Habit - a certain well-developed, proven mechanism of action, which, once hitting us in the head, begins to influence our actions in the future. Some habits we nurture ourselves, long and painstakingly, others are instilled in us by parents, yet others arise by themselves, seemingly without somebody's conscious influence, as a simple response to the events that are taking place. We so get along with these models of behavior that we literally can not imagine another life.
It's great if we were lucky enough to become owners of positive, comfortable and useful habits, like "look around when you cross the street".But unfortunately most of our automatic reactions are outdated. Yes, at 15 years it was justified to eat a pack of pelmeni at a time, the body grew, we were mobile, and even something extra went away without our intervention. With age, however, such food can kill us. And after all, we adopted not only this, but the whole style of cooking your family.
Homemade recipes are passed from mother to daughter as a kind of secret secret, and we perceive them just like that, well-established and unbreakable, without thinking about how useful it is to us such food, what harm it can do to us and our loved ones. We continue to eat a lot of fatty, sweet, floury, we mix products that are not liable to one-time use, and complain about stomach problems, fatigue and overweight. But we do not want to revise our approach to food.
We are used to, and through it it is difficult to cross, for the simple reason that we do not know how to properly cope with the habit. She became a part of us, she became comfortable with us.
We change the usual homemade recipes
The solution, however, is so simple that we often reject it because of its simplicity and bruising. And you just after a sober look at your diet and harmful foods to replace the beginning of something less dangerous, less caloric, and eventually exclude from food. Here are a few examples.
- An excellent substitute for sugar is fructose.
- To tea it is better to take a couple of spoons of honey with nuts, marmalade or marshmallow, than a piece of cake or a bun with jam.
- We now consume food salt in a completely superfluous quantity, and as a result we have many different diseases. Start with the fact that a little nedosalivayte habitual dishes. Try also to replace common salt with sea salt. And instead of canned food and pickles, try to eat fresh, natural products.
- Do not bake pancakes on "empty" white flour, but on rye, buckwheat or corn.
Without excluding from your life familiar and favorite dishes, you will keep to yourself a good mood and positive memories that are associated with them. By modifying them, making them less caloric and harmful, you will take care not only of your figure, but also of your health, as well as those that are dear to you.
