The deficit is long gone, but for some reason we still continue to do so.
1. To make the odd salads
No, you really like on every holiday there is herring under a fur coat? In supermarkets you can buy food from all over the world, but we still somehow continue to build monsters from mayonnaise, pickles, sausage, and crackers. Yet somewhere in the corner of lonely huddled vegetable cutting, we eat these calorie bombs of fat, simple carbohydrates and salt.
2. Eat everything with bread
In the USSR there was something like a cult of bread. Proverbs and sayings, posters eared field, the story of “take care of bread” in every textbook… No, people who survived the famine and war, can be understood, but we are where? Why do we keep on discarded potato, but a piece of bread on the floor perceive downright sacrilegious?
Experts have long agreed that the bread – not the whole head, and often does empty carbs. For example, in the button there is nothing at all useful. The only thing he is doing to our body is deposited on the sides. What kind of bread is useful? Read our review.
3. To drink tea with sugar, and snack biscuits
Their daily norm of sugar (60 grams) you can eat just one such tea party. And the overabundance of sugar in the body is the extra pounds and increased risk of chronic diseases.
4. To eat on schedule
The Soviet people lived by the strict schedule of Breakfast, work, short lunch break, work again, late dinner. So we have a system of three meals a day, which is still living the post-Soviet space.
But scientists say that there are five times a day is much more useful: so we don’t overload the body with huge portions of food. And do not grab the sweets when dinner is still far away, and there are already want.
5. Breakfast porridge
Only useful porridge made from whole grains. But from fast food to refuse. Nothing good in them not – solid sugar and fast carbs.
Anyway, there are so many tasty and useful options for Breakfast. It makes no sense to be limited to cereals. It is better to eat diverse, than there is only one (albeit the most useful) course.
6. There is only seasonal fruits and vegetables
In the USSR there was a myth that metabolism is closely linked to the area of residence. Times, our ancestors did not eat fruit during the winter (especially rain), then we have nothing to start.
But by this logic, it is necessary to refuse not only from bananas and pineapples, but also from potatoes, and cabbage, and pumpkins. These vegetables have started to plant just a few centuries ago: from the point of view of evolution it took very little time, and no adaptation of organism to the product could not happen.
Who experts recommend daily to eat at least 400 g of vegetables, fruits and berries. And they will be Russian, Azerbaijani and Thai – this is not so important.
