Common Dietary Mistakes You Make
Diet mistakes can be divided into two categories – cognitive and qualitative.
Nutrition basics
Breakfast Is Not The Most Important Meal Of The Day
When I was younger and more seriously into sports, the first thing I would think about when I woke up was breakfast.
Why We Eat Too Much
Most articles on obesity (you can say being fat) start with statistical data on numbers of overweight people in a certain population. I’ll skip that part and ask why is this so, why are we overweight.
Why You Need a Nutritionist
While some still don’t know who a nutritionist is and what he does, most ask themselves whether they need it or is it worth the financial investment. Here I’ll try to show why that’s a smart move for maintaining and improving your health, both physical and psychological, regardless of your knowledge about diet.
Definition of a Healthy Diet – part 2
In the first part of this short series I emphasized the need for an all-around definition of a healthy (proper) diet, and wrote about the consequences of the lack thereof. Today I’ll define healthy diet using the effective, qualitative, and practical definition.
Definition of a Healthy Diet – part 1
Proper, healthy diet, is one of the most talked about things nowadays. Not a day goes by that we don’t read or hear about it on TV, radio or in magazines. However, judging by the content, most authors wouldn’t know its definition. The few that would don’t give a good enough one.
Healthy or Proper Diet
Terms healthy and proper diet are often interchanged freely. In practice, there’s no difference, but I’d like to write a few words on their meanings. Up until recently I avoided the term healthy and utilized the term proper, simply because I hadn’t completely made up my mind on what the definition of health should be. I still haven’t, but sometimes you need to compromise.
College Diet
During my college days at Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, I had my lunch and dinner in the student canteen. I was warned almost instantly that canteen food was horrible, unhealthy, toxic, cancerogenic, other-currently-popular-words. Even though I supported this viewpoint in the beginning, as I educated myself more I started to question it.
Adolescents’ Diet
Adolescence marks the period between childhood and adulthood filled with physiological, psychological, and sociological changes. It begins with puberty, but its ending is hard to define because it does not depend on the end of physical growth only, but also on cultural changes such as getting a job and moving out of the parents’ home.
Omega-3 and Health – Cancer
In my last article I wrote about Ω-3 fatty acids, commenting on their potential health benefits. Considering the comments I received saying it seemed like I promote Ω-3 supplements after I mentioned the risks of excess blue fish consumption, I would like to clear the air right away and say it most certainly isn’t so.
