UNEXPECTEDLY USEFUL

THAT HEALTHY FOOD DOES NOT EXIST

The Weizmann Institute in Israel carried out a very interesting study. For several years scientists have observed a group of volunteers of 40 people. The participants in the experiment were divided into two groups. The first ones ate only "healthy" food, and the second ones - ordinary products from the supermarket: semi-finished products, chips, carbonated drinks, frozen foods, etc.

The study was conducted by Dr. Evana Elinava with her colleagues .. They came to an unusual conclusion. The organism of the observed responded to food purely individually. Participants in both groups experienced both positive and negative changes, equally.

Evana Elinava stated that "healthy eating" is a fiction that dieticians should not use this concept in their practice.

The research team of the Institute Weizmann prepared a report in which they outlined their idea of a healthy diet based on the research data.

The report says that "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods should be determined for each person individually at a certain point in his life. What can be useful for one, it can be harmful to another.

Evana Elinava calls on all dieticians, gastroenterologists and immunologists of the world to create individual diets, and not to use the standard formula.

Based on the microflora of the intestine, you need to select those foods that are suitable for a particular person.

It is the intestine that determines the body's response to various foods.

Thus, scientists have proved that there is no healthy diet, common to all.

Today, nutritionists make the most diverse lists and ratings of harmful products, warning that pizza, fried meat, beer and many other things that are delicious to humans are deadly. But fortunately, among the dieticians there are good people who are ready to dispel these terrible myths.

Suddenly useful: dried beef.

This product was never considered useful, but in fact you just need to monitor the amount of salt in it. It is basically a protein that is practically sugar-free, so it will provide a surge of energy without increasing the blood sugar level.

Unexpectedly useful: ketchup.

Ketchup contains a huge amount of an antioxidant called lycopene. Studies show that this antioxidant can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Suddenly useful: red meat.

Red meat is blamed for almost any disease - from heart attacks to cancer. However, more recent studies have shown that there is not enough data to trace clear parallels between eating red meat and things like cancer, stroke and heart disease.

Also, there is no conclusive evidence that the use of red meat significantly increases the level of cholesterol in the blood. In this case, red meat contains one of the most easily digestible forms of vitamin D, which is good for bones, and zinc, which is digested better than from vegetables.

Unexpectedly useful: beer.

It turns out that "beer in the morning is not only harmful, but also useful." But, if without jokes, then moderate consumption of beer can help with such things as digestion and even cancer prevention. Hops also have anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, studies have shown that those who drink a bottle of beer a day have 25% less chance of cardiovascular disease.

Unexpectedly useful: crackers.

Just worth mentioning, there is nothing useful in the cookies. But the damage of crackers is very exaggerated, because they practically do not use sugar, and also they make special flour for their preparation.

Suddenly useful: pizza.

Pizza can also be useful (of course, it depends on the test, the filling, and the amount eaten).For example, a slice of Vegetarian pizza from vegetables with tomato sauce and cheese can provide the body with vitamins and calcium.

Suddenly useful: wine.

Undoubtedly, wine is very good for the heart ... but it's about a glass of wine several times a week, and not about a bottle at night. The wine contains a substance called resveratrol (which can be found in the skin of the grapes), which research suggests can help protect a person from cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and even Alzheimer's.

Unexpectedly useful: egg yolks.

Like red meat, egg yolks are often blamed for excess cholesterol. But researchers are finding more and more evidence that patients hospitalized because of heart attacks often have a "normal" level of cholesterol. In addition to this, due to changes in the diet of most laying hens at commercial enterprises, today eggs have much less cholesterol than even ten years ago. In addition, the eggs are full of protein and few carbohydrates, so they are good for many diets.

Suddenly useful: oysters.

The attitude of people to oysters varies greatly: some adore them, and others compare these mollusks with snot. Nevertheless, it is just an ideal source of zinc. Zinc is an important mineral for all people, but it is especially good for men's sexual health.

Unexpectedly useful: bacon.

In addition to being full of protein in bacon, which makes it a good low-carb snack, bacon actually has less saturated fat than beef. It also contains a choline substance that helps keep the brain healthy and can even prevent mental illnesses like Alzheimer's. Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as choline contained in bacon, can also help prevent heart disease.

Unexpectedly useful: popcorn

Popcorn is really really damn good for a person. It is full of fiber and antioxidants. The problem with popcorn is that people usually mix a lot of harmful products, such as sugar, salt and oil.

Suddenly useful: sushi.

In sushi a lot of protein, and fish is an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are not only vital for brain health, but also have anti-inflammatory effect. Although, white rice is actually not very good for health, sushi can be cooked and made from healthier brown rice, and also do not use salty sauces.

Unexpectedly useful: chocolate.

Although, as we know, dark chocolate has the most positive effect on health, milk chocolate is also very good in this regard. It is a good source of antioxidants and magnesium, as well as flavonols, which can help reduce blood pressure.

Unexpectedly useful: cheese

It's not about cheese in a jar or plastic product that is used in most pizzas, but about real cheese with milk and abomasum. Some studies even found that an increase in the number of dairy products consumed by 5 times led to weight loss and a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Unexpectedly useful: oil.

At least, the oil obtained from cows fed by grass, rather than processed grain and corn, is useful. It contains all kinds of substances that are very good for the body and brain, such as vitamin K2 and omega-3 fatty acids.
