Wholemeal Pasta with Turkey Breast and Vegetables

If we don’t eat, we don’t have the strength or disposition to carry out the most banal activities, in addition to seriously compromising the performance of vital functions in our  body .

Of course, the quality of the food ingested is fundamental. It’s not enough to just eat. It is necessary to eat properly, providing the  body  with the nutrients necessary for its perfect functioning, without deficiencies or exaggerations.

A balanced diet, containing balanced fruits, cereals (including whole grains),  vegetables ,  meats and  milk  ,  can contribute positively to the maintenance of the individual’s health.

However, it is always good to emphasize that the diversity of foods is fundamental, as there are no complete foods capable of providing the  body with the  full range of nutrients required for its maintenance, preserving its health.

So the premise of good nutrition is based, mainly, on the diversification of food offered in adequate amounts, which does not mean saying exaggeration, on the contrary, moderation is essential.

A good way to achieve permanent changes and maintain a healthy diet is to change small habits at a time, such as:

• Always put two portions of vegetables on the plate, such as  beans ,  lentils  or  peas , for example;
• Eat one fruit a day and gradually increase it until you eat a maximum of 5 fruits a day;
• Gradually reduce the amount of sugar added to milk or coffee;
• Do not eat sweets, cookies, stuffed cookies, fast food, processed foods and fried foods;
• Swap the oil and  butter  for olive oil;

The best recipes are mainly salads, soups and juices, as they are foods rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals that provide satiety, prevent constipation, cleanse the  body  and combat fluid retention. So, now check out the Wholemeal Pasta with Turkey Breast and Vegetables Recipe :
