According to the specialist, one should stop consuming sugar, which he called “the silent killer.”

It is necessary to add plant foods to the diet, in particular lentils, peas, nuts and chickpeas, which contain the necessary nutrients, proteins and carbohydrates for the body.

Lebens stressed that it is necessary to ensure that the person does not overeat. To do this, eat slowly and use smaller plates. According to the doctor, it takes about 20 minutes for the intestines to tell the brain that you are full.
