Foods that have high fat content like steak or have been prepared through methods that make them store a lot of fats like deep-frying should be avoided or taken in small portions. Calories are good for energy production but the excess calories that won’t be digested will be stored as fat in body vessels like the heart.

Taken a lot of light meals but evenly spread throughout the day so that everything that you take in is digested and utilized by the body giving you enough body fuels, making you feel alert, increase your concentration and maintaining your body weight.
