Burning Pain When Eating Bread

packaged snacks, nutritious food or health risk?


may be useful to review some of the most common foods that are eaten in our times, especially those most publicized of which probably are the most purchased and consumed. A premise is to make honest approach to food without any negative prejudice, one thing is certainly true fact that no food is harmful in itself, but may become so if the drinker is under particular physiological or if it makes a widespread abuse.
said that one wonders why the snacks do not have a good reputation and are often accused of being the primary cause of childhood obesity. Without going into detail of the nutritional characteristics of each snack, making a small test to supermarkets, reading good nutritional data imposed by law on the packaging, with papers in hand, the data that is immediately evident is a high amount of kilocalories per gram, a value ranging from 3 to 4.5 which means a candy bar that weighs about 45 grams may contain from 120 to 200 K.cal an amount of energy equal to that provided by a plate of pasta with garlic and olive oil 70 gr. We understand now that a snack per day is already providing substantial energy input but it is not uncommon to hear of the boys who consume at least 2 or more occasions during the day.
If we lived in a country where malnutrition is a risk for adolescents, this food would be a panacea, and in a small space in a very convenient and fast it can provide a large amount of energy, but as we know in our countries the problem is just the opposite: the food is most often high calorie and the increasingly sedentary life especially among the younger age groups does not generate a daily energy expenditure sufficient to dispose of as ingested.
On the other hand those who are aware of this and wants to follow a reduced calorie regime is facing an ever greater effort which is difficult to impose on a child. In this regard a useful tip for managing a healthy diet is to eat meals at set times, in this will educate the body to feel hungry only at those times of day when we are willing to fill it with some snacks. Very often the snacks being always available in our pantries are quickly consumed and discarded without regard to time or what it is eaten in main meals, making a gesture almost mechanical.
A fresh fruit, a cup of yogurt, milk and biscuits, two slices of bread with a small amount of meat and cheese are all foods that require minimal preparation time, which leads to a greater awareness of what you are doing, giving the act of eating the right amount. Foods that certainly do not give a caloric higher than that of the packaged snacks, but which produce a feeling of satiety without doubt the most effective.
A final point should be addressed to the misinformation on the web. I refer in particular to the website dedicated to "Italian snacks" curated by the Italian confectionery industry with the approval of medical experts who act as the snack food, needless to say, "with full formula" describing it as almost the best food for adolescents. The data stoned in interviews that can be seen are certainly true, but almost always full of omissions, is the old trick of putting light on the side of the coin that suits them. One such example: it is said that the snacks contain a "fair amount of vitamins A, B1, B2, calcium and iron," but does not say that these "moderate amounts" are actually a fraction of those provided, for the same calories for example, from a fresh fruit.
short, the general good sense, which tends to discourage the snacks to the young people can be shared and verified by simple empirical observation made by anyone willing to learn and discover what lies behind the product of a cheek advertising campaign.

Food security and nutritional properties of products by road


Advancement of invasive new technology employs an increasingly significant in the field of food that end up on our tables, for example, referring to the GM can say that these are now so that it is even served a strict regulation at national and Europe to limit its use by the multinationals. The next step is going to be made is that the new generation of food, also called "functional foods", foods artificially fortified with beneficial nutrients for the body, the simplest example is the milk with Omega 3, fat content in quantities in oily fish but totally in cow's milk.
Yet in the local, out of the big shopping centers, away from the multinational fast food, still thrive in highly valued specialties, our food traditions that inspire a sense of authenticity that no packaged food can give us.
The arancine, with cake or bread with potato croquettes, bread with spleen or "stigghiola, often fried in the stalls where hygiene difficult to instill a sense of serenity in those who are tempted to eat them .
The concept of food security is based on the simple principle that a food is not harmful to health and the first risk you take with food street is that of bacterial contamination. It should be noted that a street vendor is not subject to strict self-control required (HACCP) to be met by all the grocery stores or work in the restaurant business, having said that we must also say that food cooked on the spot that risk is reduced to values \u200b\u200bmore than acceptable, all pathogenic bacteria do not survive at temperatures above 100 ° C, much less than 180 ° C that can be achieved with fries in vegetable oil. Clearly, our attention should focus on the food that is not subject to the "sterilization" assured by the baking, the bread if left outdoors for a long time and is not protected by any deposit of microorganisms in the air can easily be colonized by them is not of bacterial origin, such as molds and fungi.
A walking should have the good sense to store and handle products in the most hygienic way possible to avoid the risks mentioned above. Obviously the lower the amount of exposure to the food the less likely that this is contaminated, but what is the real risk? The body of a healthy person is very well defended by pathogenic bacteria ingested with food and the only ones able to take root in our intestines are the gut bacteria, a family of which there are many pathogens are enteric infections such as fever, such as typhoid and paratyphoid, but also intestinal infections, gastroenteritis and dysentery. If you want to avoid unpleasant surprises personal advice is to buy these foods from a peddler of confidence that you are unsure of the proper knowledge and application of the most elementary hygiene rules to follow when handling food, better still, buy from a store that fixed by law must be subjected to 'self-regulated by strict regulations, which if not avoid the risk of an intestinal infection, but that certainly reduces it drastically.
Turning to the nutritional qualities of these foods should be considered on a case by case basis, as varied as food actually provide a different nutrient supply.
arancine Starting from the much loved and imitated in other regions, we can say that the rice, the presence of ground meat in moderate amounts, small amounts of legumes and vegetables, represented by the peas and carrots and tomato sauce, the type Cooking provides a significant amount of vegetable fat, making it a highly nutritious and very caloric, certainly indicated to replace a whole meal but not for a quick snack out of the main meals. A kumquat of 100 to 150 gr. , 200 gr. choice of vegetables and fruit can be a good dinner, fairly fast and convenient for those unable to cook.
As common sense suggests it is good to vary the foods you eat, if only by turning our choices during the days of the week to avoid falling into the excesses that are always harmful.
Bread with panelle specialty Palermo typically contains carbohydrates of bread and vegetable proteins contained in the chickpea flour they are made of the fritter, frying, preferably in olive oil, impossible to find a Walking to the high cost, provides even here still fat for the body, paying attention to quantity and frequency with which it is consumed there is nothing harmful in a sandwich with the fritters, certainly less harmful animal protein contained in burgers, that is often surrounded by French fries and soft drinks high in sugar.
Things are different for the spleen, a specialty that has given notoriety to the historical places such as the Sicilian capital focacceria of St. Francis, the problem here is the ultimate fried in animal fat, lard, which is an input excessive heat as well as an excess of saturated fats, the most harmful because they tend to accumulate on the inner wall of the arteries. Strongly recommended for those suffering from high cholesterol, hypertension and family history like that, all other is the rule that no outside food from the excesses is harmful in itself. On the other hand, evolved as a species in our food does not have the sole function of food, but also the social make us feel united as part of the social group we belong to and the psychological reward us with pleasurable sensations.
