Doctor endocrinologist Tatyana Filippova warns that by consuming certain foods and drinks, we force our body to more actively lose the vitamins and other valuable substances it needs.
< br>In her interview, the doctor said that it is the diet that is the key supplier of vitamins and minerals needed to maintain vital processes in the body. When the problem of their deficiency arises, in most cases this means that a person’s nutrition is not balanced and does not replenish the level of nutrients properly.
“Many vitamins and microelements are necessary for the full functioning of the human body. If their number is not replenished, you need to adjust the diet: some products should be discarded, when using others, you need to know when to stop, ”said Filippova.
In a comment to 5-tv.ru, the doctor clarified that certain foods and drinks stimulate the body to more intensively lose the necessary vitamins.
Alcohol. According to Filippova, even in moderate doses, alcohol promotes more active excretion from the body of vitamins and minerals. In addition, drinking impairs the body's ability to absorb useful and important micronutrients from food.
Caffeine. People who consume a lot of caffeine also run the risk that their body will lose more of the necessary vitamins .
“Caffeine reduces the levels of calcium in the body, iron and other trace elements,” the expert warns.
Coffee should not be combined with meals or drunk immediately after meals – only after a while and in reasonable doses.
In addition, it is harmful to get involved in energy drinks, drinking them also leads to an increased loss of vitamins and minerals.
Sugar. The doctor recommends carefully controlling the amount of sugar consumed, since many prepared foods often contain hidden sugar , not being obvious sweets.
“Sugar with constant use disrupts the functioning of the intestines, its microflora and absorption processes, thereby contributing to the development of deficient conditions on the part of vitamins and microelements,” Filippova stated.
