5 Simple rules for a healthy diet

 

Eating right is very easy.  It is enough to find an alternative to some products and change your eating habits a little.  This looks a lot easier than it looks.

Replace cow's milk cheese with goat's milk cheese

Firstly, it merely diversifies your menu and pleasantly changes the style of acquainted dishes for the higher.

Secondly, cheese made from cow's milk is a heavy product that is poorly absorbed by the body, while one made from goat's or sheep's milk is more readily accepted by our body.  Your stomach will thank you.

Swap Bread for Whole Grain Bread

No matter how tempting fresh bread made from refined white flour smells, do not fall for this provocation.  Remember that he is one of the main enemies of harmony and strength.  When shopping for bread, listen to its composition.

Ideally, white flour should not be at all or be at the end of the list of ingredients.  It’s even better to switch to bread at all ─ less calories and definitely healthier.

Swap milk and white chocolate for dark

For starters, it's just more useful.  Chocolate with more than 70% cocoa boosts brain function, improves mood and is rich in antioxidants.

Well, secondly, it is less caloric (of course, if you choose one that does not contain fruit or nut additives ─ and this is exactly what you should choose) and, as a rule, contains practically no additives like flavours or dyes.

Replace sauces with lemon and spices

A salad of green leaves and vegetables does not have to be seasoned with oil or high-calorie sauces, the right combination of spices, dried herbs and lemon juice can easily replace all this.

The main thing is to find your favourite combination.  For example: black pepper, basil, lemon and rosemary.

Make breakfast your main meal

At the beginning of the day, our digestive system is working at 100%, so it is quite easy for it to digest all the foods we eat.  

It usually takes six hours.

That is, if you have breakfast at 8 in the morning, then by two o'clock in the afternoon all the products will have already been digested and the digestive system will again be ready for intensive work.

However, at this time, its activity will already be reduced by 20%, and the process of digestion of food will increase to 8 hours, which means that the final assimilation of food will occur only by ten o'clock in the evening.

Starting from six to seven in the afternoon, the activity of the digestive system decreases by another 60% ─ fatigue from continuous work throughout the day affects, and digestion stretches for as much as 12 hours.

It turns out that the food received at dinner will be digested already during sleep.  As a result, the digestive system will not be able to fully rest, the next day you will feel unwell in the morning and general fatigue, and the food eaten will be deposited in fat.  No wonder the saying goes that you eat breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, and give dinner to the enemy.
