Habit 3: Give up store-bought baked goods

Mark Bittman, Kerry Conan. “Whole-grain breads and baked goods. Theory, Practice, Recipes.”

Store-bought white bread is a boon, but mostly for the manufacturers and retailers, not the customers. The body perceives it as sugar rather than ground wheat. It is low in vitamins and nutrients. That’s why the authors of this book, who have been making homemade bread for over 50 years, suggest making your first loaf with homemade sourdough.

“Why […] do we urge you to take a closer look at whole-grain bread? My answer is that it’s simply better. If you combine a modern version of traditional baking techniques with traditional (whole wheat) flour, you can get the best bread you’ve ever tasted.”

Habit 4: Give healthy foods a second chance

Olga Ivenskaya. “Avocados are the head of everything. Everything you wanted to know and 40 recipes you’ll want to make.”

From beef burgers and avocado fries with citrus dip to cold crab soufflés and avocado and banana muffins, there are plenty of unusual options. These recipes are collected in cookbook author Olga Ivenska’s bestselling avocado cookbook, which is being reissued in an atmospheric new edition.

“Try baking it for breakfast, put together your own on-trend poke or superbowl, treat your guests to guacamole and corn chips, bake an easy version of luxurious chocolate brownies-you’re sure to love these simple and ‘honest’ recipes with avocado.”

Habit 5: Add a pinch of spice

Yael Adler. “Fit to…Unpacking the youthful secrets that will numb your body to aging”

When you get caught up in counting calories or balancing proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, it’s easy to forget important nuances-like the benefits of spices. In his anti-ageing book, nutritionist Yael Adler, M.D., reminds us that spices are excellent antioxidants, which means they fight aging. They also cross the blood-brain barrier and improve brain function.

“They are a real (and legal!) brain doping agent and should definitely be a regular part of your diet, especially since spices magically give food amazing flavor and serve as a great substitute for salt.”

Habit 6: Reduce carbohydrates

Olga Ivenskaya. “Keto Cooking. The way to health without pills.”

There are too many carbohydrates in the diet of a modern person, and it is necessary to get rid of them – many nutritionists keep saying this. But what to do if you can not imagine your diet without porridge, potatoes, bread and sweets? You can try recipes from the keto-menu, which are given in this book cook Olga Ivenskaya. Prepare low-carb versions of caesar salad, spinach and cheese muffins or chocolate mousse – it will make your diet healthier and more varied.

Habit 7: Monitor your appetite and hunger

Star doctor Sergei Bubnovsky is engaged in the treatment of the spine and joints, but is constantly faced with the problems of overweight patients. They interfere with the full treatment of osteochondrosis. Therefore, in his book he gives advice on nutrition, and here is the main one.
