How to be? Is it possible in the summer to be content with chemist's vitamins and bioadditives, denying yourself "living" vitamins and trace elements - after all, in the garden beds grows the simple benefits of berries, vegetables, fruits? So much for health and beauty! Do not be upset. But it is not necessary to expose the weak, unhealthy digestive system to cruel trials. We need to find our "golden mean" and act competently.
First of all, it is worthwhile in advance to prepare your sick stomach by the summer. When do you often have exacerbations? That's right, early spring and autumn. Therefore, doctors strongly recommend such patients on the eve of the expected exacerbation to conduct a special anti-relapse treatment. And then by the summer your stomachs will be in "full combat readiness." But if the relapse occurred during the harvest season (and this happens quite often after the first strawberry, the early currant from the heart)? Well, it is necessary at this time to exclude from the diet all berries and raw vegetables. However, fresh juices from carrots, spinach and celery with a small amount of cream are shown even with exacerbation of peptic ulcer, colitis, gastritis. They do not cause painful gas formation.
After exacerbation under the beneficial effects of mucous porridges, potato juice and herbal decoctions will subside, you can gradually introduce into your diet greens, berries, raw vegetables and fruits. In this case, one must adhere to simple rules:
• fruits are themselves in the intervals between meals;
• vegetables - separately from cereals, with beans and peas only in small portions;
• weak stomachs are easier to digest fruits in the mornings and evenings, and eat them before meals, and not after.
Our task is not only to save the digestive system, but also to improve the general condition of the body, to strengthen immunity. Summer provides a unique opportunity to saturate the body with natural microelements directly from the beds - calcium, iodine, silicon, sodium. Taking care of your stomach, you can not forget about the initial benefits of berries, vegetables and fruits.
Calcium
Vegetable sources of calcium - whole grains, beet tops, broccoli, Brussels, white cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, cherry, turnip, dandelion, greens, etc. A great source of natural calcium is green onions. In his fun sticking arrows, it would seem, just the various useful substances are swarming. The beginning of July is the harvest time of green onions. He grew up handsome, the arrows are juicy, bright. Easy to prepare: pick, wash, dry and finely chop. Fold in bags and freeze. You can also do with the arrows of garlic. Doctors-nutritionists in general supporters of freezing and drying of green and spicy crops. There is a saying that onions save from seven ailments, but a fresh onion can deliver and a lot of trouble. But the dried or frozen - the stomach takes without problems. In summer, fresh salad onion, you can pre-burn with boiling water.
Another great source of calcium is cherry. Cherry fruits are rich in vitamins C, B1, B2, E, PP. They contain, in addition to calcium and other valuable mineral substances - iron (necessary to support the processes of hematopoiesis and respiration of tissues), potassium (for the removal of excess water) and others. And thanks to the anthocyanins and anthocyanides contained in the cherry plant pigments, braking of the inflammatory processes and the restoration of connective tissue takes place. So the body has a rejuvenating effect. The fruits of the cherry are low in calories, besides a number of substances contained in them bind and remove toxins from the body, neutralizes fats that have entered the intestine. At the height of the season, when there are many cherries everywhere, it is useful to conduct a cherry treatment. Every day, use it fresh or add to various dishes. Fresh cherries are able to regulate the process of digestion, eliminate the problem of constipation.
Iodine
Iodine is an amazing microelement, the source of our intellect. As you know, the Russian land is depleted of iodine, and in order for this trace element to fall into the fruit of garden plants, it is necessary to make proper and timely fertilizing. Eggplant, turnip and fruit, rutabaga, blueberry, mustard salad, rucola salad, zucchini, Brussels sprouts, strawberry and strawberry, onion, chard, carrot, cucumber, pepper have a good ability to saturate with iodine from the soil.
Strawberries and strawberries contain quite a lot of ascorbic acid, folic acid, iron, iodine. All this together can have a curative effect for people with anemia, rheumatism, neurasthenia. These berries are also effective in cases of gastritis, rickets, periodontitis, eczema, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, stomatitis. Take for a rule in the summer to brush your teeth not with paste, but with strawberries. The teeth will be white, and forget about the periodontal disease and unpleasant odor from the mouth. Strawberries and strawberries with milk, sour cream or cream practically do not cause a negative reaction in people who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract in a period without exacerbations. Caution should be given only to small children - diathesis may occur.
