My colleague wanted to quickly lose weight. And I decided to resort not to newfangled food additives and not to debilitating diets, but to old folk recipes. She began to prepare a variety of kissels. Two weeks later I saw her thinner and younger.
- Every evening instead of dinner I drank a jelly - oats, milk, raspberry and even citrus. And here is the result!
I, perhaps, did not pay much attention to this fact - there are not enough diets in the world, thanks to which women improve the figure! But when another friend of mine, suffering from a liver disease, told me that thanks to apple jelly it was almost cured, involuntarily became thoughtful. Lose weight by consuming starchy foods? Cure the liver with apple jelly? .. Fantastic! How can you not remember a fairytale country with milk rivers and hosel shores!
However, after thinking over what was told to me, I understood: nothing extraordinary or surprising happened in either case. The mechanism of therapeutic action of kissels on the body is easy to explain. The starch, which is part of the kissels, starts the processes of intensive removal of salts from the body, mainly sodium chloride. Starch is capable of absorbing and removing from the body not only salts, but also other harmful substances accumulated in it. This is especially useful for obesity, osteochondrosis of the spine, hypertension, kidney failure, liver disease, cholesterol-clogged heart vessels, poorly healing skin diseases, even in malignant tumors.
