Sweet delusion

Diabetics taken to spare and wish them quickly adapt to their plight and the ban is not the glucose and sucrose. And he sugar - sucrose, a disaccharide consisting of glucose residues and fructose - dubbed the "white death". Although the "white" - it's not quite true, as is sugar and brown. And what about "death" of a few exaggerated: he feared not sugar, and its amount. Patients with diabetes who have impaired production of the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas and regulates the exchange of glucose in the body, of course, be greatly limit their intake of sugar. But patients without diabetes who are struggling with excess body weight, you should not really ignore the sugar, and regard it as "empty calories". Completely eliminate sugar from your diet, as some would like his opponents, it is impossible: glucose and sucrose are included in most foods. In the sugar has no vitamins, no minerals or amino acids, but after all it is easy to implement an energy source. A cup of strong tea with sugar quickly regain strength and gives a charge of vivacity both in physical and in mental work. However, a cup of tea with six spoons of sugar and even in prikusku with candy or marshmallows - a bad habit from which to unlearn. But 10 grams of sugar in drinks and about the same in sweet foods (fruits, sweets) worth keeping in daily diet. We believe: calorie sugar 380 calories per 100 grams, 20 grams - is 76 kcal, that is not much of a caloric contribution. Only need to accurately account for the sugar in the sweets: the jam has approximately the same caloric value as sugar, so that the account must be jam spoon, rather than rosettes, and vysokosaharnye "fruits must be considered individually. For diabetics produce carbohydrate sweeteners (digestible simple carbohydrates): fructose, sorbose, mannose, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, maltitol. The most common - fructose, xylitol and sorbitol. They are sold as powders, as well as part of the diabetic sweets, chocolates and cookies. Actively using the inulin (a polysaccharide formed by the remnants of fructose), isolated from Jerusalem artichoke tubers (Jerusalem artichoke) or chicory. Inulin stabilizes the amount of glucose in the blood and favorably affects cholesterol and uric acid in the body. Carbohydrate sweeteners are natural and harmless, but you need to take into account the choleretic and laxative effect of xylitol and sorbitol. According to the degree of sweetness and caloric carbohydrate sweeteners are similar to sugar, so that they are willing to lose a little fit. But with a sweet tooth perfectly rescue synthetic non-sugar sweeteners nature (different chemical composition) - also known as sweeteners or intense sweeteners. They fit and healthy people and diabetics. The most popular of them - saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame, sucralose, and cyclamate. They are used either separately or in combination with each other, are selected in such a way as to mimic the taste of sugar. But even with careful selection of taste, not all people are equally perceived sweeteners: some do not distinguish them from sugar to taste, while others feel in them a "not a" smack. The degree of sweetness of artificial sweeteners are extremely high, they are tens and hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and calorie content of either zero or negligible in terms of the employed dose. Most artificial sweeteners are not digested by the human body and displayed in an unaltered form. First, these comfortable sweeteners used safely and widely introduced them in desserts and drinks. Later, they studied on laboratory animals have found serious side effects and after a few terrible articles dubbed the "white death" and have begun to shun. It is unfair and untrue. Indeed, in research tested high doses of podslastiley significantly above the commonly used. And historically sweeteners have proven themselves well, especially saccharin. Since the only reckless inappropriate consumption of sweeteners in uncontrolled doses, especially in children and adolescents, which for normal growth and development just prefer regular sugar. Below is a brief description of some artificial sweeteners. Saccharin - the oldest nekaloriyny sweetener. The degree of sweetness (ie, how many he times sweeter than sugar) - 450. Stable during the freezing and heating, keeps the sweetness in the presence of acids, is suitable for any frying and boiling. Aspartame - a dipeptide of two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine. The degree of sweetness - 200. Thermally nestoek, so that is good only for adding to an already prepared for cold drinks and cooking. But its presence enhances the flavor and aroma of fruit. Used in mixtures with glucose, sucrose, acesulfame, cyclamate, saccharin. Acesulfame (or acesulfame K). The degree of sweetness - 200. Thermally and chemically stable. As a sweetener of food it is used, usually in combination with other sweeteners, especially with aspartame, as well as carbohydrates (sucrose, fructose). The most important branch of acesulfame is the production of soft drinks, ice cream, candy, cakes and chewing gum, it is also necessary in the manufacture of medicines. Cyclamate - aminosulfonovoy acid derivatives. The degree of sweetness - 30. Thermally stable, well-kept, used in combination with other sweeteners, as well as the preparation of fruit juices, stewed fruit and confectionery. Sucralose - by its very nature chlorinated carbohydrate, and chlorine in the sucralose molecule makes it biologically inert and completely beskaloriynoy. The degree of sweetness - 600. Thermostable. It is used in the manufacture of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, dairy desserts, canned fruits and vegetables, jams, confectionery and bakery products, sauces, dry mixes, chewing gum. Combined mixtures of aspartame, saccharin, sodium cyclamate and sucralose in various combinations with both fillers (sucrose, glucose), and without them - cvitli. The degree of sweetness varies from 30 to 550. Applied in the form of powder and a sweetener in the manufacture of confectionery and bakery products, beverages, dairy products, desserts, canned fruit. Becoming increasingly popular nature of the glycosidic sweeteners: steviozin, glycyrrhizin and neogesperidin. Glycosides - a substance whose molecules consist of a carbohydrate and non-sugar component. Steviozin (stevioside) is derived from the plant Stevia (honey and herbs). Glycyrrhizin was isolated from licorice (liquorice), sweet roots that have long been used to make candy. Glycyrrhizin include health supplements. Neogesperidin (tsitrozu) is prepared from the peel of citrus fruits. The degree of sweetness - 1800-2000, it is stable at high pressure and boiling in an acidic medium, is combined with other sweeteners and effectively improves the flavoring properties of the products. Currently, the market appeared promising sweetener protein nature, isolated from the African fruit katemfe. He has the highest degree of sweetness - 2000-4000. Of course, for those who do not like sweet, easy to refuse candy and marmalade, indifferent to the jams and cakes and drank tea and coffee, no sugar, no problem. People, to the extent of "respect" sweets and limited by a pair of spoons of sugar per day, it can not worry and do not use sweeteners. But for those who need a sweet high and there are overweight, you should alternate between sugar and sweeteners. Say morning and evening afford to spoon of sugar, and the rest of the night to add to beverages exclusively sweeteners. Diabetes is better to combine carbohydrate sweeteners and non-sugar sweeteners, and check the label if the product is recommended for diabetes. Better yet, consult with your doctor what kind of sweetener to make. In foreign resorts, which in the past decade, Russians have become frequent in eateries and hotels on the dining table is usually exposed pods with white and brown sugar and non-sugar sweetener tablet - the contents of the bag is designed for a cup of tea or coffee. Inscriptions on the bags usually English: white sugar - sugar, brown sugar - brown sugar, sweetener - sweetener. To sum up: in our progressive age it is quite possible to lead a reasonable sweet life and not gain weight and stay healthy. What we will and desire.

