AVOID POTATO CHIPS

By: | Tags:

We know that processed foods are bad for us, although they may be tasty. Many processed foods, like potato chips, have a high content of both saturated fat and carbohydrates. However, they also have little to no nutritional value that may be beneficial for us. Instead, they are packed with “empty calories,” meaning that they can build up our fat levels without providing us with much energy. If we consistently eat processed foods, this will gradually increase our risk of metabolic conditions, namely obesity or diabetes, and of other complex diseases, such as […]

FOOD-ALLERGY, HIPERSENSIBILITY OR INTOLERANCE

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Dairy isn’t easily categorized as healthy or unhealthy because its effects may vary greatly between individuals. If you tolerate dairy products and enjoy them, you should feel comfortable eating dairy.

EGGS AND CHOLESTEROL

By: | Tags:

Eggs do not have, in general, a good reputation on account of its richness in cholesterol. But we should not so fast denigrate this food that Mother Nature has endowed with many other nutritional qualities. It is true that a high level of cholesterol in blood increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. But it is important to know, first of all, that the essential (80%) of cholesterol is synthesised in the body by the liver. The remaining 20% are provided by food, namely, eggs and its by-products, other sources […]

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: People often compare their weight and shape with those around them, concerned about their weight being too high or too low, but a healthy weight is not the same for each individual.

FOOD ALLERGY OR INTOLERANCE

By: | Tags:

The Clínica do Tempo® Orthomolecular Check-Up comprises the […]
