11.03.2024 01:20
It has long been no secret that the rate of metabolism in any organism directly depends on how actively our enzymes behave.
Throughout the day, their activity may increase or decrease.
Therefore, those who dream of losing weight or improving their health should adjust their diet so that the consumption of one or another type of food coincides with the peak activity of the enzymes that will break them down.
It is in this case that the “problem” kilograms will begin to “melt away”.
Breakfast is fatty and filling
In the morning, in the very first hours after waking up, the human body is set to produce enzymes that help the body process and absorb fat.
This means that at this time, you can and should include foods rich in fats in your diet. This could be oil, vegetable or butter, cheese, eggs.
Lunch – Enjoy protein food
Enzymes that help digest proteins are produced precisely at midday.
Therefore, lunch is the ideal time for meat to enter the body, but it should be combined with greens, salads or just vegetables. In order for meat to bring as much benefit as possible, it is necessary to pay attention to lean varieties - chicken or turkey meat.
Following the example of mountain dwellers, who are known for their longevity and love of shashlik and grape wine, you can complement your meal with a glass of red wine.
The only condition when consuming protein foods is to include a large amount of greens in the diet.
Afternoon snack – enjoy something sweet
Insulin begins to be actively secreted in the second half of the day. It is responsible for the absorption of sugar.
It should be mentioned here that the meal at this time is not a full meal, but a small snack, which is necessary so that the body does not feel hungry.
It is during the day that you can eat sweets, with an emphasis on eating fruits rich in minerals, vitamins and, of course, containing sugar.
Those who love dried fruits can eat them along with fruits.
They are distinguished by their amazing ability to satisfy the body's need for sweets, as well as saturate it for a long time.
A piece of chocolate, marshmallows, nougat or pastila would be appropriate on the table. You should not overdo it on sweet cakes, buns and other pastries.
This will affect your figure, and if you absolutely cannot live without flour, then it can be usefully replaced by dried bread or baked goods without yeast.
Dinner is light and healthy
The minimum secretion of enzymes is observed towards the end of the day. Therefore, in order to avoid extra kilos and to make the existing ones disappear, you should organize a light dinner for yourself.
The food taken in the afternoon should have satisfied the feeling of hunger, and by the evening it will not be so acute. If there is no appetite, you can skip dinner without harm to your health. For example, without the fear of getting gastritis or an ulcer.
For dinner, you can drink a glass of kefir or yogurt, combining it with half an apple.
If you still feel very hungry, baked fish with vegetables will be an ideal dish that can satisfy the body.
The only condition is that you should eat such a dish before 19:00. As well as limit the intake of any liquid, otherwise you cannot avoid swelling in the morning.
