Russians were told about the dangers of low-fat foods

Nutritionist Svetlana Zelentsova warns that low-fat foods are not healthy.

Most low-fat foods contain flavor enhancers that are harmful to health, she said. Among them are starch, hydrogenated vegetable fats, flavors, dyes and other compounds, the specialist said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“The more a product is ‘processed’, that is, processed industrially, the less useful and often more nutritious it is compared to the whole product,” Zelentsova said.

At the same time, she noted, fats are necessary for the human body. If there is a deficiency in the diet and a predominance of carbohydrates, over time this will cause many metabolic problems. In addition, when reducing fats, the body receives less fat-soluble vitamins D, A, E. The medic added that fats are also needed for the absorption of calcium. A deficiency in this mineral is also fraught with health problems.

Let us also recall that earlier dietitian Irina Ryl said that beef is necessary for people with low hemoglobin and will be useful for diabetes.

According to her, “beef, and especially veal, is the leader in iron content.” “Therefore, it is necessary for people with low hemoglobin and ferritin (anemia). Beef contains high-quality proteins and amino acids, which are necessary for the production of collagen, which is necessary for our skin, joints, blood vessels, and hair, ”the specialist emphasized.
