In hot weather, it is important to follow the principles of proper nutrition and control your diet so that the body can more easily cope with the load.
Summer heat is a real test for the human body, when the habitual diet of a person changes. Many at this time notice a decrease in appetite during the day and overeating in the late afternoon. In the heat, after eating high-calorie multi-component food, there is no feeling of a surge of strength and vigor, you want to lie down, and this can lead to an overload of the digestive tract and excessive weight gain. This is one of the reasons why it is recommended to eat simpler food in small portions in the heat.— quotes the press service of the associate professor of the department of propaedeutics of pediatrics of the Medical Academy named after S. I. Georgievsky Alla Yuryeva.
According to her, in summer, food intake should be divided into several stages: the diet can include three main meals and two snacks, which will be half as large as the main ones. Separate power supplies are welcome. For example, it is better to use the usual side dishes with protein dishes separately, and combine protein dishes with seasonal vegetable salads.
The bottom line is to balance your diet and maintain good health and wellness. At high temperatures, metabolism slows down and digestion worsens, so in the heat it is better to give up indigestible fatty and fried foods, red meat. Seasonal fruits and berries are recommended to be eaten as a snack, and not as a main course. The diet should also contain light protein: cottage cheese, eggs, white poultry meat, kefir. It must be remembered that it is advisable to consume dairy products before dinner. In the heat, it is recommended to shift the main meals. It is advisable to start breakfast at 07:00, and lunch at 11:00. Dinner is also better to start early, and a few hours before bedtime, you can add an evening light snack.says the nutritionist.
The most high-calorie, according to the expert, should be breakfast: it gives energy for the whole day. An ideal breakfast can be called cereal cereals, in which you can add berries, honey, dried fruits, fruits, nuts.
In order not to overload the body during the day, summer cold soups and vegetable dishes can be recommended. In the summer diet, an ideal side dish for protein foods is a salad of fresh vegetables and herbs, — emphasizes Alla Yuryeva.
As the expert notes, it is equally important to observe the drinking regimen in the heat. Pure non-carbonated water should be drunk throughout the day in small portions, if desired. However, do not interfere with the processes of digestion: the liquid should be discarded half an hour before meals, and it is better to resume fractional drinking no earlier than an hour after eating.
