recommendations
According to Professor Edna Nava, one of the recommendations to lose weight is to have a balanced breakfast and do not skip meal times since in the long run they can cause stomach upset, fainting and cramps due to lack of energy.
“We begin to make mistakes in leaving out some food time, in leaving out an entire food group because it is believed that this causes weight gain and we also begin to cause physical damage to ourselves by wanting to do physical exercise and perhaps not all of us have that physical condition, physical fitness to do it. It is better to start thinking about a structured breakfast, eat well and have a light dinner.”

All systems require water, nutrients necessarily require water to circulate in our body, therefore, let’s look for infusions. Let’s give that water a little flavor. Maybe a little bit of lemon drops, some orange slices, some cucumber. Our hydration should be simple. Without anything added, without coloring, without sweeteners, so that we can consider it water to hydrate ourselves.”
