These tips will help you not only improve your metabolism, but also get rid of excess weight.
Metabolism or metabolism Is nothing more than a set of chemical reactions that take place in the body to maintain its life.
If we go a little deeper, then the process is divided into two cycles – the process of disintegration of the substance that gets inside into simple ones, and then the synthesis of more complex, vital substances from the previously formed simple ingredients.
It’s not for nothing that I pay attention to the essence and sequence of the process. As my experience shows, when a person understands what is happening, the focus of attention shifts to a more correct channel, the process becomes clear, and the question “Why do I need this?”
It is logical to assume that metabolism is influenced by composition and quality of substances entering the body… And here it is important to understand that in the framework of modern life, especially when we are faced with a large number of tasks – work, children, meeting friends, the desire to spend time both for our own pleasure and for health, it often happens that our food becomes knocked down. Snacks often fall out, or even “no time to eat”. Here I will slow you down a little and give an example that very clearly expresses the essence of the question.
Suppose you are traveling by car, driving on a highway, and you see that the arrow on the gas tank is close to the empty line. Do you really say – “I don’t have time to stop by the gas station” or “If I pour orange juice into a tank, it will do.” Sounds absurd, right? So why is your body – your only car, which was issued once and cannot be returned to trade-in, worse? Nothing, right! Therefore, it must be treated with care, with trepidation and love, giving the best ingredients for its well-coordinated work for many years.
Now we are determined with the starting point. It takes patience and a little perseverance. To understand what is happening, you need to keep a food diary for several days in a row (4-5). For example, you do this from Monday to Friday, when the rhythm of life is familiar and you are doing something that takes up the lion’s share of your time. Write down directly: what you ate in what interval and how it felt to you.
If you eat outside the home, the number of grams in a portion is written everywhere – you rewrite the information, since it will be necessary to decipher the data received. This is followed by the stage of analyzing the collected information. It’s better to do this with enough time, so I suggest using Saturday or Sunday. For the analysis, you need to conditionally break down all your “components” of the diet into proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Here is to help you hint:
Carbohydrates: various cereals and bakery products, sweet Proteins: meat, poultry, fish, seafood, dairy and sour milk products, cheeses.
Fats: nuts, various seeds (sesame, hemp, sunflower, pumpkin, etc.), avocados, various vegetable and animal oils, including those on which food is cooked, fatty fish and meat, as well as cheeses and dairy products of sufficient fat content … The list can be continued for a long time, but our task is to understand the base and align it, and when this point “B” is reached, then we can move on. Disassembled. Understood where what.
Now let’s go directly to the analysis. A small remark – the basic conditions for normal metabolism are balanced nutrition, not correct (PP), namely balanced, because now the abbreviation PP is fashionable, but rationality is still at the forefront. A balanced diet is when all the necessary nutrients are in balance and you are consuming enough of each nutrient, without strong distortions in any direction.
To make the task easier, let’s give an example of nutrients in the balance for a girl weighing 60 kg.
On the day you need to eat:
Proteins – 100-150 grams of 5-9% cottage cheese, 100-150 grams of fish / meat / poultry and 1-2 eggs.
Fats – 5 grams of butter (just butter!), 30-50 grams of any nuts, ½ an avocado.
Carbohydrates – 50-60 grams of any cereal, 50-60 grams of any “good” bread or loaves, 30-50 grams of dried fruits.
This list is not a dogma, you can play with your favorite products, but the picture itself is approximate in order to understand the essence of what is happening.
Now the task is to transfer all this to your own life. You look where you have a gap and where you have excess. For example, you understand that there are too many carbohydrate foods (bread, cereals, potatoes) and not enough fat. So, instead of a couple of breads, add a handful of nuts. If there is not enough protein, instead of a couple of loaves, add a jar of soft cottage cheese without additives of 5-9% fat, for a change you can add ½ teaspoon of honey and a few raisins and a very healthy dessert with benefits for metabolism will come out.
It is very important to build a diet from familiar foods, gradually and smoothly changing the vector, also do not forget that sufficient sleep, vitamins and movement are important companions on the path to success. Try to be active every day, and your body at 20 and 60 will delight you with its state!
