I personally don't know what to do with it. Here, the salvation of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves. If you don’t want to know what and how you can feed yourself, and what and how you can’t, then go to the hospital, or immediately to the cemetery. Realistically, that's right. It has already become impossible to rely on the experience and common sense of mankind. The point of no return seems to have been passed.

Since mankind switched to white flour, margarine and artificial yeast, common sense no longer works. Margarine, as a purely synthetic product, clouds the mind. And yeast, as an alien form of life (in fact, a monster), is built into the body and controls the mind so that you want to eat exactly what the monster needs.

For reference: White flour is cooking taken to the point of absurdity. The most valuable thing in grains is in the germ and shell. White flour of the highest grade is obtained by cleaning wheat grains from the shell and germ.

Thus, everything valuable is removed, and only the dead part, consisting mainly of starch, remains. The liver becomes clogged with oil-like mass, starch settles in the body in the form of mucus, the intestinal walls become clogged with plaque.

Margarine and spread (trans fats) are made from refined second-pressed vegetable oil, which is produced using chemical solvents. The refined oil is then heated and hydrogenated by passing hydrogen through it.

The result is a mixture of transisomers unknown to nature, which has the consistency of soft plasticine, a disgusting smell and color. In order to give this “product” commercial qualities, a bunch of all kinds of chemistry is added there.
Trans fats are extremely toxic and tend to accumulate in the body, causing a number of dangerous ailments: stress, atherosclerosis, heart disease, cancer, obesity, sick children, weakened immunity, low potency, etc.

What is the harm of artificial yeast:

- These are entities alien to the body - mushrooms.
“Imagine a mushroom lives in your body.
- The yeast itself is killed during baking, but their spores are not.
- Able to penetrate into the bloodstream, and therefore into any organs.
- In the course of their life activity, mycotoxins are released.
- Once in the body, they begin to rebuild the entire environment for themselves.
– The symbiotic (healthy) microflora is inhibited, and the pathogenic one flourishes.
– The body becomes easily accessible to foreign bacteria and viruses.
– Ideal conditions are created for the development of cancer cells.

Why do I say that humanity in matters of nutrition (as in many other matters) can no longer be trusted? If the human herd en masse produces and consumes what kills it, then, clearly, it cannot be trusted. Well, how can you trust a drug addict, for example?

A person who is in a problem does not see the problem, or does not want to see it. And a problematic society does not even want to see its own problems, or is even unable to see it, because it is in the illusion of herd safety.

So, we finally saw that “smoking kills”, after they began to add chemistry to tobacco, and as a result, it began to kill even more. But after all, the same inscription - “kills” - can be confidently glued to all supermarket synthetics. Illusion calms only because it kills slowly and imperceptibly.

From the moment these three main components appeared in the diet - white flour, margarine, yeast - the culture ended, and the matrix began.

These components are included in all the most common and everyday products - baking. This is, as it were, the basis of the matrix scheme (not culture) of nutrition.

The main thing is to lay the foundation so that people lose their sanity, as in the fairy tale about Sinbad the Sailor. Then they will not understand why they get sick and die, and in general, for what purpose all this. On the farm, after all, the cattle does not understand what and why they are fed?

Cells must be filled with obedient elements. And these elements must be, firstly, not quite healthy, so that they do not have free energy, and secondly, slightly fucked up, so that they do not understand where they are. Energy and conscious will should be enough just enough to properly perform their functional duties - no more, no less.

The transition from traditional to living food does not at all mean some kind of breakthrough in the culture of food, if elementary principles are not followed. Consider what principles are violated there.

1. The diet should be constant, unchanged.

The kitchen (a set of products and ways of preparing them) should be a kind of well-established constant. In general, the diet cannot be changed abruptly, such as, for example, without special need to jump from one national cuisine to another.

This is mainly due to the intestinal microflora, which is adapted for the digestion of a particular food. It is rebuilt slowly, it can take months to adapt.

Therefore, any transition should be smooth, gradual. If we are talking about the transition to live food, then it is all the more impossible to rush here, because one more factor is added - enhanced cleansing of the body.

You can not bring yourself to a state of increased intoxication. So, in modern conditions, and especially for young people, it is better to tune in not for months, but for years.

2. The diet should be as diverse as possible.

At the same time, dishes should be as simple and monosyllabic as possible, consisting of similar ingredients. It is better to eat more, but one thing at a time.

Variety is required in the general range.

