Tip: How to make a healthy dinner

  Depending on the country or place of origin, dinner times vary. There are some places where dinner is served around 7:00 or 8:00 PM, and there are others where it is served between 9:00 and 10:00 PM. Additionally, the timing of work activities varies greatly. This leaves us with very little time between eating and sleeping. The relationship between dinner and a good night's sleep is direct, as digestion influences our rest. What types of foods are advisable to consume before going to bed? Foods should vary by season: in summer we can start with a cold cream or gazpacho, and in winter with a light soup or stew. Salad, for its part, is always a good option as it is quick to prepare and allows us to combine it with high-quality proteins such as chicken, fish, ham, eggs, cheese, potatoes, rice, pasta, and more. This way, it can even become a complete dish. If we have time, we can come up with something using leftovers from lunch, and if not, there is always the option of packaged salads. Moreover, if we haven't consumed our daily portion of fruits or dairy, dinner is the last opportunity to do so. Here are some tips or advice for a healthy dinner: - No fried foods, spicy seasonings, excessive salt, or large portions. - Avoid fats, so the best options are steaming, baking, grilling, microwaving, or boiling the food. - Prefer fish, poultry, or eggs instead of beef or pork. - It's best to eat small portions. - Skipping dinner does not lead to weight loss, so it is recommended to take this meal, even if lightly. Healthy recommendations for dinner: - Quinoa Salad with Vegetables - Potato and Pea Salad - Lettuce Salad with Apple and Walnut - Fruit Skewers with Light Whipped Cream and Jam
