Menopause: the right gestures at the table
– A meal is better seated. Eating is an activity in its own right, which deserves our full dedication. Well installed, we assimilate food better and suddenly, we limit the portions.
– Limit your portions. We often have eyes bigger than our stomachs. A tip: use smaller plates, they will appear well stocked, but will be less filling.
– Once is enough! Avoid refilling. Your plate finished, wait a moment before asking for a second serving. If you are still hungry after 5-10 minutes, recharge moderately. But if it’s gluttony, don’t give in.
– Savor every bite and take breaks between courses. You have to eat slowly and chew well to give your brain time to send out the signal for satiety. Thus, you will avoid bloating and your digestion will be facilitated.
– No to nibbling ! We eat at mealtime. If you’re hungry around 5 p.m., fall back on an apple.
– You are hungry… What if it was thirst? Many people do not know the difference between feelings of hunger and thirst… And what they take for a craving is often only thirst. If, 10 minutes after a full glass of water your stomach is still squealing, you are really hungry!
