Diet under the "sight"
In the 20 th century, research was conducted on the proper intake of food and the effects of diets on the body. The results of the study suggest that you should not saturate the body as much as possible when you have breakfast. Breakfast should serve as an engine for your stomach to start functioning, in other words - you just need to encourage the body after sleeping.
Try to eat as tightly as possible at lunch, so tightly that you do not overeat and do not feel hungry. Just eat nutritious and healthy food in plenty - this is the best recommendation for those people who distribute by the minute that when and when it's time to eat.
When you have breakfast, the calorie content of food varies from about 30% to 35% of caloric value. Lunch should be more substantial - 40% -45% of calories. Eat 25% of the total daily calorie intake.
Soups - can they heal?
Nutritionists advise daily to eat soups to prevent the possibility of stomach ulcers. However, the relationship between gastric ulcer and insufficient nutrition of soups has not been proved, since statistics are very doubtful and each person has his own regimen and principle of nutrition, different "power" of the organism.
Vegetables and fruits
Eat vegetables or fruits, how much your soul desires - it is extremely useful, in these foods a lot of vitamins. And here's another point of view. A large number of "vitamins" that we get when eating fruits and vegetables, still do not compensate for the daily rate of man, vitamins simply need to be obtained from other edible sources.
Overeating with vegetables and fruits can lead to diarrhea, heartburn, bloating. If such uncomfortable "malfunctions" in the body begin to remind themselves - you have problems with the digestive process.
How to eat vegetables and fruits?
If you want to eat "from the heart" of fruits, vegetables, garden or greenhouse greens - eat before your stomach feels completely "hungry." Do not at all eat up such delicacies after eating, otherwise your actions will start the process of fermentation, and gastric juices will help it.
If you do not notice such "little things" - it threatens to bloat and other related signs of malnutrition.
Fats are enemies that give us strength
Observing some "fashionable" diet, we are often advised to completely eliminate fats from the diet, so that the body fights faster with excess weight and the body is cleaned.
You can not completely limit your diet and not consume fats, they are vital for the body to function well. If you overeat fat-containing foods - it's harmful, but if there is little, then you will not have depression and other accompanying negative moments.

Fatal word - sweets
Do not interrupt your appetite with sweet delicacies, because then you will eat little and will not receive the necessary substances for the body.
This is good when you do not overload your stomach with too much food, especially if you decide that your lifestyle is a diet. But do not exhaust yourself, eat in moderation. Today, the number of people who are overweight exceeds the number of people suffering from dystrophy.
Diet and drinks - harmony for health
Such drinks as tea, freshly squeezed juice or nectar, do not combine coffee with food and immediately after breakfast, lunch or dinner.
We brought to your attention the "golden rule of a diet", because most people do the opposite. Admission of such drinks in the diet leads to poor digestion of food, because the digestive tract food passes much faster, if combined with such auxiliary fluids.
Gastric juice is produced much more slowly, since liquids and so much has arrived, thanks to the habit of eating "over a cup of tea." Observing the elementary principle of separate consumption of food and liquids, you exclude the results of poor digestion of food.
Be healthy!
