New Year's fireworks have died down, the last salads have been finished, and now we are already looking with bitterness at the growing figure on the scales and the increase in volume after the holidays. Unfortunately, many of us cannot stop after New Year's Eve and continue to consume everything that can be found in the refrigerator.
The principles of proper nutrition in winter
First, let's talk about what principles you need to eat in order to keep yourself in good physical shape:
- drink up to 2 liters of water per day;
- start the day with Sassi water (pour lemon, ginger and cucumber with water overnight);
- eat more protein (up to 2 grams per 1 kg of body weight);
- limit your carbohydrate intake;
- eat more vegetables and fruits.
Especially in winter, you should pay attention to a sufficient amount of protein in the diet. The point is not only that protein is a source of calories and a building material, but also that the amino acids that our body receives by breaking down proteins are essential components for the formation of interferons - proteins that help to cope with viruses.
You also need to clarify about vegetables - potatoes should not be on your list. It can be difficult to accept, but a table is entirely possible without this product. But, on the other hand, this does not mean that you need to completely abandon our national vegetable. For guests and households, you can still cook potato dishes, and sometimes pamper yourself, but not every day and in very limited quantities.
Be sure to include greens in the diet - you can buy, you can grow. But take it as a rule - eat a salad of fresh vegetables with herbs every day. Greens are fiber and vitamins with minerals, and a fairly exclusive set. Greens can be added to soups and side dishes - this will add piquancy and a unique aroma.
