Everyone knows: the human body can not function fully without the main components: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. However, it is also important which products supply these substances to the body. Pay attention to the foods that you eat daily. Are there enough fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, greens, seafood among them? For breakfast, coffee with a sandwich - or yogurt, cereal, fruit? Pasta with gravy - or a hot soup, a piece of low-fat meat with vegetables for lunch? .. Do you have the bulk of your meals for up to 18 hours - or do you come home from work "once and for all" with a frying pan of fried potatoes and herring? Do you often allow yourself "gastronomic excesses" like fatty, smoked, salty, fried foods? If you answer yes to most of the questions about malnutrition, then be ready for an early visit to the gastroenterologist. Our stomach for a long time is able to work in extreme conditions, but once his patience comes to an end.
Where does immunity live?
With regular violation of the rules of healthy eating, you may experience digestive problems. First - a small discomfort during or after a meal, a feeling of heaviness in the stomach; then - digestive disorders, suddenly rolling up nausea. It is very possible that these symptoms indicate intestinal dysbiosis - an unpleasant condition that develops due to various causes, one of which is the errors in the diet. The essence of it is that gradually the normal intestinal microflora is replaced by pathological, pathogenic. In this case, it is necessary to correct the intestinal background with the help of preparations of a group of probiotics, such as linex, etc. And it is better to do this with the first symptoms of discomfort, without waiting for the pathogenic microorganisms to occupy the intestine. In this case, more serious health problems are possible, down to a decrease in immunity, because about 80% of substances responsible for the proper functioning of the immune system are produced precisely in the intestine!
Roast-parim-cook
Important for preventing problems with digestion, and for health in general, is how you prepare meals: fry, boil, stew, bake or cook on a pair or on a grill. People who monitor their health, know that fried is harmful to the body. In the process of frying, the so-called stable fats are converted into trans fats, which pose a threat to the cardiovascular system and can be carcinogens. In the process of frying, the absolute majority of oils decompose into chemical compounds, which can lead to the development of neurologic disorders of a degenerative nature, and also increase the risk of developing cancer. In addition, the harmful substances aldehydes are volatile, that is, during the frying process they rise into the air, penetrate the person's airways. If the oil has already been used, it can not be reused, because re-heated oil contains a huge concentration of aldehydes. Of course, we will not say that once eaten a piece of roasted meat will cause irreparable harm to the body. However, if you love fried foods, it is worth considering how to minimize the harm it causes the body. The easiest way is to stop using oil. But ... how can you fry meat, fish, vegetables without getting embers at the exit? The answer is simple: use a dish like a chain-cleaner, specially designed to make food in its own juice, without adding oil. Dishes cooked in such dishes, allow you to save the maximum of useful substances and natural taste of products. For the same reason, you can minimize the amount of salt in the cooking process or even refuse to use it. Try to cook your favorite dish on a similar dish - you will be surprised how unfamiliar the true taste of pork chop or fish steak can be!
The truth in wine?
Often our meals are accompanied by the reception of alcoholic beverages. The occasion for libations can be a festive feast, business negotiations, a friendly meeting, and just a desire to relax after a busy day. We will not, like the Ministry of Health, warn about the dangers of alcohol. In small quantities, alcoholic beverages can even be beneficial to health. So, drinking a glass of red dry wine daily, you lower the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood, prevent the development of type 2 diabetes, normalize the glucose level, etc. However, unfortunately, very few people are limited to one glass of wine. If the morning effects of the party are not reflected in the best way on the state of health, it makes sense to resort to the help of a tried and tested remedy like Alka-Seltzer, so that the headache, thirst, discomfort did not violate your plans for a new day. *** Summing up what has been said, let's note: the old wisdom "The man is what he eats" has not lost relevance in our days. If you expand it somewhat and say "The man is what he eats, drinks and how he does it," you can significantly improve your well-being - and the quality of life in general.
