10 Recommendations for Healthy Eating:
- Very high consumption of fish (sea and river) and shellfish (molluscs and crustaceans) that constitute the vast nature reserve of the Atlantic current. We recommend eating fish and seafood three to four times a week at different stages of life.
- Eat plenty of plant foods: cereals, potatoes and vegetables. Diets rich in these foods are the best way to get a recommended caloric profile in which 50% of the total energy consumed in the form of complex carbohydrates, and to encourage an increased supply of fiber.
- High consumption of fruits and vegetables. We recommend eating a wide variety of fruits, especially apples and citrus. Of vegetables, should keep the consumption of brassicas (cabbage, collards, turnip greens and turnip greens), and beans, peppers, onions, carrots, peas and garlic.
- Using olive oil as the main cooking fat, especially as a dip in crude.
- Eating dairy products daily. They are excellent sources of high biological value protein, minerals (calcium and phosphorus) and vitamins. Additionally, consumption of fermented milk products is associated with a number of health benefits by providing microorganisms capable of improving intestinal microflora balance.
- Meat consumption is important and should be done in moderation. It is advisable to consume lean meats that are part of dishes based on vegetables, beans or potatoes.
- We recommend eating plenty of fluids, especially water as a drink of excellence. The wine must be taken through moderate consumption, responsible and intelligent, and with food.
- Taste for simplicity in food preparation to maintain quality of raw materials and therefore the nutritional value. The use of cooking, grilled, fried in olive oil or breading techniques do not detract from the organoleptic and nutritional raw materials from the Atlantic diet.
- Maintenance of traditional food habits Atlantic. We know eating and enjoying it.
- Being physically active every day is as important as eating properly.
