3 health benefits of eating in small portions

New research analyzes whether it is better to eat little and in large quantities or a lot and in small quantities, focusing mainly on age.

After the age of 40, consuming many small portions throughout the day can improve brain function, including memory and cognitive capacity.

According to nutritionists, there is no simple answer for everyone, the choice depends on individual needs, lifestyle and health goals.

The benefits of small portions

There are several potential benefits to choosing multiple small portions:

1.  Reducing blood sugar fluctuations, as it helps the brain get more stable energy.

2. Improvement in nutrient distribution, as the body can better utilize vitamins and healthy fats.

3. Reducing cognitive fatigue, as eating large portions from time to time can make you feel fuller and less active.

The quality of food, i.e. how you eat and what you eat, is just as important as the number of meals. /CNA
