Dr. Carlos:
This is a complete guide to most healthy foods that are essential for those who want to improve their diet and live healthier lives. Eating healthy can be challenging, especially when there is so much information out there. That's why it's crucial to understand your diet and enjoy it. A healthy diet doesn't have to be soft or restrictive. Instead, it should be satisfying and delicious.

Unfortunately, we often don't know how to choose our diet. With so many fad diets and conflicting information, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. The truth is that the food industry knows about this confusion and often takes advantage of it to promote its products. That's why it's important to have a guide that provides evidence-based information about what healthy eating looks like.

In this guide, we are going to discuss the importance of proteins. Proteins are essential for our body to function correctly. They help build and repair tissues, create enzymes and hormones, and transport molecules throughout our bodies. Without enough protein, we may experience fatigue, weakness, and a weakened immune system.

So, how much protein do we need? The amount of protein we require depends on factors such as age, weight, and activity level. Generally, adults need at least 1-1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. However, athletes and those who are more active may need more.

When it comes to fats, it's essential to understand that not all fats are created equal. The best fats for our body are unsaturated fats, which can be found in foods like nuts, seeds, and avocados.

But what is the truth about saturated fats? Contrary to what we've been told, recent studies suggest that saturated fats may not be as harmful as we once thought. However, we should stay moderate with our saturated fat intake. Moderation is key.

So, how much fat do we need? Like protein, the amount of fat we require depends on various factors. However, a good rule of thumb is to aim for about 20-35% of our daily requirements from fat.

Starches are another important component of our diet. Starches provide our bodies with energy and can be found in foods like potatoes, rice, and pasta. However, it's essential to choose complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates like sugar, as they provide a slower release of energy and can help us feel full for longer.

Fiber is also crucial for our diet. Fiber helps regulate our digestive system and can help lower our cholesterol levels. It can be found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Aim for at least 25 grams of fiber per day.

Finally, it's crucial to understand the role of micronutrients in our diet. Micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, are essential for our body to function correctly. They help support our immune system, maintain healthy bones, and produce energy. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help ensure we're getting all the micronutrients we need.

Dr. Carlos Jaramillo publishes these videos for educational purposes but they do not represent any therapeutic recommendation for any person so the follow-up of their indications is the individual responsibility and not the responsibility of the creator of the content.

Always remember that in Functional Medicine the origin of the disease is sought and the symptoms are not treated.
