Proper nutrition is a matter of habit and adherence to several basic principles such as choosing quality natural products according to the season, the right combination of foods according to age and health. Proper food preparation is also important for easier digestion, moderate amounts of food and thorough chewing.
And most importantly - under no circumstances overeat. Everything else leads to an immediate risk of being overweight or, at best, to gaining unwanted weight.
Excessive consumption of animal and refined foods deprived of nutritional value is at the root of many diseases such as overweight and obesity.
As a rule, it is good to avoid fatty and fried foods, because they are a prerequisite for cardiovascular disease, among other things. It is good to start each main meal with a fresh seasonal salad. But the main problem with many Bulgarian families is that they can not afford such diversity in every meal, and this is a serious prerequisite for overweight and many other diseases.
However, there is always the option to prepare healthier and tastier meals, although this usually involves more resources and labor.
Breakfast is very important. It is good to have fruit or vegetable juice with breakfast, to eat fresh or dried fruits. It is right to have a salad with lunch, in which vegetables predominate. The same goes for dinner.
Salads are a wonderful food that helps to tone the body and cleanses the stomach of harmful accumulations. It is always good to eat seasonal vegetables. But the presence of greens is the healthiest choice of salad. They have a variety of vitamins, trace elements and fats such as omega-3 and omega-6, which are in perfect proportions. If it is possible to start each main meal with a fresh seasonal salad, then this will guarantee us a sufficient amount of vitamins and trace elements, enzymes and fatty acids that are useful.

Of course, a day or two of eating unhealthy foods will not have much effect on weight, but systemic overload of the body such as overeating and consumption of harmful foods leads to overweight. The most common culprits for this are the fats we eat. They accumulate in the form of fat deposits in our body and this leads to extra pounds.
The best nutrition for health and weight loss is with complete plant washes - fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes.
Bulgarians living before 1920 can be cited as an example of a proper and healthy way of eating and living. They ate most often fruits, vegetables, cereals, millet, corn, bulgur, wheat, barley, oats, rye and others, legumes such as lentils and beans, butter and infrequent consumption of milk.
