foundation of health

Eating habits forming the foundation of health. Eating habits Even my grandmother used to say that all of our eating habits are formed in childhood and affect the rest of your life. And if good habits, uniquely, prolong our lives, the bad eating habits that are more resistant and difficult to eradicate, because people initially weak and unable to resist them, set in motion the forces which, in the end, destroy the person. And a person who does not have enough willpower to resist their harmful eating habits, gets first malfunction of the organism, and then disease. After that, the road is known to many - to the doctor! But! Recently I came across here on a saying of Voltaire: "Doctors - people, prescription drugs, about which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know even less, a person of whom they do not know anything" and thought that over the centuries, this picture treatment of a human has not changed. I in no way have nothing against doctors. Simply modern medicine goes further and further away from the tenets of Chinese Ancient physicians, India, Greece, etc., Which proceeded from the fact that the disease is to treat the organism with the help of Nature, and the doctor be the only mediator between them. The modern medicine has made a bet on the drug, a chemical compound which is very far from nature. Therefore, thousands of preparations, appear in the world every year for the "treatment" of certain diseases, have nothing to do with the "recovery" of the people and do not add to our health. More and more convinced that medicine, and most doctors today do not care about public health and commercial interests: the physician prescribing the drug, says the patient, and must be purchased in a pharmacy because for which he (she) receives dividends. In my life four years ago there was one funny sad story, deliver, finally, a fat point in my relationship with physicians. Then I had to call my husband, "ambulance" and then buy the drug for the treatment recommended by the doctor. When her husband three days later went to the reception to the local doctor, she strongly "undo" the previous medication ( "Now I'll write you something that will help quickly and efficiently!") And pointed pharmacy, where you had to buy her prescription drugs. Truly, the words of W. Shakespeare: "Rogue requires: purse - or life.

The doctor takes and purse, and life. " So what can we do to for many years to maintain their health, or even defend against international drug syndicate? - Realize that human health, almost, depends on a full natural foods, and force yourself to (most) to build a healthy future for themselves and their children, generating useful eating habits. Yes Yes Yes! With the phrase: "Eating habits are formed in childhood and affect the rest of his life" every sane person would agree, because - "Man is what he eats!" Do not open America, but I repeat: the human body has immense reserves and the ability to self-regulation. And just something simply to do this with every meal to give him a set of biologically active substances, vitamins and trace elements, nature has to offer. To learn how to develop eating habits in young children, we have already spoken. Now we will talk about how to create a useful dietary habits in older children and adolescents.

Attention! The following paragraph is slowly read, understand every word: You will create a foundation for long preservation of health for your child, if you teach him to understand the food. Many harmful eating habits generated in children and adolescents under the influence of such adult habits, it would seem, without any harm to the body of the young, at the age of 30 suddenly become active destroyers of health. Those. young with a strong immune system, consuming harmful products, himself inflicts heavy "artillery" strikes, destroying the complex metabolic system and creating new, often incurable, illnesses. We eat to live! To live a healthy happy life. And we want our children and grandchildren to be healthy in the first place. So the best thing we can do is to show by example a child, how to treat food and should have.

First. Create your children healthy eating habits with respect to food, learn to perceive it as one of the enjoyable aspects of life - because the appetite center in our brain associated with pleasure center. Food is eaten with pleasure, the body carries only positive energy.

Second. Introducing useful eating habits, do not resort to the notation and teachings. An indispensable component of education in the family - an imitation. Children are sure to imitate you if they see that you are having fun, choosing the best products and preparing a healthy meal of them.

Third. One way to awaken an interest in good food - family meals. Involve children in compiling a menu, buying food and preparing meals. Let them try their hand at cooking, do not require a lot of experience, but help acquire useful eating habits.

Fourth. Develop a child's ability to appreciate good food. To do this, fit a variety of television programs: competitions of cooks, cooking shows, reviews of the food preparation in different countries; good books about cooking, as well as your ability and ingenuity in preparing home meals, delicious and healthy breakfast, gourmet meals for dinner. And rest assured, useful dietary habits will not keep you waiting.

Fifth. Try to wean children from chewing all kinds of sweets in front of computer or TV, but be realistic - they are after all, the children, and can be influenced by excessive and intrusive advertising of fatty and sugary foods and drinks. In contrast to advertising cook food that meets the needs of the growing organism, but with a small amount of fat and refined sugar. And for snacking are great fruits and dried fruits.

Sixth. In formulating useful food habits of the child, never force it is! Suppose he decides he is fed or not. Children grow irregular, and, of course, they have the appetite from time to time changes. If you force them to eat all that lies on a plate, they may lose their ability to regulate their food needs. And this is fraught with the development of obesity later in life.

And finally, I repeat: If you want to instill in their children useful dietary habits,

Make the foundation of your family's diet of vegetables and foods rich in carbohydrates: potatoes, rice, pasta. Make sure that your home was always lots of fresh fruit, giving preference to fruit grown in the local region. Teach your children to prepare their own meals at least pasta with tomato sauce, pizza with tomato sauce, sliced ​​vegetables and grated cheese, apple pie, muffins, muffin with fruits. All of this will strengthen the food habits for good food. If it so happened that both you and your child are fond of sandwiches from fast food (burgers, hamburgers, etc.), then at least prepare them at home in a more useful option for health. For example, try a veggie burger recipe in Italian. Or cook the usual sandwiches, but with the use of rolls and bread from whole wheat flour and crisp green salad.
