Magic joy of food

Magic joy of food

Women who are satisfied with their weight, do not exist, and I am no exception. I'm on a steady diet from the day when the first year at college best friend asked me where I find fashionable clothes of its size. I must say that size at the time I was forty-sixth, and had no problems with the clothing did not arise. I have my periods of particularly strict diet - after childbirth, after a holiday in Italy, after endless Christmas holidays ... My husband calls it a period of exacerbation. Think I tried all the diets, which can be represented. I sat on kefir, raw buckwheat and nutrition division. I ate only the whites, except for carbohydrates, and then vice versa. Last week I ate only soup, celery and cabbage, and two weeks spent on apples. I have several years of not eating after six and weighed in the morning on an empty stomach. Probably, it would have continued indefinitely. But when, after the old new year, I became depressed and decided to hold a three-day recreation starvation, the husband said: "enough is enough. Or will you eat like normal people, or I'm leaving. I want to live with a contented well-fed woman want in a refrigerator was sausage, and my wife to drink beer with me on Saturday night! Choose: or diet, or am I! "In general, I chose my husband ... I decided to "eat like normal people, but it turned out that in recent years, I am so accustomed to be guided by advice of nutritionists, and now that I definitely need someone advice. Even last year "to" wrote "the system of French Women" (August 2005 - Ed.). Frankly, the main idea of ??the article I liked back then - there is everything you want and enjoy it. At that moment I decided that it was not for me: my body can be saved only by strict limitations. But the magazine still deferred. And apparently, now it's time to get it. I decided this: Exactly two months I will get pleasure from eating. I eat fatty, sweet, smoked - whatever they want. And I will not even look at alfalfa sprouts, I swear. Most likely, during which time I rastolsteyu so that my husband would beg me to come back to the diet.


WHAT EVERY WOMAN DREAMS Most importantly, say French - is what you want, not what is good, right, or low-calorie. The body itself knows what he is not, and should not enter it in confusion. A pleasant meal, I start on Monday. Sending her husband to work, and child in the school. Now I have half an hour out to have breakfast and go to the office. I usually eat for breakfast oatmeal, cooked in water without salt and sugar, and adds some fruit - apple, pear or orange, drink green tea during breakfast read anything at all. Today everything is different. Firstly, no books: they are distracting and interfere with enjoying a meal. Secondly, no green tea instead - a large cup of cocoa with milk (3.2% fat). Thirdly, no oatmeal. I am preparing myself what had dreamed for several years: a gigantic sandwich made from fresh white bread with a crispy crust. Inside I put bacon, cheese (set oogo cheese), lettuce (very little) and add the mayonnaise - not fat, but most that neither is true, olive-green (about 200 calories per tablespoon, but who counts? ). Chill. I sit at the table. Try. I am an adult, seasoned woman, but when I bit off the very first little piece of this huge sandwiches, and drinks his cocoa, I want to cry from happiness. At work I am taking a big bar of milk chocolate, two bags of nuts (pine and cashew nuts), crunchy cookies with coconut and fruit candy, because I can be everything! But something strange happens: If I have oatmeal after eleven o'clock started to bite (low-calorie biscuits with vitamins, rye crackers without salt, dried fruit), but now I do not want to eat before the second, when it is quite possible to dine.


Home, Me-Slow Unless I'm on a strict diet, my usual lunch - a vegetable soup and salad with vegetable oil. Today I shall take the mushroom cream soup with cream and cheese croutons, and the second golden fried fish with mashed potatoes and a small bowl with a fabulous salad. I feel a few steps away, as it smells wonderfully pickles and sausages ... It's a new year in early February. This name-heart! Seeing all this, my colleagues are terrified and exhale, it seems, can no longer breathe. And while they're astonished crunch coleslaw, I slowly (this is important parting words of French women) eat his soup with croutons and hot. And when it comes to Olivier, I'm almost with horror understand what I did ... I do not. Anyone who has ever sat on a diet, I understand. If you take a break from proper nutrition, then during this break to sweep away everything that is bad, and it seems perfectly logical: start a diet again tomorrow and have it you will not. But since I can now all I have this holiday with pickles simply relinquish. I can eat it tomorrow. My body is now asked not cucumbers. I return to the workplace, poured tea and unfold its totally unhealthy milk chocolate with a ridiculously low content of cocoa beans, but with raisins and nuts. And feeling as the first chocolate box melts in my mouth, I understand that the war was lost. I will be a thick, horrible and I are never going to love, and sex becomes a pleasant memory ... I do not know whether carbohydrates make people happy, but after eating half of the tiles, I understand that I am well. And it would be even better if all sides do not look at me astonished colleagues who have resolutely refused to join my celebration of life.


