Author: tayana
Sometimes we don’t know about calorie we eat, what must we eat,where we can get good eat. Now we will talk about health eat.
Calorie in a food means that you must measure the energy that contain an a food that you were consume and store to your body. And at the other hand energy used by your body during your physical activity is the number calorie that you have burned. The number of calories in food that you are eating in a day should be equal as the number of calories your body uses if you like to keep your body weight in balance. The number of calories you should eat each day depends on your age, sex, body size, how physically active you are, and other conditions. For instance, a woman between the ages of 31 and 50 who is of normal weight and moderately active should eat about 2,000 calories each day.
Fish and shellfish contain a type of fat called omega-3 (oh-MAY-guh) fatty acids. Research suggests that eating omega-3 fatty acids lowers your chances of dying from heart disease. Fish that naturally contain more oil (such as salmon, trout, herring, mackerel, anchovies, and sardines) have more omega-3 fatty acids than lean fish (such as cod, haddock, and catfish). Be careful, though, about eating too much shellfish. Shrimp is a type of shellfish that has a lot of cholesterol.
You can also get omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources, such as :
- canola oil
- soybean oil
- walnuts
- ground flaxseed (linseed) and flax seed oil
