Healthy Recipes for Dinner

When the work is done and a stressful day comes to an end, it's time to do something good for the body with a well-balanced Healthy Recipes for Dinner. For the evening meal, it is advisable to eat consciously and finally indulge in pleasure. Fast food while standing or watching TV should be an absolute taboo!

Perhaps the Most Important Meal of the Day.

 Shopping quickly after work, tormenting through rush hour traffic and then cooking for the family: dinner can quickly become a stressor. That does not have to be! Healthy eating and enjoyment are not mutually exclusive.

The evening meal should be light so that your stomach is not burdened after a hard day. But the taste must not be neglected. Finally, the soul also wants to be satisfied. This satisfaction is often underestimated.

The Atmosphere Makes It

 Just when the day was hectic, little rituals help to come down and shut down. Create your favorite music while you cook. Cover the table moodily with the colors that you particularly like. Especially when you eat alone.

Be worthy of this attention. Watch out for a soft light. So you leave the stress of everyday life behind and enjoy the culinary delights that will put you on the table.

A Good Choice for Dinner

 You prefer digestible foods with added value for your organism.

Eat steamed vegetables according to your preferences. This will give you enough vitamins and fiber.

Fish, especially sea fish, contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for optimal heart and brain function.

Alternatively, moderate portions of lean meat and poultry are also suitable. These provide omega-6 fatty acids - important for wound healing and infection control.

Grab nuts such as cashews or walnuts. Do not be afraid of the fats: The natural oils contained in nuts bring with them a whole range of minerals and trace elements. In addition, they stabilize the sugar and cholesterol levels.

Carbs: Small amounts of pasta, rice or potatoes complete the culinary delight perfectly.

What should not be eaten in the Evening?

Under no circumstances should you resort to fast food or let the dinner completely. A too full belly avenges itself with sleep and restlessness like a growling stomach. Also, avoid:

• Too sweet: Very sweet fruits and sugar increase blood sugar levels.

• Too salty: Use too much salt, do not open your eyes to thirst and water retention may occur.

• Too greasy: fried and baked things strain your liver and gallbladder.

• Caffeine and Co.: Coke and coffee, also stimulate tea too strong.

The Right Timing

Do not eat too late. At least three hours should be the last meal and bedtime so that your digestive system is not running at full speed if you want to dreamland.

The optimal time for dinner is between 17 and 19 o'clock. From 11:00 pm until 9:00 am, the organs regenerate according to a certain bio-rhythm, the so-called organ clock. By this time at the latest, the digestion, which lasts two to three hours, should be completed.

Tryptophan - The Good Night Protein

Special attention should be paid during the evening meal on the tryptophan content of the food. The amino acid ensures that enough serotonin (happiness hormone) and melatonin (sleep hormone) is formed - the perfect formula for deep, restful sleep.

Who does not want to fall asleep happy and sleepy and wake up in the morning with new energy for the whole day? For example, salmon and cashews contain a lot of tryptophan and are an excellent fit for the evening meal.
