1. Non-processed grain products
They form the foundation of the food pyramid. For this reason, they should be present in our menu as often as possible as they are non-processed products. Purified white flours are not whole grain. Whole grains, endosperm, germs, and shells are present in non-processed products. As a result, they are a source of vitamins, minerals, and fibers that originate from the outer layer of the grains - in processed products made from white flours they are not present. Non-processed products are a source of folic acid (participating in the blood formation process, extremely important for the normal development of the fetus), niacin (influencing the function of the nervous system, skin, and mucous membranes), phosphorus (influencing the condition of bones and teeth as well as the metabolism), iron (essential for the formation of red blood cells and oxygen transport), magnesium (necessary for normal muscle and nervous function as well as bone and tooth structure), and zinc (influencing the condition of bones, skin and the function of the immune system). Another important advantage of these products is the high fiber content. A very important component of the diet. Therefore, it is worth choosing whole grain bread instead of white, coarse instead of fine cereals, brown instead of white rice, and wide instead of narrow noodles.2. Fish – crucial dietary component
Fish are an indispensable component of our diets, unfortunately, their meat is increasingly contaminated, which requires us to know which fish should be chosen. Fish can be divided into marine and freshwater, and based on their fat content. Sea fish contain more fat, making them a better source of omega-3 fatty acids. This does not mean that freshwater fish do not contain these nutrients. Fatty acids are the most important nutrient for fish. DHA and EPA are the two omega-3 acids found in fish. Iodine, selenium, magnesium, and vitamin D are other valuable nutrients that occur in fish. Fish protein is complete, as the muscle tissue of fish has a favorable amino acid composition. Therefore, the application of fish in the diet can compensate for the deficiency of amino acids from plant-based diets.3. Chicken Eggs
Chicken eggs are a contentious product due to the presence of cholesterol in the yolk. However, they are gaining popularity due to the presence of other constituents. The yolk contains lecithin and omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in the reduction of cholesterol levels. Chicken egg protein comprises a full set of amino acids. All exogenous amino acids, those that the human body does not produce but are necessary for its functioning, are present in chicken egg protein. The yolk serves as a source of triglycerides, phospholipids, and vitamins A, D, E, and K.4. Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables constitute the foundation of the pyramid of healthy nutrition. They are a source of valuable vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber. However, when choosing fruits and vegetables, we should be guided by the seasons. Fruits and vegetables that do not develop in a specific climate zone at a certain time of the year should be excluded from our menu, as they are grown using chemicals that accumulate in plants. Therefore, in winter in Poland it is better to avoid eating tomatoes, cucumbers or radishes.5. Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables constitute essential components of daily meals. They provide the body with vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Regular intake is recommended, however, due to varying levels of simple sugars in fruits, it is crucial to carefully monitor the type and amount of consumed products. Chemical contamination of plants adheres to the same norms as for vegetables - strawberries should only be consumed in the summer season.
