So what does this mean? What is a healthy diet? 
What should you buy and eat to ensure that you are following a healthy eating regime.
The concept of healthy eating is not new, but what constitutes a healthy diet does change. 
50 years ago a healthy diet would have looked rather different to that of one today.

Optimum Diet and Health

Much of the current research into nutrition is concerned with determining the optimum diet for health. It is known that many foods help to combat diseases, and likewise, others cause disease.
In an ideal world everyone will know what to eat to ensure that they achieve optimum health, even if the food is not always available. It is important to mention first that there are not really any “bad” foods. 
A bad diet is not one that includes a few “unhealthy” foods, but a diet that is unbalanced. Sugar, fat and salt are all essential in a healthy diet, but consuming too much is what causes problems.

Are You One of Those Fools That Believe These 4 CRAP About Tea?

PLEASE SHARE THIS ARTICLE

So, are you curious about what crap I'm talkin' about? I bet you are!!! Let's start!

1. Tea loses its properties if mixed with milk

A true nonsense... because recent scientific evidence shows that after mixing with milk, tea does not change the amount of catechins assimilated by the body.

Catechins are antioxidants that are designed to prevent certain cancers.

2. Any stomach problems can be cured with mint tea

The truth is that this tasty drink is not always recommended, gastric acid is just one of the diseases that may worsen if mint tea consumption. When you have stomach problems, according to experts, appeal to ginger tea.

3. Tea is more beneficial if it is not mixed with anything

I think you agree when I say that sounds downright ridiculous! The truth is that if you add lemon juice, citric acid in its composition contributes to its flavonoids preservation.

Flavonoids are compounds that turn teas into real medicines!

Want to have better concentration power? Add a little honey in each cup of tea you drink!

4. Tea has no term of validity

Unfortunately, IT DOES! About after six months almost any tea loses its properties.

Journal of Food Science in the United States in 2009 proved that green tea loses about 32% of properties after 6 months, if you want to avoid this, you can do this by keeping the tea in a sealed container in an area devoid of light or humidity! But after a while, tea properties will still disappear!