Vegetables and fruits alone are a very poor diet. If you want to eat something like that, it means that the body is missing something. For example, the brain consumes more than a quarter of all the energy of the body, it needs lecithin for its work. There is lecithin in chocolate, but it is not in vegetables and fruits - that's what you want. But why overeat with chocolate if the same lecithin is full of legumes?

3. Food should be enjoyable.

The human brain is so arranged - it should have fun. If there is no pleasure, serotonin is not produced, and then everything is bad. If there is no pleasure, the brain will look for it, including among artificial stimulants.

Food is one of the main pleasures, it must be tasty cooked. If what you eat is healthy, but tasteless, you will constantly want something obscene, but tasty, and this ordeal will continue until the brain gets its portion of pleasure.

Therefore, there is no need to engage in masochism, no need to chew green salad like a cow, you need to look for simple but tasty recipes, and get not only benefits, but also pleasure - this is the culture of live food. Live food can and should be delicious.

4. Avoid artificial stimulants and relaxants.

You still have to pay with interest. That is, from something artificial, the benefit is always less than the harm. Giving back doesn't pay off. First it gets better, and then it gets worse.

Depression and panic attacks are a new generation of diseases. They are caused by nothing more than chemical components in products. Chemistry causes an altered state of consciousness, to varying degrees, but always. It also causes intoxication, despite the fact that the toxins are "packed in barrels." Not all of them are packaged.

But if treat the effect of its cause, then the situation will only get worse. You can ask the question: what is artificial in coffee and chocolate? If they are environmentally friendly, natural, then probably nothing, if in moderation. Only natural coffee and chocolate are now hard to find.

This is big business, all plantations are abundantly watered with chemicals, not to mention what is added to the final product. The harm is not even in the caffeine itself, but in the accompanying chemistry. The best and safest stimulant is wild raw cocoa beans. You can just chew them, make cocoa or chocolate, sweets. The effect is felt immediately, and without consequences.

5. The main principle is that products must be natural.

A product that is “enclosed and buried” for a long period of storage cannot be considered natural. Additives that mimic "identical to natural" are also synthetics, no matter how they dress up. Eating “long-playing” (long-lasting) vegetables and fruits from the supermarket is sheer madness.

For the body, there is nothing worse than synthetic (artificially synthesized) toxins. Nature for billions of years of evolution has provided for everything except this.

If the body could speak, it would say: you can starve me, torment me with exorbitant physical exertion, throw me into heat or cold, you can bleed, you can beat, torture, and even cut, I will take everything down ... but if you will poison me, fool, you and I will feel bad, very bad - everything will just end very badly.

Culture of healthy eating: new times - new rules

The culture of our food, our eating habits are laid primarily by our parents. They certainly want the best for us, but the culture of healthy eating that existed when they were young may be drastically different from what we should eat in the twenty-first century.

The culture of healthy eating, like good manners, should be brought up from childhood.

The culture of healthy eating: what does it consist of?

We live in an era in which changes are taking place at a tremendous speed, including in the field of healthy eating culture. When most of the older members of our family - aunts, uncles, grandfathers, grandmothers - grew up and were brought up, they did not have access to even a thousandth of the information that is available to us now. Yes, and the composition of the products used to be different - people did not know about preservatives, or about dyes, or about milk, which can be stored for a month, while being out of the refrigerator.

Speaking about the culture of healthy eating, we by no means mean following any diets, and, moreover, we do not call for vegetarianism. These are all individual questions, and it is better not to get into dieting issues without a doctor's recommendation. The culture of healthy eating implies following certain rules.

Of course, it should be based on certain knowledge: about the properties of certain products, about their effect on our body, about their combination with each other. With this knowledge, you will be able to choose products that will fit your lifestyle. You will be able to cook them correctly, making the most of all the useful substances contained in them.

Some principles of healthy eating

One of the foundations of a healthy eating culture is that the amount of energy that enters the body with food should correspond to the amount of energy that a person spends during the day.

If the food we consume is low in calories, our performance is noticeably reduced. If we eat a lot of high-calorie food, while not loading our body with physical activity, the potential energy received will be spent on increasing our body weight.

The next principle is that in order for food to be absorbed in the best possible way, it is necessary that useful nutrients enter our body in a certain ratio. To create an individual diet, you do not need to use the services of nutritionists, it's easier than it seems.

Finally, one of the most important principles that is not always possible to follow is dietary compliance. This is the number of meals per day and the intervals between them.

For one person, three meals a day is suitable, and the other leads such a lifestyle that he needs to eat four times a day. It is important not to change the once established routine, as our digestive system "gets used" to produce gastric juice at certain hours.