What Dreams May Come dream come true of my husband: today we're having dinner together, at seven o'clock in the evening (and this is a full hour later than the last permissible meals, if someone forgot). For dinner, we eat grilled meat, potatoes, french fries and salad (but no alfalfa!), Drink wine. We talk about what happened during the day. Simply "The Forsyte Saga" some. The husband is so pleased that washes the dishes after dinner. Before going to bed his daughter in a mysterious whisper asked: - Mom, you're not pregnant? You're a strange ... I go to bed, quite confident that on a full stomach does not go to sleep. Not at all. I fall asleep instantly, and I was the first time in a long time is not plagued by images of mouth-watering dishes that I could eat right now. By the way French women believe that the best exercises for the body - is sex. Nip HAPPINESS Why I had never occurred to make a fresh juice for breakfast? In fact, to cut an orange in half, leaving as much time as to what to clean it from the skin, divided into slices, chop and add unsalted porridge. But how much more delicious to drink fresh juice from crystal glass, than to chew on an orange with oatmeal! And why am I not occurred to me that there is a beautiful dish better? I save it for special occasions, but that does not fade, these plates, if from time to time to get them without any excuse, for myself, just to be nice! On a beautiful dish ordinary rice with vegetables becomes almost risotto, and the rush during the meal is not desirable. Apparently, French women are not so wrong: when you know that you can all and always, we no longer need to overeat. Are stopping when you feel that ate. "We need to know when to stop" - like it is safe to say my dad. A feeling that finally understand what he has in mind. Following the recommendations of French, I rise on the fourth floor of the foot and write down everything eaten per day during the diet, and the fact that eat now. It is a shock: it turns out, I eat a little more. Previously, nearly half eaten accounted for nizkokalloriynye snacks, which eventually evolved into a very decent amount of calories. AWESOME NEAR Eclair in Coffee glaze, cream and coconut. Chocolate cake with cherries. Hot pizza with black olives, pineapple and seafood. Macaroni and cheese, in the end! Scary to think what would happen if you put together all the time that I spent dreaming about these inaccessible pleasures. But that's what French women have noticed: if you want ice cream, and you try to replace it with something useful, you do not work. You are the apple instead of ice cream, then dried pear, then some raisins and fortified rye crackers ... But anyway this is over ice, because the body in any case take its toll. Only if the bear for three days, then on the fourth you eat this ice cream is much more than a day when you first got the idea of ??ice cream. RESULT Exactly two months later I pull out of the closet scales. During all this time I never weighed. I feel in the garment, which has recovered. But do not feel that weight gain was catastrophic. Scales indicate 66 kg instead of 64.5 at the beginning of my nice food. I scored one and a half kg. With the growth of 168 cm is a little bit, but for the year with such a diet, I would have recovered substantially. Of course, I'm a little adjust the advice of French women. I will not eat a half bar of chocolate every day, but only on the 3 slices. But certainly having fun! And I'm already enrolled in a gym. It turns out that if you do not sit on a diet, then there are forces to a couple of times a week, aerobics or swimming. Oh, and of course, let's not forget that the most beloved gymnastics French women - is sex.

