Be beautiful and healthy

Preferred food should be given to the following products: breast of chicken, veal, freshwater fish, eggs, cottage cheese, nonfat cheese. Rice, buckwheat, green fruits and vegetables. Caloric intake (its calorific value) should cover the energy consumption of the organism to all activities and vice versa. The diet should be varied. The total daily caloric intake of selected foods should consist of the necessary amounts of protein, fats and carbohydrates. In order to fully supply the body different proteins (and hence the corresponding amino acids) is necessary, that the required daily amount of protein was approximately half of animal origin (meat, poultry, fish), and half vegetable. However, the use of only plant foods (vegetarianism) does not provide the body with all essential amino acids. A set of products with the required calories should also include the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals in accordance with the daily need for these substances and their content in food. The basic amount of food daily ration (65%) should fall on a day meals: 2-nd breakfast and lunch.

If we are talking about cholesterol, so we suspect atherosclerosis and metabolic disease. According to WHO, our country occupies first place in the stable mortality from cardiovascular disease. It is perhaps regrettable, but it is. Diseases of the cardiovascular system - is a sickness of the age, disease today.

If in the early 20 th century the high mortality rate was determined by the presence of infection and a high level of injuries, but now people are dying from lifestyle, part of which is poor diet. Of course, we began to live better, richer and moved on cars, heavy physical labor has become scarce due to the development of mechanisms, machines and computer technology. Children playing less and less can be found on the street - mostly children playing computer games at home. And the products we have available any.

The abundance of fast-foods with reasonably priced, saves us time that we spend to prepare tasty, healthy, regular home meals.

Unfortunately, every second causes of death are cardiovascular disease, and, therefore, the presence in most cases, invisible to the naked eye cholesterol or atherosclerotic plaque. That is, death - is the price paid for our "tasty" life. And why in our country? Historically, that because of various wars, the cold climate, the hungry years, the organism is already protected at the genetic level. To protect themselves, he is ready to take more energy to make and store fat for future use. But no one could imagine that this accumulation of energy (in store) leads to such severe complications - atherosclerosis.

One couple came to the reception to the doctor dietitian. Each of the spouses had about 9 kilograms of excess weight, and they thought that to lose weight together, supporting each other, will be much easier and more fun. They offered the same program of physical activity and nutrition. A month later it turned out that the man lost 3.15 pounds, while the woman recovered at 0.45 kilograms.

Then the doctor asked whether there were any differences in lifestyle and diet, and received a negative response. They ate the same food at the same time and together attend a gym. It has been another month, and the man has lost 2.7 pounds, and a woman - only 0.47 kilograms (the weight, which she won last month). Not surprisingly, she was very upset and was ready to abandon their attempts to lose weight and again to her chocolate.

This case is the best confirms how different processes of metabolism in men and women, how differently constructed and operated male and female fat cells. We had a woman change a program lose weight and go on another diet, and two months later, she would "catch up" with her husband and 6 months after they both reached the weight dreamed about.

Everyone knows that for normal healthy functioning of the body requires a balanced diet, vitamins and trace elements. We also know a lot of diets, which are chosen strictly individual. But somehow one and the same diet helps one, but absolutely useless, and sometimes even harmful to another person. Let us try to understand this.
  
Any food which comes to us in the body must be properly digested. Protein products - a source of amino acids. Among them are synthesized hormones, enzymes, antibodies, hemoglobin, and hundreds of thousands of other proteins necessary for the life of the organism.

Carbohydrates - the source for energy and for the synthesis of glycoproteins. Fats are needed for the body to maintain the integrity of cell membranes, they facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), minerals are a source of essential fatty acids and lipoproteins. Vitamins and trace elements the body needs as air. Without them, there is no single biochemical reaction.

If the digestive process is correct - it means a person is healthy, he has a stable mood, high mental and physical performance, full sleep, harmonious shape and good skin.

Which organs are involved in digestion, in addition to gastro-intestinal tract?

This is primarily the liver and gall bladder. Liver - largest organ in the body - it weighs about 1.5 kg., It has about 300 billion cells. The liver is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids (fats), amino acids and proteins, affects the process of blood clotting, synthesis of biologically active substances is part of the immune system.

In liver cells synthesized a number of enzymes and bile acids, which intrahepatic bile duct enter the gallbladder.

Gall bladder "includes" in the work of the gastrointestinal tract. It is due to the release of bile people feel the appetite. Bile consists of 80% of the water: the remaining 20% - is bile acids, phospholipids, protein, cholesterol, protein, cholesterol, bilirubin, enzymes. In the day is formed from 600 to 1000 ml. bile. "Correct" bile - an important component of full digestion. From its composition depend on metabolic processes.

The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice, containing a number of enzymes needed for digestion. The daily amount of secretion of the pancreas ranged from 0,7 to 2,5 liters. The effect of this secretion is essential, it neutralizes the gastric juice in the small intestine, breaks down proteins, fats, starch and glycogen, RNA and DNA.

Thus, in the process of digestion involved the entire gastrointestinal tract, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Only the normal and harmonious functioning of the combination of all these bodies ensures the full assimilation of food. Violation of at least one part of this complex process leads to most problems.

There are many ways to identify the very first, functional disorders in the chain. This is primarily a detailed conversation with your doctor, then if necessary a detailed biochemical analysis of blood and a method for biochemical assessment of metabolic activity of cellular flora.

Diet, appointed to you personally, taking into account your individual characteristics, yield maximum results. Your diet will be helpful for you, subject to troubleshoot problems with digestion.

In order to decide whether you want to know what foods are good to you, what percentage of your diet should be fat, proteins and carbohydrates, answer a few questions.

Do you have extra weight?
You are often in a state of irritation?
Sometimes you have a bitter taste in your mouth?
Sometimes you have a burp on an empty stomach?
Are you concerned about bloating (flatulence)?
There you have constipation or diarrhea?
You periodically worries nausea?
Have you, for no particular reason, skin rash (dermatitis, urticaria, acne)?
Whether there You drowsiness and lethargy during the day?
Are you worried about insomnia?
You do not like the condition of your skin, hair and nails?

If at least one of these questions you answered yes, you need to think about the state of your digestion and correction of your diet, there will be no need to sit on different diets, and instead of getting the desired result only disappointment. Do not tighten and aggravate disorder better time to restore the impaired function than later to spend on treatment for years. Be healthy and happy!
