Breakfast is the most important part of the daily diet, especially for those who want to lose weight. If you miss it, you will get hungry long before lunch and start snacking on everything. A study conducted in 2003 by the American National Cardio Association shows that those who eat breakfast are obese to a much lesser extent than those who do not eat it.

2022-04-13 23:55:09 Foods that are better not to eat at night

Pasta. Pasta (even from durum wheat) eaten before going to bed will interfere with the recovery of the body at night, so "as a gift" for dinner you will get dark circles under your eyes and fatigue in the morning.

Cheese. Cheeses contain quite heavy fats for digestion and can cause an inflammatory reaction in the stomach.

Cauliflower. Vegetables from the cruciferous (cabbage) family make digestion difficult, so this is not the best choice before going to bed.

Dark chocolate. It is rich in antioxidants and substances that positively affect the brain, give energy and strength. But in the evening, such a dessert can unnecessarily stimulate the nervous system and interrupt sleep, so it's better to give it up.

Even for a person with a normal weight, this bulk product is harmful. If you are puzzled by the struggle with extra pounds, then exclude from your diet foods with a high sugar content, including tea, coffee. Packaged fruit juices are also not for you.

2022-04-13 13:24:26 What to add to the water to make it healthier

Water: the basis of any recipe; preferably mineral (as an option — coconut). You can add a few tablespoons of rose water to taste or aloe vera juice to clean the digestive system.

Fruits: most often we choose the classic — lemon. Before adding slices to a drink or squeezing a few drops of juice into a glass, leave the citrus to "warm up" to room temperature.

Herbs: mint, ginger, rosemary... Several twigs of these or other plants during cooking give not only a delicate spicy taste, but also help to improve health.

Wash the fruits, cut them into medium-thick pieces and put them together with the herbs in a glass jug or jar (preferably with an airtight lid), adding water. Close and let stand for 2 to 12 hours in the refrigerator. And then strain.
