ALL ABOUT DIET PLANS

There is a lot of focus these days on eating correctly. The World over, various debates are raging as to what is the correct way to eat. There is constant debate going on especially as to how much carbohydrates, fats or proteins one should eat. There are for and against camps for everything. Add to this various fad diets like ketogenic diet plans, caveman plans and others, and the utter confusion is completed. In all of this clutter, it is therefore, essential to figure out what is important. Let us look at some interesting facts and researches related to diet and nutrition.

THE RIGHT COMBINATION

–          Exercise and physical activities.

–          Nature of profession or job.

–          Season plays a big role in diet. Based on weather and season, your diet should undergo a change.

–          Sex of the individual does not matter much. The only time, nutrition or diet may vary for women is during pregnancy and during menopause. Else it’s pretty much the same for men and women.