The culture of healthy eating is, first of all, a personal discipline. Organize your diet wisely and you'll find more order in other areas of your life.

Healthy eating rules

According to statistics, the most harmful eating habits are Russians and Americans. Russians eat a lot, often uncontrollably, usually preferring three-course dinners.
At the same time, high-calorie heavy foods often predominate in the daily diet. In addition, many people like to have a snack between meals, and along with evening tea, they don’t mind eating a cake, candy or some sweet dish.

Americans are one of the earliest and foremost consumers of fast food and convenience foods. They often eat out, and the food in fast food places is rich in substances that are harmful to the body. In addition, most people have a bad habit - there is a lot at night and in the evening.
Interestingly, with this approach to nutrition, both Russians and Americans dream of having slim figures and good health. To achieve this, people use the most incredible ways to lose weight, super-weight loss diets, fat burners, etc.

Do we think about how well we eat? As you get older, you have to do this more and more often. Someone asks this question consciously, while someone is prompted to such thoughts by pain in the abdomen or upset digestion. Be that as it may, sooner or later almost everyone comes to a simple thought - if you want to live a long life, eat right. Then the question naturally arises: what is proper nutrition?

We all know that digested food is well digested food. On the one hand, we seem to know it, but on the other hand, for some reason we don’t remember it. Somehow, it goes without saying that after eating you need to grab an apple, drink tea with a bun ...

First of all, it should be said that one should not attach great importance to dietary guidelines intended "for everyone at once", since we are all different people, each of us has his own activity of metabolic processes (metabolism), different culinary traditions, habits and so on.
Many have heard the saying: “what is good for a Russian is death for a German,” that is, what he loves, for example, Georgians, may not be liked and not at all suitable for an Englishman.
It turns out that in itself the concept of "proper nutrition" is very abstract and approximate. However, it is possible to single out some fundamental principles, the observance of which allows us to talk about reasonable, or proper nutrition.

There are many approaches to "proper" nutrition. Someone adheres to the principles of separate nutrition, someone prefers vegetarian food, someone eats only raw fruits and vegetables. Fried food is considered very harmful, and boiled food is also not very welcome. Each person chooses the rules that he will follow. When the body begins to rebuild, it begins to dictate its own conditions.

Many have read, or heard from others, that you should not eat in the morning, because the body cleanses itself at this time, and even after sleep it has enough energy for the morning. For some, this seems absolutely impossible, while others have breakfast at 11-13 o'clock quite calmly. And most often they have two meals a day.
And some hold a different point of view: breakfast should be royal, because in the morning the body works in such a way that it is able to absorb everything valuable that you ate at breakfast. Remember the saying: "Eat breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, give dinner to the enemy" ...

Drink a glass of juice;

The best and most useful (in my opinion) is when you want. You need to eat when you feel that now you will eat everything you see, when you feel a healthy hunger. And when you expect that the appetite will come with eating, nothing but heaviness in the stomach and a desire to sleep will work;

You should eat cold or hot food. Comfortably warm is good. The fact is that the process of digestion begins at a certain temperature of food, but if it is cold or hot, then the body first brings it to a certain temperature, spending a certain amount of energy. And since we eat to live, and do not live to eat, then let's carefully spend our energy on food in order to spend more energy on life;

Know the measure in food and get up from the table with a slight feeling of hunger;

Of the two great desires - to sleep and eat - always choose the first. Get some rest and only then start eating. When the body is overtired and wants to sleep, not only the brain and muscles are tired, but also the stomach;

Do not eat in an excited, anxious state. It is better to skip meals altogether;

Food must be fresh. Of all cooking methods, prefer the simplest cooking if possible. Eat less fried, smoked or baked foods. Fruits and vegetables are best eaten raw. Highly healthy fresh juices;

It is advisable to consume fruits 20-25 minutes before meals. Why? Because fruits linger in the stomach for this particular time, and they are digested mainly in the intestines. When we eat them after a hearty meal, they are not digested, but rot in the stomach. Instead of great benefit, we receive great harm;

Drink plenty of fluids, but do it slowly; eat garlic - at least one to two cloves a day, on an empty stomach. Finely chopped garlic is easy to swallow without chewing, washed down with water. So you will avoid unpleasant garlic breath and get a wonderful harmless natural antibiotic that will "monitor" the microflora in your stomach and intestines. You can use salt, but only in small doses. Be aware that processed foods, sauces, condiments may contain hidden salt;

