Healthy lifestyle ... How much sense is there in this phrase? Is there a fine line that will help to distinguish between a person with a fanatically sharpened desire to always be young and healthy, and someone who simply does not want to hurt themselves while enjoying life? Of course, alcohol, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, an irrational schedule of the day and poor food will very quickly turn even a hero into a sick person, therefore, each of us should try to minimize negative factors. Healthy eating is one of the highest priority goals for everyone who strives for a full and long life. In today's article, we will try to disclose not the entire power system as a whole, but only one part of it. We will find out what the correct dinner is and whether it is possible to combine the points of view of nutritionists and lovers of a variety of delicious snacks together, to find the treasured golden line between healthy and tasty.
The key to health and longevity
For starters - a little topical reality. Few contemporaries can boast of a normalized working day, the ability to work until five in the evening and the absence of barriers on the way home, such as a supermarket, meeting friends, resolving personal issues and, of course, kilometers and exhausting traffic jams. Well, how can you cook and eat the right dinner in time, if the person’s only desire at the end of the day is lying on the couch and relaxing. Salad and steamed dishes, you say? No, we have not heard of this. Microwave-heated pizza and Chinese food from the delivery service - this is what we indulge in for the future dream.
As a result, we get fatty unbalanced food, overkill of calories, heaviness in the stomach, gastrointestinal problems, blood sugar and cholesterol. This whole bouquet results in symptoms quite typical for any city dweller: frequent headache, nausea, insomnia, stool problems, obesity and general unhealthy state of health. So what to do, what to eat for dinner with proper nutrition?
Good night
During the day, each person needs to perform many actions: someone goes to work, someone studies, and someone lounges at home. Some after the completion of the “mandatory program” can come to their cozy nest and calmly indulge in idleness, while others only dream about it in a sweet dream. Hobbies, children, household chores - how many people have classes for which they have to spend their priceless calories? That is why for each of us there is no single principle that would describe what a healthier food in general and the right dinner in particular.
To be alert and fresh in the morning, it is important to have a good night's sleep, and before that it’s normal to eat in the evening. Nutritionists, bloggers specializing in a healthy lifestyle, and just all those who ate a dog in this matter, argue that an evening meal should be required. It can consist of a variety of dishes, the main thing is that they are light, not very high-calorie and easily digestible. So, what to eat for dinner with proper nutrition?
fish, seafood or dietary meat;
vegetables, however, those species that contain a lot of carbohydrates should say “no” (potatoes, carrots, beets);
dairy products.
According to the norms, for a person who does not follow the strictest diet and is not a professional athlete, about 300 kcal should be consumed at dinner (250 for men and 350 for women). Two-thirds of what is on the plate are vegetables, not only those that have undergone heat treatment, but also fresh ones. The rest is protein in the form of poultry, rabbit, veal or fish. Mushrooms, as an alternative to animal proteins, are an acceptable option.
Dinner 18+
For those who still have strength after work, and the soul wishes a holiday and love, you need to think carefully about your proper dinner. There will always be a debate about a variety of products that increase sexual desire in men and women, but the ingredients that will decorate any recipe have been uniquely tested for centuries and by many passionate couples, there are no doubts.
The basis of a romantic dinner should be all the same protein, but to achieve the desired effect, it must be generously seasoned with exotic exotic herbs that excite hot feelings in partners. Fresh vegetables (for example, a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, celery), coupled with a variety of herbs (cilantro, parsley, parsnip or basil) and soft varieties of cheese - this is the most proper dinner. Recipes should be as simple as possible, it is better to cook food on the grill or bake in the oven. Having tasted such yummy, a man cannot fail to thank his beloved for a culinary masterpiece on a pleasant evening and night.
Eat with children
Children's dinner is slightly different from an adult. Kids spend much more energy during the day, they grow up, experiencing enormous loads in school, various circles and sections. This does not mean that they can be fed fast food, but mothers should try to make dinner nutritious and varied.
A delicious salad of fresh or boiled vegetables with meat, vegetable cutlets, casserole or pudding are excellent options for a tasty and healthy dinner for a little gourmet. Besides the fact that it is useful and meets the needs of the child's body, preparing such dishes is simple and quick.
Dinner: right or healthy?
The trend towards obesity and short life expectancy is something that doctors around the world have to deal with every day. Naturally, each specialist adheres to his own methods and methods of combating excess weight and improving the body of a person in need of a diet. Some of them go to extremes, and in pursuit of the quick result of their clients, they “break through” the already shaky metabolism, turning people into their eternal patients.
Specialized publications are full of diets and works of pseudoscientists, which guarantee rapid weight loss and normalization of digestion by strange and dubious methods. But you need to understand that the normal functioning of the body involves the use by a person of not only proteins or carbohydrates, but also fats, vitamins, minerals. It is possible to exclude any component from the diet, but only for a short period, because unicomponent diets or separate nutrition have nothing to do with the rational and diverse. The correct dinner for weight loss is not a bowl of empty buckwheat or a glass of low-fat kefir, but a normal dish with a balanced composition, which includes different groups of ingredients.
Castle mouth
Another myth that makes locking not so much your mouth as a refrigerator, and with it all the kitchen cabinets - this is a rule prohibiting food after six. Desperate losing weight interpret it so literally that some of them, from fifteen minutes to six in the evening, heartily eat fried potatoes and chicken baked in mayonnaise, and for dessert they can slam half of the Prague cake. The sad result is growing kilograms on the arrow of weights and expanding butt and waist.
Studies of recent years prove that you can eat a field of six, the main thing here is to start from the time when you go to bed. From the hour “H” you need to take 2-3 hours, and for the upcoming dream you can generally afford to drink a glass of kefir or yogurt with berries, sprouted cereals or delicious herbal tea with honey. This will be a great alternative to dessert or pastry, which is better to postpone until better times, that is, until the morning.
Tasty to eat
So, we are faced with a specific task: we eat right (dinner). The recipes that make up the menu for the week are outlined briefly, but they will give an understanding of the essence of the preparation and the right direction.
Classic vegetable stew. To prepare it, you need a completely budgetary and affordable at any time of the year list of products (potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions, zucchini, cauliflower, green peas). For seasoning sauce, low-fat sour cream, your favorite greens and spices, tomato sauce or juice are suitable. Cooking is simple to disgrace: peel washed vegetables, crumble into cubes or straws and simmer until cooked, it is better to add sour cream sauce and greens at the end, about 10 minutes before serving.
Spicy chicken fillet with rice. Culinary experts advise you to cook this dish in advance, or rather, cook the meat by pickling it in orange juice, curry and salt in the morning, and in the evening boil rice and fry the chicken over high heat. Just do not use too much vegetable oil - we do not need excess fat.
Fish. Here the scope for imagination is simply unlimited, this product can be baked in the oven (for this it is better to take varieties fatter) or cook cutlets from it that are served with boiled or baked potatoes. It is better to cook fishcakes from fillet, which is passed through a meat grinder, with bread and onions soaked in milk. In the mass you need to add pre-fried grated carrots, eggs, salt and pepper. Cutlets are fried over medium heat on both sides (approximately 5-7 minutes).
Futile efforts
No matter how much we try to rationalize dinner, a healthy diet involves a certain system, which includes not only the correct lunch and dinner, but also breakfast, as well as healthy snacks. Any harmful and synthetic goodies should be excluded from the diet, replacing them with dried fruits, nuts, cereal bars. The largest number of calories, fats and carbohydrates eaten during the day should be added to breakfast, so they will give strength for productive work and will not be deposited in the form of fat reserves on the tummy, hips and waist.
