YOUR JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
Our food consumption often exceeds our necessary intake, and when it involves salty, sweet, and fatty foods, we increase our risk factors for disease. How can we manage our cravings without depriving ourselves or embarking on a strict and frustrating diet?
Our food is our fuel; it provides our body with different types of nutrients. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals are provided by food.
We each have different appetites for food categories, with a preference for specific tastes. Some of us prefer salty foods, others sweeter.
The diversity of today’s food offerings means that we can ultimately consume what we want, whenever we want it: sweet, salty, and fatty.
These three elements are found in fast-food options like snacking or fast food. And their consumption often exceeds our necessary intake! This sometimes results in a kind of “addiction,” the mechanism of which must be dismantled to avoid harmful effects on our health.
Too much fat, salt, or sugar increases our risk factors for cardiovascular disease and also for cancer.
