Супрун рассказала, как питаться в период Великого постаGreat post 2019: Suprun told how to eat with benefit for health.

“Many Ukrainians in the period of Great lent strictly limit your diet. If you or your family observe lent, we must know how about the positive aspects to be followed constantly, and about the limitations that will not bring anything good,” wrote Suprun in his Facebook.

The head of the Ministry of health called the pros and cons of lent:

Less meat is good

Great post – a reason not to eat processed meats, i.e. sausages, frankfurters and smoked meats. It increases the risk of certain types of cancer, and hypertension and lipid metabolic disorders.

More vegetables – even better

You can eat mostly rice, white bread and potatoes and run into the lack of vitamins and protein. And you can eat a variety of plant foods and get the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and as a result, have a healthy bowel, blood vessels, brain, skin and a strong immune system.

Beans is not only the beans

Legumes in the diet is good, and not just in the post. They have b vitamins, essential for the formation of neurotransmitters, and trace elements potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and manganese. It is also a source of complete protein, that is essential amino acids. In addition, legumes is fiber and hence a healthy gut and a healthy level of cholesterol.

Lent is an occasion to remember about mushrooms

White mushrooms, champignons, shiitake, oyster mushrooms and other mushrooms contain a lot of amino acids, glutathione, fiber, beta-glucan, the trace element selenium, fat, choline, vitamin D, antioxidant rich in ergothioneine – that is, the set is quite unique and much needed nutrients. Two servings of mushrooms per week can reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly.

Follow a low-fat diet is dangerous

Lent provides almost complete rejection of animal fats. That will give us a fat-free diet?

Follow a low-fat diet can be beneficial for people with obesity and disorders of lipid metabolism. But they should be observed for months and years, not 49 days. That is, rejection of fats during the fasting period the health will not improve fundamentally.

Fat has vitamins a, E and D, cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Without these vitamins won’t work the immune system, and eyesight will become worse. The lack of cholesterol in the diet increases the risk of depression and abnormalities in formation of sex hormones.

To avoid vitamin deficiency caused by lack of fat, eat nuts and seeds. Combine them with carrots or dried apricots – so a fat-soluble vitamin And is better absorbed.

Remember – “lean” Margarines cookies and catering are sources of TRANS fats. And TRANS fats increase the inflammatory background and contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Regularly eat soy products, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, corn and spinach – all this together will help replace eggs in the diet.

Vegetable alternative to milk products will be a huge bowl of sauerkraut. It contains comparable amounts of calcium, and probiotic lactobacilli.

Bad to eat only cereal

In a post have somewhere to take calories, and this source becomes carbohydrates. On the one hand, in the cereals – buckwheat, barley, wheat, millet, oats, corn – in addition to carbohydrates have fiber, minerals, b vitamins and protein. Each of these grains has its own superpowers. For example, barley and oat normalize cholesterol levels, corn contains selenium, and buckwheat is high in iron. Kashi go well with pumpkin seeds and flax, and mushrooms.

On the other hand, should stay away from food some carbohydrates, especially white bread, white rice and pasta. They have a high glycemic index, and that such a diet leads to the deficiency of vitamin B1, the occurrence of constipation and weight gain.
