Dietitian and nutritionist Tatyana Meshcheryakova said that many people, while eating a large amount of food and calories, at the same time are undernourished, not getting important micronutrients. Life reports.
The expert pointed out that this phenomenon is due to the fact that modern people eat a lot of processed and prepared foods, often they make up the majority of the daily diet. As a result, eating a lot of such food, people overeat in terms of calories and at the same time undereat, not getting nutrients from it in the form of minerals, vitamins, amino acids. The main source of such substances are natural, unprocessed foods – vegetables, fruits, herbs, cereals, meat.
Meshcheryakova noted that one of the signs of such overeating with “empty” calories is excess weight. The specialist stressed that the cells of the human body need a constant supply of trace elements, vitamins, useful fatty acids. Their deficiency is fraught with the development of disorders of fat metabolism and the emergence of such dangerous conditions as insulin resistance, high blood sugar, diabetes, and excessive fat deposition.
According to her, when a person eats a lot, but the cells of his body are still malnourished, because they do not receive the components they need, there may be a noticeable decrease in physical activity, a decline in energy tone, and mental retardation.
