It has been shown that overweight, far from being a purely aesthetic problem, is an important risk factor for numerous diseases (cardiovascular problems, “fatty” diabetes, some cancers, etc.). In some countries it affects more than one third of the population and is considered responsible for a large percentage of deaths a year.

The reality

Unfortunately, many people who suffer from fatness only worry about it as summer approaches, when the “scales fever” triggers a real epidemic. Unnecessary kilos then become an intolerable burden, which must be disposed of as quickly as possible. Wrongly, because drastic and unbalanced diets represent, in the long run, a threat to health, as much as being overweight. Among the side effects of these diets, often associated with nutritional deficiencies, are chronic fatigue, nervous and mood disorders, weakening of the immune system, premature aging, bone decalcification, etc. To these must be added the slowing of the metabolism, which leads to an increasingly marked tendency to weight gain.

Considering these reasons, it is advisable to adopt a balanced diet, which allows you to gradually find again and stabilize your ideal weight, without losing either tone or good mood.

How to achieve this goal

To achieve this goal, some rules must be followed:

• Prefer vegetables, rich in vitamins and minerals, and lean protein foods, which “fill” but provide few calories
• Prefer whole-grain carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, etc.) to refined carbohydrates, which satiate longer and are richer in nutrients
• Limit but not suppress visible fats, essential for the assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins
• Reduce the consumption of sweets and alcohol

Conclusion

Take a suitable nutritional supplement, such as, for example, cod liver oil, available in capsules. Very rich in natural vitamins A and D, whose intake is insufficient in almost all low-calorie diets, this oil also exists in a multi-vitamin version, for people who have a poorly varied diet and / or poor in raw vegetables and fruit, or for those suffering from lack of energy and / or nervousness.
