Healthy diets from various perspectives -- A doctor

I want to introduce another perspective. He is a doctor and he teaches some classes related to medicine at university. I’m taking his class, so I summarize his opinion from the medical point of view.

Recently, we get too much information about diet through the Internet, TV program, and so on. I think some of them believe all of them, so I’m very sorry that many of the information introduced on them are wrong. For example, diets which keep eating one type of food every day are dangerous because it is nutritionally unbalanced and keeping your health good becomes difficult. I declare that there is no food that makes your weight lose if you keep eating one food. The best way to stay healthy is eating various kinds of food.

I think media sometimes give us information about diet in order to earn money by advertising particular food or products.

Real meaning of the word “diet” is to be healthy, not to lose weight. If someone whose weight is too light tries to gain weight, it is also “diet”. I really want to tell you that if you are thin and overweight, you are more likely to contract a disease. And, according to some researches, the possibility that thin people like fashion models contact a disease is much higher than people whose weight is standard. So, please think about what is the most important thing to you. If you want to be healthy and to live longer, don’t be particular to lose weight.