Overeating

The term "binge" I put in quotation marks of course because of the subjectivity of the word. In everyday life, the term refers to "not normal" food consumption, energy consumption exceeding the rate of execution of similar work the average person. The following occurs: after the development of our body is over a short period of time we will not arbitrarily decreases in the daily rate of physical exertion. What causes our body into a state of de fitness. Which in turn causes the mode of operation, described by the first postulate. In the blood discharged excess relative to insulin in recalculation to actually do physical work. What causes the penetration into the muscle cells of "unnecessary", with respect to consumption of sugar from the blood. It lowers blood sugar levels, which signals the hypothalamus of the need to restore the average level. A person begins to consume food in such quantity that allows the body to keep the average blood sugar levels with the expectation of "settling" of sugar in muscle cells under the influence of discharge into the blood of excess insulin. That is, the consumption of food goes in your body not to "calculate" calories burned, but only on the change and the level of average blood glucose concentration. Remember this! Further, the composition of muscle cells under the action of the second factor of cell division changes its cellular composition of the cells with a smaller number of insulin receptors. Which in turn displays the hyperinsulinemia in the visible phase, as in other matters, and hyperglycemia. Finally, the last to enter into a fight Diabetes reflex. We start a high-calorie foods, solely for the stimulation of cardiac activity. Those of us who "have acquired" the other reflections of sugar groups to consume these substances, it is primarily about alcohol. Not to mention, and nicotine and caffeine. Extreme manifestations of this process have hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes type II. That's basically it. Hypothesis about the sugar reflection allows us to give a simple explanation of the cases, we must say frankly, overeating, under normal operation of the whole organism. Moreover, with his help we are able to describe any change in the number of obese people. Probably the most important in our theory of what we are doing this purely from the point of view, I repeat once again - the normal functioning of the overwhelming number of great and good "people. This opens up the perspective and gives hope for health for all. Not only the correct figure, but also live a long, long life free from disease and stress. From the book by Irene Aberle.

