4. What is the suitable time to do physical training?

Early morning is a suitable time to do physical training. Physical activity in the morning contributes to burn a good ratio of fats, since the glycogen level (which is the engine to stimulate muscles) is relatively low, after a long sleeping night. Thus the morning physical exercises depend on the capacity of the calories taken from the fat storage in the body   

5. What is the importance of eating in a slow manner?

People who eat slowly consume fewer calories than who eat in a fast manner, since the brain needs 20 minutes to receive a signal from the stomach that the person has had enough food. Whatever you consume from food within these 20 minutes the brain will not receive any sign that satisfies his/her appetite, therefore consuming more food will lead to the accumulation of fats and causes obesity   

6. What are the advantages of quick frying the food?

One of the best ways to prepare food after boiling and grilling is quick frying using low fat frying oil. Thus, the food will have high and quick thermal heat and at the same time will preserve all its nutrients. More over the food will absorb low amount of fats, since the outer layer of the food will close its holes quickly due to the extreme heat especially during the beginning of the frying process, the food of which will consequently lead to the inner parts of the food to be cooked because of the available steam. And since it’s being cooked quickly it will not lose much vitamins and minerals
