All you Need to Know about Calories

Energy is necessary for every physical activity. Calories are measure for energy that the body gets out of food. From 1800 to 2000 calories meet daily calorific needs of an adult female that should not lose weight. A gram of proteins and a gram of carbohydrates have each 4 calories. The difference is that carbohydrates are the current source of energy and proteins are used to create tissue. Beverages contain calories (400 per liter) and do not have any nutrients. Besides, energy drinks lead to high blood pressure which is dangerous for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. In addition to this, soda contains acid that disturbs the pH value in the oral cavity and damages dental enamel. Instead, you should drink a lot of mineral water. This is how the appetite is controlled and harmful substances are purged from the body.

Water makes 65% of the human body. It carries substances necessary for cells and makes it possible for the body to purge out bad substances by urine and sweat. The amount of liquids during the summer is 2.5 L. If you exercise you will need more water: 500ml for every 30 minutes of exercise.

All meals should be taken regularly. Do not skip meals, because that slows down the metabolism, and you do not lose weight. People who skip breakfast consume more calories during the day in comparison to those people who have all three meals. It is important to eat slowly. Otherwise, you will have eaten even more food before the stomach sends a signal to the brain that you are full up.

After a meal you can drink a cup of coffee instead of a glass of alcohol. Coffee stimulates metabolism and fats decomposition, while alcohol blocks it.

Consume vegetables! Vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, salts and water. So, you can eat vegetables in large amounts, without any harm to your body shape.
