An Individualized, Healthy Diet

In fact, we all have a food pattern, but most of our food patterns may not be healthy and scientific. The food you eat, the amount of food and the time you eat, make up your eating pattern.

When a specialist recommends that you go on a diet, they mean following a healthy eating pattern.

It means that you need to choose healthier foods, eat a proportionate amount of each and have the right timing for your meals.

The first goal of having a healthy diet is health. Many diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver, osteoporosis, several types of cancer, digestive problems, diseases caused by vitamin deficiency, blood fat, blood pressure, and some neurological disorders are caused by unhealthy eating.

Secondly, the goal of having a healthy diet is to reach a balanced weight. That is, if we are underweight, the obesity diet or weight gain should increase our weight, and if we are overweight, we should lose weight with the help of a slimming diet. Fitness contributes to our beauty and self-confidence.

In some cases, temporary diets have a therapeutic purpose. For example, the attending physician may prohibit the patient from consuming a certain food for a short period of time or may provide him with supplemental help.
Different foods also have different glycemic index. A high glycemic index indicates that a food raises blood sugar very quickly and leads to the rapid release of insulin.

Here are some foods listed according to their glycemic index:

If we give the same diet to two similar people, the results will not be the same.

How many hours you sleep each day and what time you wake up will change your response to food.

Things like genetics, gender, age, medical history, weight, exercise history and lifestyle make different people respond differently to the same foods.
