7 foods we should eat everyday: learn more about the 5 food groups that we should include in our daily diet for a healthier lifestyle
There are at least 7 foods you should eat everyday: lost in the midst of new superfoods or new healthy diets popping every day? Don’t worry, what we need is common sense
A healthy diet should not be just for the looks, it’s part of a healthier and more conscious lifestyle
It is true that every day we have more and more information about foods and their health benefits. And it is also true that sometimes yesterday’s villain is today’s hero (just Google about egg and butter and you can get a better idea about this).
Common sense
That is why it is more important to use your common sense: to avoid getting lost or following trendy diets. Even superfoods in over amounts can be bad for your health.
Regardless if you follow any restrictive diet (lifestyle and/or medical reasons), it is important to include not only a rich healthy menu, but also include variety and balance in your choices.
7 foods you should eat everyday is about balancing all 05 food groups like vegetables, fruits, good fat etc. And it is more effective if it is part of your lifestyle: a healthy diet to support healthy habits like exercises, sleeping hours, relaxing moments.
