3. Healthy diet means :
eat the simplest, and as
diverse as possible,
do not mix foodstuffs with
different structure,
eat moderate amount of
food,
do not eat too fast and
voraciously ,
take care that the food is
not too spicy.
4. It`s important to have some physical exercise every
day for at least 20 minutes a day(gimnastics, running,
riding a bicycle, yoga, mountain climbing, fast
walking…) and to spend as much time as possible
outside, on the fresh air, actively relaxing.
Every organism is different, and
demands different nutrition .
It`s important to eat orderly, have
meals at the same time every day, and
not just take food all day long, without
thinking.
6. We should take water between the meals,
or if necessary after the meal, and never
before or during the meal. This is important
because the water weakens our stomach
acid, and the food is not digested properly.
The importance of water
Insufficient consummation of water
gradually changes the physiology of
the organism and leads to chronical
degenerative changes of the tissue
and organs.
To avoid these troubles we need
to train ourselves to take 2l or 8
glasses of water a day, even if we
don`t feel thirst.

gradually reduce the amount of food, without changing
their proportion.
This pyramid is tree dimensional,
with stairs at one side emphasising
the importance of physical exercising
for the health.
Groceries are making triangles of
different width, presenting their
reccomanded proportion. Of course,
every change in diet should be made
gradually.
