The classification of the group helps us to choose
To help you select products and become familiar with their values, they should be divided into groups, bringing together in one group products most similar to each other due to the component that is most characteristic. For example, the most characteristic component of butter or oil is fat, honey - sugar, flour and meal - starch. Academic researchers working on nutrition issues proposed division of food products on a different number of groups: 6, 7, 9 or 12 the division into 12 groups, better reflects the characteristic components of products, but is quite complicated. Simpler and easier to remember the division, which we use here.
He introduces himself as follows:
I. Milk and cheese.
II. The meat of slaughter animals, poultry and fish and eggs.
III. Vegetables and fruits, which pitched the 3 following groups:
1st colored green or golden-yellow, or green leafy vegetables and the like
carrots, pumpkin, peppers, lettuce,
2nd brassicas, peppers lettuce, tomatoes and summer berries, mostly forest,
3rd all other fruits and vegetables.
IV. Fats (butter, cream, margarine, oil, lard, etc.).
V. Products of flour, cereal products primarily high milling (wholemeal bread and mesh and a little ground grits) and products of flour milling low as - white wheat flour, semolina, or cream of wheat, polished rice, and sugar, honey and all sweets . With such a division gained 7 groups (fruits and vegetables, breaking into 3 groups). In these groups do not fit the products legumes and potatoes.
Because pa high starch content could be included in the last group, ie flour products, although in some respects from the very
they differ.
Vegetables and fruits are pitched into 3 subgroups due to the very different value of the vitamin. As we see, though with reservations, all products were included in these groups. The reader may be many a surprise that there is no such group, which could include vodka, wine and beer, or spirits, and tea, coffee, cocoa, and various spices, as pepper, paprika, cloves. But this is not an oversight. Alcoholic drinks do not contain the ingredients necessary for life, do not bring any benefit, but on the contrary - the injury, poisoning the body.
Are less harmful drinks like tea and coffee, but they do not bring profit. Consumed in small quantities slightly excite us. Also, spices are used to add flavor and aroma to dishes, not to increase their nutritional value. An exception is the national green spices, such as chives, fresh dill and marjoram, parsley leaves, which provide vitamins (they belong to a group III). All of these products, which are not proper for us to feed and are not classified in any of the five groups, are known as stimulants. These include alcoholic beverages and soft drinks and spices colonial.
But let us return to discuss the five essential food groups. Since each group of the other ingredients presents in the largest quantities and is the most important, each has a different meaning for us and fulfills a different role. Can you imagine, for example, that hulled replace milk or bacon - tomato. In our diet is necessary to milk, but next to him and hulled barley, bacon and tomatoes.
- Skilful nutrition lies in the fact that equally is products belonging to different groups. You must know exactly what value that each product group and how some of them - those that are sometimes unavailable to us - can be replaced by others, which was our disposal. This should "be done so that our health suffered and food does not have the appropriate value. We will turn the properties of all product groups.
