Consuming healthy foods and following a balanced diet is good for health and promotes long-term well-being. At EnergyBalance, we've compiled a list of 10 nutritional tips for your well-being today and tomorrow.


Tip 1
Eat variedly. Choose above all organic and unrefined foods. A diet based on whole foods is essential for a healthy and balanced diet. Whether you are vegetarian, vegan or omnivorous, limit your consumption of highly processed foods.


Tip 2
Always choose fresh, local and seasonal food. Meat and fish on your plates should be limited to 20% of your meal.


Tip 3
Preferably consume meat from "ethical" farms. Meat from factory farms contains many harmful substances, such as inflammatory fats and free radicals. New research has shown that pairing with carbohydrates, corn, pasta, potatoes, rice, bread and alcohol causes inflammation, insulin resistance and oxidative stress. Likewise, it seeks to consume fish caught in a sustainable and ecosystem-friendly way.

Tip 4
Take high quality protein. They are not only found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, but also in legumes and wild herbs. When it comes to animal proteins, watch out for the origin of meat and fish!


Tip 5
Eat in moderation everything that contains sugar. Sugar, in fact, if consumed in excess, can cause inflammation, fatigue, sleep disorders and insulin resistance – or insulin resistance that raises blood sugar and thus forces the pancreas to "overtime" in the production of increasing amounts of insulin.

Tip 6
Make sure you get enough fatty acids – the good fats. You can find them, for example, in nuts, flax seeds, chia seeds, goat and sheep dairy products, seaweed and fish. Replace animal fats with vegetable oils – such as coconut or olive oil.

Tip 7
Consume fruits low in fructose. The most recommended is in this regard: all types of berries, rhubarb, apricots, papaya and pineapple. Ancient varieties of apples contain numerous phytonutrients and a good amount of fiber. Consuming fruit preferably in the morning is a healthy and good habit. Remember that fruit after 14:00 puts a strain on your metabolism.

Tip 8
The more varied your diet, the more your microbiome (i.e. the set of all microorganisms that live in symbiosis on our body, mainly in the intestine) is strengthened. The gut is often referred to as the "second brain"; The more bacteria present, the more there is a chance that there will be healthy bacteria, which make us healthy and vital.


Tip 9
Provide your body with a sufficient amount of soluble fiber and fiber. This is the food that your gut bacteria love the most. Good long-chain carbohydrates, such as black rice, nuts and legumes, keep your bacterial apparatus in balance.

Tip 10
A good balance will help you lead a long and healthy life. A balanced diet is a good place to start. But other things are needed: adequate physical activity, fulfilling employment, good social relationships, curiosity and open-mindedness. These are the factors that contribute to a happy life. Simply, do the things that make you feel good. And possibly every day!
