7 of harmful products that have recognized the benefit (photo and description)

Popcorn popcorn has long ceased to be a delicacy and has become almost mandatory in any film show. It's the tainted its reputation. To sell more, bars, cinemas corn cooked with lots of sugar and fat, which increases its calorific value at times. And the size of the portions you've seen? In a large bucket can contain up to 1200 calories (!), Which is slightly less than the recommended dose of daily intake for women. In fact, the popcorn in its original, form of marketing is not broken - quite a useful product. It has a lot of fiber, which helps to improve digestion, reduce blood sugar levels and ultimately helps to not gain weight. According to the American Public Health Association, popcorn lovers for 28% less likely to suffer from various diseases of the digestive tract, and recently found out that corn is also full of antioxidants. Thus, this seems to be the enemy of health, not only cleanses the body, but also protects against cancer. By the way. On the "cine" a bucket of popcorn never find information about its composition and nutritional value. But such a label must be put on packages of popcorn for home cooking. It costs 8-10 times less prepared for 3-7 minutes in the microwave or in a frying pan, plus you'll know exactly how much salt, sugar and food additives have received.





Potato This root has long been a taboo for those who fear the extra pounds. It was believed that because of the high starch content (which essentially is a combination of glucose, ie, sugar), the nutritional value of potatoes is practically equivalent to some chocolate. It is full of carbohydrates, blood sugar rises rapidly after a meal - hence more likely to become fat, and along with the risk of diabetes. But recently, nutritionists are increasingly inclined to "justify" potatoes. There is an opinion, and he's got a lot of supporters that the starch in potatoes is actually processed by the body very slowly and thus does not settle in the form of fat, and consumed as energy. The level of blood sugar rises and falls as slowly, it gives a feeling of satiety, and satiety, in turn, protects you from unnecessary snacking, and the calories. By the way. Caloric content of potatoes is relatively small: only 80 calories per 100 grams. Therefore, based on the product has got its own mono-diet. Important! To avoid getting fat, eating should be as fresh potatoes. While she is (especially at low temperatures), the starch in potatoes can be decomposed into glucose, and from it has no benefit will not be.





Chocolate Sweets sweets strife. And chocolate is chocolate, too. On the one hand, there a lot of sugar and fat, on the other - these vegetable fats, and therefore harmless and even beneficial for the heart. But this argument "for" chocolate does not end there. The source material for this product - cocoa butter - full of substances that have beneficial effects on many organs and body systems. For example, theobromine calms and heals the nerves, a special kind of antioxidants to protect skin from premature aging and hormones, serotonin and dopamine, in which also affects the production of chocolate, regulate our mood and increase the efficiency of the brain. Some doctors even recommend it as an antidepressant, and scientists from the University of Copenhagen say that with the help of chocolate ... you can lose weight. According to their study, the product slows down digestion - if you eat a piece before dinner, you end up with fewer calories and consumers longer retain a sense of satiety. Important! Since the main benefits of chocolate is in the cocoa beans, is to consume a product with the maximum of their content. Look for the bitter chocolate (65% cocoa or higher - it should be written on the package), as well as a product with an indication of the cocoa mass in the composition. In milk chocolate cocoa just 20-35% or more of the animals - is not useful - fat. In the white chocolate cocoa at all.





Coffee dispute between coffee people, and is akin to a fairy antikofeinschikami battle between good and evil: the advantage is that from time to time on one, then on the other side, but the final point is unlikely to ever be staged. However, recently the warring parties seem to compromise. Some acknowledged that in some cases, coffee is really harmful, while others agreed that the bad does not even drink itself, and the excesses of consumption. If, however, comply with dosage (no more than 4 cups per day average), you can: a) improve the cardiovascular system and prevent the development of hypertension and atherosclerosis, and b) to improve memory, concentration and ability to protect against dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and c) to lose weight ! Coffee speeds up the metabolism and suppresses your appetite a little, for a total of excellent nutritional formula. Important! Coming to the cafe, many people think that a cup of coffee instead of a full breakfast or dessert will save them from the extra calories. This is not always the case.

The wine here, as with coffee, the main thing - in moderation. Several studies have shown the benefit of regular, but in any case not binge drinking, both for health and for the figure. Thus, 1-1,5 glass of red wine a day strengthens the tooth enamel and protect against tooth decay. This also reduces the risk of a drink of cardiovascular disease, degenerative brain disease (dementia), and even breast cancer. A recent British psychologists found that women who drink regularly and gradually, on average, thinner than the absolute trezvennitsy. By the way. The most "bespohmelnym" liquor is recognized - you'll be surprised - Russian vodka. The point, as it turned out, not in the fortress, and in preparation technology, because withdrawal symptoms are due to food additives and flavorings, and not the alcohol.





Fat cheese and milk are not recommended, not only for those who want to lose weight. Milk, like any other animal fats, raise the cholesterol level, and thus indirectly lead to the development of atherosclerosis and ultimately to heart attacks. But! This is true only if a person already has problems with the cardiovascular system, in particular - raised cholesterol. If you believe in the health of its "engine", cheese and milk will only benefit you, and yes - it is fat. Indeed, in many dairy products, calcium, and vitamin B, and neither one nor the other is not absorbed properly without enough fat. Also last year, researchers found that milk fat contains a substance called CLA. It is, paradoxically, prevents the formation of fatty deposits in the body and, therefore, than the high-calorie product, the less it will affect your body. By the way. One of the most famous theorists Robert Atkins Diet (the author of popular weight loss system, named after him) also advised their patients to push it to the vysokozhirovye cheeses and yogurts. The Atkins diet is based on a minimum consumption of carbohydrates, while fats and proteins resolved in fairly large quantities, and the effectiveness of this system have confirmed millions of fans.

Pasta Sitting on a diet wishing to lose weight the first thing forbid a sweet and flour. From the nuances of the choice of sweets, we figured out now about the flour and its varieties. The most harmful pastry - any baking, and everything that is done by adding a large amount of margarine and wheat flour. This product contains a large amount of harmful trans fats for the heart and solid carbohydrate, and they are equivalent in its effect of sugar. It is quite another thing - whole grain bread and pasta. If the flour is made from whole grains (it is called, or peeled wallpaper, and in part may be specified "durum wheat"), it retains most of the vitamins and fiber, and most importantly - does not give fast, and so-called slow carbohydrates, which are gradually processed by the body, do not contribute to excess weight and increase the risk of developing diabetes. Moreover, black bread and pasta from durum wheat must be present in your diet. They supply the body vitamins, improve the digestive tract and, according to a study, University of London, prevent the formation of fatty deposits in the waist area. Important! "Newly discovered" good pasta - is not a reason to organize a holiday in the stomach of some Italian eatery. By itself, pasta, of course, be useful, but that's all kinds of sauces, preparing, based on oil, heavy cream, bacon, etc., increase the nutritional value of pasta lunch at 2 or even 3 times. And those extra calories by themselves are not going anywhere.
