In cooperation with Alisa Baltsevich, head of AGreen Altai Agroecological Company, we tell you what other dishes are often exaggerated in terms of their usefulness.

Vegetable salad

Vegetable salad with tomatoes and cucumbers, so familiar to many Russians, can cause digestive disorders. All because cucumber and tomato are antagonists. Chemically speaking, cucumber is an alkaline product, while tomato is acidic.

It requires different enzymes to digest such a salad. Because of this, there is an additional load on the digestive system, which can lead to increased gas and feelings of discomfort. It is recommended to consume cucumbers and tomatoes at different meals.

Vinaigrette

Favorite by many people salad also can not be called a healthy food. It consists of starchy vegetables that increase blood glucose levels. Such a dinner option is unsafe for those with diabetes.

Shashlik

During the cooking of kebab, there is a smoking process, during which carcinogenic substances – benzapyrenes – are formed. They increase the risk of cancer.

Especially in large quantities, carcinogens accumulate in parts of meat that are roasted to crust.

Cholodets

Kholodets is a traditional dish in Russia and a crowning appetizer on the New Year’s table. However, those with pancreatic and stomach diseases should refrain from eating it. Cold meat contains a large number of extractive substances, which negatively affects the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.

Manna porridge

Semolina is a processed wheat grain, from which all the useful substances contained in the shell have been removed. It increases the amount of sugar in the blood, does not contain micronutrients and vitamins, and with frequent consumption contributes to weight gain.

Also, the groats contain a large amount of gluten. Therefore, semolina should be avoided by people with intolerance to this protein.
