How to make the brunch healthier?

It is the lunch between breakfast and lunch, it is a trend and every weekend most restaurants and hotels are looking to put it to the good of our lives. But how friendly is our health and silhouette and how can we correct it?

The brunch - for the one-digit number of people out there who may not have heard it - is a meal that has emerged in recent years in Greece. It is usually consumed on the weekends that we wake later and is the meal that is neither breakfast nor lunch, but something in between. It consists of foods that we would normally eat at breakfast, but also the food we would see at lunch and save us from making and eating two meals. We offer them both in a way so that it does not "cost" us that we wake up a little later.

Surely the brunch with eggs, pancakes, salads, and burgers sounds very delicious and tasty, but it is not the best for our overall health and silhouette if it is often consumed. The reasons are many.

According to experts, those who consume it on a regular basis are gaining weight. The reason is that the brunch time is already a long time to be a fasting and ends up consuming a lot of food, very greasy, reaching several calories in a meal.

This leads to a big vacuum until the next meal, which causes more fat accumulation, while the three big meals and snacks in between that keep the balance ... go for a walk. The brain, however, needs a constant supply of energy to work effectively and after a long fast, the symptoms of fatigue, headache, body pain, nausea, and so on. they can hit you the door. However, eating two meals on a regular basis can lead to nutritional deprivation, a lot of calories and an imbalance in meals.

To enjoy a brunch one in, of course, will not greatly disrupt the system, but if you are more frequent followers then keep in mind the following:

§  Processed carbohydrates, such as white bread, frying pancakes, chocolates, and so forth, cause sudden fluctuations in blood sugar, giving us a sharp explosion of energy, which then falls equally suddenly and creates fatigue and hunger. Prefer high-protein, high protein, fiber, and nutritional choices. You can, for example, choose the brunch bread you choose to be black.

§  Start your brunch with fresh salads without sauces or with herbal tea or fresh fruit to prepare your body for a better intestinal process.

§  Prefer egg, fish (usually salmon) or chicken instead of burgers with red meat burgers and other high-sodium and cholesterol meats that want more digestion time. You can also try tempeh, which is a soy product and is high in enzymes and is a protein of plant origin.

§  Many brunch drinks and refreshments are full of sugar and calories. It is advisable not to get such calories before eating anything. Prefer natural juices and herbal tea that give you energy without caffeine.

§  Avoid processed foods and do not put anything fried on an empty stomach, as the body is not ready to process trans fats.

§  Say "no" to excessive sugar, as it can lead to constipation afterward.

§  Drink at least one glass of water as soon as you wake up so that your body can properly start its functions.

§  If you follow all of the above, the more you can, the brunch will not hurt you in any way and so everyone will be won!
