Why animal protein cannot be replaced with anything, explains the doctor
Quite often, patients are surprised: wow, Dr. Pavlova actively advocates for moderate consumption of meat, especially red. Indeed, many people usually associate various kinds of vegetarianism and others with a healthy lifestyle.
The fact is that I am constantly confronted with the unfortunate consequences of not eating normal food.
What does the uncontrolled intake of dietary supplements lead to?
Just yesterday, another young woman came to the reception (39 years) with the question: why her skin wrinkles, looks old on all parts of her body. The girl was disappointed with the previous treatment, which did not work.
I asked what was in the previous recommendations.
The patient showed a whole list of all kinds of dietary supplements, and everything had to be bought for special phones for amounts that exceeded the cost of the same drugs in normal stores by several time.
And she came to me because her friend, who was seen by the same doctor, was hospitalized with
toxic hepatitis. Her list of dietary supplements (also purchased by code words and special phone numbers) was even larger.Let me remind you that toxic hepatitis is now one of the most common diseases now, and the uncontrolled prescription of various medicinal and nutritional supplements is to blame for this.
Dietary supplements and vitamins in general are good and correct, but a knowledgeable specialist should combine them. A handful of vitamins for breakfast, lunch and dinner is not normal.
Where is the mistake
I carefully examined the patient's skin - indeed, very wrinkled, not for her age - and asked if she was consuming animal protein.
It turned out that she had not eaten meat for many years.
In full confidence that the collagen drunk in the morning compensates for all the need for protein, well, or most of it. And, in general, already this one violation - rejection of animal protein would be more than enough to lose the good appearance of the skin.
But that is not all. Among the list of appointments was testosterone in the form of a gel and DHEA in capsules - hormonal drugs. Moreover, as it turned out, the girl was not fully examined, no one was interested in her ultrasound of the pelvis and milk glands, but the initial testosterone level, judging by the old analyzes, was normal, closer to the lower limit, but in the norm.
What should make the doctor force prescribe testosterone a woman at a fairly young age, with a normal balance of hormones? Where are specialists given this elixir of recklessness and irresponsibility?
What to do
We will deal with the girl, first of all we will exclude unnecessary dietary supplements and try to return the meat to the diet (some patients, alas, resist).
A balanced diet, physical activity and adherence to daily rhythms is what will safely and effectively help you maintain health in general, and beautiful skin in particular.
