Latin food pyramid

Try something positiveThis diet can be an interesting variation of our present culinary adventure. The basis for this pyramid is vegetables and fruit, wholemeal breads and pasta. At this level of the pyramid there are foods from both Americas, e.g. corn, cocoa, tomatoes, chilli peppers, potatoes; as well as foods brought to America by the colonizers: olives, soy, aubergines, courgettes, oranges or kiwi fruit. The Latin diet can not only influence our health, but it will also improve our moods, since it is so full of energetic exoticism.

Be activeThe most important element of the diet is to be active. You have to live ready for a change in your lifestyle, paying more attention to exercise. Without doing sports: running or at least dancing, the Latin diet makes no sense.

Exotic plateMain elements of the diet should be found in every single meal. Most important in the Latin diet are the fruit and vegetables mentioned above. They are its foundation. Pasta, nuts and wholemeal breads are also recommended. These ingredients should be present in every meal. You can have poultry, rice or milk products once a day. You should limit sweets, eggs and meat to only once a week.




A couple of tipsThe diet restricts the drinking of alcohol in large quantities, but it stresses drinking a lot of water. Regular fruit snacks are a vital element of the diet. Treat yourself a couple of times a day to papaya, pineapple, guava or mango.
