Most known forms of alternative power are the following:

vegetarian food and raw food
nutrition and raw food
system Birhera-Benner
macrobiotic diet (Macrobiotic)
biopischa
separate power supply

These forms of alternative power in the narrow sense are not dieting. More and more people go to these kinds of consumption of food and drink. The growing concern for health, deteriorating environmental conditions and growing industrialization of food production – that nekotrye of the reasons for resorting to this is far from being new, and long-used form of nutrition. Not only environmental activists and Green Party to accept them, but more and more young families choose for themselves.

In addition, there are many systems that are created over the millennia by philosophers and physicians for a healthy diet. Extremely interesting to see how in some exercises, “a philosophical principle” takes over “medical.” Due to the fact that many systems do not undisputed medical experience, they become very vulnerable. Some forms of alternative power, we briefly look at them without resorting to practical analysis.

Vegetarian food and raw food

The idea of ​​eating only plants and plant products has traditionally ethnic or religious motivation. It is based on the belief that man has no right to kill an animal because it moves the soul in animals. This idea is inherent in many religions and come from orthodox Hinduism. Today, for most vegetarians this moral and religious aspect is no longer lies at the basis of their diet. Rather, this conceals a love for animals and the idea that a vegetarian diet is healthier.

There are three forms of vegetarian dishes:

Vegan: eating only vegetative food
Lacto-vegetarians: use only plant and dairy foods
Ovo-lacto – vegetarian: vegetarian, dairy foods and eggs

Vegetarian cuisine – a philosophy of life, which often can be detected and features of sectarianism. Vegetarians are prepared with love, joy, and an open heart. Therefore, their dishes are endowed with such vitality.

Vegetarians often prefer raw food. But if they make it, a favorite form of cooking is a saucepan in which food is roasted with repeated shaking. Recognized by vegetarians and wok.

In vegetarian cuisine using all vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, nuts, seeds and grains, pasta and rice. If you laktovegetarianets, then on your desk there is a place for cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt and kefir. As the fats used vegetable oil. Dishes can be refilled rice or cornmeal.

Soybean

A special role in a vegetarian diet, as well as more and more common in the kitchen, play soybeans. It refers to the bean crops, and is similar to an ordinary bush beans. Soybeans contain about 40% protein and about 20% fat. Of soy beans is soybean oil, which serves much of the world’s population source of fat in the form of vegetable oil, and as a basis for the production of margarine. Of waste from the production of oil are soybean meal and soybean meal and soybean meal also.

Soy can cook a variety of products:

soy meat from soy flour
soy milk and squeezed out of boiled soybeans
bean curd (tofu), soy milk and acidulants
soy cream from soymilk
soy mayonnaise soy milk
soy sauce, roasted soybeans, grains and spices
soy sauce from soy flour

Of these products, which can be purchased in many stores, prepares a variety of vegetarian dishes.

In principle, we can not say anything against the vegetarian dishes. It is true that vegetarians difficult to consume vital nutrients in the right combination.

Nutrition

All that man uses in food, you might consider using a system of nutrition. All products have their own value, which is determined not only ingredients but the origin, production, stockpiling, production and way of cooking.

Good nutrition is when the body gets in full all the nutrients it needs for metabolism. There is no need to watch this every day. Enough to adhere to this higher principle in a certain period of time.

Good nutrition requires that the following principles:

All food should be as natural
one-third of fresh prduktov and two-thirds cooked food
five small meals
should prevail cereals, vegetables, fruit, potatoes, beans, milk and dairy products, nuts
once a week – fish at least once a week to do without meat
only fresh food or slightly pritushennye, fresh food should always be the first dish
for salads using only vegetable oil
as a seasoning used only spices and herbs
consume 2 liters of fluid per day

Against these principles of nutrition nothing to say. Anyone who follows these rules, eats sensibly and is unlikely to be harmful to your health.

System Birhera-Benner

Dietary recommendations of the founder of this doctrine, a Swiss physician, is a cross between a vegetarian cuisine, raw food and nutrition system.

So, to be zatrak is exclusively raw food, the best granola “Birher”, named for their inventor, which consist of oatmeal, honey, nuts and fruits. After breakfast you can drink a glass of milk. Lunch – salads, steamed vegetables and fresh fruit.

Twice a week, allowed to eat meat every day – a glass of lemon juice. Dinner and breakfast is similar, only instead of milk you can drink a cup of tea with rosehip.

Macrobiotic diet (Macrobiotic)

This is a relatively old teaching on how to comprehend the art of living long. Prevention of harmful environmental effects – one of the basic rules of macrobiotic food, which is based on the following principles:

content of dietary fibers at each meal should be at least 50%
percentage of raw fruits and vegetables during one meal – 30%
do not eat meat, milk and dairy products
do not eat sugar
use only sea salt
prohibited reheat vegetables, beans, porridge, and fish

Bio or eco-food

Bio food now in vogue: a short period of its existence it has affected the general population worldwide. Shelves of Russian stores, too, are gradually filled bioproducts.

