Fortunately, But, lattention to well-being and correct nutrition is still in vogue, more so at this time of year. Eat well, however, does not mean losing weight: if the goal is to lose the pounds accumulated during the winter then it is necessary to take fewer calories than they consume by increasing physical activity or reducing calories thanks to the diet. But be careful not to let go to unbalanced diets which can have negative effects on our well-being and let us remember to drink the right amount of water every day.
How to explains the doctor Elisabetta Bernardi, Biologist specialized in Food Science and member of the #Sanpellegrino Observatory: "Some diets are very complicated, others exclude whole groups of foods, or bring few carbohydrates or low-fat foods, others more they are personalized with respect to the blood group. However, all these diets, regardless of their complexity and the risks or benefits they bring, they are bound to fail if you don't drink enough water". Proper hydration is in fact a valid ally to regulate the sense of hunger, eliminate excess toxins and accelerate the effects of a low-calorie diet through the mechanism of thermogenesis: "si is observed - continues Dr. Bernardi- is althe increase of thewater intake is associated body weight loss, because drinking more water helps intensify the sense of satiety and to stimulate consumption ofecalories for energy production. In the same way thehypohydrated, or don't drink enoughfor, is correlatato the increase in body weight and its consequences".
A good habit is not to wait lo thirst stimulation - that arrives "too late" when water loss exceeds 0,5% of body weight - but to drink constantly throughout the day. Attention also not to confuse the stimulus of thirst with that of hunger: the two sensations are connected and can be misinterpreted and then push us to consume a snack too, when in reality the one mentioned weneed is a glass of water.
Beanie during meals it is not harmful, but rather helps be satisfied first and therefore to binge on less. "A study found that people who drink water immediately before a meal have showed a decrease of 2 Kg greater (44%)in weight loss compared topeople who don't they do it - explains the doctor - This, the authors suggest, could be due to the fact that water has a filling effect and helps to eat less".
In addition to proper hydration, another very important and often overlooked element during Diets is the consumption of fiber. Esse they are contained in particular in foods that have a plant origin, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. "The fibers represent a element important for proper nutrition e can contribute inweight loss. - concludes Dr. Bernardi - In fact, they increase the sense of satiety because they fill the stomach and stimulate the receptors report to the brain that it's time to stop eating. When consuming fiber-rich foods, But,it is necessary to introduce the right amount of water, at least eight glasses distributed throughout the day, to help the digestive system to assimilate them. For this reason, proper hydration is once again a fundamental element for the whole organism".
