The nutritionist told how to increase metabolism with the help of potatoes

Potatoes can help increase metabolism, says German nutritionist Rainer Matejka from the Malteser Clinic in Bad Bruckenau. For this, he recommends arranging a "potato" unloading day once a week.

Increased metabolism promotes more active consumption of fats in the body for energy production. Thanks to this, you can lose excess weight, maintain a slim figure with age.

The nutritionist said that you can increase your metabolism with the help of unloading days - at least one a week. The expert considers potatoes to be one of the suitable products for this.

"First of all, on such a day it is important to give up your usual diet, to do without sausage, cheese, meat, and sweets," the nutritionist emphasized.

Along with potatoes, according to the expert, you can use linseed oil on the unloading day. It is very important to drink enough liquid - water, unsweetened teas.

Another variant of the unloading day: vegetables in combination with nut butter.

But the nutritionist warned: in the presence of inflammatory bowel diseases, it is necessary to practice unloading days with extreme caution and only after consulting a doctor.
