German doctor Franziska Rubin has chosen ten products that can replace drugs and help strengthen the immune system, reports Focus magazine.
According to Rubin, "for most diseases, everyone already has something in the refrigerator." She noted that if you eat right, you can avoid many diseases and do not have to spend money on expensive medicines. At the same time, the doctor warns that in some cases, when, for example, chemotherapy or surgery is necessary, there are no alternative methods of treatment.
Rubin listed ten of the healthiest foods: oats, honey, ginger, potatoes, cabbage, turmeric, various oils, salt, lemon, and onion (garlic). At the same time, you can not only eat them, but also make therapeutic compresses, body wraps and masks with them. So, when applied externally, a decoction of oats helps with neurodermatitis, vitamin C, which is in lemon, also affects the skin well. Oatmeal tea will help you calm down, and a drink with ginger will stabilize blood sugar levels when consumed daily. Honey, in addition to sore throats, has anti-inflammatory effects, as does turmeric: Manuka honey, for example, helps to heal wounds quickly, Rubin said. Potato juice helps with heartburn, and cabbage is good for vision, she noted. For arthritis, the doctor advises taking a teaspoon a day of flaxseed oil,
In October, Spanish nutritionists named unhealthy foods that it is desirable to completely eliminate from the diet. These include alcohol , whose benefits in small quantities, as doctors noted, are often unconfirmed rumors, as well as refined flour and sweetened foods. Caution should also be taken with sausages, as well as pastries, which are "killer No. 1," added Russian nutritionist Olga Perevalova.
