Nutrition Routine
By Strato
Present and PastApproximately 99% of Hellas-Greece's population is Orthodox Christian. Our religion demands that we not eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter or oil on Wednesday and Friday. We're also not supposed to drink milk, wine, or Ouzo, which is a Greek alcoholic traditional drink. We can eat legumes, tomatoes, green salads, green onions, green garlic and olives. For 40 days before Easter and 40 days before Christmas, our religion asks that we fast in order to cleanse our bodies and spirits. This is called 'Megali Tessarakosti', which means, 'Great 40 Days' in English. For generations, Greek people followed this tradition. Personally, I can't remember having seen any obese elders. I do remember fit, happy people, smiling most of the time. They may have had less when it came to food, but they had enough. Year by year, development increased and over-production gave us progress and a modern life style. Slowly but surely, I've noticed that Hellenes-Greek people have begun to shun the old ways and eat anything they please, whenever they please. I believe television is a big part of the problem. The first TV-commercial in Greece, was about "MISKO-Macaroni", and fast-food invaded our lives. I also think that the Food and Medicine industry decided that we are more profitable to them as ill and overweight; the more overweight we are the more dependent we become on medicine as well as food, which ultimately adds to the coffers of both industries. As a result, by 2008, Greek children were the most overweight in Europe. In fact, Hellenes-Greek people use more antibiotics than any other country in Europe! I also think that we use more energy and more water that we really need. Unlike our grandparents and parents, we abuse our environment, forgetting what they taught us, which was to use only what we need. As a consequence, we are destroying the environment. This phenomenon is global, making it a global crisis that can't continue. We not only face a financial crisis, but a health crisis as well. We have to get back to the basics and start treating our bodies and our environment better. Keep reading: Top
Nutritional Supplements

Do We Need Them?According to the World Food Organization, as nutritional supplements we consider the additional substances we take to ensure the smooth functioning of our body, when it disturbed or when we want to prevent any possible disturbance. It should be noted that almost all the nutritional supplements contain substances that are alone or are intermediate products of biochemical processes in the human body, unlike what happens with the vast majority of drugs. This is why nutritional supplements are considered much safer than drugs. Proof is, that the World Health Organization has established stringent, costly and lengthy procedures to give authorization to a drug, while the supplements are classified as food, for which the procedures are much simpler. Many diseases are caused by a deficiency of vitamin, trace elements or antioxidants. For example, zinc deficiency caused approximately 30 mental and physical illnesses such as mental disturbance, photophobia, nerve anorexia or excessive appetite, abnormalities in taste and smell, various skin diseases, ulcers, delayed development, sexual immaturity, weakening of the immune system and others. While the adequacy of another trace element, selenium, among others, strengthens the immune system, protect us from infections, caligo lentis (cascade), premature aging and more. Last confirmed that it is also very effective in prevention of cancer. Deficiencies of vitamins or trace elements can be caused by various causes, and even medicines. For example, tetracycline, a known antibiotic, prevents the absorption of calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and iron and blocks the concentration of vitamin B. Contraceptives reduce the water soluble vitamins, magnesium and zinc. Antacids prevent especially the calcium absorption and the abuse of alcohol reduces the absorption of several dietaries. Also, it is undisputed that most elderly people, even those not suffering from any disease, need nutritional supplements because of their inability to assimilate the nutrients in foods. The World Health Organization assures us that the diet of thousands of people, even in economically thriving communities, has a lack of vitamins and minerals. Indicative of this finding is that 75% of the U.S. citizens, either occasionally or on a permanent basis, take nutritional supplements.
