THE BODY WEIGHT
Checking the weight means performing an energetic balance: such balance
results from the ratio between the quantity of ingested nutrients, i.e. the
ingested calories, and the actually consumed calories. The daily necessary
quantity of energy depends on the metabolism, on the life-style and on the
type of activities performed by each single person. Controlling one's own
weight is essential in order to protect health effectively: eating well means
being healthy. It has been proved that most of diseases, many of which
extremely dangerous, are associated to unbalanced eating habits not only
in terms of quality but also in terms of quantity.
Among the most known, the following ones should be mentioned:
• ischemic heart diseases;
• cerebrovascular diseases;
• diabetes mellitus;
• intestine tumors;
• etc.
All these diseases are present above all among obese persons: therefore,
controlling the weight together with controlling the quality of the nutrients
becomes one of the essential factors to prevent diseases. Healthy eating
means selecting the foodstuffs that supply the body with all the necessary
nutriment to grow and keep the physiological functions and the biochemical
processes balanced.
HINTS foR A HEAlTHY fEEDING AND To CoNTRol WEIGHT
• To follow a balanced diet it is necessary not to exceed in the consumption
of the same types of food neglecting the essential elements contained in
other types of food, as well as not eating more than needed. A healthy
diet includes suitable quantities of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fibers,
vitamins and minerals, as well as, obviously, water.
• Having a complete meal only once a day is a bad habit. It is better to have
many small meals instead of just an abundant one. Three meals a day and
a sneak in the middle of the morning or of the afternoon represent the
basis for a correct feeding.
• It is suggested to sit down and relax when eating. Select a comfortable
environment can be relevant.
• Do not eat when you are focused on doing other activities, i.e. when you
are watching TV or working, in order to avoid eating too much without
even noticing it. To support the digestion process it is recommended to
eat slowly and chew well, enjoying the color, taste and consistency of
the food.
• Combining a correct feeding to physical activity is an essential condition
to allow increasing the metabolism, consuming more calories and remain-
ing in good shape.
• It is important to remember that with age human body seems to need less
energy due to still not so clear reasons (maybe due to the fact that one
leads a less active life): however, many aged people do not reduce their
consumption of food and tend to grow fat.
Getting used to follow a balanced diet is surely of help in increasing the
quality of life, promoting health and preventing diseases, as well as in in-
creasing vitality and remaining in good shape!
CAuTIoN!
• Never follow diets autonomously, always refer to a doctor or dietician.
• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual
values have always to be discussed with one's own physician. Under no
circumstances must you change the dose of medicines prescribed by your
Doctor.
