SANDWICH WITH TEA FOR BREAKFAST - GOOD OR HARM? Most people in the morning in a hurry get ready for work or school, so they either have a snack with a sandwich with a cup of tea on the go, or do without breakfast at all. Sometimes the breakfast menu consists of leftovers from yesterday's dinner warmed up in microwave oven, and for some, the day begins with scrambled eggs and sausage. Both the first and second options do the body more harm than good. Of course, most people understand that correct breakfast Is a pledge wellness and normal working capacity during the day, but still do not want to spend 10-15 minutes in the morning cooking and eating, and, after all, how often before bedtime we decide: from tomorrow only healthy food... And in the morning ... What could be easier than eating a glass of tea (coffee) or milk with sandwiches for breakfast? Many of us cannot get rid of the bad Soviet habit of eating sandwiches in the morning. Nutritionists generally look at food in terms of calorie count and sometimes the combination of various products between themselves. But let's look at our favorite breakfast a little deeper, including the biochemistry of our body, i.e. what happens inside us after the usual breakfast. Let's try to discard the stereotypes that we have developed throughout life and show a little sanity. Morning should start with a glass of clean warm water to replenish the body's reserves of moisture and to improve bowel function. Drink water 30-15 minutes before meals. We drank further according to the plan - wash, shower, dress, recharge, etc. And now breakfast. Let's start with such a beloved and fragrant white bread or bun. What are their benefits? Yes, nothing - one starch (carbohydrates) and no fiber (unless the bread is bran or whole grain flour). Starch, of course, gives us energy, but few people know that the intestines are clogged with starch and fermentative bacteria develop instead of useful ones. Same white bread this is thermophilic yeast on which all bakery products are now baked, and this is, simply, a diversion towards people. The best way of bread rye flour coarse or whole grain pita bread, naturally yeast-free. Crucial role has an acid-base balance of the body and exactly what you eat for breakfast will decide whether you will work fruitfully or the body will fight acidification for half a day in order to restore the normal pH level. From this point of view, white bread, meat, sausage, egg, coffee, strong tea, sugar are the strongest acidifying agents. Make a conclusion yourself. For sausage lovers, I will add that any sausage (unless cooked at home) contains genetically modified soy (there is simply no other soy), dyes, flavors, a flavor enhancer (from which the eyesight falls ...) and many other "delights" , which cause great harm to our body, and if you want to be healthy, then think about it, well, and for those who are all the same, let them eat and not be distracted. Smoked products cannot be called food at all. Those who cannot refuse them, see the above. Here I would like to add a few words about warm sandwiches or yesterday's food warmed up in the microwave. Everything that was at least something useful in what you put on a plate, after processing in a microvoltage oven, becomes, well, to put it mildly, not food, but what food becomes at the very last stage when leaving the body. Butter for breakfast this good source energy and many useful elements for the body. Even cholesterol, which everyone scolds so much, is necessary, in certain doses, for our pancreas to produce insulin (diabetics especially need to take this into account, and not eat completely low fat foodas doctors advise). One important note - the oil must be natural, at least 82.5 percent fat, because everything below this percentage (spreads, butter ...) is already margarine, with all the ensuing consequences for the body. Cup aromatic tea (coffee with sugar. What's wrong with that? Gives a charge of vivacity ... For vivacity, do not be lazy, but do a little exercise, unlike coffee, it will strengthen, and not weaken your health. Well, and if you are too lazy to do exercises, if you still drink tea (coffee)? If tea, then it is better herbal in a bite with honey. Herbal tea and honey does not acidify the body. Coffee is generally a drug, but if you are not yet able to refuse it, then no instant coffee (this is not coffee), but only ground and freshly brewed, and even better, replace it with barley drink or chicory. The sugar in tea gives us a quick boost of energy, because it is instantly absorbed into the bloodstream and disperses throughout the body, however, this energy just as quickly and ends up, unlike porridge, for example, which is also a carbohydrate, but only absorbed for a long time and keeps the feeling of satiety for a long time. Many people consider sugar, if not useful, then, in any case, harmless because it, supposedly, natural product... However, this is also a delusion. Refined white sugar is not food product... It is a pure chemical derived from plant materials - in fact, it is purer than cocaine, with which it has a lot in common. And the common thing is addiction and addiction. Well, try to live another day without sweets if you have a sweet tooth? Natural sugar is found in honey, fruits, i.e. in living products that are not subject to processing. But now, we ate a sandwich (starch, etc.) and washed it down with a sweet drink. Has no role here anymore sugar sweetness or honey, anyway, the process of fermentation begins in the stomach with the release of gases and toxins ... In addition, gastric juice diluted with tea cannot digest food as efficiently and it remains in the stomach even longer, continuing fermentation. Dairy products are a good option for breakfast, but not store-bought pasteurized ones. some of these products cannot be called dairy products at all (soy sour cream, vegetable fats, artificial vitamins, preservatives ...), but natural. Milk, whey, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheeses, yoghurts and kefir homemade here is what may be worthy of our attention. Summarize. What did we eat healthy with a cup of sweet tea and a sandwich? We can say almost unambiguously - NOTHING! Where does health come from? And, vitamins, microelements and other substances that are so necessary for our body for normal life? Where are they in a bun, sugar, sausage, tea ...? How to be? Let's start by breaking down the stereotypes that are so ingrained in us and show sanity. Think about what kind of breakfast will bring, if not benefit, then at least not harm your health. Assess the level of your well-being, i.e. what you can eat, what you can't. Reconsider your culinary attachments, habits, addictions and, if necessary, try to change them. I will not recommend the breakfast options. Having shown sanity and listening to their body, everyone should choose their own morning diet for themselves. I will add, only that vegetables, fruits, freshly squeezed juices from them, dairy products, a variety of cereals... will help you make your breakfast not only tasty, but also healthy. Try to experiment and be healthy. Good morning and bon appetit!

