Nutrition rules >>>> A snack is healthy

A snack is healthy.

A healthy diet does not require restricting food, but its correct distribution throughout the day, so as not to starve and not overload the body with calories. There are various food schemes: three meals a day, four meals a day, fractional, and so on, but each of these schemes does not cancel intermediate meals in the form of a light snack.

What is good for a snack?

  • First, with long intervals between meals, a snack allows you to fill the stomach with food and prevent gastric juice from injuring the gastrointestinal mucosa. Many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, ulcers, etc.) develop due to long breaks between meals.
  • Secondly, snacks contribute to the dosed intake of necessary calories as they are expended and do not overload the stomach.
  • Thirdly, snacks relieve stress during the period of adherence to a diet that requires some effort of will.
  • Fourthly, snacks help prevent sudden drops in blood glucose levels, which is very important for diabetics, for hypotensive patients, for people suffering from pressure drops.

The whole trouble with snacks is that people usually snack on unhealthy foods: sweet cookies, cakes, sweets, crackers, buns, chips, sandwiches with sausage, bacon, ham, etc. Such snacks in terms of the number of calories consumed can exceed the size of a good lunch. , and the task of a snack is to deceive hunger and give the body a minimum of calories, but a maximum of positive emotions.

A healthy snack should consist of light ingredients: fermented milk products (cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, yogurt), biscuits, fruits and a drink (tea, coffee, juice, or just a glass of water). If you prepare food for a snack at home in advance, you can boil a piece of lean meat or tongue (seafood - mussels), make a sandwich with bran bread or biscuits, add green leaves. As one of the options for a snack, you can use a combination: pieces of hard cheese with fruit.

There are two basic rules for snacking: do not have a snack on the go and do not have a snack while talking, such snacks disrupt the digestion process and do not allow you to fully enjoy the pleasant sensations of eating.
