The body of every resident of a large city is daily attacked by many harmful factors leading to premature aging. This can be effectively counteracted … in the kitchen.
It is hardly possible to eliminate all the dangers (polluted air, exorbitant noise levels, harmful radiation from computers, mobile phones and other gadgets, etc.), but we are fully within our power to weaken their destructive effect. To do this, it is enough to include the right foods and drinks in the menu.
Berries
The main role in the healing of the body is played by the content in berries antioxidants… It is they who fight against harmful free radicals, reducing their harmful effects on cells, leading to premature wear and tear. It is generally accepted that red wine is the best drink with a high antioxidant content. However, according to many experts, the matter is not so much in wine as in grapes of dark varieties, in the seeds and skins of which these substances are located. Moreover, other berries with a red or dark color have the same properties: prunes, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, plums, etc. And from drinks, green tea is very useful in this regard.
Vegetables
Fibrecontained in vegetables, this is a kind of brush for general cleaning of the body. It not only cleanses the intestines of food “waste” and toxins, but also contributes to normal peristalsis. Fiber-rich foods are available year round and at budget prices. Among vegetables, this is primarily cabbage of various varieties, carrots, beets, pumpkin, turnips, greens, etc. An excellent source of fiber is bread (especially whole grain), from cereals it is most in buckwheat, and the record holder for fiber content is bran.
In addition, a good means of cleansing and natural rejuvenation is pectin (a type of fiber). Include apples, oranges, tangerines, black currants, cranberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and other berries and fruits that contain it.
Milk
There was a time when milk was given free to workers in hazardous industries as a “neutralizer” of toxic substances. And for good reason: milk is a natural fat-soluble emulsion that can form compounds with fat-soluble harmful substances and remove them from the body. Milk proteins are also capable of forming compounds with heavy metal salts and removing them from the body. Those who cannot tolerate milk can replace it with fermented milk products, and also include cottage cheese and cheeses in the diet.