Hello my dear readers! I am expanding my collection of recipes healthy dishes, and today it will be about healthy breakfast, more precisely, about what I eat from time to time in the morning. But in general morning reception food is my favorite. Although earlier, when I often overeat at dinner and indulged in tea at night, I didn't really need breakfast, in the truest sense of the word. There was no appetite, let alone the pleasure of what I had eaten. Now the situation has changed dramatically. Now I always have breakfast and at the same time feel real pleasure. In addition, at this time I can afford a little more than, say, free or for dinner.))

Why then, when I say that one of my favorite dishes is sandwiches, 90 percent of my listeners gasp and are surprised. For some reason, in people's heads the word SANDWICH is associated with a huge fat piece of bread with an equally thick piece of butter and sausage streaked with fat. And when I say that sandwiches can be useful and not harm the figure, then after, I notice sidelong glances. In most cases, this skepticism is inherent in middle-aged people. Maybe these are the remnants of Soviet convictions?

But we know that the whole point is in the products that we choose.))) I haven't eaten sausages and shop processed (jerky, salted) meat for a long time. It is much easier and cheaper to cook it yourself, it will turn out to be much healthier and tastier. I prefer to eat just that way. Hope you do too.)

What kind of bread is good for sandwiches?

It's no secret that bread is the main ingredient in sandwiches. And bread is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates give us strength and energy for the whole day. Nutritionists insist on using whole grain bread. It contains coarse fibers that improve bowel function and more vitamins and minerals than white bread.

But if there is no such product, then you can replace it with black bread. A taste that some people don't like. I myself am not a special lover of rye flour products... But sometimes I allow myself to eat a couple of bites.

Breads are ideal for morning sandwiches. They contain everything that the body needs to stay energized. But at the same time, they do not quite give a feeling of satiety. Although as anyone, I speak now only for myself.

Delicious and healthy breakfast sandwiches: 4 easy recipes

Another advantage of making sandwiches for breakfast is that they are made very quickly, in just a couple of minutes. This cannot but be appreciated by the working representative of humanity. And, as you know, a very busy time of day. And don't forget to have breakfast. Every minute counts.And so let's move on to the recipes themselves.

Breakfast sandwich with curd cheese

I got acquainted with curd cheese as a product quite recently, and to be honest, I loved it. It comes in many varieties, both hard and creamy, and I like the latter. Most often I buy the Hochland brand. I like it with garlic and herbs. In addition, it is less high in calories than plain solid cream cheese... It can also be made very easily at home. Don't know how?

