Irga is found in suburban areas, but not often. But this berry is very useful, due to its composition. Therefore, in the season it is very desirable to include it in the menu if you adhere to proper nutrition.

How to use a berry with proper nutrition?

What is rich in irgi? The berry contains a lot of valuable substances from vitamins to volatile and flavonols. There are a lot of vitamins C, P and group B in berries. There are pectins, organic acids, sterols, fiber, phytosterols, tannins, anthocyanins, phytoncides, fatty oils, dietary fiber. And the fruits contain micro and macro elements, including such rare ones as lead and cobalt. At the same time, there are practically no proteins and fats in the berries.

How to eat a berry with proper nutrition? Of course, it will be most useful to consume fresh irga. If it’s not interesting to eat berries just like that, you can prepare various desserts and drinks. If you want to keep the berry for the winter, you can freeze or dry the fruit. Naturally, like other berries, irgu can be used to prepare the filling for pies. But such food will be more high-calorie, so often it is not worth eating, especially if you want to lose weight.

It is very important that you need to consume irga moderately. Adults need only 250 g of berries per day or even a little less. The fact is that excessive consumption of berries can lead to a decrease in pressure, loss of strength and drowsiness (the berry has a strong calming effect). You should not combine a berry with milk, kefir, yogurt and cottage cheese, as the occurrence of diarrhea and bloating is possible. A handful of berries per day is enough for children.

A short diet, designed for three days, has a meager menu. Only berries, vegetables and cottage cheese are allowed. At the same time, it is worth remembering that cottage cheese and irga cannot be combined. Of course, a feeling of hunger will not occur, but you should not stick to such a diet for a long time. 

The diet menu may be as follows:

• in the morning: cottage cheese and green tea;
• snack: irga;
• lunch: vegetable soup, stew and berries;
• afternoon snack: salad;
• dinner: baked vegetables.

There is a long diet. It is designed for ten days. During this diet, it is allowed to eat all healthy foods, as with proper nutrition. Baking, sweets, fatty foods, processed foods are prohibited. As for the irgi, you can drink stewed fruit, fruit drinks, juices or just eat berries during snacks. In addition, you can add fruit to dairy-free cereals or make smoothies.

The diet menu should be composed as follows:

• breakfast: oatmeal on the water with irga, compote;
• snack: smoothie with irga and other fruits;
• lunch: vegetable soup, baked fish, salad, fruit drink;
• afternoon tea: half a glass of berry;
• dinner: cottage cheese casserole with apples, tea.

There are many ways to create a menu. The main thing is that the diet is balanced and complete, and of course, that the berries should be on the menu.
