For thousands of years, traditional Russian cuisine has been shaped by original geoclimatic, socio-economic, historical and political factors that influenced its character.
Modern nutritionists, studying specific dishes, agree that not all of them fall under the current standards of healthy food, writes Russian7.ru.
Having a high energy value, these foods were useful in the comfortless old times, and with the modern structure of life and a sedentary lifestyle, they only contribute to the development of many diseases. In a large number of people, difficult to digest and salty dishes present in Russian cuisine also contribute to the disruption of the normal functioning of the body.
Pancakes
According to nutritionist Kamila Gapparova, everyone's favorite pancakes, which she considers to be a delicacy, and not healthy culinary products, can serve as a disservice to human health.
Even the finest pancakes that shine through to the light are a storehouse of easily digestible carbohydrates, an excess of which can lead to problems with excess weight and impairment of the functioning of organs such as the pancreas, intestines, adrenal glands, and stomach.
The habit of eating pancakes with various fillings increases their calorie content, which means that it increases the load on the body. Gastroenterologist Tatyana Ivashkina recommends minimizing the use of pancakes with honey, meat, lard, sour cream or caviar. She advises replacing them with healthier ingredients like cottage cheese or cabbage.
But in any case, the specialist calls on to feast on only cooled or cold pancakes, since the newly baked symbol of the sun is very difficult for the body to assimilate.
Kamila Gapparova advises not to abuse this traditional dish of Russian cuisine and limit yourself to 2-3 pieces maximum twice a week.
mushrooms
Nutritionist Natalie Makienko, noting the undoubted beneficial properties of fungi to supply the body with vegetable protein, explains to patients the harmful aspects of the dishes from this product.
Like nutritionist Ksenia Selezneva, she prohibits excessive consumption of favorite canned and pickled mushrooms by everyone, since with this method of treatment they contain toxins that can cause poisoning.
Salted mushrooms are contraindicated for people with diseases of the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract, as well as the excessive use of this product in other culinary variations. The chitin contained in these forest gifts does not allow the body to receive all the nutrients concentrated in them, 90% of which are excreted from the body undigested.
Dietitian-gastroenterologist Svetlana Berezhnaya categorically prohibits feeding children under 6 years of age with mushrooms, as they can cause a malfunction in the developing child's body.
Sauerkraut
Another dish of Russian cuisine that is controversial in terms of its benefits is sauerkraut. Doctor Aleksey Kovalkov warns that people suffering from kidney failure, diseases of the thyroid and pancreas, hypertension, as well as those who have an increased acidity of the stomach and have gallstones, this dish will undoubtedly harm.
And those lucky ones who have everything in order with their health should take into account that bloating is often observed from sauerkraut.
Kashi
The honorary frequenter of the Russian table was the traditional porridge, which from time immemorial was treated with special respect and reverence. The dishes used in various ceremonies from different cereals were distinguished by their nutritional value, ease of preparation and affordability.
However, along with useful properties, they have a number of negative qualities. According to gastroenterologist-nutritionist Irina Berezhnaya, millet porridge cooked from millet grains is rich in a protein called gliadin, to which some people may have individual intolerance. As a result, a person runs the risk of earning a disease such as celiac disease, that is, a violation of the mucous membrane of the small intestine with its subsequent atrophy.
Nutritionist Mariyat Mukhina does not advise overfeeding children with semolina, which contains organic salt interfering with normal calcium absorption, which can lead to weakening of bones and heart failure.
Cooked in milk with the addition of sugar and butter, semolina porridge has a high glycemic index, which has a beneficial effect on the development of diabetes.
Children's doctor, nutritionist Elena Pavlovskaya, does not recommend including semolina in the diet of babies every morning, which, despite its nutritional properties, can provoke the development of rickets.
Herring
Having studied the basics of proper nutrition, American long-liver Paul Bragg considered the main killers of the human body to be salty foods, which, of course, include Russian dishes based on herring.
Contraindicated to excessive use of hypertensive patients, people suffering from various edema, diseases of the kidneys and cardiovascular system, herring can act as an independent meal, or hide under vegetables as part of a complex salad.
The famous "herring under a fur coat", well flavored with salt, light potato carbohydrates and high-calorie mayonnaise, no doubt claims to be one of the most harmful creations of Russian cuisine.
Offal
Nutritionist Marina Popova urges not to overdo it with meat by-products, since, along with undeniable useful properties, they pose a great danger.
The liver and kidneys participating in the process of detoxification of the animal's body contain a lot of toxic substances, including mercury, cadmium and lead, which do not disappear from these by-products even after heat treatment, but enter the human body.
Another scourge of domestic animals is a high content of cholesterol, provoking the development of cardiovascular diseases, including the formation of plaques and blood clots.
