This book aims to be an instrument for all those who, sensitized, wish to adopt a healthy diet adapted to the characteristics of modern life, logically rational and healthy, but also - and no less important - pleasant, tasty, economical and respectful of traditions. Its content aims to be simple, correct and scientifically up-to-date. After introducing the reader to a perhaps arid subject, that of nutrients, it advances to the definition of nutritional balance and to the nutritional knowledge of foods, their quality and their balanced combinations. It then goes through various ways of eating (food patterns) and their repercussions on health. It identifies the most harmful food errors for the Portuguese and proposes the general plan of a healthy diet and a simple, gastronomic and healthy cuisine. It then advances to the specific nutritional requirements of some ages, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and athletes. It ends with some guidelines for those who are overweight or have high cholesterol, two paradigmatic situations, a frequent result of accumulated errors as a result of a harmful lifestyle. However, let it be clear from the outset that food care is not only of interest to those who are overweight or who suffer from changes in blood fats. It is of interest to everyone. Knowing how to eat promotes well-being.
