Food in the summer season raises many more questions than at any other time of the year. Despite the abundance of vegetables and fruits, not everyone understands how important it is to observe the measure in their use and eat other foods.
Instructions
Step 1
Eat fresh vegetables and fruits in moderation. The joy of ripe tomatoes, salads, strawberries and other gifts in which a lot of work has been invested can lead to a very common desire to eat only them in the summer. But this mistake can lead to a deterioration in well-being and serious disruptions in the functioning of the body. Vegetables and fruits do not contain the full range of nutrients that are necessary for normal functioning. Therefore, the summer menu cannot consist only of them.
Step 2
Eat porridge. They will become the basis for maintaining the ideal balance of the diet. Cereals contain fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and various enzymes. Eating cereals for breakfast will give you a feeling of fullness until lunchtime, so you don't have to fear for your figure because of unnecessary snacks.
Step 3
Don't forget about meat and fish. Failure to use them will lead to malnutrition, and there is no need to talk about balance. Chicken, meat or fish are great additions to fresh vegetable salads. It is important to reduce the size of the serving. In summer, it should be one third less than usual.
Step 4
Drink plenty of fluids. The loss of fluid in the body in the summer is quite significant, and it is necessary to restore the water balance especially carefully. Drink plain clean water. Don't fight your thirst for sugary sodas and similar liquids. You can drink green tea, kvass, fruit drinks and homemade lemonades.
Step 5
Make cold soups. They are not only tasty, but also healthy, because without long cooking and constant heating, they retain a huge amount of nutrients.
Step 6
Eliminate salty and spicy foods. It is these foods that retain fluid in the body, cause thirst and lead to edema. Therefore, you should bypass them, strive to use less spices and salt in the dishes that you cook.
