Dear readers, we are ready to participate again in @ecotrain's question of the week, we do not intend to recommend healthy recipes or give a lecture about it, but to leave our opinion. I will begin by pointing out that in the region where I am, Zulia State in Venezuela, obesity levels are high, generally people who live here consume a lot of fats, carbohydrates and sugars, it is impressive the high consumption of soft drinks, which sometimes results in people with high glucose levels, a pathology known as diabetes that certainly decreases the quality of life of people.
On the other hand, being a purely agricultural area, crops such as bananas, cassava, rice, meat, vegetables and fruits that are adapted to tropical areas are produced, there you can see that animal protein, carbohydrates and other nutritional elements that provide the agricultural items mentioned, the problem is that there is no balanced diet, since, usually the meals of the Zuliano are accompanied by two foods that provide carbohydrates, for example: It is common that at lunchtime there is animal or vegetable protein on the plate but it is accompanied by rice and plantain or cassava, which causes a nutritional imbalance and excess of carbohydrates according to our perception.
The above mentioned, allows us to observe that in spite of having at our disposal a great amount of ideal items for our nutrition, many times due to lack of knowledge or by simple omission we feed ourselves in an unbalanced way, which generates an imbalance in our metabolism and is expressed through obesity or pathologies. In order to achieve a healthy diet we must combine foods in the right way, for this, we must know the nutrients that each one provides and design a food plan according to them and follow some principles that have been described by some nutrition specialists and will be mentioned below:
Remember that the diet must be varied and that no single food provides all the nutrients our body needs for proper functioning.
Balance the portions of protein, fats and carbohydrates, so that each dish should be composed of foods that provide a portion of the total calories needed.
Do not overeat to avoid exceeding the number of calories needed.
On the other hand, and no less important, for a healthy diet it must be guaranteed that they are items that have been handled in a safe and responsible manner, we refer to the agronomic management of crops, the ideal would be to produce food based on resources that do not generate any type of toxicity to the ecosystem and of course to humans, but currently it is the opposite, many synthetic products are used to increase yields in an accelerated manner leaving aside consumer safety.
The indiscriminate use of synthetic products can cause some strange pathologies, about 11 years ago we (@pinedaocl and @amestyj) lived a very unpleasant experience, my wife was pregnant and during her pregnancy began to consume strawberries, these fruits were brought from a temperate zone near our region, but has a history of excessive use of synthetic products for pest control. When my baby was born he presented respiratory problems and was confined in intensive care, because he presented cysts in his left lung from which they had to remove part of his upper lobe, this congenital disease occurs in 1 child in 10.000. My wife had a stable pregnancy, so from our perspective we think that the excessive consumption of strawberries with possible residues of synthetic products could have affected her baby.
Final considerations
Dear readers, from agrotecnia we consider that we should consume agricultural products managed in an ecological way, since food is the fundamental basis for our body and it depends on it that we have a healthy life, it should also be made clear that we should not ignore the balanced nutrition sometimes we prefer to eat junk food filling our body with many calories without any kind of balance. If we eat in a balanced way we will have a healthy body and nutrition helps us to prevent many diseases.
From agrotecnia we reiterate our gratitude to our followers and all the communities that value our agricultural content, this commits us to continue sharing quality information with the whole hive.
