the rice cakes or puffed wheat are famous for their enormous power satisfying and only provide 26 calories per unit. We recommend taking them with water so that its effectiveness is greater. You can find them a lot of flavors: chocolate on top, vanilla, caramel … Best of all? They also have antioxidants comparable to those that provide fruits and vegetables.

The crackers are characteristic for providing satiating fiber and be well, we need less of that of the normal to feel your stomach full. The proper thing is to eat three or four and that, although comprehensive, does not mean they do not provide calories. The flavors can be found in many fruits and even inside, have you tried the red berries covered with yogurt? Delicious!

The cereal bars are ideal for taking in the afternoon because, thanks to its high content of cereals and carbohydrates, satiate us while we provide enough energy to get dinner. They contain only 67 calories per unit and can choose to fiber thus also help the intestinal transit.

Low carb shakes are the best allies if not for a moment since the day you can wear anywhere and take them under any circumstances. There are many flavors but still not too many brands manufactured so it can be difficult to find.

Finally, I’ll tell you the latest news on healthy snacks. This is a snack salty designed to take mid-morning or afternoon and turn off the urge to eat that ‘peck’ entering at that time. Herbalife has created a tomato soup that is prepared by mixing the product with two tablespoons of hot water and is incredibly satisfying. It also has a Mediterranean flavor and a taste of basil.

postheadericon A Healthy Menu

I have already given ideas about how to make a dinner, a snack, a healthy breakfast and lunch. This blog is a compilation of all those ideas you have them handy when you want to prepare your healthy menu.

The breakfast has to be the biggest meal of the day. Remember that we will take him all the energy for the day and will wear absolutely everything about what we consume. Do not forget to include fruit, which is rich in glucose.

During lunch we also need to eat plenty of food to recover all lost strength throughout the morning and evening face hard. Even so, we must make large meals then we let ‘sleepy’. Accompanying drink water instead of soda or sugared puffing and not leaves half of the plate untouched.

In the afternoon should we make a small snack to go with less appetite for dinner, which should be as light as possible? Opt for a glass of milk, a fruit or something sweet.

Dinner is the meal of the day that you eat less food for digestion does not get to heavy and her bed made. Try to make a unique dish with a dessert and skips back and sugary soft drinks, as well as food.

Eating well at noon is very important to recover all the energy lost during the morning and be able to face the long period remaining until bedtime in top form.

It should always include in the menu some vegetables and some fruit for dessert. Unless the single dish is very strong and provide enough nutrients it is appropriate to take a first course, second and dessert to combine foods to meet all our needs.

When choosing the drink to accompany the dishes, it is best to opt for water. Carbonated drinks and caffeine will only make more fill will be getting less and eat a little while, we were among hungry again. Besides posing an extra intake of calories.

Here we propose three menus that you can choose when to eat, rich, light and complete!

It is best to do it around nine in the evening to allow time for the digestive system to process it all before bed. Must be low-carb meals and plenty of vegetables. Proteins, better to opt for those that come in lean meats.

Forget great dessert to finish it because the only thing you do is add fat to be stored and not used. The sweet, better at breakfast, when we need more energy.

Here we propose three healthy meals, choose yours!

1. – Mediterranean salad. Alíñala with a light sauce such as yogurt or simply with oil, vinegar and salt.

postheadericon Vitamin C for a Cold

I’m surrounded by people who have colds! It really works vitamin C against the cold?

The first person who presented the theory that high-dose vitamin C helps fight colds was Linus Pauling, double Nobel Prize winner, in his book “Vitamin C and the common cold.” In the 70′s everyone thought so, but has made other modern studies that say otherwise. New studies have shown that vitamin C or ascorbic acid does not help us against infection itself but it helps us get better faster. That is, people who take vitamin C regularly have shorter colds than others, so that Pauling was not entirely wrong.

In a study made of the effect of vitamin C, a group of people which has shown a more significant effect and are stressed individuals. This group saw a 50% presence of colds when they took supplements of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for the metabolism of connective tissue and facilitates the absorption of iron in the stomach. It also has an antioxidant effect on other substances in the body. Ascorbic acid is water soluble, which means that any surplus will disappear from the body in urine.

Mild deficiency can cause bleeding of the gums (which can lead to tooth loss), impaired wound healing, fatigue, muscle weakness, increased risk of infection. Severe deficiency of ascorbic acid can cause scurvy. The best trick for those who want to avoid colds seems, sleep, 7-9 hours per night, daily exercise and movement, and 200 milligrams of vitamin C daily.

With a varied diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables is usually not necessary to take supplemental vitamin C. Is sufficient to take a couple of oranges or other citrus fruits salad or cooked vegetables over the food. Foods high in vitamin C are potatoes, vegetables, citrus fruits, peppers, rosehips, strawberries, berries, cabbage, parsley, turnip, spinach, green peas, and broccoli and so on. Also offal such as liver and adrenal glands.
