Curalotodo are foods that are used for practically everything. Your head hurts, your stomach hurts, you have rheumatism or hypertension, there is always one that solves it.
Many of the products that are part of this “Pseudocategoria” are associated with the word Superfood.
We also have a special mention in this development to the Natural food. Natural, it sounds like music … but what is natural? Difficult answer and if supernatural properties are attributed above and we surpass the natural, things get more complicated.
Natural to what man does not influence. Not a thought. Something is left? A reflection: before the wonderful invention of agriculture, in prehistory, natural harvesting and derived food provided a ridiculous life expectancy. Naturally, that is.
There is a small paragraph when talking about crudivorism. When I write it I move away from the screen, what a bad feeling that word gives. Cooking is nutritionally necessary in many foods. Many have more toxic substances than nutrients, which are destroyed by cooking.
And within the natural we have what Products. Its production within the European Union is regulated to obtain this distinction and has a lot to do with sustainable development. Something that more and more people are pointing to because we begin to see that it is not a romantic dream of four utopians but rather that either we begin to distribute the resources or the Hen of golden eggs will get tired.
In any case, atmospheric pollutants, potentially dangerous microorganisms (only in a certain amount) are described as inhabitants of such products. They are neither healthier, nor do they have any different health effects.
If they like more, it is possible that it is because of their flavor, a good reason to consume them, and as we echoed in the previous entry of the magic of food, the human factor and our conviction is the key to the “placebo” to which we are subjected.
Seven magical Foods fruit of Marketing
Royal jelly
A food that not even modern science with its hypersensitive determination techniques, has managed to isolate, and that is responsible for the many sanitary qualities attributed to it, among which Tuberculosis, ulcers, anemia, etc. stand out. All are cured with the elixir of bees … Of course not! Neither Parkinson’s, nor diarrhea, nor constipation nor flu, but don’t worry, a little pollen will fix it … Also, this substance is not harmless, its nucleic acids in high quantity can be harmful.
Ginseng,
Another Stronghold of the Medicine of the Miraculous and healing Foods is Ginseng, what would be the modern man without it. By the way, red is no better than white. They are equal. Its qualities have been exploited ad nauseam, exaggerating them into a panacea.
Honey
Treated since ancient times as the stimulant of human longevity. What a property to be simply sugar. It has little else in significant quantities, that is if it is also produced by bees, perhaps that is why the healing association such as Royal Jelly.
Lecithin
Less well known, but moonlighting in the food industry, so if it is that good, we already have enough insurance.
We find it in mayonnaise, chocolate, ice cream … and it is present as a phospholipid in the cell membrane, sufficiently synthesized by our body.Why take more? The properties attributed pseudoscientifically are based on its action on fats … the famous fat burners. Fat Burners in Neverland, and many other invented properties.
The yogurt
It is an excellent food. And as many describe it a clear synonym of Natural, although some of us doubt it.
Naturally aided by a technological process that controls its correct preparation, the ferment is taken by millions of people from all over the planet. But, until there.The pro-naturals attribute magical properties to it, and with marketing, its supposed superior properties of certain varieties wreak havoc on the population.
You have to take yogurt, without more. Yes, the one who calls himself natural. And we already get your great benefits. Of course, within a varied, moderate and balanced diet. Without paying a penny more for extravagances or miraculous compositions that adulterate the content or give it flavor, not cure.
L-Carnitine
We are before the queen of hearts, which among its faculties allows the entry of fatty acids into the cellular mitochondria, where they are metabolized.
This is nothing more and nothing less what psudosciences use to invent their fat burning products. Very easy for the industry, “if fat accumulates, it is due to a deficiency of l-carnitine”, Well no! We take to spare and also the body generates it. And what’s more, it regulates its presence.Its use as a complement does not make sense. You will not burn more, this statement being valid for healthy people although in certain pathologies it is used scientifically.
La Espirulina or Spirulina
We are in front of a cyanobacterium that has a spiral shape, from which it gets its bizarre name, but not a curative one. It is used as an appetite inhibitor because it is rich in phenylalanine, although it does not have more phenylalanine than any protein type food….
It will then be its bluish-green color that causes the tricky effect of the substance, because it does not produce miracles, at the moment.Many phytotherapeutics have high concentrations of diuretics, finding a difficult water balance after the abuse of these, Eye, something serious, that does not produce the loss of fat, only water. What a way to fool yourself!
The Vision of the Professional
In general, the products are not magic, they have their properties, and the abuse of slimming or laxatives will not be recommended for this purpose. Following diets is the best way to achieve the desired effect on each organism.
The misuse of medicinal plants and products with a high concentration may have adverse effects, well in some cases they can also be defined as magical !, but bad …
As it is always easy, choosing the right channel, such as that of health professionals, is the best way to eat correctly and achieve the desired effects of slimming or caring for the body.
And if within this world of dietetics, it is suspected that they sell smoke, which unfortunately sometimes also happens, we must also flee and look for the true professional.
