In pursuit of beauty people get into a vicious circle. Traditional food can cause obesity, and diet - cause depression, mental and physical exhaustion.
For example, The rejection of bread could lead to shortages of vitamin B1 and iron with all the ensuing consequences for health. Is there any way out? Is it possible to simultaneously maintain a slim figure and stay healthy as possible?
Let's try to come to a decision by a simple logical. Statistics the average life expectancy in developed countries suggests that Russians live 12 years less than the Europeans and 8 - Poles.
What are we doing wrong? It turns out that we have some, but very significant differences in food culture. So, for example, in our understanding of the salad - it's thick mayonnaise incongruous mix of boiled vegetables, meat and fish (Olivier, "Mimosa", "coat").
And in the minds of Europeans salad - it poltazika fresh vegetables with olive oil. And no other interpretations. Saw for myself during a visit to northern Italy.
50% of vegetables per serving
Can a salad of fresh vegetables to be the most important reason that Europeans are less sick and live longer? In my opinion, it can! Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are present in its most natural form fresh.
They are absorbed much better than tablets vitaminok. Besides fresh vegetables - it is almost the only source of fiber, which helps us to be cleaned of toxins.
Without harmful substances begin to accumulate and cause chronic poisoning of the body, which ultimately leads to poor health.
And now the main thing: salads not only help to maintain health, but also contribute to weight loss. Vegetables are low in calories, but they fill a useful place in the stomach, which could otherwise be occupied by a high-calorie and less useful products.
Getting into the digestive tract, fiber swells and creates a pleasant feeling of satiety. Therefore, we recommend using a simple rule: if you want something tasty, do not torment yourself with doubts, eat, but add to that the same number of servings of fresh vegetables (potatoes do not count - it's the only of first class and high-calorie vegetable that should be eaten sparingly ).
And then you do not have to strictly limit yourself to products - you just can not eat too much. Of course, do not forget that cakes and pastries jam vegetables is not worth it.
Helpful but ...
Vegetables and fruits are certainly useful, but with the proviso that they are fresh, not contain nitrates, pesticides and processed any chemistry. In large supermarket chains have a system of control marketed vegetables to safety.
We asked how such a test is carried out. According to sales assistants vegetable sections in supermarkets, on admission to the supermarket vegetables must pass several levels of control.
They are not accepted, if they are not accompanied by documents confirming tested for toxic elements (lead, mercury, arsenic), nitrates, pesticides and radionuclides. And for a restaurant chain, as "McDonalds", vegetables are grown specifically to order manufacturer, having passed tender for compliance with Russian and international quality standards.