Minerals

Minerals

Minerals are needed to man as involved in the construction of cells and tissues, the activity of enzyme systems. Distinguish two groups of minerals: macro-and micronutrients. Daily demand macroelements (sodium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron) is measured in milligrams or even grams, and trace elements, which include copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, chromium, nickel, iodine, fluorine, silicon and others, this need for tens or hundreds of times smaller. Let us dwell on some minerals. Salt (sodium chloride) is essential to maintain a certain salt content of blood and the osmotic pressure, which affects the amount of fluid retained in the blood and tissues. With a lack of sodium chloride is dehydrated tissues. Salt also gives a taste food, it improves your appetite. Daily requirement of sodium chloride in a temperate climate is 10 - in 1915 this need table salt, contained in natural products daily diet (3 - 5 g), bread (3 - 5), the salt used during cooking Food Processing (3 - 5), and a minimal amount of salt that is added to podsalivaniya ready meals at the dining table. Salt consumption increases with significant physical exertion, increased sweating, especially in hot climates. Consequently, the amount of salt in the diet when it is necessary to improve. In humans, a lot of calcium salts. It plays an important role in metabolism, contributes to the maintenance of normal excitability of nerve and muscle tissue. With a lack of calcium is observed fragility of bones, poorly formed callus after fractures. Calcium salts are found in many foods, such as cereals, vegetables. However, the most well-absorbed calcium contained in milk, milk products, eggs. Norm of calcium for an adult is 800 - 1000 mg. per day (100 grams of cheese or 0.5 liters. milk provide the daily requirement for calcium). Phosphorus, like calcium, is part of the bone, and is an integral part of the cell nuclei of the nervous system and other tissues. However, the importance of phosphorus for the body does not end there. He is actively involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in certain biochemical processes. The organic phosphorus compounds - adenosine triphosphate - linked energy used in muscle contraction. During intense muscular activity increases the need for phosphorus. Phosphorus, which is in animal products (cheese, cottage cheese, milk, meat, liver, fish, eggs), digested better than the phosphorous compounds of vegetable products (cereals, beans, peas, bread). Of great importance in mineral metabolism has magnesium, which is contained in bones and other body tissues. Exchange its salts correlated with the exchange of phosphorus and calcium. Magnesium salts activate enzymes involved in chemical reactions of phosphorus compounds. Magnesium suppliers are mostly plant foods - bread made of flour, meal, cereals, legumes, potatoes. Potassium is essential for normal activity of the cardiovascular system, as it enhances urination. Many of potassium salts contained in vegetables, fruits, berries (potato, cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini, dried apricots, prunes, apricots, raisins, black currant). Another macro - iron. In some editions of the iron belongs to the trace elements. Need for iron, seemingly insignificant and estimated about 15 mg. a day, but iron compounds are a necessary part of many body tissues. For example, red blood cells (erythrocytes) contain significant amounts of iron. It is also part of certain enzymes. Lack of iron in the diet can lead to anemia. Iron is found in meat, bread, many vegetables and fruits. The trace element copper is involved in the construction of a number of enzymes, has an impact on the processes of intestinal absorption of iron and thus the formation of hemoglobin. Copper is so widespread in foods that are usually doctors do not have to meet with inadequate intake of this trace element. The main sources of copper - bread, cereals (especially oats, buckwheat, millet), vegetables, legumes. Copper is found in liver, seafood (squid, shrimp), walnuts. Zinc is concentrated in the body mainly in skeletal system, skin, hair, as well as other trace elements involved in the formation of certain enzymes. Zinc deficiency in humans leads to stunted growth, sexual maturation. Other manifestations of zinc deficiency - loss of sense of taste or their distortion, reduced sense of smell. Zinc is also required for normal hematopoiesis. Major sources of zinc in the diet - meat, poultry, cheeses, cereals (especially oats), vegetables and legumes. Zinc is also found in walnuts, seafood. The next trace element - manganese - essential for normal human growth and functioning of cartilage and bone tissue protein synthesis. He participates in the regulation of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, promotes formation of insulin - a hormone of the pancreas. Noted that in the blood and tissues of patients with diabetes reduced the amount of manganese. Food sources of manganese are breads, cereals, vegetables, legumes and fruits. In a significant number contained in beets, oatmeal, walnuts, is it in coffee and tea. Note that the manganese content in meat, fish, eggs, dairy products low. The trace element chromium has an effect on carbohydrate metabolism, glucose uptake and its level in the blood. Insulin promotes the enhanced release of chromium from the body. That is why the lack of chromium is often observed in diabetic patients receiving insulin. The highest content of chromium in bovine liver, legumes (soy, beans, peas). Suppliers of chromium are also meat, poultry, vegetables - tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, green onions. Iodine is necessary for the formation of thyroxine - a hormone the thyroid gland. The influence of iodine on the reduction of cholesterol in the blood. Not surprisingly, therefore, that iodine has long been considered one of the most effective means of contributing to the prevention of atherosclerosis. The largest amount of iodine contained in seaweed, marine fish. Iodine is also found in meat, eggs, milk, various fruits and vegetables - beets, lettuce, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, apples, grapes, plums.

