About tasty, but harmful foods

For most of us the power only healthy foods - the situation is practically impossible. It is very hard to resist the pleasure of a tasty meal. And in order not to strain your willpower too, it makes sense to explore: what products are more harmful than others?

Maybe the list is not so big? Many people, in response to allegations of harmfulness of a particular food is much much love to give something like "to live at all bad."

And to think again, man must acquire pancreatitis or some metabolic diseases - when fully restore health has little chance. So why not take care of themselves even minimally?

It is not so hard to eliminate from your diet the six food groups.

In sixth place in our "black list" can be put mayonnaise.

Few would argue with the fact that the mayonnaise - it's bad. It contains a lot of fat, and thus are often absorbed in large quantities. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the liver and the pancreas can not cope with the load. And fat can currently recalled.

However, most people believe that fat - it's the only harmful component mayonnaise. They love to buy "light" mayonnaise, and consider it a healthy product. I can assure you that's not true. "Light" mayonnaise produced on the basis of modified vegetable oils - trans fats.

These molecules are not found elsewhere in nature and appear only as a product of the chemical modification of vegetable oil. They are in margarine, "easy oil" and "light" mayonnaise. They are usually referred to as "high-quality vegetable fat". Trans fats are almost split our enzymes.

Therefore, they are much more effective than regular animal fat to accumulate in the body. As a result - the "American disease" obesity, atherosclerosis, and other metabolic disorders. In addition, any mayonnaise contains emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, preservatives. All this does not improve the health of lovers of mayonnaise.

Fifth place is occupied by the right meats and sausages.

The procedure for processing means smoking meat or fish with smoke. Any smoke contains large amounts of phenols and other carcinogenic substances. That is - substances that cause cancer. It is known that the use of smoked products significantly increases the risk of tumors.

Food prepared on coals without smoke (eg, properly cooked barbecue), in this sense smoked a lot safer: sturgeon, sausages, smoked fish. Add to carcinogens more flavor enhancers and preservatives (also provide the meat and juicy sausages characteristic red color) - and get extremely malosedobny product.

Even worse situation is with dogs, sausages, and other doctoral sausage. They include meat may not be. But there is a cellulose as a basis, "a high-quality vegetable protein" (ie, transgenic soybeans), "high-quality vegetable oil" (ie, trans fats), and full "gentleman's set of" flavors, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers and preservatives .

Fourth place I would give chewing and other "child" candy.

After all, it is - just masterpieces of the chemical industry. There is nothing natural, except sugar. And if the sweet "diet", then the sugar either. The solid chemistry: colors, flavors, sweeteners, gelling agent.

Read the composition - how many unfamiliar words and mysterious alphanumeric designations. This product could be appreciated to take first place blacklist.

Fortunately, these candies if they eat, it is usually in small amounts - in contrast to the upper triple our "hit parade", which will be discussed next time.

Fasting days: rest of the food

Fasting days - not such a new invention. The pioneers in this difficult task has been, perhaps, the australopithecines. Each time they had to go to bed hungry, they thought about the benefits of fasting days for body and soul ...

But seriously, the fasting days came in dietetics fashion of nutrition therapy (forgive me for such a bold classification). Initially fasting days were used by doctors in the treatment of various diseases - and give a tangible effect.

Now, "those days" - a good way to keep a thin waist and keep the weight. Now, for you to choose from - thousands of different variations of how to unload, from simple ones to particularly perverse. Fasting days are "mono" - is only one product (apples, shrimp, meat) or "mix" (cabbage with cucumbers, cheese and yogurt).

Based on the product chosen for unloading, all fasting days can be divided into several categories:

1. carbohydrate.

This may include, and vegetable, and fruit, and suhofruktovye days. Even cereals, as you like. One of the variations of carbohydrate of the day - the "raw" day. On such a day is recommended to eat only salads of raw vegetables - carrots, beets, cabbage, radish, green (1.5 kg of mixture per day).

No salt, no oil. It can be a little bit of lemon juice. But such a day - especially for the brave. The cleaning effect of it is simply amazing.

2. Protein:

Meat, milk, kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese, fish. The basic principle: no carbs, low water. As a side dish (well, it is clear that to meat, fish), you can use a few leaves of lettuce. On discharge day protein relies not more than 400 grams of meat, fish or 600 grams, or 1.5 liters of milk / yogurt / yogurt.

Among the great protein-proven milk a day - and easily, and effectively. Take half a liter of milk fat middle, divided into seven to eight servings, drink throughout the day. Before going to bed portion can be warmed. From water to this day refuse to recommend.

3. "Liquid" days.

There are based on juice, fruit drinks, broth. If you choose to juice a day, remember to use only fresh juices. At what is desirable not to fruit and vegetables.

Excellent day passes based on compote - Boil a kilo of apples in two liters of water. Without sugar, you can add quite a bit of honey. Among the concoctions leader, no doubt, hips: brew in a thermos cup hips two liters of water. Drink throughout the day. Better - through a straw.

The perfect cleanser for people with digestive problems - fasting day   based broth of prunes. 250-300 grams of prunes and two liters of water, prokipevshie together for fifteen minutes and drunk in small portions during the day, give your body an unprecedented ease.

Remember that the fasting day does not begin suddenly, it is necessary to prepare. The night before, give up dinner drink on the night of soothing herbal decoction, take a warm bath. Be prepared for the fact that tomorrow you will - to unload.

