Introduction
Food for fitness – eat sensibly, live healthily
Being fit
is the latest trend! Those who wish to remain healthy and fit have to be very conscious of what they eat. It has been proven that a high quality, low-fat and low-calorie diet increases performance and well-being, and helps us to be and stay healthy.
10 rules for a healthy diet
As well as getting enough fluid, a healthy diet includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, wholegrain products, milk and dairy products, and a moderate consumption of meat and meat products. Based on the latest scientific findings, the German Nutrition Association has formulated the following ten rules that will help us to eat enjoyably and healthily (source: German Nutrition Association, www.dge.de).
1. Eat a varied and balanced diet
2. Eat plenty of cereal products and potatoes
3. Eat five helpings of fruit and vegetables a day
4. Milk and dairy products every day; fish once or twice a week; meat, meat products and eggs in moderation
5. Keep fats and fatty foods to a minimum
6. Consume sugar and salt in moderation
7. Drink plenty of fluids
8. Prepare tasty meals, and prepare them with care
9. Take the time to enjoy your food
10. Watch your weight and get plenty of exercise
Avoid calorie bombs
If you take these rules to heart and include them in your daily menus, you will have taken a large step towards achieving a healthy diet that will keep you fit. Of course, we all have days when we just have to have a tasty piece of meat and greasy fried potatoes – all the things that are fatty and bad for us simply call out to us, and sometimes it’s hard not to sin
. However, although we can’t help but give in to these cravings from time to time, we really must make sure that food that is difficult to digest is the exception rather than the rule. The following pages contain lots of fabulous alternatives that we have created for you that you can enjoy to your heart’s content and without regret.
Fruit and vegetables – all-rounders for fitness
Did you know that berries can help your body to burn fats more quickly? This is because they contain lots of vitamin C, potassium, iron and copper, as well as silicic acid and salicylic acid, flavonoids to strengthen the vessels and phenolic acids that boost the defences. They also contain pectins, which aid the digestion. With only 37 kcal per 100 g, strawberries are wonderfully light treat – and they contain more vitamin C than a lemon! Blueberries, those little blue power packs, contain detoxifying tannins, healthy vitamin C, purifying potassium and – of particular benefit to women – phytoestrogens. Redcurrants are also veritable bombs of vitamin C, contain more fruit acid that any other type of berry and lots of fibre. Raspberries contain minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium and phosphorous, and stimulate the metabolism.
However, not only are berries a popular choice for light cuisine – so too are tomatoes. Although they are 94% water, the rest is certainly something to shout about: they also contain plenty of vitamins C, E and K; various B vitamins for the metabolism, growth and the nerves, and potassium, which regulates the water balance. Tomatoes are also simply bursting with the healthy colourings beta carotene and, above all, lycopin – and yet they still only have 17 kcal per 100 g.
Enjoy with a clear conscience
In this book, we prove to you that food for fitness has nothing to do with going without. From healthy snacks as an alternative to fast food, crispy salads and aromatic vegetarian dishes, to light fish and poultry dishes and sweet treats, the following pages contain a whole range of fun recipes for every taste. There’s plenty for everyone, whether health-conscious fitness freak or confirmed gourmet. We hope you enjoy eating yourself healthy!
