By the way: who wants to lose weight, must supply the body with less
energy than it consumes. Diet expert Sven-David Müller: "In order to
better assess how much you feed your body, you need to count
calories. This is the most important measure to reduce obesity. But
you do not have to count calories all day - because that leads to stress, which
is known to make you fat and dissatisfied. "
"Not everything we eat is equally
full," says Professor Volker Pudel from the Department of Nutrition
Psychology at the University of Göttingen. "By consciously eating, we
can but beat the hunger." That means: In order to permanently keep their
desired weight, you should put on full-fledged satiety in your diet!
·
Eating the right calories: A high-fat meal contains many calories, is heavy in the
stomach and makes you very full at first. "But especially after meals
rich in fat we get hungry very quickly," says Professor
Pudel. Reason: "They simply contain the 'wrong' calories."
Expert Poodles: "Fat calories do not last as long as the same amount of
energy from protein and carbohydrates."
·
Carbohydrates make happy: the switch in the brain, which switches between the feeling
"hungry" and "full", is activated by
carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not called vain food for
nothing. "They make us happy," says Professor Pudel.
·
Rice and noodles as a basis: "The best are so-called complex carbohydrates." So
eat whole grain rice and pasta ,
potatoes and vegetables. That's enough for longer. Because
high-carbohydrate food fills the stomach because of its larger volume,
saturation occurs at mealtime.
Healthy with fruits and
vegetables
Fruit and vegetables should protect against
cancer, cardiovascular diseases and obesity - the secondary phytochemicals
contained a health-promoting effect is said.But does that apply equally to all
varieties? No, show recent research! Because modern breeds contain
the good substances in much lower dose.
Especially in winter, dietary habits should be adapted to the
higher nutritional requirements of fruits and vegetables in order to build up
and strengthen the immune system. "In the cold season, it is particularly
important to pay attention to a healthy and balanced diet," says Melanie
Bauermann, TÃœV Rheinland food experts.
SO HEALTHY ARE RED CABBAGE & RADISHES
Gooseberry: The
high content of potassium, calcium and magnesium make the gooseberry a true
athlete's fruit.

cruciferous vegetables contain a lot of calcium, sodium and vitamins A and C; Stimulate
the small bowel muscles, promote bile flow and relieve the liver.
Carrot: One
of the most valuable vegetables: contains provitamin A (carotene), folic acid,
potassium, iron, magnesium. Good for the immune system and the eyes.

as a mild laxative.

consumption reduces cholesterol, is a good diarrhea. 100 g contain 12 mg
of vitamin C. In addition, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E and provitamin A.
Strawberry: The collection nut fruit helps against gout, liver
problems and constipation. It contains a lot of vitamin C (62 mg per 100
g), K, folic acid, biotin and iron, therefore it is conducive to anemia.
Plum: a gentle
helper in digestion. In addition, with 13 mg of vitamin A. Very diverse:
fresh, as compote or cake, in the rum pot. Tip: plum juice!
"In
order to strengthen the immune system and to survive cold waves healthy, a
vitamin and zinc rich diet is important. Many vitamins are not produced by
the body itself, but must be absorbed through the diet. Winter vegetables,
especially different types of cabbage and citrus fruits are therefore a good
nutritional basis to stay healthy in the winter. "
Healthy diet with meat
How
healthy is meat? Bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer (33) has
initiated a huge discussion with his book "Eating Animals" in the US.
The Germans also love meat, eat on
average 60 kilos per year. But what's in beef steak and pork
schnitzel? In BILD answers nutritionist and author * Sven-David Müller
(40) the most important questions.
How important is meat for our diet?
In general, meat is a useful part of
a healthy diet. We humans are omnivorous - that's what our teeth and
digestive tract are designed for. A mixed diet gets us the best.
·
IN EISBEIN STUCK 20% FAT!
How
much fat is actually in the meat? BILD names five examples:
Beef: The tenderloin of beef has the leanest meat with an
average fat content of only 2 to 3%.
Poultry: With 2 to 5% fat content, turkey breast is also very
low in fat.
Veal: Even the chop can
land with a fat content of 5 to 10% without hesitation on your plate.
Lamb: A
lamb leg provides an average fat content of about 10%.
Pork: The
knuckle (haxe) is surrounded by a thick layer of fat. Attention: up to 20%
fat.
How much meat is good for me?
It makes sense to eat meat two to
three times a week. The German Nutrition Society recommends 300 to 600
grams of meat per week.
More does not hurt, but brings
nothing. You can eat practically unlimited amounts of meat - every day a
steak carries no risk. Exception: Those who are prone to gout should
restrict their meat consumption. Studies that say red meat causes cancer
have been refuted.
How can I meaningfully replace meat?
By whole milk and cheese products as
well as by eggs, which are a wholesome food. Soy is not as good as it does
not contain enough iron, calcium, zinc or B vitamins.
Healthy Diet: Tips for Parents
Nutrition
experts sound the alarm: every sixth child in Germany is too
fat. Ascending trend!
The
problem: Up to 80% of fat children
remain overweight even as adults. The consequences are serious illnesses
such as diabetes, heart attack, cancer or dementia. BILD says what a
proper and healthy diet should look like for children.
What should parents pay attention to first?
Prohibitions
do not bring anything! On the contrary! They make one thing (eg
sweets) especially desirable.
This
also applies to constraints: who
is forced to always eat vegetables, can develop a real rejection against it.
Parents should lead by
example. That brings the most!
How many calories do children need?
There
is no hard and fast rule. The older the children are and the more they
move, the more calories they need.
It should be half an hour of sport a
day. Boys usually have a higher energy requirement than girls.
Guideline: An 8-year-old boy needs around 1900 calories, a girl
of the same age around 1700.
What does a balanced diet look
like ?
Children need two cold and one warm
main meal a day. It does not matter whether they eat warm food for lunch
or dinner - it is best to have a family meal together.
·
The most important meal for children
is the breakfast - it can, for. A glass of milk and a wholemeal bread with
jam or with cottage cheese and tomato. Alternative: a bowl of oatmeal with
fresh fruits and low-fat yoghurt.
·
The hot meal can be z. As a
vegetable pan with rice, broccoli with steak or spaghetti Bolognese.
·
As a second cold meal is z. For
example, a wholegrain bread with cheese and kiwi is delicious.
·
To make sure the time is not too
long, kids need two snacks: A handful of nuts and a glass of milk or a
banana.
