What is known about the Russian diet? It is called the key to longevity
You can often hear that you need to eat foods that grow in the area where you live.
That is, no matter how good the Mediterranean diet is, it does not cancel out other existing programs.
Approximately this point of view was expressed by doctors Sergei Agapkin and Svetlana Trofimova in the program “About the Most Important Thing”.
Experts call the "Russian diet" the key to longevity and suggest including healthy foods in the diet that are more familiar to the population of the former USSR.
In other words, no matter how healthy avocado is, you can’t forget about cabbage and turnips.
Russian diet and ethnic component
Doctors have called the ethnic component an important element for maintaining health and longevity.
The Russian diet includes turnips, apple pastilles, sauerkraut, and curdled milk.
Only turnips contain substances that improve vascular health and prevent the development of atherosclerosis.
It also contains sulforaphane, a substance with anti-cancer properties.
Pastila contains pectin, which slows down the absorption of sugars.
Sauerkraut – collagen, which is responsible for the health of skin, nails and hair.
Sour milk is rich in calcium and phosphorus, which strengthen bones.
Of course, the above list of ingredients of Russian cuisine is not exhaustive and contains a lot of vegetables and fruits that are healthy.
