Science, astrology, psychology and historical experience proved that it is impossible to make all people happy using the same method. By the way, this also concerns health, and an example with owls-larks proves this. And nutrition, as a base of health, should be different, appropriate for each individual. Let’s ask experts about details

It’s beyond doubt that all of us are different. And although, in general, we need the same: international peace and some personal happiness, we have different opinions in details. For example, owls and larks. The things that are good for an owl’s happiness and health are an absolute horror for a lark. Science, astrology, psychology and historical experience proved that it is impossible to make all people happy using the same method. By the way, this also concerns health, and an example with owls-larks proves this. And nutrition, as a base of health, should be different, appropriate for each individual. Let’s ask experts about details.
1. Food in the view of psychology and biology
People over 7 y.o. are divided into owls and larks. Psychologists and doctors worked out recommendations for both types. Hunger submits to biorhythms: larks have higher appetite in the first half of a day, owls - in the second. Treat your organism with love and eat when you want, not restricting yourself in food or overfeeding yourself. If you worry about your health, switch to separate nutrition: eat small portions 4-5 times per day, and then food will be better assimilated.
Owls should definitely have a supper. In the morning don’t forget about vitamins, especially A, C and B group, and in the evening - remember about magnesium and calcium to make your nervous system stronger. It’s better to take proteins in the afternoon, and in the morning juices, fruits and sour milk products will be good. During night activity don’t forget about glucose and carbohydrates. Unlike owls, larks can digest proteic breakfast, for example, omelet, and supper, let us suppose, containing carbohydrates. While breakdown, according a doctor’s recommendation, you can take adaptogenes (Eleuterococus, Echinacea, vitamin C etc.).
By the way, results of researches show that owls catch cold less frequently, but suffer from chronic diseases more often. Hence we make a conclusion: larks should take more immune-stimulant food, containing vitamins (vegetables-fruits and sour milk produce), and owls should consult a doctor as for better way of nutrition, considering their health problems.
Psychologists, biologists and doctors divide people not only according to biorhythms, but also according to types of temperament - choleric subjects, melancholiacs, sanguine persons and phlegmatic persons.
And there’s individual system of nutrition for each type.
Choleric and sanguine persons should eat: spices - coriander, fennel, cinnamon, celery, seeds (pumpkin and sunflower), rhubarb, raisins, prunes, olives and mushrooms.
Fruits: black grapes, sweet apples, pears, plums, pomegranate, figs, pine-apple, melon.
Vegetables: green peas, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, marrows, cucumbers, cauliflower, turnip, young potato, spinach, little - tomatoes, pea, haricot, beans (not lentil).
Cereals: white and grey bread, semolina and oatmeal, noodles, macaroni.
Groats: barley, rice.
Oils: unsalted butter, olive, soy.
Dairy produce: cotton cheese, milk.
Meat: mutton, beef, chicken, turkey, goose.
Fish: herring, sea, lake and river.
If a choleric or sanguine person is rather healthy, he should eat: onion, garlic (without misuse, better with oil, in vinaigrette, cutlets), pork (seldom), sour milk (a glass in the evening), sausage (seldom), lemon (in tea), sour apples, cabbage (little), carrot (in salads), water-melon (not every day), honey (with tea).
Sanguine persons usually have good appetite and digestion, hence their disposition for overeating. This type is also characterized by addiction to sweets. The main is not to exceed norm during a meal. Choleric persons also like eating, indeed, they gain weight slowly, due to their activity. If this still happened, choleric become panic-stricken and try to get rid of it quickly. These are persons who fall preys to “quick” diets and weight loss pills. However, it is easy for them to lose weight due to their activity: it’s enough to avoid fat food, sugar and confectionery, and stress on greens and
vegetable salads.
Paramedics affirm that sanguine and choleric persons should eat salads, cooked of green in raw form. It is better for them to eat warm or cold soups (vegetable and fruit soups). In short, food with cooling qualities is ideal fir them.
Phlegmatic and melancholic persons should eat: spices - cloves, cinnamon, ginger, saffron, caraway, bay leaf, red and black pepper, mustard, horse-radish, green tea, raisins, prunes, dried fruits, rhubarb, nuts (little), mushrooms, olives (little), celery, parsley, onion, garlic.
Sweets: honey.
Fruits: apples, pears, pomegranate, persimmon, berries (especially wild), apricots, cherries.
Vegetables: Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, marrows, carrot, egg-plants, young potato, garden radish, spinach, beet, young radish, turnip, peas, lentil.
Grain-crops: semolina, noodles, macaroni, millet, oatmeal cookie (not oatmeal porridge), buckwheat (little), corn, rice (little), and also egg yolk.
Meat: mutton, young beef, beef liver, chicken.
Fish: freshly-salted herring (soaked in water), sea fish, roe.
Oil: melted butter, unsalted butter, sunflower-seed oil, corn oil (little).
Cheese: any, but fresh one.
Sour milk products (reasonably): goat’s milk, brynza.
Adipose tissue prevails in phlegmatic persons’ organisms, so they have slowed metabolism, and steady good and rather good appetite, with increased inclination to sweets. So a necessity of rational nutrition - first of all concerns phlegmatic persons. Paramedics say that food with heating qualities is appropriate for them.
As a rule, melancholic persons are slim, but, due to their “weak” temperament, they often run to extremes: gluttony gives place to long starvation, and carbohydrates serve as a remedy against stresses. These people’s task is to regulate schedule of nutrition. Melancholic person, who has “cold” temperament, needs heating products, such as pickled cucumbers and tomatoes, sauerkraut. Soups are recommended only in hot form - cabbage, vegetable and salt soups are preferred.
