The diet should take into account not only the age or level of physical activity, but also the gender - at least for breakfast. This conclusion was reached by researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada, who studied how male and female organisms respond to different types of morning food.
According to the German edition of Bild , scientists have created computer models of metabolism of men and women to analyze how they absorb breakfasts with high carbohydrate or fat. The results showed a striking difference.
Men, according to the model, are better tolerated by carbohydrate breakfasts - cereals, cereals, fruits. This start of the day activates metabolism and provides a stable level of energy.
Women, on the contrary, respond more effectively to fats - omelets, avocado or yogurt with nuts. This choice maintains hormonal balance and stabilizes blood glucose.
"It would seem that minor solutions - for example, that we eat for breakfast - can affect our health and energy levels," - said the head of the study of Stephanie or.
Scientists emphasize that personalizing food by sex can significantly improve your well -being, concentration and even affect long -term health.
By the way, another study indicates the importance of the fact of breakfast itself: Loma Lama residents in California, who are considered long -lived, traditionally start a day with oatmeal - and this is perhaps one of the secrets of their health.
