Breakfast is the first morning meal for many people. Therefore, the best thing to do is to use healthy food that will give us the strength to stay active for a long time and spend the day productively and enjoying it.
When it gets cold outside, our body experiences stress, an additional load falls on it. Why is it so? There are many reasons.
- When winter comes, we don’t get enough sunlight.
- The body has to expend additional energy to maintain heat.
- We lack vitamins.
- Perhaps we spend less time playing sports and maintaining the necessary physical shape.
Therefore, in winter it is especially important to eat right. For example, for those involved in winter sports, a special diet is suitable: lovers of activities are recommended to replace fatty foods with protein, consume more water, fresh fruits and vegetables, natural yoghurts, egg dishes, oatmeal.
