The average person's diet is rife with unhealthy foods like never before. Everything useful disappears after industrial processing. Harmful ingredients are added that are beneficial to the manufacturer and not to the consumer (for example, preservatives and flavor enhancers).
It is very difficult to give up harmful products right away, especially when addiction is already taking place (emotional or physical - it does not matter). However, it is worth starting to change food preferences, to feel the benefits of the changes - and then there will be enthusiasm and a desire to move on. Here are some simple steps to take to improve your diet. Nothing complicated or extreme:
- Replace sugar with honey. White sugar is very harmful.
- Buy or bake your own bread without using yeast. Yeast negatively affects the intestinal microflora.
- Substitute brown rice for white. The shell of the grain contains more vitamins, minerals and fiber.
- Give preference to jacket and baked potatoes, not mashed potatoes and fried. The main beneficial trace elements and substances are contained in the peel, potatoes themselves are pure starch.
- Eat green buckwheat instead of brown (fried). Even better is to germinate it.
- Replace cow's milk with goat's milk if it seems too difficult to completely refuse milk. Goat's milk contains less casein than cow's milk, therefore it is closer in composition to that of a woman's;
- Observe the drinking interval of 15 minutes before meals and an hour and a half after. Otherwise, the water dilutes the gastric juice, so digestion is impaired.
- If possible, prefer dried fruits to confectionery (or at least homemade baked goods). Confectionery (at an affordable price) contains a lot of harmful components of purely synthetic origin.
- Drink herbal teas instead of regular tea. By the way, they are much more delicious and provide a variety of choices. You can, for example, even drink echinacea without waiting for a "reason" in the form of a cold or sore throat. The same will be true for ginger, mint and lemon balm.
- Replace drinks and juices in packs with freshly squeezed juices. Fresh juices are very rich in vitamins and are well absorbed.
As you can see, no sacrifices are required.
