Many people say that you should only eat healthy foods. Then the question arises, how to find out which food is truly healthy and useful for a particular organism. Is it possible that for each individual there are healthy foods? After all, even doctors cannot agree on a common opinion about healthy food.
Functional nutrition
This concept originated back in 1980 in Japan at the nutritional congress. This term means saturation with all the necessary substances of the human body. Nowadays, in Japan, a whole range of food products have already been scientifically proven, with regular use of which there are no serious health problems.
Principles of functional nutrition:
- It is necessary to eat foods containing a large amount of plant fibers, as they are able to cleanse the body of toxins. These are flakes, muesli, bran, and dairy-free cereals.
- Probiotics are dairy foods (kefir with bifidobacteria) that are able to regulate the intestinal microflora. Such products can be purchased at any store, just before buying you should pay attention to the composition.
- Prebiotics. These include raw vegetables and fruits that are high in vitamins.
- Every day a person needs to consume a spoonful of oil, olive oil is best for this purpose, but you can also limit yourself to sunflower oil. The oil does an excellent job of regulating metabolism.
- Eating seafood and river products. Fish should be eaten at least twice a week. It is seafood that contains a very large amount of trace elements necessary for the body that can improve brain function.
Each organism requires its own "healthy food"
Of course, it is impossible to give an unequivocal answer about the harm or benefit of this or that food. Therefore, scientists have introduced another concept: biochemical individuality. What is it?
It happens that the body cannot accept food that nutritionists recommend. For example, if a person is accustomed to constantly eating meat, then when he is transferred to plant foods, he may develop depression and health problems. Therefore, we can say that only those nutritionists are right who advise you to eat what you want. Another question is that we cannot adapt to the needs of our body.
Listen to your body, give it what it requires and in the right amount, then you will never have big health problems. Food for humans is like fuel for a car. The car requires the right amount of a certain type of fuel, and the body, you need to understand what and in what amount should be used. Then you will forget what health problems are.