Fish oil can be regarded as one of the oldest food additives. It is used worldwide for the prevention of many serious diseases. Russia became the first country where fish oil is widely used by both children and adults. However, in the 70's and 80's in Soviet use of fish oil in children has been banned because of pollution of the sea and fish. The ban was lifted only in 1997. In the mid-70's, after the prohibition in our country on the use of fish oil for medical purposes, in Western Europe and North America were conducted revolutionary research, significantly expand the indications for prophylactic administration of fish oil. These studies have made clear the mechanism of action of fish oil on metabolic and proliferative processes in the body. The first unexpected discovery was antisclerotic effect of fish oil. It was found that the population of Greenland, where a significant proportion of the diet of Aboriginal fresh fish, atherosclerosis develops less frequently and later, there are fewer heart attacks and strokes. Soon antisclerotic effect of fish oil has been confirmed in numerous experiments on animals. It was found that the cholesterol content (the main culprit of atherosclerosis) in the blood of people taking fish oil, maintained at a low level. Already in the late 70's from fish oil have been allocated polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3-(PUFA w 3), and determine its antisclerotic action. Once in the body, they compete with cholesterol, displacing it from the bloodstream. No less important result of research the healing properties of fish oil has been concluded that it contains fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and w 3 PUFA act in the body as a single complex with all components reinforce each other's action. As a result, fish oil normalizes and stabilizes the metabolism, cell metabolism, strengthening their shell (membrane) and cell division. As a result, prevents the development of states, which are based on a violation of division and differentiation of cells, such as erosion, warts, cysts, and others. This, in turn, leads to prevention of cancer themselves. Experiments on animals are regularly receiving fish oil showed a dramatic inhibition of growth of malignant tumors. Violation of environmental, technological revolution has led to a clash of the human body with a huge number of new chemicals, including toxic products. This contributed to a sharp increase in the frequency of various allergic reactions and severe allergic diseases. In the development of allergic processes play an important role sensitivity of epithelial cells of mucosa and skin to biologically active substances such as histamine. It is necessary to increase the sensitivity of cells to these substances, and has a slight stimulating effect of the chemical can cause severe allergic reactions: itching, hives, swelling of the skin and tissues. Often this occurs when the body no specific antibodies to that substance. Allergic manifestations develop only due to toxicity of substances, even weak, and the sensitivity of body cells to histamine. Available in fish oil vitamin A strengthens cell membranes, their lipid layer, and in the presence of w 3 fatty acids, which normalize the composition of adipose tissues, the stability of epithelial cells of the mucous membranes and skin significantly increases the sensitivity of cells to histamine to normal. A related anti-allergic effect of fish oil. There is reliable evidence that the state of pre-diabetes disappears after several months of taking fish oil. There is no doubt that from early childhood to the end of the growth of the organism cod liver oil as a food additive constant need a body, not just as a building material, normalizing calcium metabolism and prevents rickets. Doctors immunologist constantly have to treat children with frequent episodes of inflammatory diseases. Cure the child from bronchitis is relatively easy, but because the most important thing - to prevent recurrent disease. And here, along with the use of immunomodulators, normalizing the immune system plays an important role long-term use of fish oil, which provides for the treatment effect in sickly children. For the prevention of atherosclerosis and cancer, as well as reduce the risk of allergic reactions is recommended during the winter months to use at least 2-4 ml of fish oil a day. Doctors have a saying: "Fish oil should be consumed in the months of the year in which the title is the letter" p "- September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April. Partially receiving fish oil may be replaced by consumption of salted fish or eggs. Children fish oil are beginning to show at the age of 1-2 years - 20 drops under the age of 4 years - 1 teaspoon, up to 8 years - 1 dessert spoon and up to 14 years - 1 tablespoon per day. Currently sold as a quality fish oil domestic (Murmansk and Arkhangelsk fish processing plant) and imported (Norway, Sweden). Pharmacies can also be found in fish oil capsules (1 ml and 1.5 ml). They are also good quality, easy to swallow, since they are covered with silicone. They are widely used by older people in Europe and America for the prevention of multiple sclerosis and tumors. The use of small capsules containing 0.2 ml of cod liver oil, is ineffective as a day even for prevention must take a large number of capsules and, therefore, of gelatin, from which they are made, that is harmful to health. It should be remembered that fish oil has the effect only for the duration of its reception.