It is better to drink 30 minutes before meals. The fact is that when we drink with or after a meal, the water "washes away" some of the enzymes produced by the stomach to digest food. We have to produce more of them, which means that the body has to spend more energy on processing. And given that we eat in order to supply ourselves with energy, it is ridiculous to spend all the energy produced only on the digestion of the next portion of food. By the way, the least energy is spent by the body when drinking fresh juices. After a meal, it is recommended to drink after a carbohydrate meal - after 3 hours, after a protein meal - after 4 hours. If you really want to, then not earlier than after 1 hour;

You need to chew your food well. It’s good to chew each piece 30 times, well, and if you chew 60 times, it’s just wonderful;

Enjoy food. And in order not to overload the body, you can skip the next meal;

Learn to eat any product, respecting it, loving it and understanding that now it will give you all of itself so that you continue your existence more meaningfully, become more loving, more bright. This is his sacrifice to you;

Remove salty foods, smoked, pickled, fried, fatty foods from the diet. Eat only one food at a time. For example, boiled potatoes. You don't need to add oil or anything. Just boiled potatoes. Without bread, salt and other additives in the form of spices and sauces;

There is also the "rule of 4 ingredients". Eat only one dish at a time, prepared using no more than 4 ingredients. For example, take boiled potatoes with dill. The components of this dish will be potatoes (1), water (2), dill (or other seasoning), salt. That's it, we don't add anything else. Between meals we take breaks - 4 hours;

Before eating, you need to drink a glass of liquid: tea or water, juice. Between meals there should be breaks of at least 4 hours. The night break in food should be about 12 hours;

When you eat, don't rush. Chew slowly while enjoying your meal. When you drink - do not swallow quickly, enjoy drinking.

A beautiful table setting is highly desirable. Approach the meal as if it were a holiday.

In the event that you begin to adhere to the rules of reasonable nutrition, your long and healthy life can be the result.

Food culture. How to learn to eat right.

The concept of "food culture" in various scientific papers is interpreted in different ways. In this article I will try to systematize this concept for a modern person and give practical advice for normalizing their own food culture.

Let's take a moment to look at the pyramid of needs of the famous American psychologist Abraham Maslow. In it, you can see that the concept of "nutrition" is at the base of the pyramid. It follows from this that all major personal achievements cannot be fully realized without the qualitative satisfaction of basic physiological needs, which means that a person as a person will not be able to fully realize himself.

So, we can safely say that food culture is one of the main components of the foundation of the personal development of each person.

Do you want to be healthy, successful, look beautiful and young? To do this, you definitely need to bring the culture of your own food in order. If you decide to take this step, then I advise you to identify 4 basic requirements for yourself, which you should definitely adhere to:

• Composition and quality of products.
• Food Prem Mode
• form of eating

Composition and quality of products

“We are what we eat” - this phrase perfectly describes this requirement. Before each meal, be sure to think about whether this food is worth it to end up in your stomach. Remember that any product you eat, one way or another, will be displayed on your well-being, mood or appearance. If you have an apple and french fries in front of you, which would you choose? A dry potato or a juicy shiny apple? Here, the inner intuition itself will tell you what you can eat and what it is better to refrain from. Remember, also, about the composition of the products. Each person for a full life needs to receive a certain amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Moreover, this amount is strictly individual for each organism, physique and lifestyle. Be careful with all kinds of diets. It's one thing if a professional doctor prescribes a diet for you to improve your well-being, it's completely different when, dreaming of losing a few kilograms, you starve yourself.

Eating mode

Most people who work from 9:00 to 18:00 are used to a certain "classic" eating pattern. Breakfast lunch dinner. Moreover, it does not matter at all what time it is. In the morning at 7:00 I ate a roll with coffee, at lunch, right at the workplace, I drank instant soup from a cup, and in the evening, when I got home, I decided to catch up: I fried the chicken, poured myself a giant portion of the side dish, ate and went to bed after dinner . There is also such a common misconception that if you skip one of the meals, then, of course, you will immediately begin to lose weight. If you decide to adopt a positive food culture, then you should radically change your attitude to the mode of eating. If you are looking for a slim figure, then the breakfast-lunch-dinner form is not for you. Also forget about skipping one meal - it won't help. Yes, of course, at first you will lose a couple of kilos, then later you will gain 2 times more.

