At the same time, there are different approaches to healthy eating, and the most universal is the Mediterranean diet.
“Schematically, this diet is usually depicted as a circle divided into parts, like a pie or pizza. The diet includes vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy products, meat and fish in equal shares,” the specialist explained.
The meaning of such a diet is good nutrition and a balanced menu. It is important that the breaks between meals do not exceed four hours.
It is necessary to eat often, but in small portions, so that there is no stagnation of gastric juice and bile. Diet is not starvation. You need an accurate calculation of calories, the right diet, clear intervals between meals. This is the basis of a healthy diet, which helps to reduce excess weight.
Little but often:
“Long breaks cause serious harm to the gastrointestinal tract. When the food bolus from the stomach enters the duodenum, bile is released. This ensures the fermentation of food and the removal of toxins. If there is no food bolus, then there will be stagnation of bile and, as a result, intoxication of the body,” Prokofiev explained.
During forced fasting, many digestive enzymes are formed. When the long-awaited lunch or dinner comes, a person begins to extinguish the feeling of hunger by eating more food than necessary. The accumulated enzymes quickly break down food. As a result, you can eat twice as much as you would with shorter breaks.
The fashion trend, which involves a second breakfast and tea breaks during the day, has a clinical rationale, because it reduces the intervals between meals.
The doctor stressed that the fight against excess weight is impossible without giving up alcohol. Classical medicine does not support the use of alcohol because it causes toxic harm and negatively affects the central nervous system. In addition, alcohol is a very high-calorie product.
hands to feet:
Diets will not give the desired result if they are not combined with physical activity. In an era when many people sit in offices for a long time and move around in cars, physical inactivity prevents them from gaining the desired shape.
“Physical activity helps in destroying adipose tissue a lot. Therefore, it is important to make a good habit – to walk for at least 30 minutes a day,” the doctor advised.
Walking is an aerobic exercise, in which, unlike training in a fitness club, oxygen is actively involved in muscle work. Walkers also improve the cardiovascular system, increase life expectancy and effectively reduce weight.
Therefore, the doctor advises finding time for physical activity by rearranging the daily routine. The habit of spending half an hour a day walking is necessary for the muscles to work and the adipose tissue to “leave”.