Cleansing the body

Cleansing the body

All - the cleaning! From time to time each of us has a grueling fight against itself (excess weight, allergies, skin problems, constipation, dandruff, etc.). In a fit of the health care we refer to procedures that seem to us, and healing, and prevention. This cleansing of the body. Which only way to cleanse the body does not propose! Yes, any! On all occasions! Especially love to clean: a) liver, b) stomach c) blood and lymph. But most of all - the colon. It is believed that if something is and should be cleaned, it is her from her troubles. If a thick (thin) if constipation (diarrhea), if allergies, skin diseases or acne. Of proposals that a clean no end. Advertising offers more than enough. Should I rush to the phone, reading zazyvny text? Peculiarities of the National cleansing: The concept of cleansing the body "- vulgar. After all, clean that dirty. Body "cleans" itself: day and night working kidney, lung, colon, skin, liver ... You can only talk about the normalization of these processes. But those methods that offer advertising as a therapeutic or prophylactic, just savage! Cleaning oil. So usually offer to clean the liver and gallbladder. The "cleaners" assure that leave even the stones. In fact, is a huge burden on the gallbladder, bile ejected clumps, sometimes mistaken for stones. As a rule, not the one who pours the oil, nor those who drink it, do not know: but in what condition the pancreas? The result - an attack. If there is pancreatitis, it generally can result in necrosis. Cleansing enemas. Enema set, in fact, it unpleasant. They enemas are unnatural for the body. You can justify them only in two cases - an enema is needed, when to be examined by a doctor and if a person has a problem (eg, the patient lies after surgery, and "chair" is not). Only then will it show medical enema. Those "shock troops" are doing an enema, and with lemon, several times a week or ten days in a row, do not become healthier. Individual enthusiasts for greater efficiency simply insert one end of the tube to the faucet, the other - into the rectum. After these procedures, a person becomes, first, 100% "zapornikom. Gut lazy and stop working. Secondly, we can get serious complications, up to the perforation of the colon. Thirdly, the person receives dysbacteriosis, washing out all the useful microflora. Cleaning urine. This method, apparently used by amateurs nebrezglivye depuration. Cheap and cheerful. Personal experience, I have not. To be honest, and do not want to have it. Logically, I can not agree with this method. It's slag, a waste that is removed from the body, so even with the disease. And we pushes them back? Cleansing the body of laxatives. This sin, as a rule, a top model. They are taking laxatives in order to exchange processes occur faster. They do not get better. After receiving the shock dose of laxatives nervous system of the colon is severely affected. Intestine did not perceive, completely loses its ability to contract. Wake up killing the gut is almost impossible, although doctors are making every effort for this and try to find at least some points, capable of responding to the impact. Most often caught in a publicity stunt with a dusting of people suffering from some kind of carbohydrate or fat metabolism. Look a man in the mirror - it is necessary to lose weight, look younger, "brush up". But to abandon their traditional way of life, bad habits do not want to. Where is the exit? And man finds it in the consumption of various fat burners and cleaning. All diet pills are based on one principle: to repulse an appetite among fans to eat and destroy the fat stores. But the paradox is that, dropping rapidly five or six kilos, gourmands a short time get fat even more. There are situations confusing. For example, we can somewhat lose weight by rinsing the intestine. Indeed, in colon cleansing improves microcirculation. But, to remove large pendulous abdomen, supposedly removing 5-6 kg of stones, will fail - still need to see why this belly was formed. More often than not the reason the stones, and fat and disease. Indeed, one of the functions of the intestine - sucking, but after clearing the bowel can not suddenly open up "biologically active points, paralyzed by fecal stones." But dysbacteriosis - may well be. Another contingent of applying for clearance - the elderly who suffer from constipation. They need a skilled examination. High blood pressure, for example, is contraindicated in hydrotherapy - can be a heart attack. Real cleansing of the body and as a result, recovery - a long and laborious process. Clean in a gut nothing! Taking place there their own processes. We do not clean the lacrimal gland! Most of the slag, or more correctly, toxins are organic molecules that are soluble in fats. In other words, most of the toxins in the body is stored in adipose tissue and the intercellular space. And remove toxins above methods is fundamentally impossible. Cleansing the body should be directed not to remove toxins from the intestines, which strongly resembles Sisyphean task, but on their removal from the body's cells and intercellular spaces. This principle is the basis of individual selection scheme for purification and rejuvenation of the body.

