Slimming Products

What is effective for losing weight ...


When it comes to weight loss, consuming the right types of foods can play the same role as simply reducing portions.
Some foods can help keep blood sugar levels stable, while others can help you feel full for a longer period, and even contribute to fat loss.


First of all, experts who published their research in the Journal of Medicinal Food recommend paying attention to coconut oil.
The substances that it contains are used to produce energy, and are not stored as fat.
Apple cider vinegar is a rich source of vitamins and amino acids.
The consumption of apple cider vinegar before a high-carb meal can discourage cravings for sweets and increase insulin sensitivity.


Also to the products that effectively contribute to the burning of fat are lemons.
In people with normal levels of vitamin C, 30% more fat is oxidized during exercise in the body.


Regular consumption of the above products helps to lose weight without significant effort.

The nine poisonous foods we eat daily.

The food that we are accustomed to eat every day and which seems to us appetizing, can be a real poison for the body. 

1. Raw smoked sausages 

The danger of uncooked smoked sausages, which are often found in our refrigerators, lies in the fact that no one smokes them for a long time. Today, many manufacturers use smoke liquids, which contain hazardous formaldehyde. However, cooked sausages should also be avoided - they are made from genetically modified soy.

2. Red caviar

Red caviar is stored for a very short time, and its shelf life is shorter than the time of transportation from the places where it comes from. Manufacturers found two ways out - to salt the product strongly or to freeze. But there is a third (fairly common) option - add urotropin or citric acid. The output is formaldehyde (a colorless gas with a pungent odor, irritant, toxic).

3. Lollipops

Often in candies you can find various chemical essences that are very harmful to health. A lot of frightening videos with experiments appeared on the Web, clearly demonstrating what happens in a person's stomach when there is candy. The results are sometimes so frightening that you will not want to eat a lollipop for a long time.

4. Sprats

Conscious manufacturers do not hide from their citizens that the product contains the carcinogenic substance benzpyrene, which is a substance of the first hazard class. Carefully read the composition of the products before you buy something.

5. Dairy products with a long shelf life

Surely you noticed that pasteurized milk stored in the refrigerator in the open can be stored for weeks, while experts say that if milk is stored for up to two weeks, then this is the permissible norm, and if more, antibiotics are added to the product. 

6. Watermelons and melons

Buying watermelons before August is deadly for your health. And it is best to abstain until September - then there will be more chances to eat a watermelon, ripened without additional processing.

7. Hens

The broiler meat, which to date has filled the shelves of all meat departments, cannot be grown without growth hormones. Chickens are fed a large number of female hormones, including progesterone, and therefore their meat becomes hazardous to health.

8. Cream cheese

Doctors claim that this product is completely not absorbed by the stomach. Nevertheless, the popularity of curd cakes does not decrease, mainly because of their low cost.

9. Sweet Carbonated Drinks

Sweet carbonated drinks are a mix of sugar, chemistry and gases. A well-known fact - Coca-Cola, for example, eliminates limescale and rust. After that, I don’t want to know what happens to the stomach. Juices in packages that have long been called natural are no less harmful.

The benefits of selenium

In 1980, selenium was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the indispensable components of nutrition. And this is completely deserved, because selenium is a very important element. From the article you will learn what the benefits of selenium are, what foods contain selenium and how to get enough selenium.

BENEFITS OF SELENIUM

Selenium is famous for its pronounced antioxidant properties: it reduces the amount of fat peroxidation products. Thanks to this, the anti-cancer effects of selenium on the body are implemented. Selenium stimulates the immune system, contributes to the normal growth of cells, accelerates the healing and recovery processes in the body.

The beneficial properties of selenium were proved only in the 1960s, before that selenium was considered toxic. But, as they say, everything is good in moderation. Indeed, doses higher than recommended may cause selenium poisoning. But in the modern world it is very difficult to get an “overdose” of selenium, since it is contained in small quantities and by no means in all products. Read more about this in the second part of the article.

Back in the 1960s. Then scientists proved that selenium deficiency is associated with a disease such as dystrophy of the heart muscle. With selenium deficiency, vessels, liver, pancreas suffer. Dystrophy of the pancreas leads to the fact that fat ceases to be absorbed and, accordingly, there is a deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, D, K). In addition, the effect of selenium on reproductive function was found. Men with adequate intake of selenium got rid of infertility, while women reduced the likelihood of miscarriages.

But, of course, the most stunning was the discovery of the anticancer properties of selenium. The administration of such a powerful antioxidant as selenium to animals was accompanied by a marked decrease in the number of tumors. Further experiments on animals were confirmed by epidemiological observations: in those areas where the selenium content in the soils was medium and high, mortality from lymphoma, cancer of the digestive system, lung cancer and breast cancer was significantly less, in contrast to areas with low the content of selenium.

The biochemical mechanisms by which selenium exerts its anticancer effect are as follows:

• stimulation of immunity. Every day, cancer cells form in every person, but as long as the immune system is strong enough, it can prevent the development of a tumor in the body.
• protection of membranes and cell DNA. Being an antioxidant, selenium protects the cell membranes and also prevents the genetic change of DNA, thus contributing to the normal growth of cells.

In addition to cancer patients, selenium deficiency is found in patients with cystic fibrosis, with polycystic infections, bronchial asthma, thyroid diseases, autoimmune diseases, and alcoholism. Naturally, such patients should think about the sources of selenium entering their body.

So, selenium is necessary for:

• cancer prevention;
• increase immunity;
• reproductive system health;
• acceleration of healing processes, including erosion and ulcers;
• treatment of cancer patients with primary therapy;
• treatment of patients with asthma, patients with autoimmune diseases, diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver and pancreas, with polycystic diseases and nodes of various localizations;
• protect the body from heavy metals, including strontium.

It is important to understand that modern people, often living in adverse environmental conditions and chronic stress, urgently need selenium as the strongest antioxidant.

Foods rich in selenium (per 100 g of product):

• Brazil nut - 2000 mcg
• coconut - 810 mcg
• pistachios - 450 mcg
• pork kidneys - 270 mcg
• dried oyster mushrooms and porcini mushrooms - 100 mcg
• tuna, lamb kidneys, crabs, lobsters - 90 mcg
• chicken, pork, beef, duck liver - 40-70 mcg
• eggs (including quail), garlic, raw pork lard, corn, rice, beans, feta cheese, white bread - 20-40 mcg
• semolina, peas, buckwheat, oatmeal, cheese - 10-15 mcg

However, it is worthwhile to understand that not every day we eat in proper quantities seafood and high-quality Brazil nuts. And some people don’t tolerate seafood at all. Pork kidneys are also far from the number one product on our table. In other words, in real life it is almost impossible to satisfy the need for selenium. Therefore, to maintain a normal life and immunity needed for  supplementation of selenium in the composition of vitamin and mineral complexes.