This will require cottage cheese. I take low-fat, add sour cream, salt, finely chopped herbs and garlic. I mix everything and send it to the blender. The consistency should be creamy. I can't say anything about the quantity, since everything depends on the sour cream and the cottage cheese itself. So see for yourself. But if suddenly the product is too liquid, you can add a little corn starch. But it is advisable not to allow this.

And so the recipe for an ugly sandwich is simple. Take a piece of bread and grease with curd cheese.)))

Red fish sandwich for breakfast

The appetizer is delicious. Red fish is rich healthy fats and trace elements. As a rule, I take a whale, pink salmon or salmon. Of them greatest value represents salmon, but its cost is quite high. You can buy whole frozen fish and salt it yourself, or buy ready-made portions. And yet, I choose lightly salted, not smoked.

Take a slice of bread, brush it with a thin layer of butter, or curd cheese and place a small piece of fish on top.

By the way, with all the sandwiches, you can eat an unlimited amount of vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, salads, and so on. It will be even healthier and tastier.

Hot cheese sandwich for breakfast

The simplest, in my opinion, and the hottest.)) A sandwich with cheese zebra is absolutely everything. It's a classic. Therefore, no one should have any difficulties in cooking. I prefer to melt cheese in the microwave. Then it becomes soft and just melts in your mouth.

Breakfast sandwich with egg

Well, and the last option for breakfast, which I love very much, is a good old egg. It is fried and steamed and baked, but I usually use boiled for sandwiches. I pre-cook it in the evening to free up some time in the morning.

The recipe, as always, is very simple. Take a slice of bread or a loaf of bread, on top of a leaf of lettuce or cabbage (for example, Peking cabbage). If there is no cabbage, a cucumber or tomato will do, then put the chopped along boiled egg... That's all.

Very often I do 2 or 3 types at once healthy sandwiches on breakfast. And as a drink, I really like freshly brewed flavored coffee... I can't refuse it, and I don't want to. One cup in the morning will definitely not wave.)))

Enjoy your meal!

The one who first thought of spreading butter on a piece of bread served humanity a great service: for many hundreds of years, the whole world has been eating with appetite sandwiches and their national varieties. In terms of popularity, this simple dish could not be surpassed even by pizza (by the way, in its essence, it is also a sandwich, only large and hot). However, is this ingenious invention really so flawless? The whole world has been arguing about this for the past few decades. We also speculate.