Krupa

Cereals used in our diet, supplying the body carbohydrates (in various cereals they contain from 65 to 77%), vegetable proteins (7 - 12%), fat (6%), and minerals, including phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamins such as B1, B2, PP, etc. In terms of nutritional cereals can be called a universal product and use for any illness. The same barley suitable for cooking various dishes with a variety of ailments. Using a variety of cooking, we can provide the most gentle mode of the digestive system (liquid and pureed porridge) or call the activation of motor function of the intestine (crisp cereal). Some cereals (rice, oats, barley) with cooking secrete the protein-starch mucus, which is used for cooking soups mucous. These soups are compared with other first courses a little less stimulate gastric secretion, did not cause significant intestinal peristalsis. Mucous soups include diet during exacerbation of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, chronic colitis, accompanied by disorder of the bowel, chronic pancreatitis. Semolina is made from wheat. She quickly fall apart, well digested, contains a minimal amount of fiber (0.2%). Liquid semolina porridge include diet, appointed in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and after operations on the stomach and intestines. Rice, like semolina, contains a minimal amount of fiber (0.4%). The most forgiving dishes are slimy soup with rice and mashed boiled rice. Rice goes well with milk, meat, vegetables and fruits. Crumbly rice porridge, rice pilaf with raisins, pudding, pudding, cakes, and dozens of other dishes from the cereals that can brighten breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some people refuse to rice, fearing to grow stout. However, this meal, carbohydrates which consist mainly of starch, much less contribute to the completeness than cakes, jams and other foods rich in sugar. Caloric content of rice grains is approximately equal caloric buckwheat. Many housewives known ability of rice to absorb the salt. Therefore, it can be used to save the situation when the broth was salty. It's enough to wrap up a handful of cereal in a bag of gauze dipped in the broth and boil it. Some people believe that drinking large quantities of rice is useful in diseases of the joints associated with the deposition of salts. This is incorrect. Fig significant effect on the excretion of salt from the body has not. Millet grain, manufactured from millet is rich in minerals, particularly potassium and magnesium. It is advisable to include millet porridge and soups with millet in diets of Clinical Nutrition in diseases of the cardiovascular system. Often wonder whether you can use dish from millet grains (soups, porridges, casseroles) in diseases of the digestive system, referring to some of the scientific and popular articles, which when specifying diseases razrkshayutsya all grains except millet. Limitation of millet grains at the same time is not sufficiently justified. Buckwheat is rich in vitamins, and the number of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, it has no advantage over other cereals. But its proteins in their amino acid composition are considered most valuable. Buckwheat is rich in lecithin, which makes its application in liver diseases. Patients with diabetes often wondered whether they should opt for buckwheat. In terms of carbohydrate content buckwheat is not significantly different, for example, from wheat. Dishes and side dishes from all major resolved in diabetes in a limited number agreed with the doctor. Barley and barley grits are made of barley. Pearl barley is used for cooking porridge, crumbly, different soups, including the mucous membranes. Eating barley porridge hot. Cooled down, it loses its taste, less digestible. From barley grains prepared as crisp and liquid meals. These grains are useful in diseases of the bowel, accompanied by constipation. Corn grits, in addition to vitamins B1, B2, PP, contains carotene (provitamin A). From corn grits cooked cereal, pudding, which, if included in the diet may to some extent reduce fermentation in the gut. Oatmeal, rolled oats (steamed and flattened grain oats), oat flour (flour made from oat grains) in the number of vegetable fat (6,2%) superior to all other cereals, and so most of calories. They have a lot of magnesium, phosphorus. Cereals should be more widely used for cooking various dishes.

