Luego tenemos a los alimentos rojos y amarillos, que suelen ser ricos en vitamina C (naranjas,
limones y fresas); vitamina A (calabaza, durazno y yema de huevo (no olvien que eso debe ser
boiled)); y vitaminas A y C (como pimentón rojo, tomate y melón).
Pero las carnes y sus derivados no se quedan atrás, los alimentos blancos son reconocidos por
ser ricos en proteína ,como el pescado y la pechuga de pollo (preferido grilled or rast); en
carbohidratos (como el pan Blanco horneado); en calcio (como la leche). Se sabe que todos en
general contienen potasio.
Y finalmente tenemos a los alimentos morados que contienen mucho hierro, como las ciruelas,
pasas, carnes rojas (beef, Lamb or tuna); vitamina B (el higado); y fibras y vitamina C (las moras y
el repollo morado).
Estamos de acuerdo que una buena alimentación no sólo nos hace ver y sentir mejor,
sino que además nos hace más fuertes contra las enfermedades, ya que activa
mecanismos para sanar. Tenemos que darnos cuenta de nuestra alimentación antes que
sea muy tarde, pero aun estamos a tiempo.
THE COLOR OF NUTRITION
It’s been shown that most diseases in humanity depend on bad eating habits. A good diet must
be balanced, that is, the nutrients must be consumed in such a way that there is no excess or
defect of any. It must be complete, providing all the nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates,
fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water, that the body needs at that moment. Next, we’ll look
at the foods from a different perspective, classified by their color and the benefits that attribute
them.
Let's start with the most common, hated by children and loved by vegetarians: Green foods
usually have a large amount of vitamin A and C (like broccoli, courgette, lettuce and cabbage);
of vitamin C (green pepper and cauliflower); iron (spinach) and fiber (vegetables in general:
green beans, peas, cucumbers, etc.). The pear also belongs to this group.
Then we have red and yellow foods, which are usually rich in vitamin C (oranges, mango, lemons,
raspberries and strawberries); vitamin A (pumpkin, peach and egg yolk (don’t forget that it must
be boiled)); and vitamins A and C (such as red pepper, tomato and melon).
But meats and their derivatives aren’t left behind, white foods are recognized as being rich in
protein, such as fish, seafood (crab and squid) and chicken breast (preferred grilled or roast); in
carbohydrates (such as baked white bread); in calcium (like milk). It is known that all in general
contain potassium.
And finally we have purple foods that contain a lot of iron, such as sour cherries, raisins,
beetroot, grapes, aubergine, red meats (beef, lamb, tuna and pork); vitamin B (the liver); and
fibers and vitamin C (blackberries, purple cabbage).
We agree that a good diet not only makes us look and feel better, but also makes us stronger
against diseases, since it activates mechanisms to heal. We have to realize our food before it's
too late, but we're still on time.
