[Lifestyle] The importance of nutrition in our return to the routine

[#Steeven.™]

With the end of summer, excesses with food also ended. Returning to the routine is never easy. This year less than ever. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic brought our daily lives to a halt. He forced us to take refuge in our homes, go out little and even change our diet. After confinement, summer arrived and we still did not regain our usual rhythm. After these two stages, we have to get down to work and watch our diet.

“The return to the routine after the holidays is a period of readjustment to everyday life and, therefore, to healthy eating and living habits. Often on vacation we disconnect from the food and life routine that we lead. But, on the way back, it's time to reconnect ”, explains the nutritionist and founder of El Club de la Buena Digestion, Noemí Ojeda.

Planning is key. “Our eating pattern is the prelude to what our meals will be in our routine. Keeping it well organized and healthy has the advantage of maintaining a good level of health and well-being, both physically and emotionally. In addition, the food pattern must be previously organized to facilitate our day to day, thus eliminating worries about what to cook or eat ”, continues Ojeda.

 

Our food, a priority

The nutrition specialist gives some keys to make it easier for us to return to the routine: “One of the fundamental pillars of our diet should be the intake of fruits, vegetables, and vegetables. We have to consume them on a daily basis, up to two or three times. In the same proportion, legumes, fish and eggs. It is also advisable to consume whole or grain carbohydrates, completely avoiding refined products, which reduce nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals. On the other hand, dairy products and fruits must be consumed sporadically, depending on the needs and preferences of each person and their context ”.

Taking care of our diet has become a priority. Therefore, it is common for us to seek the advice of a specialist. Interest in this sector is also seen in the rise of training programs in nutrition.

One of these courses is the Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics, Nutrition and Food Safety at IMF Business School. In this program, among other issues, the scientific bases of the effects that nutrition produce on the body are addressed, the factors that interfere with nutrition are identified, the latest advances in nutrition and food are addressed, the student is trained to legal and technical advice to food companies, in addition to studying and establishing healthy eating guidelines in individuals and communities.

The postgraduate course is aimed especially at health science professionals such as veterinarians, biologists, food technologists, dietitians, nutritionists, nurses, pharmacists and also those specialists who develop their skills in the field of food companies and advice to the diet and nutrition.

Another option is the Specialist Course in Dietetics and Nutrition: Preparation of Diets, from the Graduate School of Medicine and Health. Among the subjects that are worked on: proteins, vitamins, nutrition during pregnancy, keys to metabolism, diet, eating habits and how to maintain a balanced diet. The course seeks that the student is trained in all the concepts of nutrition and dietetics and that they have the ability, among others, to develop diets adapted to the patient.

 

Sport and nutrition
“In order to achieve an optimal state of health we must combine a healthy, organized and balanced eating pattern with a practice of regular exercise, which combines cardiovascular-type outdoor activities with strength exercises that improve our locomotor system. A careful diet without physical exercise and vice versa are incomplete habits in the context of a healthy lifestyle that is committed to comprehensive health ”, warns Ojeda.

For those users who want to expand their knowledge in nutrition and sport, one option may be the Master in Nutrition, Master in Sports Nutrition and Master Homeopathy and Phytotherapy from Select Business School. The program will enable the student to perform dietitian tasks in the food sector, work for associations of people affected by eating disorders, develop dietary guidelines and consensus protocols, become a technician in consumer organizations or perform their work as a dietitian with consultation.