Diet for the heart

So, if you: man or a woman older than 50 years, if you smoke, if your blood relatives have heart problems and they have them under the age of 55 years, if you have excess body weight; objectively available you have at least 2 of these signs, you should always know the level of total cholesterol, HDL and low density, triglycerides and blood glucose level (fasting and after eating). If these tests will record adverse deviation, it must immediately make the correction power. With the help of modern drugs and can lower blood sugar and cholesterol, and blood pressure. But the prevention of cardiovascular diseases is far cheaper than cure. And in the preventative aspect of the importance of healthy eating is hard to overestimate. Conducting controlled studies of different diets, like the ones carried out for unbiased evaluation of drugs, shows the need for change in nutrition in patients at risk of destruction of the cardiovascular system. A prerequisite for such conclusions were the observation of mortality from heart disease in residents of the Mediterranean region. Was carried out research, including 605 patients compared the effect of the "Mediterranean diet" food regime and closer to the nutrition of the U.S. population, the frequency of death from cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes. After 3 years and 8 months it became obvious that in the group receiving "Mediterranean diet", more than half of the patients reported significant reduction in risk of cardiovascular complications. "Mediterranean diet" has shown its advantages in another study: 1000 patients who had at least one of the above risk factors for cardiovascular disease, were divided into groups depending on the recommended diet - the Mediterranean diet or recommended by the American National Education Program to reduce cholesterol. All patients received the same medication. After 2 years in both groups, a decrease in total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, but the fact of reduction of cardiovascular catastrophes confirmed it was in the group with the "Mediterranean diet". In addition, patients in this group significantly decreased need for nitrates and verapamil. What is so special feed the inhabitants of the Mediterranean? Why are food of the Greeks, Cypriots, Italians, and residents of southern France has such amazing properties? It turned out that they have certain eating habits: fruits and vegetables, green culture, grain products (including bread), potatoes. Fat component of food (by the way, even more than the recommended WHO) is about 30%, represented mainly by vegetable oils (mainly olive). Consumption of fish and seafood than meat consumption. Another interesting feature of the Mediterranean diet is drinking red wine. When the researchers tried to expand this power to the components, it was found that fats are unsaturated fatty acids: this is the omega-3 polyunsaturated, oleic, linoevaya, linolenic acid, which not only replaces the saturated fatty acids, which are major substrates for the synthesis of atherogenic fractions of cholesterol and, conversely, have a positive impact, including antithrombotic. Vegetables, fruit, root crops and legumes are rich in potassium, magnesium, fiber and essential micronutrients: bioflavonoids, carotenoids, chlorophyll, terpenoids, etc. Bread wholemeal is a source of B vitamins and fiber. Moderately consumed red wine has positive antioxidant effect due to content of particular substances - polyphenol. From all this it follows that the Mediterranean to the proposed power - a resort for the heart. However, many foods from the diet of the Mediterranean population, we can not eat every day. But to make up their no less beneficial to the cardiovascular system, a menu based on modern scientific knowledge and traditions of domestic cooking is a snap. The most important thing - to increase consumption of vegetables. According to European programs for healthier food consumed in Europe the number of fruits and vegetables is not enough to ensure optimal health and disease prevention. Revealed variations in the huge range: from less than 250 grams per day per person in Russia to more than 1 kg in Greece (ie 4 times more). Full availability of fruits and vegetables in the required amount (400 grams per day), excluding potatoes achieved only in the Mediterranean countries and the Benelux countries. "The full availability" would mean that all the grown fruits and vegetables are eaten. However, in practice did not work: because of spoilage, waste, on average lost about 30% of what is available. Therefore, for an average strip must produce at least 600 grams of fruit and vegetables per capita: not less than 200 grams per day for children and 600 grams - for men. In addition, we must take into account the seasonal shortage of fruit and vegetables. Of course, this raised the problem of state-level maintenance of the population in fruits and vegetables. But we are in some measure ourselves can provide for their families completely available fresh and frozen vegetables (carrots, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, beets, peas and beans, the Bulgarian pepper and eggplant). Power Monitoring conducted by the Institute of Nutrition, showed that the structure of power in families with different income levels is not the same: the higher the income, the more often appear on the table, fruit and vegetables. Be sure to eat at least 2 or 3 fruits per day: whether a handful of currants, half a cup of cherries and berries may be out of the freezer (of course, defrosted). Lean meats should appear on the desk no more than 1-2 times a week. But eat more fish just need, including the one that is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids - oily fish (herring, mackerel) and red fish (trout, salmon).