To the unloading process was easy, there are a few recommendations.

Occupy yourself with something for the whole day. So you will be less hungry. Go to bed early - will not be tempted to plunder the fridge.

As suggested by the practice of tens of thousands of empty, the best days for unloading - Tuesday and Friday. If you choose to unload once a week, then - the environment. One of the highlights: fluid intake.

Try during the fasting day to drink more water (of course, when it is not explicitly prohibited by the rules of the day discharge) - pure, unsweetened, non-carbonated. Just water. And remember: do not drink water immediately after a meal, and less than half an hour before. But, as in all these matters need to know when to stop.

In diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys give up meat, dairy and juice days, ulcers and disorders of the intestine - do not approach "raw", diseases of the cardiovascular system - monitor the fluid intake.

What to eat to grow wiser

Spring. That it is warm, then freeze. That the sun, the fog.

Accordingly, the excitement, the depression. Attention weakened, drowsiness, confusion, I want to stare at one point ... I guess about a state of popular wisdom says: "Look at the book to see ..."

Correctly guessed. But mental work has not been canceled, while pupils and students coming exam to go, it's time to focus, to deepen knowledge. What to do? Well, about the exercise we all know, but most of us are too lazy to carry them out. In such a case remain walks.

And at this time should be especially serious approach to nutrition.

Do not start the morning with coffee. Of course, coffee invigorates, but if you drink it badeykami, the effect is opposite to the expected. The body just gets tired constantly come to the tone of the loading dose of caffeine. It resembles a horse, which is beating the whip - as well as the goal for long.

Even the tea in the spring - not the best solution. Start the morning with a glass of rose hips, herbal tea. Add in the usual tea and propolis drops of orange oil. You can cook a healthy dessert: a glass of cranberry and one grapefruit mince, add 2-4 tablespoons of honey (who he loves) and within a month there with tea in the morning. The breakfast is good to start with yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons of cottage cheese with a teaspoon of honey.

A handful of dried fruits also help to feel fit and healthy. For example, dates can successfully replace candy for tea. It dates compulsorily included in the menu of centenarians. They relieve fatigue, increase efficiency. In ancient Egypt, the pyramid builders were given dates. During exams, and just in the process of mental work to help focus dates.

Raisins no less sweet. It strengthens the nervous system. In it a lot of manganese and iron. Dried apricots strengthens the heart and prevents excess fat postponed. The normal level of hemoglobin in the blood supports the iron contained therein.

Prunes - a wonderful antidepressant, it chases away the blues and cheerless thoughts, increases resistance to stress and immunity. It is called the first prunes the content of antioxidants. It supports cardiac system in case of overload. Utility and other dried fruits because they contain vitamins, so necessary to us in the spring.

Throw burgers, forget the road to McDonald's in the toilet bowl and drain the noodles and semi-finished puree. People for a long time eating canned food and other "benefits" of civilization, suffering from a lack of vitamin B. Lack of this vitamin it leads to depression and desire to do nothing. His own lack of it - is one of the main causes of insecurity, increased shyness, nervousness.

If you do not shake hands, then rejoice. Many vitamin dry brewer's yeast. But beer lovers will be disappointed - as a part of the beer for the benefit of the body of vitamin does not fire. But in the natural bread kvass it works best. There he is in the liver, kidneys, lettuce, spinach. So that all useful knowledge workers eat grass ...

Equally important is vitamin C. When it is the lack of people complain of fatigue. Vegetables, fruits, vegetables, berries help make up for the lack of it. Doctors advise to press the cabbage. Salads from it relieve tension, nervousness and help pass the exams for good grades.

Storehouse of vitamin C in the world recognized as rose. Brew 1 tablespoon. rosehip spoon cup boiling water, you will provide your body with vitamin C for the whole day. Juices in this respect most preferred citrus. By the way, the lemon is refreshing thoughts and improves the perception of information. A glass of lemon juice a day will help to cope with any load.

If resources permit, it bought a pineapple. He is a good friend of brain activity. And of course, do not forget the carotene contained in carrots public, ensuring an excellent memory. Only need to eat carrots with vegetable oil or sour cream. Vitamin A (carotene) is fat-soluble.

Bilberry improves not only vision, but also cerebral circulation. And eaten once a day, half the bulbs will improve the supply of oxygen to the brain. If you want every day to exclaim: "Eureka!", Then drink tea cumin 2 teaspoons of crushed seeds per cup of boiling water.

Support a good mood will help bananas and calm night - mint tea. But vitamins in pill form considered unsafe for your health.

So it is better to eat regular svekolku, carrots, cabbage, onions.

Not forgetting the proteins that our body is unable to form their own. Complete proteins are found in meat, fish, eggs, milk, bread, potatoes, soybeans ... To maintain health and good shape and we need carbohydrates.

So-called slow carbohydrates - bread, pasta, potatoes - the body needs time. Of particular biological value is rye bread. But fast carbohydrates - sugar, sweets, pechёnosti - in a large number of pests, as it increases blood cholesterol levels and thereby impair memory sleepy at the wrong time.

Do not do without high-grade fatty acids, found in fish - herring, mackerel, tuna, halibut, salmon. A piece of herring with green or onions, seasoned with vegetable oil, in company with boiled potatoes - a good lunch or dinner for the student and the knowledge worker.

However, excess body fat leads to a dramatic deterioration in the glucose assimilation by the body, which is the main energy source for brain cells.
