2021-12-13 11:30:36 Vegetables = fruit?

Or is one more useful than the other?

What is good about fruit? Sweet, healthy, uplifting and a good snack.

But vegetables also have their advantages: they do not contain sugar, they are a universal side dish and can be eaten in much larger quantities. And the most important thing is that you can eat them in the evening.
But it is not recommended to eat fruit after 16:00.

As for me, all the same, the pluses have more vegetables.

So vegetables > fruits. Открыть/Комментировать

2021-12-12 19:44:27 Healthy Eating Pyramid

This is the name of one of the variants of proper nutrition. The foods at the bottom should be eaten as often as possible. The higher up, the less often.

In the picture you see a pyramid developed by Harvard University in the United States. Even though the pyramid is called a healthy eating pyramid, they still put exercise in first place.

In general, most nutritionists agree with what is depicted there. So you may well be guided by it when building your diet. Открыть/Комментировать

2021-12-11 09:22:14 Your best friend for losing weight

Tasty, good for digestion, and also perfect for consumption before bedtime.

Can you guess what I'm talking about?
Kefir, of course.

One of the main advantages of kefir is the absence of lactose.

In addition, fermented milk products are the most rich in beneficial microorganisms, which have a beneficial effect on our digestion.

And in conclusion, kefir is a great addition to the taste of many dishes and is a good dressing for most salads. Открыть/Комментировать

1) Spinach is high in vitamins A, C and K, iron and antioxidants, positive for bones, blood and heart health.

2) Green peas are a good source of fiber, which keeps intestinal function at a high level.

3) Red bell peppers contain a high dose of vitamin C. 6 times more than in a lemon!

2021-12-10 11:16:47 Advantages of mineral water

Mineral water is not chemically treated.

It contains a large amount of iodine, fluoride, iron and other beneficial substances.
Drinking mineral water on a regular basis can help prevent deficiencies.

Studies have shown that deep mineral water helps more effectively recover from workouts and increases muscle performance and endurance.

Does that mean we have to switch completely to mineral water? Of course not. For all its benefits the main part in the diet should occupy a simple still water. Открыть/Комментировать

2021-12-09 17:40:13 Today I want to talk about allergies

Many people think that food allergies are caused by intestinal problems.

In fact, the opposite is true. Allergies are the cause and intestinal problems are the consequence.

Does that mean they don't need to be treated? Of course not. But it's important to remember that as long as the allergen enters the body, all attempts to solve digestive problems are only temporary. Открыть/Комментировать

2021-12-09 11:49:53 Fruit is delicious and healthy

But eating them in the evening would be a big mistake.

Eating fruit in the evening puts a strain on the pancreas.

The best time for fruit is from 6:00 to 12:00.

Eat them before your main meal. They are digested in the intestine in 15-20 minutes. And with other food they will begin to ferment and lose some of their useful properties.
In addition, fermentation can cause bloating. Открыть/Комментировать
