Do you really trust
nutritionists?
Proteins, Carbohydrates
and weight
Carbohydrate-restricted diets work better than other weight reduction diets, but only in the short term
Low fat diets work too
Both are difficult to maintain for very long periods
Replace high-energy foods and empty calories (sodas, creams, junk food) with low-energy foods (fruit & veg.) and water
Replace refined cereals (white bread) with wholegrain products and legumes
Replace (refined) carbohydrate with (unsaturated) fats can help, but no need to make extreme choices
Increase physical activity
Antioxidants
The concentration of antioxidants from food reaches very low levels in the organism (much lower than glutathione)
Not all oxidative processes happening inside the body are necessarily negative
Bioactive substances in fruit and
vegetables might work through mechanisms other than protection from oxidation and at low concentrations: no need to use supplements and supplemented foods!
Dairy Products &
Bone health
ALLEGATIONS TO DAIRY PRODUCTS
Milk contains a lot of sulphur aminoacids, which could generate sulfur acid inside the body
A more acidic body pH causes release of calcium from bones and its excretion with urine
Dairy products should not be recommended to people with osteoporosis
Dairy products do not cause bone decalfication
HOWEVER
The consumption of dairy products should be limited
Calcium can be obtained from vegetable sources including cabbages and broccoli, nuts, legumes
The Mediterranean diet
