Nutritionism is the science of food and its impact on health. The downside of this branch of science is that it is at the beginning of its development path, so certain findings are constantly changing in accordance with the results of the latest research. We summarize some basic facts on how to keep your body fit (read: with enough energy) while maintaining weight.

1. Evening Hour

It was once believed that the pineal gland, responsible for producing a variety of vitamins, starts working slower after 6 p.m., which means the body is preparing for rest. Therefore, nutritionists have suggested not eating anything after 6 p.m. However, recent research due to changed work rhythms has found that the pineal gland's bedtime has also changed. According to the latest findings, it is now advised not to eat anything after 8 p.m. If you feel hungry after this time, it's better to turn off the TV and go to bed. This way, you will do more for your health and well-being.

2. Record Keeping

Keep track of the number of spoonfuls you eat. If you can also keep a record of the hours, you will learn much more about your body than any doctor could. Pay attention to the number of spoonfuls for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are many cases where people realize that if they have a modest breakfast, they end up eating more throughout the day, doing themselves a disservice. Record keeping is also very important so you can choose the type of food you are lacking.

3. Berries

Berries are among the very healthy and nutritious foods. Even though it's not the season for blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and wild strawberries now, you can still consider frozen forest fruits to comfort ourselves until next spring. In general, berries suppress appetite and promote a peaceful sleep, and these fruits have very little fat. Eating them in the evening is the main advantage of berries.

4. Flour and Sugar

If you eat whole grain bread, you don't have to worry about belly fat. Generally, avoid foods made from flour, sugar, fatty and fried foods, smoked and salty dishes. Avoid alcohol at night, and pay attention to glutamates, which are amino acids that form proteins in the body.

5. Water

To wake up healthy and fit the next morning, it is good to drink a glass of water 20 minutes before bedtime. The water should not be cold, nor hot. Lukewarm water has a calming effect and will also warm you up. A healthy person should drink at least 2 liters of water a day.
