A sensible diet, which provides calories at certain intervals of time and type of food according to the needs of the body compared to the typical activity in a particular part of the day, ensures the consumption of calories and avoiding their storage in unpleasant areas.
The desire to get in shape usually appears in the spring, when due to weather conditions we change our wardrobe with lighter clothes. The appearance of the exposed parts of the body provokes us to think about how we could gain the beauty of our country.
Unfortunately, the attractive silhouette could not be maintained with an incidental memory for weight loss. Usually then we make the most serious mistake about the body and put it under stress, leaving it to a limited amount of food, without guarantees that what we eat will at least be useful.
We are exhausted and our body "thanks" after stopping the regime with a quick return of weight and adding even more.
A good figure is actually the result of a high culture of eating first and then lifestyle. A sensible diet, which provides calories at certain intervals and type of food according to the needs of the body compared to the typical activity in a particular part of the day, ensures the consumption of calories and avoiding their storage in unpleasant fat deposits. At the same time, we feel toned and ready to enjoy life.
This means that our schedule must include 3 to 6 meals a day, and the first of them must be breakfast.
It has already been scientifically proven that about 25% of the daily energy intake should come from breakfast.
"Our biological clock requires food intake in the morning, which will meet the digestive juices on an empty stomach and will bring energy to drive all metabolic processes to begin active activities during the day . ”, "This will correspond to the hormonal activity and the set proper regulation of all organs and systems. The state of hunger and skipping breakfast immediately causes a breakdown of physiological circuits and provokes unwanted metabolic processes to deliver energy in unfavorable ways and release glucose from the breakdown of internal structures.
In addition to not being missed, it is extremely important what foods we choose for our first meal of the day. One of the most useful products are whole grains. What makes them extremely valuable is the rich content of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants.
More than half of the calories a person consumes daily should come from 55 to 60% of carbohydrates., and it is recommended that they be mainly from whole grains. Thus, all the valuable ingredients of the grain, such as germs and husks, are preserved. Wholemeal flour contains a lot of fiber, B vitamins and many mineral salts.
In addition to giving us energy, cereals have a number of other health benefits.
Fiber , which is the main component of cereals, has an extremely beneficial effect on health. They help eliminate toxins from the body, reduce bad and total cholesterol , therefore reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and blood sugar levels. They also have a beneficial effect on the prevention of colon cancer and obesity.
In addition to these advantages, as part of a balanced breakfast, whole grains charge the body with energy and saturate us for about 2-3 hours . This, in turn, protects us from eating "bad" carbohydrates in the meantime - pastries and pasta, with which we have a habit of deceiving our hunger until the time of the main meal.
Of course, in order for our breakfast to be balanced and to provide the optimal amount of energy, it must also include fruit and dairy products .
A balanced breakfast should provide about a third of the recommended daily allowance of whole grains.
In addition to all the benefits of breakfast, we can add that when we do not miss it, it reduces the risk of peptic ulcer, gastritis, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
