Healthy eating is so simple that it seems sometimes complex!
Here are some basic rules:
- Drink plenty of water not chlorinated.
- Vegetables are the basis of our diet, make sure they hold 50 to 60% of your plate.
- Learn to cook with whole foods: grains (spelled, kamut, buckwheat, quinoa, soy, brown rice, etc..), Legumes (chickpeas, lentils, beans, etc..) Seeds and nuts (sunflower, pumpkin, hemp , almond, hazelnut, etc..).
- Choose good fats: oils, extra virgin cold pressed (olive, sunflower, hemp, flax, etc..).
- Choose lean meats like chicken and fish.
On the other side of the balance:
- Avoid products made with refined white flour (bread, cookies, muffins, cakes, pasta, etc..)
- Avoid that contain white sugar or too much salt.
- Reduce your consumption of dairy products.
Then seek the balance!

The balance in our tax base is also the art of combining carbohydrates with low glycemic index, protein and fat at every meal. Use palm of your hand as a reference:
