Additionally, it can be accompanied by fresh ingredients such as avocado, cucumber, or seaweed. It could be said that it is a kind of sushi, but with a simpler preparation and served in a bowl.

What is Real Food?
It is a new healthy food trend that is booming, especially on social media. Every day more people join this type of healthy eating to lead a much healthier life, as they begin to become aware of what they truly eat.
Real food is based on a diet where ultra-processed foods are not allowed, that is, those that are already prepared and contain additives that are not good for health. These foods fill supermarket shelves and are the basis of ready meals and fast food.
Among some of the additives excessively included in ultra-processed foods are sugar, salt, and fats. These elements are the cause of many diseases and cause numerous premature deaths each year. Unfortunately, this type of product is more present in our diets than we think; it is estimated that up to 70 percent of the foods consumed by Spaniards are not healthy.

When you go to the supermarket, you should pay attention and learn to read the labels of all foods, avoiding those that contain sugar when they shouldn’t or ingredients you don’t recognize. You’ll be surprised to see how much of these substances you consume daily without realizing it.
All of this combined with a good session of physical exercise can help you improve your health considerably. Sign up for a healthy life!
