Everyone has surely heard about proper nutrition, which has now gained more popularity than ever. However, healthy food is not only fashionable, but also useful. Such products help to lose weight, prevent the development of many diseases, allow you not to follow exhausting diets and remain beautiful. Many nutritionists, cosmetologists and doctors deal with healthy eating. They are developing more and more new recipes and diets, and we have collected for you the most interesting facts about proper nutrition and healthy sweets.
Interesting Facts About Healthy Eating You Didn’t Know
Sometimes it seems that everything is already known about healthy eating, but we are sure that we can surprise you. So, following are 6 interesting facts about proper nutrition:
- Saturation occurs only after 20 minutes of eating food. Scientists have proven that this is precisely the time period that is necessary for a person to satisfy his hunger. If you eat lunch in 5-10 minutes, psychological satiety will not come and in an hour you will be hungry again. In addition, eating very quickly, you can easily overeat, as the body does not have time to signal an “overload”.
- Everyone has heard that you shouldn’t eat after 6 pm. But few people know that this fact applies only to “larks” – people who go to bed early. Those who choose proper nutrition are not recommended to eat later than 3 hours before bedtime. That is, if you go to bed at 11 pm, a snack at 8 pm will not do you any harm.
- If you choose between freshly squeezed juice and fruit, you should give preference to the latter. Juices are great for a quick “recharge”, but the fiber you need to cleanse your body stays in the juicer.
- If you think that citrus fruits contain the largest amount of vitamin C, you are mistaken. There are many products in which ascorbic acid is present in the same or even greater quantities – for example, in blackcurrant, sea buckthorn, sweet pepper, white cabbage.
- Healthy food doesn’t have to be freshly prepared. Many dishes do not lose their properties after being stored in the refrigerator for a day. For example, meatballs or cabbage soup only get tastier and healthier.
- The most interesting fact about healthy eating is that such a diet does not mean giving up sweets. The main thing is to choose the “right” ingredients for sweet dishes. We will tell you further how to eat your favorite sweets and stay healthy.
Are proper nutrition and the “sweet” life compatible?
There is an opinion that starting to eat healthy, a person will have to completely give up sweets. But what about an inveterate sweet tooth? There is a way out! These are Green Leaf natural sweeteners. Our stevia and erythritol are 100% plant-derived, so they are healthy and can even help you lose weight.
