Cosa fare se non hai appetito

Ecco alcuni suggerimenti che possono aiutarti se non hai appetito:

• Presenta il cibo in modo invitante.
• Mangia diversi spuntini di piccole dimensioni anziché pochi pasti abbondanti.
• Mangia lentamente e mastica bene.
• Prova piatti tiepidi o freddi.
• Evita cibi difficili da digerire o che causano flatulenza.
• Cucina a fuoco lento, con poca acqua di cottura e a basse temperature.
• Scegli alimenti non processati.
• Se il loro odore ti sembra sgradevole, evita le spezie forti.
• Riempi la dispensa per essere sempre pronto se ti torna l’appetito.
• Mangia molte proteine: carne, pesce, tofu, uova, latticini e alimenti integrali.
• Prova pietanze amare, possono stimolare l’appetito.
• Evita di usare posate di plastica che aumentano i sapori metallici.
