Biologist and geneticist Ancha Baranova and nutritionist Maria Kardakova have jointly written a book that helps to look at healthy eating from a different angle. The book breaks down many stereotypes about the harmfulness and benefits of a variety of products, shows the risks of the most common diets, provides food for thought and an incentive for a meaningful approach to nutrition.

Dietary recommendations are constantly changing. Only yesterday it was impossible to eat after six, but today you can. Someone screams about the dangers of fatty foods, while someone does not see the danger in it. Perhaps today we know only one thing for sure: your diet should take into account your characteristics - genes, age, living in a certain area, nature of work, existing diseases, availability of products, their interchangeability and compatibility.

There are no specific recipes , but the general principles of nutrition are highlighted.

Besides, this is just an exciting read about our amazing body.

From the Authors

What could be easier than eating vegetables and fruits?

It's a reliable, proven method of preventing a range of diseases - diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer and others - and a sure way to get closer to a healthy weight in case of excess of it. However, only about 10% of adolescents aged 11-18 and no more than 30% of adults who monitor their health cope with the task of eating five servings of vegetables and fruits per day (400 g).

Standard nutrition recommendations seem boring to people and difficult to apply in real life. Doctors urge to eat more vegetables and fruits, but in stores - everywhere you look - promotions are not on seasonal greens, nuts and tomatoes, but on kilogram bags of sweets

In theory, not only scientists should share the responsibility for creating such recommendations and doctors, but also the state, as well as private companies that supply food to people: shops, supermarkets, manufacturers. In reality, it falls solely on the consumer. In his free time, he should read smart blogs or books about food - like the one you are holding in your hands right now - and then resist the temptation to buy three packs of chocolates for the price of two and, of course, put more vegetables and fruits in the cart , as well as expensive fish| take a breath at the checkout, come home - preferably on foot, so to speak, for fitness, then cook all this according to a complex healthy lifestyle recipe.

But be that as it may, you yourself will take care of your healthy diet best of all.< /p>
