7 rules for food of Michael Pollana.

Many suffer from such a disorder - fixated on a healthy diet. This diagnosis has the author of lectures on food, Michael Pollan.

Michael Pollan says that everything he learned about food and health can be collected in a few words: "Eat food, not very much, for the most part - vegetarian."

The first two words - the most important. "Eat food" means there is real food - vegetables, fruits, tselnozernovye and, of course, meat and fish. Home - Avoid, says Michael Pollan, "edible substances that are similar to food."

Michael joined the major boards in 7 points:

1. Do not eat anything your grandmother does not recognize the food. When you take a jar of yogurt, try reading it out of the 15 ingredients that you hardly use the. And then ask yourself: "What does this all makes this yogurt?" - Says Pollan.

2. Do not eat anything that consists of more than 5 ingredients or ingredients that you hardly use the.

3. When the next time will be in the store, pay attention to the fact that fresh produce, as a rule, stand on the perimeter (on the borders of the store) as well as so easy to replace them when they finish the term of validity.

4. Do not eat products that are not spoiled. "True, there are exceptions to this rule - for example, honey," - said Michael Pollan.

5. It is important not only what you eat but how you eat. "Do not leave the table with a slight feeling of hunger," - said Michael Pollan. - "Many people have a rule that you need to terminate a meal before they will sytymi. In Japan, they say that they eat until sytymi not be a four-fifths. Islamic culture is of such a principle. "

6. Families traditionally eat together at the table, without TV, at a certain time. This is a good tradition - to enjoy a meal with people whom you love.

7. Do not buy food, where you can refuel. In the United States, for example, 20% food eats in the car.

Is this good advice? Janet Collins, PhD, director of the National Center for Chronic disease prevention and health promotion (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) met with Michael Pollanom.

Collins agreed with the advice Pollana.

"The Pollana that is at the table with his family without the TV - excellent! And something. In the days of our grandmothers' dishes were small, which a lot of food was not put. "
