LITTLE TIPS FOR HEALTHY

               NUTRITION
1. Avoid foods with high concentration of sugar (cakes, ice cream, honey...)

 2. Prefer foods rich to nutritious ingredients but without sugar (milk, yoghurt, rice, meat, fish, fruits....)

 3. Don't consider sweet only the foods with sweet taste. Check the concentration of sugar.

 4. Don't forget that many refreshments have a high concentration of sugar.

  5. You may consume sweets only at the main meals. Don't eat sweets between meals. (During meals the saliva production is increased neutralizing most of the acids. That's why a sweet during meal is less hazardous than one taken between the meals).

  6. It is better to finish your meal with yellow cheese that helps neutralizing the acids in our mouth, especially after the consumption of sweet foods.

  7. The foods structure is also important
 - wet foods act for only a limited amount of time
 - tough foods are the safest because they increase the saliva production and help to the self-cleaning of teeth
 - soft and sticky foods are dangerous because they attach and get between the teeth providing a better environment for the bacteria.