The product

Olive - Olive - olive

The ancient Egyptians believed that the goddess Isis taught people to cultivate and use the olives. The Greeks also believed that this is Athena, the goddess of wisdom, bestowed upon mankind the olive tree, having won in a contest among the gods on the most useful gift. Whatever it was, for thousands of years in all countries where they grow olives, this oil is considered sacred. Cultivate olive trees in the Mediterranean began six thousand years ago, but only two thousand years ago were made from olive oil. Phoenician traders brought the olive to Spain and Greece and the Greeks then - in Italy. While oil has been one of the most valuable commodities. And today in the Mediterranean is 99% of the olive oil. Local farmers have treated him with great respect and appreciate even more than wine. Olive oil in its history, acted in various capacities - from money to drugs. Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca spent an olive sapling many of his poems, and in particular these lines: "I know your magic, olive tree, you're the blood of the land taken for the world." Until recently, olive oil could be found only on the shelves with overseas curiosities. In 1970 he published a study showing that the peoples inhabiting the Mediterranean countries, the lowest level of cardiovascular disease in Western Europe. Largely the result of active consumption of "liquid gold". Olive oil is 80% of monounsaturated fatty acids, which help raise the level of "good" cholesterol and reduce LDL "bad". In addition to fatty acids in olive oil rich in vitamin E and polyphenols. These substances slow down the oxidation of fatty acids, which, in turn, reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and some forms of cancer. In the late 80-ies in the Western countries started booming olive oil. For one season in 1982-83, the United States was imported almost 38 million liters of olive oil, and in 1997-98 - up to 5 times. Oil from olives pressed under the hot sun of Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey and Portugal. Gathering the olive fruit begins in late autumn. Despite the fact that the types of collection are different - from manual to machine - nearly all of them are equally time-consuming. Olives, plucked straight from the tree - the bitter, inedible due to its high content of substances glycoside okuropeina. Therefore, buying "fresh" olives (even very cheap) makes no sense - they become edible only after special treatment in alkaline solution (the bitterness disappears.) At home, make such treatment possible. Often referred to as green olives, fruit, and black - olives. That's basically wrong. In fact, and black, and green fruits - these olives, but in a different stage of maturation. Olives as they are called because of its high fat content: the more mature fruit, the more oil in them. Therefore, those olives that are used to prepare the olive oil, harvested from the trees fully matured. However, as a separate dish, they are too "fat" (containing up to 50-75% fat!). However, in the color of olives have a lot of options, different varieties yield ripe fruit purple, reddish, blue, and even a whitish color. But the taste of oil is not impaired. But green olives - a product in all respects useful. Their flesh contains sugar, protein, pectin, ash, vitamins B, C and carotene. They are well affect the digestive tract and liver. For hundreds of years the process of making olive oil significantly improve-vershenstvovan and mechanized, but in our day, as well as hundreds of thousands of years ago, olives crushed with stones (which are no less useful than the flesh), the liquid is separated from the cake, and then - the water from the oil. After grinding turns dark brown pasty mass. It is distributed in the round braided nylon mats and strung on a pole. On top of the pile of rugs wear metal circular plate, and an olive paste using a hydraulic press at 400 atmospheres extracted liquid. A mixture of water and oil slowly dripping from rugs to a tank already in it oil rises upward, and the water remains at the bottom. After that the oil can be poured into bottles, in small private farms is usually done manually. Industrial use heavy steel mill, and for separating oil and water - centrifuge. Best Olive Oil - first cold pressed (extra virgin olive oil). To meet this quality, the oil must be extracted from olive fruit only by mechanical means, ie pressing, without the use of heat, have less than 1% acidity and meet certain standards of taste and smell. In addition to this category of olive oil can be seen as (in descending order of value during heat treatment): extra virgin olive oil, pasteurized at 80 ° C (virgin olive oil), refined olive oil (refined olive oil) and simply olive oil (olive oil ). Of olives depends on oil color - from pale yellow to emerald green. Extra virgin grade oil intended for filling dishes, and fried in refined: it does not chadit and is not absorbed into the products. Butter marked with «mix» - a mixture of vegetable oils with just the addition of olive. To make at home to determine whether the product you have purchased an olive oil origin, the experts' Rostest "advise on the day - two to put the bottle of oil in the refrigerator. At present 100% of oil should form a white precipitate - the so-called stearin produced from saturated fatty acids with hydrogen. This sign of authenticity of olive oil unsophisticated consumer is often mistaken for a manifestation of its poor quality. Unlike olive oil, with soya or sunflower oil in the cold cake does not fall because of greater solubility of stearin. In the warm olive oil once again becomes transparent. By the way, keep it in the refrigerator is not necessary: ??a good oil, and under normal conditions, even in the open form, is stored for a long time - up to 2 years.