To normalize metabolism, there should be at least 5 meals. Train yourself to eat something every 2.5 - 3 hours. Moreover, it is not necessary to add more food. Just divide the usual portions of breakfast, lunch and dinner into 5 parts. Any nutritionist on the question of how best to eat will answer you - often and a little bit. To the usual form of breakfast-lunch-dinner, it is worth adding such a concept as second breakfast and afternoon snack. It is also recommended not to eat 1.5 - 2 hours before bedtime, so as not to strain the stomach too much during the rest and not interfere with the gain of energy the next day.

form of eating

Ask yourself - how often have you had to eat on the go: standing, lying down, on the run, or stuffing sandwiches without having extra time for a snack. And what is this - you might think. But after all, your stomach is not a warehouse where you can throw everything, and then it will sort itself out. The gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to any kind of stress, upheaval and haste. Set aside a specific time for eating and stick to it. The stomach can also be "trained to eat right." Just set yourself a reminder for every hour of eating and be sure to give yourself 15 minutes for a snack or lunch. Do not rush, chew your food thoroughly, after a while of following the regimen, you will notice how your stomach will begin to “prompt” you that it is time to have a bite. Be sure to listen to these tips.

emotional load

As mentioned above, the gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to any kind of stress. The mood with which you eat food can affect the quality of its assimilation. If you fight and have lunch at the same time, it is likely that after a while you will get serious stomach cramps. You need to take food in a calm state. Enjoy food, savor it, try to taste every bite or sip. Allow the taste to evenly distribute to your receptors. Note for yourself this or that flavor. Let an ordinary snack become a tasting for you. This will help turn the meal into a tradition that you want to keep.

P.S.

food culture is not a measure of restriction to achieve certain goals. It's a lifestyle. You must understand for yourself that your food culture is primarily a reflection of you and your own life. If you want there to be no chaos and confusion in your life, try first to normalize your food culture, and everything else, be sure, will be tied to this.

Especially for you, on our website we have collected a whole range of organic and healthy products that will help you establish your food culture and learn how to eat right.

"You are what you eat!" - remember this and be healthy!

Do we think about whether we eat right? Surely, you have to do this, and with age more and more often. Someone asks such a question consciously, while someone is prompted to such thoughts by sudden onset of stomach cramps or upset digestion. Be that as it may, at a certain age everyone comes to a simple thought - if you want to live a long life, eat right. If you don't want to, eat when you have to and whatever comes to hand.

Of course, for most people, the former is much more attractive than the latter. But the question immediately arises: what is proper nutrition?

First of all, it should be said that it is not necessary to attach great importance to the "for all" dietary guidelines that are full of dietary guides. All people are different. With its activity of metabolic processes, with various culinary traditions, habits and so on. It's not a secret for anyone: what, say, an Armenian loves, a Kalmyk may not like. Therefore, we warn that the concept of "proper nutrition" in itself is abstract and very approximate.

And although this topic is very extensive, it seems to us that we can single out the fundamental principles, the observance of which allows us to talk about proper nutrition.

First: try to follow the traditions of your national cuisine. In other words, experiment less on your own stomach when you are away from home for a while.

Second: stick to the need for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In other words, eat at least three times a day and, if possible, at the same time. In between these meals, you can also have a little "snack". There will be no big sin if between breakfast and lunch you eat, for example, an apple or drink a glass of milk with a bagel.

Third: know the measure in food and get up from the table with a slight feeling of hunger.

Fourth: of the two great desires - to sleep and eat - always choose the first. Get some rest and only then start eating. When the body is overtired and wants to sleep, not only the brain and muscles are tired, but also the stomach.

Fifth: food must be fresh. Of all cooking methods, prefer the simplest cooking if possible. Eat less fried, smoked or baked foods. Fruits and vegetables are best eaten raw.

Sixth: drink - but do not rush! - more liquid; eat more garlic - at least one to two cloves a day, on an empty stomach. Finely chopped garlic is easy to swallow without chewing, washed down with water. So you will avoid unpleasant garlic breath and get a wonderful harmless natural antibiotic that will "monitor" the microflora in your stomach and intestines. Eat salt, but in small doses. Drink only wine, but good, and make sure that the legs remain light and the head bright.

Seventh: do not eat anything that is not recommended by a doctor you trust.

Compliance with these rules of reasonable nutrition promises you a long life without diseases. This is all the more likely the more conscientiously you stick to them. Try to count which culinary "commandments" named here you are doing. And if not, why not, what's stopping you? Does everything depend on you?

Now let's see how many times the funny hero of another story violated the dietary "code".

Semyon Ivanovich kept heading in the direction of a large grocery store. Under the spoon for a long time sucked. And no wonder: the whole day without lunch. As soon as he had time to eat a sandwich with perforated, bright yellow, appetizing smelling cheese, he was called by the head of the department and assigned urgent work. In general, Semyon Ivanovich was left without dinner.

