СКАЧАТЬ Vitamins affect growth, metabolism, immune function, nervous system, endocrine system, blood formation, coagulation, etc.

      Tier types are soluble (A, D, E, K) and the rest are water soluble. Vitamins are distinguished from other organic nutrients that are not used by the body as an energy source. Biologically important elements are chemical elements that ensure the normal functioning of the body. There are two types – micro and microelements. Microelements are chemical elements contained in the organisms in parts per thousand (iron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, bromine, fluorine, argon, stroke, etc.) which affects growth, reproduction, hematopoietic, etc. Their deficiency or excess leads to disturbances in metabolism. The body accepts trace elements in large quantities from the external environment.

      I’ll give you a few simple rules to follow in order to keep the vitamins in your diet. Containers, graters and iron or brass knives can destroy the vitamins in food so if possible, tear the leaves for salads, cut the vegetables into large pieces, use plastic graters, plastic juicers not metallic one. If you can, eat raw materials reduce boiling times and avoid refreezing and warming your food. Always wash all foods carefully. You should eat vitamin rich food so there is no need for synthetic tablets to replace natural vitamins.

      Let’s take a look in more detail at Principle Two

      Eat your fruit separately, before or between meals.

      When we constantly meet the same people they become part of our lives. When they become part of our lives they want to change it. And if we are not such as they want, they become angry. Because everyone thinks that they know exactly how you should live our lives. But nobody knows exactly how to live their own life

      Paulo Coelho “The Alchemist”

      When you eat another meal in combination with fruits, the fruits stays in the stomach fermentation begins as fruits lose their beneficial ingredients. As a result, carbohydrates ferment and protein rots forming acids and gases. Fruits fall into the category of superfoods. When consumed alone they undergo little digestion in the mouth and no stomach. Their digestion is performed in the small intestine where the contents of their vitamins, minerals, natural sugars, etc. are absorbed very quickly. If you start your meal with fruits then it is bad for digestion eating them for dessert isn’t as bad.

      It is advisable to consume juices immediately after preparation. After staying over a period of time the juice ferments and turns acidic and loses their natural vitamins and minerals. Fruit juices sold in stores contain added artificial acids, sugars and other additives, flavorings and colorings. For example, if the juice is peach flavored it means that artificial flavor has been used. For products, which have been indicated as sugar-free the sugar has been replaced with artificial sweetener or glucose. Avoid the consumption of carbonated soft drinks with artificial additives or at least reduce them and drink them separately from foods.

      Drink plenty of water but not with meals for it unnecessarily expands the stomach. The human body contains between 50 and 75% water that depends on your weight and age. Water contributes to the normal functioning of the heart and transports nutrients to the cells. Although we all know how important water is we do not drinking enough.

      Popular Diets

      Life is not complicated. We are complicated. Life is simple and the simple things are the right things

      Oscar Wilde

      I have introduced you to some foods and my system before describing you my experience with diets on purpose. Below you will read about my personal story testing one of the world’s well known diets.

      Atkins and Montignac Diet

      Experience has no ethical value. It is only the title that people give to their mistakes

      Oscar Wilde

      I'm sure most of you are familiar with the most popular diet – the nutritional system of the American cardiologist Dr. Robert Atkins. The equivalent of this diet in Europe is known as the French diet of Michelle Montignac. Both have caused a great furor and have many followers in both the U.S. and Europe and even restaurants have menus based on their systems. Their unique program includes eating the right carbohydrates and right fats and is based on the glycemic index of foods. Montignac himself managed to lose 35 lbs for three months with his own method. This diet may have helped many of you to reach your target weight, but it didn’t have a productive effect on me. Nevertheless, it gave me good knowledge of how the glycemic index of foods affects blood sugar levels.

      The Non-Carbohydrate Diet

      A country which is governed by understanding poverty and misery are shameful is the way. In a country that is run without understanding wealth and honors is shameful

      Confucius

      Another world famous diet is the non-carbohydrate diet of Duke. I tried it, but the effect on me again wasn’t a positive one. It made me feel poorly and dizzy - because of the drop in blood sugar. I am not being subjective and I’m not disputing the fact that people can lose weight while avoiding carbohydrates. Furthermore, I am sure that this diet has helped many of you in the fight against excessive weight, but I will briefly explain my experience from it.

      For starters, let me explain what happens to the body if you stop eating carbohydrates. Your body will quickly extract accumulated energy in the muscles and the liver glycogen reserves to maintain the necessary levels of blood glucose. And as already mentioned - glycogen is brain food and energy for the body. Glycogen in the body is connected with water and when the body begins to derive glycogen reserves it releases the water with the urine. That is the main reason for drastic weight loss, when you start implementing the non-carbohydrate diet. Losing a few pounds in a week or two even eating foods with high fat content will cause absolute euphoria in you. Unfortunately, as soon as you start eating carbohydrates, your body will quickly begin to recover glycogen and water stores in the tissues.

      Another reason is that the metabolic processing of carbohydrates and fats as an energy source for the body is much less efficient than that of carbohydrates, which means that the body consumes more calories processing the protein and fat than the carbohydrates.

      The final metabolic waste product from burning protein is ammonia, which is highly toxic, it is processed by the liver into urea, which is less toxic than ammonia and is derived from the body by the kidneys through urine.

      Overall the non-carbohydrate diet has the following effects on the body:

      1.Increasing liver workload - when ammonia levels increase your brain function deteriorates and may lead to loss of consciousness - hepatic coma. You can easily recognize the increased amount of ammonia in the body – by people’s breath.

      2.Increasing kidneys workload - increases production of urea and leads to severe loss of microelements, especially calcium, thus it is increasing the risk of osteoporosis, especially for women in menopause.

      3.It is very likely that our bodies are exposed to the adverse effects of toxic waste products from the processing of proteins. Many people, falsely believe, that excessive meat consumption builds a healthy body and bones.

      A diet of repetitive food, whatever it may be invariably leads to weight loss – just as the chocolate diet proved. I must admit that after two weeks only of meat, sometimes with vegetables, I began feeling sick at the thought of only eating meat. Furthermore, when I ordered steak instead of enjoying it I started to look at it without pleasure, while dreaming of a carbohydrate СКАЧАТЬ
