Monitor their health, eat right and exercise - now it has become fashionable. To be in a form that we give up meat and eggs, we replace animal fats with vegetable, prefer low-fat dairy products, and we believe the calories.
But it turns out, not all "food" statements that we used to take genuine, really are. American nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert conducted the study and is willing to share with us his findings.
1. There are a lot of eggs - it is harmful. In the last decade there is a perception that eating eggs need a minimal amount, as they are high in cholesterol. Indeed, many - confirms nutritionist. But this is not the cholesterol, which is to be feared.
"In fact, the systematic consumption of eggs leads to increased levels of HDL - the" good "cholesterol, which reduces the risk of many diseases," - says nutritionist. According to her, many studies show that eating eggs is not associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, chicken and quail eggs are rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids unique. Modern science says that an adult man can perfectly safe for your health to eat three eggs a day. Although evidence that consumption of eggs in larger quantities would bring some harm to the body, and yet not.
2. Vegetable oils useful animal fats.Recently, scientists have found that polyunsaturated fats lower rates of heart disease, in relation what many people believe that vegetable oils, such as sunflower or rapeseed oil - is very great. But the fact that polyunsaturated fats have several species, mostly omega-3 (we get them from fish and meat) and Omega-6 (their main source of grain).
"It is important that the Omega-3 and Omega-6 are in a certain balance, but many people eat too much omega 6 and not enough omega-3," - says Lambert. Moreover, because of the oil of cereal scientists now just associated with an increased risk of heart disease. A further threat lies in the chemicals that this raw material is processed. Nutritionists advise increased consumption of omega-3 and not to abuse vegetable oils, except coconut and olive.
3. The meat is harmful.Most of the meat, which we see on the shelves of modern supermarkets, has nothing to do with the fact that our ancestors ate. Animals grown in captivity, and meat lends itself processed. Particularly harmful to the health of finished food products - sausages, frankfurters, etc., they are the cause of various diseases and early death.
But deli meats from red meat, cooked at home once a week, it is possible for itself to allow, says nutritionist. Since careful balance is needed, and completely excluded from the diet of some products can not be a group, because it threatens the lack of certain vitamins and minerals.
4. All calories are the same. Many believe that in order to lose weight, create enough body calorie deficit. In this formula, it is possible, if you really want to replace the 400 calories of broccoli 400 calories of ice cream. It is not so assured nutritionist.
"Different food in our body follows different metabolic pathways and the food we eat can have a direct effect on hormones that regulate what, when and how much we eat, but also on the fact how many calories we burn, "- notes Lambert. The product has the so-called "satiety index" and "glycemic index," it is much more important than counting calories. Try to eat foods with a high glycemic index (beef, eggs, legumes, fruits), and avoid sweets, from which you will very quickly want to eat again.
5. Fat fattening. This statement appeared in the distant 70-ies of the last century. And then the buyers, especially women customers who monitor the volume of his waist, began to buy up the shelves with products marked "low fat" and "low fat", often not paying attention to the fact that some of these products contain a lot of Sahara.
"Despite the fact that a gram of fat contains more calories than a gram of protein or carbohydrate diet high in fat does not make people fat," - says nutritionist. According to her, gaining weight people who consume large amounts of fat in combination with carbohydrates and fats are not to blame here. In this case, it is important to pay attention to the quality of fat intake, so that they are "healthy" - such as oily fish, avocado, not sweet (but not low fat!), Yogurt, nuts, butter.
By the way, milk products is considered to be a source of calcium, but without the fat is not absorbed by the body of calcium. Therefore, low-fat cottage cheese or yogurt do not saturate your body with these important micronutrients.