By evening, the hunger became truly wolfish, if not worse. Hastily running up the steps of the supermarket, Semyon Ivanovich carried his bulky body into a huge hall, full of multi-colored packages on long shelves stretching into the distance. There was such a mesmerizing smell in the hall that he felt dizzy for a moment.

Having mingled with the crowd of buyers, Semyon Ivanovich found himself at the gastronomic department and froze in front of the enchanting spectacle that opened up to him. In the window, in the rays of bright, life-affirming light, were red-juicy slices of ripe sausages. Not far away was a fat-slicked brown pile of smoked chicken legs. A little further away, shining with milky-white sides, rose a pyramid of layers of young fat.

Everything seemed to be calling and singing: "Buy us! Buy us!" It even seemed to Semyon Ivanovich that he really heard this chorus. He even turned around - but can others hear him? But the people around were calm and even somehow indifferently looked at all these benefits. He quickly counted his money. Enough. At least for dinner, he thought to himself.

With difficulty standing in line of three people, he finally found himself in front of a polite young saleswoman. But when, lifting her chin, she pretended to be attentive and ready to fulfill all the wishes of the buyer, Semyon Ivanovich was at a loss from the gastronomic feelings that overwhelmed him and did not immediately find something to say. There was a soft murmur from behind. Stretching out his hand and fixing his burning gaze on the counter littered with meat products, Semyon Ivanovich nevertheless made it clear to the saleswoman where what he wanted was located.

Sausages? Shrugging her shoulders, the girl said. The buyer shook his head in approval.

How? Half a kilo?

Semyon Ivanovich smiled condescendingly, spreading his arms to the sides and making a triple chin, as if to say: was it worth it to stand because of such a trifle.

Kilogram? - the saleswoman continued the monologue.

The buyer "thrown out" two fingers, indicating two kilos.

While the girl was weighing the sausages, Semyon Ivanovich glanced quickly over the counter, frantically thinking about what else to buy. But the girl, apparently unaware of the spiritual storm that had seized him, deftly wrapped the weighted one, and, after politely thanking the somewhat strange buyer for the purchase, turned to the lady standing behind him.

Wait a minute! - finally found the gift of speech Semyon Ivanovich. - Wait a minute... That's not all. - He jokingly shook his finger at the flashing paint to a young saleswoman. - I would like, uh, a pound of doctor's and ... half-smoked stick.

Satisfied with his purchase, Semyon Ivanovich began to move from counter to counter. Soon the sausages and sausages in his basket were joined by two bottles of yogurt, a kilogram can of lightly salted herring and a bag of halva. The stomach was furious. Eyes already refused to look at all this abundance.

That's it, it's time to go out, - Semyon Ivanovich firmly decided. But then his attention was drawn to a one-liter can of canned pineapples, proudly standing between jars of green peas and beans. - Okay, the last, and quickly home!

Flying up to the counter, Semyon Ivanovich raised his broad, weighty palm over the pineapples, when he suddenly thought: "Will there be enough money?" He quickly considered in his mind - is it really enough? But pineapples, whatever one may say, were missing. "Well, wow," Semyon Ivanovich thought bitterly, "now the supper is ruined." And with an expression of infinite sadness on his face, he slowly trudged towards the exit.

INTRODUCTION

Many of our contemporaries, being educated and cultured people,

are remarkably ignorant of nutrition. They do not know how much, what, when and even how to eat, they have a random idea about the chemical composition of products, their properties, and know almost nothing about the impact of a particular product on the human body. Usually only some disease makes such people pay attention to their diet. Unfortunately, sometimes it is too late: malnutrition has already thoroughly destroyed the body and one has to resort to treatment.

Being one of the important components of our way of life, the culture of food consumption determines to a large extent the way of life of a person. Those who know the laws of rational nutrition and follow them are more likely to be healthy, active, developed physically and spiritually. The time has come to judge the culture of a person at the table not only and not so much by how he eats, that is, how he uses cutlery, etc., but by what and how much he eats.

Below we will talk about the principles of rational nutrition. They are based on the use of only those products that contain the least amount of harmful substances.
The purpose of this work is to study and show the principles of healthy eating. I will talk about the causes, consequences of malnutrition, give statistics. In preparing this essay, I used both educational and scientific literature on this topic.

DIET.

