Cold weather means people tend to stay indoors more; This can lead to decreased physical activity and weight gain. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended not to consume too much sweet and high-calorie foods rich in simple carbohydrates. Instead, choose whole grains, beans, legumes, peas and starchy vegetables, which contain complex carbohydrates that can be broken down into simpler carbohydrates. Their use allows you to maintain a feeling of satiety for a long time and avoid overeating.
It is known that coffee and tea warm up well in cold weather and increase vitality. However, consuming more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day is not recommended (an average 8-ounce cup of coffee contains 95 milligrams). Excess of this substance in the diet can lead to sleep problems, rapid heartbeat, hypertension, anxiety and irritability. Experts recommend replacing coffee with other drinks such as milk tea and cocoa.