A sandwich - this is really great: several products at once complement beneficial features each other. Take for example sandwich with cheese... On a slice of bread, which contains many B vitamins and glutamic acid, butter is spread - an excellent source of vitamins A and E. A slice of cheese enriches the composition with important amino acids, phosphorus and calcium. The result is a more complete product than bread, butter and cheese separately.
Alas, white refined bread is most often used for sandwiches, fat cheese and no less fatty ham or smoked sausage... The result is a multi-storey concentrate of fast-digesting carbohydrates, saturated fats, cholesterol, preservatives and few others. nutrients, which subsequently "settle" on the waist and the walls of blood vessels, along the way "sitting down" the liver and the immune system.
A sandwich - it's really convenient. He does not need a plate and a fork, he does not run out of oil like a cutlet, does not splash like borsch, and does not stain his hands like a chicken. This means that you can eat a sandwich and at the same time do a lot of useful things: read a book, write notes or watch TV. Even work on a computer. And at the same time, do not be afraid to stain everything with which you come into contact. In conditions of time pressure, these qualities become simply invaluable. Distracted by other activities while eating is harmful to digestion. This is already an axiom. But the sandwich rudely ignores her. Plus, when you're doing more important things, you won't notice when you're done with your first sandwich, and of course you will want more. Now think how much extra calories will get your body!
A sandwich - this is sometimes a good way out of the situation. Agree, it's better to have a snack on hastily sandwiches than to be left without lunch at all, but at dinner to reward yourself in full. And then, will you, dying of hunger, sauté carrots and fry onions? Most probably not. Just take out bread, sausage - and a simple dinner is ready. You look, in the evening you will have enough strength and patience to cook soup or cook vegetable stew... About a sandwich - this is a classic dry water, which is difficult to digest and therefore not too "welcome" by the stomach thirsty for hot and liquid food. And even if you drink your meal well, the body will not become easier. Neither soda, juice, coffee, nor packet soup will help you absorb the many ingredients in a sandwich. He will lie lumpy at the bottom of his unhappy stomach until evening. Is it worth it then to be surprised from where it came from gastritis?
A sandwich - it is not only convenient and fast. It can be made both beautiful and useful at the same time. You just need to take as a basis whole wheat breadadding greens, vegetables or fruits: lettuce, dill, parsley, basil, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears or apples. Fresh herbs will improve digestion and enrich the sandwich with vitamins, vegetables and fruits, among other things, will give the taste newness and freshness, and a slice of lemon perfectly neutralizes excess fat. This mixture is a classic example of the wrong food from the point of view of theory. separate food... Greens and vegetables are still tolerant, but bread with meat, and even with fruits in addition, are absolutely incompatible things. In addition, you will not get so many vitamins from a few slices of vegetables and fruits and sprigs of greens.
If you already decided to eat a sandwich, it should be an independent dish, and not an appendage to have a good lunch... Treat your creation like a gourmet - bite off in small bites and chew thoroughly, enjoying it simple yet an exquisite combination taste.
Replace sausage or ham boiled meat - beef, veal or chicken breast... And instead of high-calorie cheese use processed cheese... Why not put bladed cheese on a sandwich: it is rich in protein and easier to digest. You can give up meat and make a layer of honey with ground ginger between bread and cheese - delicious, spicy and healthy.
Stick to the rule "the simpler, the better." Don't build a whole food tower trying to combine salad, hot and dessert in a sandwich. Three ingredients are enough to make a great sandwich. And the book "1000 most delicious sandwiches"put it on the highest shelf: in such publications you rarely find simple, fast and interesting recipes.
But, despite the German name, the honor of inventing the sandwich belongs to non-German chefs. Both the American big mac and the British sandwich (minus the irrelevant features) are the same thing, and they all have Russian roots. The idea to smear bread with butter was born in the Slavic lands. Then the Germans adopted it, remaking the name in their own way. Oddly enough, the terribly inconvenient pronunciation of the word "sandwich" easily displaced the unpretentious Russian "hut" from everyday life.
The sandwich has been pleasing humanity for nine hundred years. So is it worth questioning his right to exist? Perhaps not worth it. But we should not forget that there are many equally tasty, but more healthy dishes in the world.

In the course of the study, nutritionists tested buffet products - all those cheesecakes, fruit pies, rolls and ... sandwiches that you can heat in the microwave if you want. The results were also surprising. And if a piece chocolate cake predictably "pulled" by 600 kcal, then a sandwich with cheese and meat was packed with calories more than sweet fruit pie, in which about 400 kcal were found. The sandwich turned out to be 500 kcal. “You’ll be surprised,” the researchers said, “when you learn that some of these buffet sandwiches contain far more fat, salt and calories than most big hamburger from McDonald's "" "" s ".

I hope this material will help us to painlessly part with this "product", or at least make our sandwiches less harmful.

For those who don't know: a sandwich is bad.

Firstly, it is dry food, and the stomach will be long and painful to digest such food.

Secondly, the ingredients of the sandwich are solid carbohydrates, preservatives, cholesterol.

But no matter how much you talk about harm, very few people will deny themselves such pleasure.

Since you are eating sandwiches, try to do as little harm to your own body as possible. To begin with, remember: it is better not to mix a sandwich with anything. They shouldn't eat soup, potatoes and meat.

White bread sandwich, what could be more harmful to your stomach? Stop at least on black, and ideally, of course, loaf or wholemeal bread.

A butter sandwich is considered one of the most harmful sandwiches, but if it is also with cheese, then it is generally cholesterol in pure form.

Than easier sandwich, all the better. Style fast food: put sausage on the bun, cheese, ketchup on top, pickle and fresh tomato - will beat off the feeling of hunger for the whole day, but in a month it will successfully lead to an exacerbation of gastritis and weight gain.

Don't be fooled that the vegetables on the sandwich will add health or help you digest this nightmare. Rather, they serve for aesthetics. A cup of cucumber or a sprig of parsley won't give your body the right amount vitamins and will not make the sandwich healthier. So it's healthier to eat our boiled sausage than overseas cucumber.

In the same row - sandwiches with raw smoked sausage, in excess containing preservatives, allergens and tannins.

Boiled sausages, ham contain a lot of carbohydrates and preservatives. Do not despair: sandwiches with these products, of course, are not the most best food, but quite permissible.