The concept of "diet" includes: the amount and time of eating during the day; distribution of the daily ration according to its energy value, chemical composition, food set and weight for breakfast, lunch, etc.; the intervals between meals and, finally, the time spent on it. The human body is extremely complex. The harmonic balance of this complex system, which is under the constant influence of the external environment, is what we call health. An important role in maintaining the normal functioning of the body and its health is played by the rhythm of nutrition. The human body is designed in such a way that at a certain time the entire digestive tract prepares itself for eating and signals this. A person who is accustomed to a certain diet can check the clock by the signals of his stomach. If, for some reason, the next meal did not take place, the body is forced to rebuild, and this entails negative consequences. At the hour allotted for eating, or some time later, when thinking about food, gastric juice, which has a great digestive capacity, begins to flow into the stomach, and if at this time there is no food in the stomach, the secreted juice begins to act on the walls of the stomach and duodenum. Frequent violations of the diet lead to the formation of ulcers, gastritis and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. In order to avoid such consequences of a violation of normal nutrition, it is recommended to eat something during the hours of normal eating if it is not possible to eat normally.

Human nutrition is regulated by the central nervous system. This is controlled by the so-called food center (appetite center) in the brain. And for the normal and correct operation of this center, the correct diet is extremely important. You need to eat a certain number of times during the day and at certain, strictly established intervals, if possible, correctly distributing food for each of the meals (both in terms of volume and calorie content, and in terms of the composition of nutrients).

As mentioned above, a person who is accustomed to a developed diet at a certain time has a feeling of hunger, an appetite appears. But you need to know that hunger and appetite are not the same thing. Hunger is such a physiological state when the amount of nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body ceases to flow into the blood. Appetite, on the other hand, can appear at one sight or even at the memory of delicious food (although there is no physiological need for a new portion of food in the body at the moment). It happens and vice versa - there is no appetite, although the body already needs the next portion of food. Both increased appetite, not caused by physiological necessity, and its absence are a painful condition, most often caused by a systematic violation of the basic rules of nutrition. A normal food reflex is developed from childhood, when the body is formed and eating habits (including harmful ones) are laid. You need to know that in children the food center (reflex) is especially easily excited not only by the type of food, but also by the mention of it. Satisfaction of each unjustified physiological need for the manifestation of appetite will inevitably lead to a violation of proper digestion, to overeating.

The question of how many times to eat a day, at what intervals and what calorie content to take during each meal is one of the problems that is carefully studied by experts. Research by scientists has shown that a one-time meal is generally unacceptable: the human body is in tension with such a meal, not only the digestive system, but also all other systems and organs of the body, especially the nervous system, does not work properly. Two meals a day also makes you feel bad. With such a diet, a person experiences severe hunger, and the digestibility of the most important part of the diet - protein, on average, is no more than 75 percent of what has entered the body. With three meals a day, a person feels better, food is eaten with a good appetite, and protein digestibility increases to 85 percent. With four meals a day, protein digestibility remains at the same 85 percent, but a person’s well-being is even better than with three meals a day. In the experiment, scientists have proven that with five and six meals a day, appetite worsens and, in some cases, protein digestibility decreases.

Conclusion: for a healthy person, it is most rational to eat 4 times a day; three meals a day are also acceptable. As for therapeutic nutrition for obesity, gastritis, colitis and other diseases, the doctor prescribes the diet and diet.

INTERVALS BETWEEN MEALS.

Now about the intervals between meals. From a physiological point of view, it would be ideal to start the next meal only when the digestion of the food eaten in the previous meal is over. To this it must be added that the digestive organs, like every other organ of the human body, need periods of rest. And, finally, digestion has a certain effect on all processes occurring in the body, including the activity of the central nervous system. The combination of these conditions leads to the fact that a person accustomed to a measured diet at the right time has a normal appetite.

One of the indicators of the duration of the act of digestion is the time of removal of food from the stomach. It has been established that during normal functioning of the stomach and other digestive organs, the process of digestion of food lasts about 4 hours. Each meal leads to a more or less pronounced change in the state of the central nervous system. After eating, especially plentiful, some apathy sets in, attention decreases, the will relaxes, a person tends to sleep, that is, in the language of a physiologist, conditioned reflex activity decreases. This state of the central nervous system, which occurs immediately after eating, lasts for an hour or more, depending on the abundance of food taken. Then all these sensations are smoothed out, and finally, by the end of the fourth hour, the food center returns to its normal state - appetite reappears. And if a person who is accustomed to the regime does not eat in a timely manner, he becomes weak, attention decreases, and working capacity decreases. And in the future, the appetite may disappear. If you are systematically late with food or eat on a full stomach, the normal activity of the digestive glands is disturbed, digestion is upset. A longer interval between meals falls on the period of night sleep, but it should not exceed 10-11 hours. The general rule is the following: between small meals, the intervals can be short (2-3 hours), but eating earlier than 2 hours after the previous meal is not advisable. On average, the breaks between meals should be 4-5 hours.