Do not miss breakfast!

Do not miss breakfast!

For some reason, many believe breakfast is the smallest meal, are limited in the morning empty cup of coffee or even deliberately skip the morning meal due to lack of time and unwillingness to cook. And doing it quite wrong! Nutritionists believe that the breakfast - the most important meal, which should provide about a quarter of your calorie daily diet. According to statistics, people who used to eat breakfast are less prone to stress than those who skip it. A good breakfast - a great way to improve brain function during the day. Those who do not eat breakfast, hardly concentrate on the work carried out, suffer from vertigo, and more often than fans of the morning meal, become participants in road accidents. Many indulge in a morning meal, for fear better. But scientists believe that the "proper" breakfast, on the contrary, promotes weight loss. The fact is that when you sleep, your metabolism slows down and does not "wake up" while you're not going anywhere. So if you skip breakfast, then to dinner your body will burn much fewer calories than he would if you had breakfast. Also includes a free breakfast organism survival instinct, and begins to use the energy collected during the dinner for the creation of fat reserves. Yes, and noticed that those who do not deny itself the morning meal, choose less high-calorie dishes for lunch and dinner. And if so, do not sacrifice a healthy breakfast. Nutritionists recommend starting with a morning cup of water, tea or juice. The fluid helps the body to wake up and start the digestive process. Do not neglect dairy products. Glass of milk or yogurt, a pack of cheese, trapped in your stomach at the beginning of the day to supply the organism valuable B vitamins and vitamin A. Do not be afraid to eat a few slices of bread in the morning. In moderate amounts of bread will not add pounds to you, even if it spread with honey or jam. Well, if you choose a bread meal, your intestines will thank you. Still, experts say the best breakfast cereal. Hot porridge not only helps to cheer up, but also clean the intestines from toxins, and simultaneously controls the absorption of fat from foods eaten per day. Those who in spite of the usefulness of cereals, with a childhood aversion to oatmeal and buckwheat, can replace the cereal dry cereal or corn flakes. Grains contain complex carbohydrates, which for a long time provides the body with energy, rich in fiber, vitamins and microelements. And as usual us a cup of coffee for breakfast, it is also quite appropriate. Caffeine - a great stimulator of the brain. But we should not abuse them: too frequent use of coffee can trigger an attack of angina and increased frequency of cardiac arrhythmias.
