You should always remember that any ideal food does not exist. Some products are excellent sources of some nutrients and poor in others. So, most fruit are excellent sources of carbohydrates, protein in them but little. Diets with a high content of fibers useful in one respect, but quite useless in another.
Even more important than the type of food consumed, have her number, time of reception, as well as the combination with other products. For example, for osteoporosis prevention can eat lots of foods rich in calcium. However, to make calcium work in the body, requires such elements as phosphorus and magnesium. And these factors, in turn, is able to act only in the presence of zinc and copper.
In addition, some human needs for nutrients is determined by its genetics. For example, hypertension is often a hereditary disease, so predisposed to it, people are forced to reduce consumption of salt. And for those who have reduced blood pressure, salty foods are harmless.
If you blindly follow all simplistic "for" and "against" those foods that we eat, you can walk to unfounded fears and generally to metabolic disorders. So, many believe that "natural products", how many of them are neither eat, absolutely harmless. But actually excessive grain consumption unsafe. Adhering to the unchecked practice of power, we are experimenting on his own body. So, before you go on a diet, all you need to know about her, and ideally consult a nutritionist.
Ask: 1) whether the diet is balanced, that is, does the body of essential nutrients or requires additional intake of vitamins, minerals, food additives; 2) is it possible to stick to this diet when your diseases, if already available; limited to whether the period of its use and why; 3) whether this diet to improve your health, mood and physical form.
Remember that the key to success is in your knowledge.
