If you’ve been asking why it is so important to eat in the morning, well, I’ll explain why the breakfast, which compound word means putting aside the fast, is essential in the early hours of the day.

Every day you are exposed to various activities, and the negative of this is that when you skip breakfast you feel tired, not wanting to do anything, you forget things, you feel sadness and sometimes you feel you are worthless, it reflects a negative image You’re not productive and even sometimes people around you feel sorry for you, and when all these things together, the emotional decay is worse.

But these expressions of distress may not have to be treated by a psychologist, but with a nutritionist, because it could be the result of poor nutrition. However, before taking this step, you can make from the event for adults who tell you that you eat properly, let alone in the mornings which is when the day begins, for example, high-fiber cereal, skim or low-fat yogurt, egg, juices, cheese, ham, low fat, among others.
Read some tips on feeding morning:

  • The human body spends about 440 calories in eight hours while sleeping. That explains how important it is to break the fast in the morning, so you get breakfast.
  • Girls who are overweight tend to overlook more breakfast than girls of normal weight. What I do not know is that in so doing will provide invaluable hunger lunch hour and eat larger portions to satisfy.
  • The major source of energy is to eat fiber cereal for breakfast, because the fibers originate your digestive system work better and your bowels quickly and often eliminate the toxic elements that are harmful to your body.

What Is Potomanía?

Posted by Sharon Keisha | February 2nd, 2010 in Eating Disorders, Potomanía | No Comments »

Potomanía

There is an eating disorder called Potomanía characterized by a frequent desire to drink plenty of water compulsively and without feeling thirsty, accompanied by a pleasant feeling.

Doctors usually recommend a daily consumption of pints of water for healthy living, but if you drink more than this amount (six or seven liters per day for example), then maybe we’re talking about Potomanía.

The desire to lose kilos or quitting smoking leads many people to walk daily with a water bottle under his arm until he unknowingly can become addicted to water, the same way that bulimia is an addiction to food, without the people themselves realize.

The Potomanía or excessive water consumption for pleasure, can alter the functioning of the kidneys, the composition of blood and fluid and electrolyte balance within the body. The excess fluid can cause blood components are diluted, and there is an imbalance in the concentration of electrolytes.

If you believe or know someone showing signs of suffering from Potomanía, advise him to go to a specialist in endocrinology in order to eliminate any hormone disorder or another disease that affects the hypothalamic area, where is the center that regulates thirst.

Treatment of Potomanía depends on the underlying cause. But still and all, irrespective of the cause, points out the need to restrict fluid intake to a quart and a half daily.