Silicon
If we want to say about someone that he is very old, we say the phrase: "Yes, it already pours sand ..." But in these words there is some truth: in older people, the body begins to rapidly lose silicon. By the way, oatmeal is a wonderful source of silicon. It is silicon that positively affects the cerebral cortex, especially the part that thinks and analyzes. But for the assimilation of silicon it is necessary to lead a mobile way of life and work in the open air. Silicon prevents osteoporosis and promotes the absorption of calcium. It is in the form of silicon benefits of many berries, fruit vegetables. Natural sources of silicon: turnip beets and beets, cherry, leaf mustard, kohlrabi, white cabbage and cauliflower, strawberries, strawberries, onions, cucumbers, rucola salad, lettuce, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, ripe tomatoes, horseradish, spinach.
Especially a lot of silicon in the cucumber grass - borago. Fortunately, it is not difficult to raise her to a dacha. Just a month after planting, you can safely harvest. From the leaves of borago make additives for salad, vinaigrette, okroshki, cold borsch. By the way, the green salad with borago is digested better. Try it yourself! Scientists have concluded that fresh cucumber grass (as a seasoning) and its juice contribute to improving performance, improving mood, reducing depression, a sense of relief during heart weakness on the nerves.
Sodium
Sodium, we with you most often use as a common table salt. As you know, sodium is necessary for normal digestion, and in the human body its largest source is saliva. It is mixed with food during meals and allows it to be better absorbed, so doctors advise you to chew food for a long time and thoroughly. By the way, during the heat and if you are in love, the body increases the production of "own" sodium. And if you are constantly angry, quick-tempered and irritable, then sodium is redoubled with urine. When sodium is not enough, the nerves are at the limit, the ability to think and focus is low and a greater predisposition to heat shocks occurs. What to do? No, do not overeat the food! It is better to eat sodium-rich cabbage white and Brussels, broccoli, dried pears, radish, chard, strawberries, celery, spinach, lettuce.
Permanent registration in many cottages was given to celery, and this is correct. Cultivation of root celery is a rather complicated matter, but with leaves and petioles there are practically no problems. And it's nothing, that its taste and smell are a little bit harsh. But the benefit of it is simply invaluable! Each leaflet is a storehouse of useful substances. Along with ascorbic acid and carotene in celery, there are many B and PR vitamins that are responsible for the firmness of the nervous system, fresh skin, an uninterrupted heart, intestines and respiration of tissues. Quite a bit in it and mineral salts - potassium, calcium, phosphorus, sodium. All of them carry the health of the cardiovascular system, muscles and bones. Celery, especially its tubers, can even cope with diabetes, because it contains the content of insulin-related bioactive compounds. However, its main advantage is the possession of an anti-inflammatory, diuretic action, that is, it can help the body to get rid of the final products of metabolism, permanently retaining youth and health. Similar to the vitamin and mineral composition with celery, lettuce, rucola and watercress. They also contain rutin, which helps to strengthen the walls of blood vessels. But there is one drawback - they can not be procured for future use. It is necessary to eat only fresh, otherwise the benefits will disappear.
Specialists highly recommend the cultivation of a ruku, helping the work of the gastrointestinal tract, soothing the shattered nervous system and improving sleep. Some do it in the greenhouse (to accelerate growth), each week sowing a new one. Rukola gives off a spicy aroma and is very tasty in a salad with a pear, grapes and some cheese. Refueling for this salad can be made from wine vinegar, olive oil or mayonnaise, and sprinkle with fried seeds on top, after cleaning them.
Nutritionists advise: to gain confidence that you will receive the necessary benefits of berries, vegetables, fruits, you need to adhere to a simple rule. On the table should always be served vegetables and fruits of four colors: orange, dark green, red and yellow. When you need to eat plants with tops, to minimize the unpleasant consequences for the stomach, subject them to short-term heat treatment, rinse with cold water and make salads. In addition, never mix vegetables and fruits in one dish, this mixture contributes to increased gas production. Summer life is not a battle, when you must not spare your belly. It's just a life in which you need to protect not only the stomach, but the whole body.
