Although it seems that everyone knows what a healthy and balanced diet is, but when it is followed on a daily basis, knowledge is forgotten.

We mistakenly think that it is difficult to practice on a daily basis, looking for new excuses why a healthy diet could not be an important part of everyday life.

In fact, everything is quite simple. Your diet should include enough protein, fat, carbohydrates, water, and vitamins. The biggest source of vitamins are fruits and vegetables, which now, in the summer season, have the highest nutritional value. They should make up almost half of the daily meals. The daily dose for an adult is 2-4 servings of fruit and at least 3-4 servings of vegetables, which is about 500 grams in total.

On the other hand, if one of the food groups that provide part of the nutrients is excluded from the menu, alternatives must be sought. For example, if meat products are excluded, care must be taken to get enough protein, iron and vitamin B12, and to keep track of the total amount of fats, carbohydrates and various minerals and vitamins on a daily basis.
–
In such cases, it is recommended to use food supplements to supplement the diet. They contain concentrated nutrients (vitamins and minerals) or other substances that have a nutritional or physiological effect, alone or in combination. It is recommended that you consult your doctor or pharmacist to choose the one that works best for you.

Walking barefoot
–
There are about 70,000 nerve receptors in the footprint, which receive information about the environment – temperature, pressure, touch and they are connected to many organs of the body, but they are not employed when wearing shoes. Walking barefoot energizes all the muscles of the feet and stimulates the many nerve endings in the feet. Thanks to it, it strengthens the immune system, improves the functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic system, reduces tension, and we feel more alert and cheerful.

In order to create a bouquet of different impulses for the body, while strengthening the ability to adapt to changing living conditions, it is recommended to walk on warm sand, gravel path, soft grass or simply paddling on water. On the other hand, if the skin of the feet is dry, the heels are rough or even cracked, before going for a walk barefoot, the feet must first heal. In such cases, it is recommended to use creams available in pharmacies that contain at least 15-20% urea acid, which will moisturize and heal the dry skin of the heels.
