Planning a balanced and personalized diet is essential for ensuring good health and a healthy lifestyle, which brings numerous benefits: maintaining a healthy body weight, preventing chronic diseases, and avoiding malfunctions of various bodily systems. Additionally, it provides a constant feeling of energy and physical and mental well-being. Ultimately, a healthy diet promotes a longer life.
Before starting to plan your diet, establish the goals you want to achieve. Do you want to lose weight, gain muscle mass, or simply maintain a balanced diet? Goals will help you define the type of diet you need.
Calculate your daily caloric needs based on your weight, height, age, sex, and level of physical activity. Based on this, you can build a hypocaloric or hypercaloric diet according to your needs.
Planning meals in advance helps you avoid wrong food choices or impulse-driven decisions. The best thing to do is to prepare a well-detailed weekly menu, trying to vary the foods often so that your diet is not monotonous and boring.
Water is essential to keep the body hydrated, is involved in all digestive processes, and is fundamental to maintaining a strong immune system. Drink at least 2 liters of water a day and limit the consumption of sugary drinks.
"Water is the source of life and the nourishment of health. By drinking enough water, we keep our body hydrated and balanced."
Dr. Howard Murad