The ideal sandwich is with a piece of tongue or boiled meat. The more protein you have on your sandwich, the better your body is. If all this is still put on a loaf, then you can indulge yourself with a sandwich several times a week. There will be no harm.

And the last thing - what to drink. Carbonated waters, beer, juices and instant coffee will only make the sandwich more difficult to digest. The most neutral option is tea. Of course, you need to try to make it sugar-free.

What is the most harmful food? Of course, sandwiches and sandwiches - a combination of bread with butter or fat cheese, meat or bacon - what could be even more nutritious and heavy on the stomach? But such a combination can be found in any cuisine in the world: in Britain we see a sandwich, in the USA - its fellow burger, in Mexico - burrito, in the East - shawarma, in Italy - pizza, but in our latitudes - a sandwich! And even those who sit on proper nutrition, carefully monitors the diet, goes in for sports, can afford such food. Can sandwiches be complete and balanced? What should they be made of? Let's understand in more detail.

Where did the sandwich come from?

The emergence of the sandwich (just under this name) is attributed to the British - Earl John Sandwich the Fourth, who spent hours and even whole days at the card table and ignored full meals. But he wanted to eat, and therefore he taught his servants to bring him, instead of a plate of dishes, a piece of cooked meat sandwiched between slices of bread - so, in fact, he still did not stain his hands with grease, which made it possible not to break away from the card game for give me a sec.

Why are sandwiches considered harmful?

The reputation of all these dishes is rather "tarnished" or, more correctly, just the opposite. It is believed that eating a piece of dry bread with a filling is unhealthy. From childhood we were taught that it is much healthier to eat complete dish with a side dish, or even better - a bowl of soup, warm and rich. In the UK, on \u200b\u200bthe contrary, it is believed that no liquid should be consumed with meals, which is why they so rarely eat soups. Both the first and second statements will be a mistake. Food normally moves through the digestive tract only when it is moistened, but saliva does an excellent job with this under normal conditions.

Another stereotype is the abundance of bread, which is considered very harmful and high in calories. According to many, it contains empty calories, that is, it will not bring any benefit, but only extra pounds. Actually, this is not the case: bread (made from whole grain wheat flour) contains an abundance of fiber, B vitamins, magnesium and phosphorus. Avoiding bread will not guarantee you weight loss; only a calorie deficit in the general diet can do this. And bread is an irreplaceable source of carbohydrates, which are also very necessary.

They also say that bread contains incredibly harmful yeast and gluten, which can cause allergies. Yeast, in fact, is able to positively affect digestive system (if consumed in moderation). If you're so afraid of yeast, here's another one. scientific fact: at high temperatures they (and these are living microorganisms) die and are unable to reproduce further. Still not convinced? Then buy yeast-free bread - fortunately, now there is a large selection of it. And the harm of gluten is completely overgrown with myths: only 7% of the world's population is allergic to it, and 1% have intolerance.

What is the benefit?

By choosing quality bread made from rye or whole grain flour, you will provide your body with an adequate portion of carbohydrates and fiber. It is quickly absorbed, saturating the body with energy. There are not so many calories in an average slice - up to 100 kcal, that's for sure. Therefore, one meal or snack may well consist of sandwiches - it is desirable that such meals be in the morning. It is convenient to take a sandwich with you to work or have a snack for it while you run on business - in a word, in the modern dynamic rhythm of life this is perfect solution... By the way, instead of bread, it is quite possible to take pita, ciabata, lavash, panini, bagels, and even cereal bread, if you really don't trust bread at all.

What to put on a sandwich?

The word "butterbrot" itself means "bread and butter" in German. Indeed, butter can easily be spread on bread or toast in a thin layer. Butter is considered a "rehabilitated" product from harmful to useful, which has an abundance of useful substances for our body. You can use soft cream cheese as a butter substitute, peanut butter, avocado pulp. But it is better not to put purchased sausage on bread - it is much healthier to bake the meat in the oven, cool it and use it, cut into slices, specifically for sandwiches. In general, protein on a sandwich is extremely necessary, and here you can use not only meat, but also fish (especially sea red), as well as eggs (for example, make an omelet specially for sandwiches). Be sure to complement the sandwich with some herbal product - a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato or cucumber, sweet pepper, a slice of onion.