Bio-or eco-food, involves the development of ecological agriculture: failure of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and feed additives, and, where possible, purchased from animal feed. With organic farming the nutrients taken from the soil, thanks to well-thought-crop rotation, composting and replenished with manure nitrogen-fixing plants.

Organic farming refuses mechanized weeding and relies on removing them manually. Pest control are biological rather than chemical means. The fact that this form of price relation can not compete with the traditional industrial agriculture, it is obvious to everyone. Nevertheless, an increasing number of families around the world willing to accept higher prices for organic and ecological products, because they realize that this choice is a guarantee for their own health and that of their children.

Bio or eco-food, focuses not on the other part of consumables, such as vegetarianism or a system of adequate nutrition, while the other method of food production.

Separate power

This doctrine is based American H. Shelton, comes from the fact that certain foods can not eat with others, ie describes what products can be combined with each other, and what does not. The system of separate food deserves more coverage than we can give here. My only comment is that the vast majority of nutritionists, noting the people who have moved to a separate power improvement of health and weight loss, and still feel separate power supply is not enough physiological and wean from the consumption of “normal” mixed meal.

Russian School of Dietetics

Selection of the power system does not purport to light, and shows their diversity. Some of them are more or less clear, but others are so strange that one can hardly trust them. System are chosen randomly, indicating their authors, the sequence of selections, too, is arbitrary and does not indicate any preference.

Weight Diet

Professor NM ace, founder of the supply system, completely abandoned the tables calorie foods. Instead, he recommends the use of weights. Do not eat all the fried foods and consume salt. Meat is rarely permitted. In addition, according to the rules of this diet, people should not eat for future use. Irregular power supply is considered healthy.

Gastrointestinal Diet

This diet of Professor BV Bolotov describe four principles:

Digestion must occur through the consumption of pulp (fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts)
Slags derived by introduction of acid
Salt is excreted through spices and herbs
Bacteria destroyed by lactic acid and berries

Diet changes

Natural Healer VF Vostokov promotes diversity in the diet. Many medicines, timber and garden plants to its diverse diet keep health – such is his conviction.

Pyramid Diet

This diet is based JP Guscho known author of several scholarly books, is a cross between a full and vegetarian meals. To convince JP Guscho, there are so-called basic food, which should consist of cereals, legumes, nuts and seeds. Of each subsequent stage of the pyramid person should take less. Here are some steps to the pyramid:

Cereals, legumes, nuts, seeds
Vegetables, herbs, roots
fruit
Meat
Fish
Milk and honey
Drinks

Diet natural cycle

Author diet Suvorin is a relic of the XIX century. He believes in the power of the sun and chlorophyll. The most important thing in nature, from his point of view – this plant. People and animals eat them. As the sun has a greater influence on plant growth than the development of animals, people must have, above all, a vegetarian diet.

Seasonal Diet

Seasonal diet G. Shatalov acquired sufficient fame, and speaks in its favor. The diet is based on a vegetarian diet, and demands that healthy people ate those products that are unique to a particular season. In the spring – grass, summer and autumn – vegetables and fruits, and winter – cereals and grain products.

Overseas School of Dietetics

It is necessary to touch briefly on some foreign diets. Perhaps their choice and not perfect, but it shows their diversity. Diets are shown in random order to avoid evaluation.

Starvation

The doctor and natural healer G. Benjamin is a staunch defender of a starvation diet. In his representations, fasting cleanses the body. Periods of fasting should last from 5 to 30 days. At that time only allowed drinking water, vegetables and orange juice.

Combined food

P. Bragg doctor and an expert on life extension, as he calls himself, is also an advocate of fasting. Starting any diet, man, in his opinion, must first go hungry, and then slowly start eating. But permitted only natural food. In addition, you can drink only distilled water, fresh air and sunlight contribute to the effectiveness of any diet.

Natural food has to be as diverse. Need to combine foods: vegetables, fruit, herbs, nuts, etc.

Phase Diet

H. and M. Diamond, the researchers of the human body, launched a revolutionary thesis: they are against any form of diet, but in favor of natural food. And what is interesting: for a healthy diet people should observe the three phases during the day. The first phase is devoted to eating. It can last from 12 to 20 h. The second phase lasts from 20 to 4 hours and due process of digestion. Next – from 4 to 12 hours to be phase separation.

Diet four enemies

M. Goren, a famous Israeli doctor, the attending forces of nature, of the opinion that people could live longer if followed by a balanced diet of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It is important that people ate a little and that his diet was rich in vitamins and minerals. The idea of such a diet in Goren began when he studied the diet of the people, inhabiting Central Asia, and which can be regarded as the ancestors of the Huns.

According to Goren, four enemies of health are:

constipation
Meat and fish if you do not eat them with vegetables
sugar
Drugs, alcohol and tobacco

Diet of Wanga

Bulgarian healer Vanga put forward to a healthy diet a few reasonable conditions:

Not too much has
Only white foods
Herbal tea and water
low fat
less meat
Only boiled vegetables
many vegetables
