Be creative with your smoothie recipes for intermittent fasting
The list of recipes is endless, with a pinch of creativity you can blend and centrifuge everything. Wellness fanatics also add supplements (so-called boosters such as algae powder extracts, green tea, antioxidants). Greedier people, simply satisfy the needs of the palate, with sweeter combinations.
There are many combinations: purifying, anti-cellulite, regenerating or slimming. The one that strengthens the immune defences, the one that deflates and many others. Colourful and inviting smoothies, to make us think that only by drinking them will we benefit. The passion for smoothies, (the modern name of fruit and vegetable based drinks, blended in water, milk or yogurt) must not mislead us. The reality is that there is no only one healthy elixir. The value of a liquid diet is rather contained in the supply of essential micronutrients to make our body function better, moving away from possible nutritional deficits.
At the base, however, there must be a daily diet that puts on the table, every day, a great variety of foods. It is better limiting the consumption of fats, sugary drinks and alcohol. Juices and smoothies can be, for example, a valid ploy to convince children to take on the much hated vegetables in another form, mitigating their flavour.
Or a choice dictated by the heat and we feel the need to refresh and hydrate. No purifying role in the strict sense. In the absence of pathologies, when we feed ourselves correctly, our liver and kidneys do their duty to eliminate the waste of metabolic activities.
To get safe results?
Regardless of the hourly intervals chosen, the optimum for obtaining results involves the consumption of small meals distributed during the hours dedicated to food intake. This makes it easier to keep your metabolism efficient and prevent hunger attacks. It is essential to specify the possibility, during the fasting hours, to consume calorie-free drinks – e.g. water and unsweetened tea – in order to keep the body sufficiently hydrated.
Conclusions
The passion for juices and smoothies also helps hydration, which is important both in summer and in winter. A healthy adult should supplement their losses with at least 2-2.5 liters of water a day. We drink from the bottle and also from the vegetable world. ‘We drink’ when we eat a portion of fruit, just think that an apple or a pear are made up of over 90% water. Numerous studies have also confirmed that it is easier for our body to assimilate the water contained in food, rather than eating dry food and then drink.
Drinking smoothies is very important for a diet that practices intermittent fasting of any kind. Smoothies can help you stay in shape and maintain a healthy diet.
