Nuts are perfect for an evening snack. Only 30 g of almonds, cashews, walnuts, or pistachios contains 36% of the daily allowance of vitamin E, 13% of the daily recommended amount of fiber, 4 g of protein, as well as B vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, and magnesium.

Ginger is an ideal choice for those who are losing weight. The fact is that the ginger root contains essential oils that speed up metabolism and promote the breakdown of fats. And ginger tea also helps to curb appetite.
Making ginger tea is very simple: take a small peeled root, cut into thin strips, pour hot water, add a little honey and lemon juice to taste. Allow the drink to infuse for 10-15 minutes.