Of great importance is the distribution of the daily diet, that is, the preparation of the menu. Here the questions of the quantity of food, its qualitative composition and the sequence in taking individual dishes are combined.

The total amount of food consumed by a person per day, along with liquid meals and drinks, averages about 3 kilograms. Breakfast is the first meal after sleep. During a night's sleep, everything eaten the day before was digested, all the organs of the body, including the digestive ones, rested and favorable conditions were created for their further work. Scientists involved in nutrition are unanimous in the fact that it is necessary to have breakfast, regardless of whether a person is engaged in physical or mental activity. It can only be about what part of the diet should include breakfast. It is believed that if a person is engaged in physical labor, then breakfast should contain approximately 1/3 of the daily diet, both in terms of volume and nutritional value. If a person of physical labor eats breakfast that is insignificant in terms of volume and nutritional value, or even worse, starts work on an empty stomach, then he cannot work at full load, and his performance drops significantly. It has now become fashionable, especially among knowledge workers, to limit themselves to a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast. They refer to the lack of time and appetite. Both are the result of an incorrect lifestyle, a general regimen, including a diet. Putting things in order in the diet (as, indeed, in the whole way of life) is quite within the power of a person, and anyone who wants to can overcome the bad habit of eating improperly, and by the way, give up bad habits, such as alcohol abuse and smoking .

CONCLUSION.

Summing up the above, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the thinkers of the past already associated moderation in food not only with a person’s health, but also with his moral state. The ancient Roman philosopher Rufus Musonius believed that “our duty is to eat for life, and not for pleasure, if only we want to follow the beautiful saying of Socrates that while most people live in order to eat, he, Socrates, eats to live." Socrates himself expressed his attitude to nutrition as follows: "Beware of any food and drink that would induce you to eat more than your hunger and thirst require."

Scientists say that the basis of most of the diseases of modern man is malnutrition. And the habit is laid to him in the family. Knowledge of the principles of rational nutrition and strict adherence to them in practice will provide all family members with good health and good spirits, the opportunity to live a full, interesting life.

It's amazing how ignorant most people are about healthy eating. Usually some serious reason - illness or obesity - makes us pay attention to our nutrition, and it's good if we take it not too late to change our eating habits.

How many of us have knowledge about rational nutrition, about the composition of products, about their effect on the body, about the basic principles of metabolism? After all, the culture of food consumption determines the way of life of a person and directly affects his health and appearance.

The foundations of the principles of nutrition are laid down in childhood. We eat the way our parents taught us. It often happens that formed eating habits are harmful to our health. If you set out to learn the principles of proper healthy nutrition and make it part of your lifestyle, then this approach is the best way to cultivate the right eating habits not only in yourself, but also in your children. After all, it is the family and parents that are the sources of role models. In addition, you, as a parent, are responsible for the health of your child and for his upbringing. Establishing good habits as a child is a way to make life a lot easier for your children when they are adults. Good health, good spirits, the opportunity to live a full and interesting life, a beautiful body are worth providing your child with these opportunities, raising him healthy and self-confident.

The culture of proper healthy nutrition implies an understanding of the role of food in human life, an understanding of the basic processes that occur in the body under the influence of certain products, the ability to choose the right products and cook them correctly.

Both the qualitative and quantitative composition of food, as well as the mode of its use, are important. Most of the inhabitants of our planet today are overweight precisely because of the lack of a food culture. Completeness affects well-being, appearance, self-esteem, and can lead to serious diseases.

Our body needs a variety of energy and nutritional material. The food we eat should provide us with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, essential minerals and vitamins in order for us to remain alert, healthy, and able to work. Therefore, nutrition must be varied and necessarily balanced in composition.

And an important factor - food should bring us pleasure! After all, any taste sensations carry a deep physiological meaning, they determine some of the protective reactions of our body. For example, food that tastes bad is perceived by the body as a kind of danger - food that is not suitable for consumption. Pleasant emotions accompanying the meal provide psychological comfort, form taste sensitivity.

People who take care of their health strive to improve the quality of their lives and take care of their body. Health and beauty are inseparable things. Rational nutrition is one of the most important prerequisites for always feeling good and looking great. The culture of healthy eating is primarily a personal discipline. If you organize your diet wisely, then the body will thank you by improving the condition of internal organs, skin, hair, strengthening health, getting rid of excess weight.
