The United Nations (UN) has released a report on Food and Agriculture (FAO) saying that the obese world population has outnumbered the starving population. This was stated according to the researched data.

This fact is linked to the flourishing of fast food chains, urbanization and new eating habits with low nutritional value, however, high value harmful to health.

With the advent of globalization, this situation has intensified globally, that is, developed and developing countries have a high rate of obesity in their population. Therefore, it is necessary to resume and create new healthy habits so that the world population has quality of life, health and can produce in order to aggregate in society.

The need for weight control is urgent, because over time, it becomes harmful to health and can cause diseases such as tachycardia, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, thrombosis and many others. Moreover, it harms not only the individual but the whole of society, as it affects them in a socioeconomic, cultural and biological way. Thus, mass obesity has brought with it several misleading strands of how to lose weight.

Miraculously called diet, but without scientific proof, is one of those fastest ways to achieve weight loss. However, losing weight should be done with nutritional and progressive medical monitoring, that is, the body needs several factors, including time, for this loss to be healthy.

Another very popular misconception is the ingestion of some foods. Social networks, social groups and common sense dissipate popular knowledge without any scientific basis, often when talking about healthy eating.

Therefore, it is necessary to propagate which foods are in fact healthy.

Ideally, invest in food that speeds up metabolism, thus helping in fat burning and energy production. When the goal is to lose weight, one has to go after natural foods. Also, avoid fried foods, sweets, sugars, processed and sausages.

The first is tapioca. She is a great ally in the weight loss process, since it arouses a feeling of satiety in the person who eats. It is also a great source of energy.

The delicious coffee with cocoa besides satiety, accelerates the metabolism. However, it should be used without sugar and additions.White rice can be replaced by brown rice, which in addition to providing energy, is a source of necessary minerals, especially fiber.

Oatmeal is also a great fiber rich carbohydrate. In addition, olive oil, representative of good fats, is an oil that lowers the level of triglycerides.

Finally, leaves, green, black, hibiscus teas, seeds such as flax and chia, fruits with low fructose and also legumes are part of these foods that aid in weight loss.
