Proper nutrition is based not only on vitamins and microelements, but also on the correct timing of meals.
Everyone knows about breakfast, lunch and dinner, but often people do not understand when to eat a banana: in the morning, at lunch or in the evening.
To understand the time frame of nutrition, it is necessary to consider the most common products, and then draw an analogy with any other vegetables and fruits.
Bananas
To avoid having to think for a long time about when to eat bananas, you can immediately consider their effect on the body.
Firstly, these fruits provide a large amount of energy and nutrients that need to be used up during the day.
Secondly, bananas contain substances that promote the production of sleep hormones.
Conclusion: you need to eat bananas after fitness or any other physical activity. In the next couple of hours, the metabolism will work hard, and the fruit will provide additional fuel.
Another time for a treat is right after an afternoon snack or early dinner. During the evening, you can spend calories on communication with family, cleaning, or a walk.
Potato
For potato lovers, the first half of the day is suitable. The fact is that the fruits are very high in calories and are at a high level on the glycemic table.
In order not to gain extra fat in beautiful places, it is worth giving up potatoes for dinner. In addition, the vegetable quickly melts in the stomach, and in half an hour you want to eat again.
Apples
The most popular fruits among those losing weight are apples. Many are on special diets based on eating juicy fruits.
However, apple juice contains too many acids, which help stimulate appetite, and in an empty stomach they can cause heartburn.
Therefore, it is best to eat an apple half an hour before lunch. This will help the gastric juice to secrete enzymes for quick digestion of food.
Tomatoes
In fact, tomatoes are very tricky vegetables, since they cannot be eaten in the evening and in the morning, although they are practically calorie-free and rich in vitamins.
But during breakfast they can cause increased acidity in the stomach environment, and after dinner, in a state of rest, active fermentation, flatulence, and gas formation begin.
The best time is lunch and afternoon snacks.
Nuts
It is useful to eat nuts both in the first and second half of the day, except for a late dinner.
A large amount of fatty acids and high calorie content lead to extra pounds.
It is worth considering that it is better to leave almonds for the afternoon, as they contain “sleepy” substances, just like bananas.
