The primary factor for leading a long and healthy life is, of course, proper nutrition. Especially in recent years, the topic of diet and healthy living, which has started to attract everyone’s attention, can often be complex and challenging if you are not following the right path. Keeping you away from this complexity, Hunza Nutrition Specialist Türkan Dayıoğlu explained one by one how healthy eating and the longevity lifestyle can be made sustainable, balanced, and personalized. Here are the most frequently asked questions and answers about healthy eating…
“THE FUNDAMENTAL SECRET OF SUSTAINABLE DIET IS THAT IT SUITS THE LIFESTYLE”
What are the secrets of a sustainable diet? “The fundamental secret of a sustainable diet is that it suits the person’s lifestyle and can be maintained in the long term. Instead of restrictive diets that offer quick results, enjoyable, balanced, and habitual eating regimens should be preferred. High-fiber foods, water consumption, adequate protein, and regular exercise are indispensable parts of this process.”
“A DIET EFFECTIVE FOR ONE PERSON MAY BE USELESS OR EVEN HARMFUL FOR ANOTHER”
Is every diet suitable for every metabolism? “No. The genetic makeup, lifestyle, health history, and metabolic rate of every individual are different. Therefore, a diet that is effective for one person may be useless or even harmful for another. Creating a personalized nutrition program is very important for supporting metabolism while protecting health.”
“DIET IS NOT RESTRICTION; IT IS BALANCED AND PROPER NUTRITION”
Does ‘diet’ mean going hungry? “Absolutely not. The word ‘diet’ is often misunderstood. Diet means balanced and proper nutrition, not restriction. The goal is not to go hungry, but to supply the body with the nutrients it needs and to avoid unnecessary calories. In our approach at Hunza, satiety and enjoyment are prioritized, not hunger.”
HERE ARE THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES IN DIETS
What are the most common mistakes made in diets? “The most common mistakes include skipping meals, eating only one type of food, severely restricting intake to achieve rapid weight loss, and following miraculous diets found on the internet. Furthermore, not drinking enough water and neglecting physical activity also negatively affect the process. Although these mistakes may cause short-term weight loss, in the long term, they slow down the metabolism and can lead to health problems.”
