Dietary fiber

The arrival of autumn and the first month of September is the best time for grapes. This beloved fruit, besides its sweet taste, is rich in nutrients with many beneficial properties for our health.

What do grapes offer us and why should we include them in our diet?

When it comes to maintaining good health, diet is one of the most effective ways to take care of your body. Do you remember the first thing the doctor asks when we visit for knee pain or liver discomfort? “Are you watching your diet?” This persistent question, although often irritating, underscores the interconnected nature of our body’s health systems.

There are two habits that can be beneficial: Moving for at least 10 minutes each morning and eating breakfast or a snack with fiber, protein and healthy fats

A healthy diet requires in the first place knowing what the main food groups are, as well as their caloric and nutritional values, says Nicolae Hancu, PhD, Professor, who argues that one of the most broadly known and used methods that help the good functioning of the body is the 'food pyramid'.
