Divide and eat, … or underwater reeves of separate food

And here such, rather simple, and seemingly safe method. And really works, though not always! But whether so this method of "separate food" is harmless?

Background
The idea of separate food is not new, but only thanks to activities for its promotion of the American nutritionist - the naturopath Herbert Shelton became sufficient popular around the world. Shelton in far 1895 was born, lived long life, however, good health could brag never, and the last 15 years of life was confined to the bed, struck by Parkinson's disease at all. Shelton got an education at different schools of alternative medicine and even earned "scientific" degree from the American School of Chiropractic. Knowledge in the field of gastroenterology, dietology, gigiyenistik Shelton gathered, studying works of doctors naturopaths of the 19th century, and in terms of modern medicine, they look quite fondly, and sometimes and in a root it is wrong. But, nevertheless, it undertook to treat people for a set of diseases, without having on it what allowing documents for what repeatedly was exposed to arrests, penalties.

Methods of treatment was generally two: starvation and separate food. He also was convinced syroyedy, the vegan, followed the theory of separate food and starvation, but here it did not bring mighty health to it. Process of decline of physical forces began in 1945 when after a trauma it began to lose teeth, it broke the adjusted system of its food. Drugs, I so understand, it did not accept on belief, and help itself(himself) itself by the methods could not. In 1972 made to Shelton the diagnosis – Parkinson's disease. He dictated the latest books about health and healthy nutrition in a whisper, vocal chords did not allow it to speak.

Shelton in 1985 who is completely paralyzed, ruined by the legal claim submitted on it by the wife of the died patient died. And here his books continue to live and push on experiments with own health of numerous followers: "Starvation can save to you life", "Perfect food", "As is correct to combine food", "To live to live long", and many others.

Yes, it is valid, Shelton lived long, but you should not forget that he carried out nearly a half of the long life, battling against the illnesses which are quite perhaps caused and his system of improvement, and the last 13 years at all paralyzed. Of course, as the allergy, asthma, diabetes, neurosises does not deny a role of medical starvation in treatment of such diseases now, and even in certain cases recommends, traditional medicine. Separate food as a method of the sparing use of digestive tract, will help at some of his diseases, but whether such methods of improvement here are necessary to healthy people, a big question!

This intimate process of digestion
The system of separate food of Shelton is based on the theory of separate digestion, that is, proteins are digested in acidic environment of a stomach, and carbohydrates in the alkaline environment of a small intestine. But this known fact does not mean at all that the potato which got into a stomach together with cutlet will lie dead freight there and "to rot", proteinaceous food will not be digested yet (as some followers of Shelton consider). First, digestion of carbohydrates begins in a mouth when food is chewed and moistened with saliva, in saliva there is an enzyme amylase which begins process of transformation of starches in simple sugar. The chewed and humidified food through a throat and a gullet gets into a stomach.

Concentration of hydrochloric acid in a stomach such is that about any rotting and the speech cannot be. Even on the contrary, acidic environment of a stomach supports rather sterile atmosphere in a stomach and a duodenum, in this environment survives unless one bacterium, a helikobakter, but that's another story. A part of sugars and alcohol are absorbed through stomach walls to the blood course, and residue of food gruel passes in the first section of intestines - a duodenum. Most likely, in digestive process the naturopath Shelton who gathered the knowledge at doctors of antiquity knew nothing about existence of a duodenum and its role. And exactly here, in the duodenum located between a stomach and a small intestine proteins (trypsin and other proteinases), fats (lipases) and carbohydrates are digested pancreas enzymes at the same time (amylases). That is no separate digestion, at least, in a duodenum, just exists!

Further processing of food gruel happens in a small intestine. On all length of a small intestine (and it is 5 meters!) there are mucous cages, special gland sekretirut the slime and alkaline liquid protecting mucous intestines from the acid arriving from a stomach. In a small intestine there is an absorption of products of digestion (monosaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids, etc.) through so-called microfibers on mucous, and their further distribution to destination.

Residues of food gruel pass into a large intestine. The large intestine plays an important role in assimilation of nutritious elements and evacuation of the digested food. In the normal state the thick gut is populated with symbiotic bacteria which continue processing of food weight and in process produce vitamins which are absorbed in blood. Blood, after cleaning and processing in a liver, carries nutritious elements in all cages of an organism which use them for energy and division. The died cages, along with biosynthesis waste, are brought out of an organism through kidneys and intestines.

Where "slags" are laid
Everyone understands the term "slags" which is often used in the popular literature devoted to issues of improvement in process of the understanding. Sometimes mean all toxic substances which are brought out of an organism by "slags" sometimes not digested food remains which allegedly, accumulating in a thick gut, can become the reason of a number of diseases mean. But is normal of any deposits cannot be, intestines function in such a way that completely cleans itself, the constant muscular activity of walls of intestines (vermicular movement) having difficult dynamics guarantees impossibility something to settle on walls. And even, if on some site or several sites this vermicular movement weakens so that something can not be evacuated in time, then it is possible to say rather about locks that the phenomenon harmful, but about any "kilogram stones" is undoubted in any way. In any case, not mixed food, and certain problems with a backbone, congenital features, insufficiency of food of muscle cells of intestines is a vermicular movement cause of infringement, plays a role and absence in the menu of cellulose in enough.

As well as why it works and where a dirty trick?
The phenomenon of weight loss and disposal of some illnesses at respect for the principle of separate food is explained, first of all, by strict selection of the menu. The keen supporter of separate food begins to control the diet, refuses cakes and cakes, limits consumption of preserved foods, gives preference to vegetable food, reduces the general caloric content of the menu. And this in itself is very good, here only the same methods if to apply them at the mixed food will yield just the same result. If the caloric content of food remains invariable, then and no weight loss is observed neither at traditional food, nor at separate.

And the dirty trick is that the nature initially programmed a gastrointestinal tract of the person on the mixed food. A set of enzymes which are produced by a stomach and a pancreas allows to digest at the same time in a duodenum of a squirrel, fats and carbohydrates. Transition to separate food does not give full-fledged load of various enzymatic systems that leads to the fact that the organism which got used to separate food cannot return to the usual mixed food any more.

In other words, "separate food" for the healthy person can be considered as voluntary destruction of normal digestion. And one more factor, too important, it is impossible to neglect pleasure from food. Constantly and strictly following the principle of separate food, it is very difficult to prepare really tasty dishes, and it as a direct way to reduction of contents in a brain of neurotransmitters of good mood.

The healthy nutrition is what?
At the theory of separate food there are a lot of supporters around the world. It really helped someone, did not bring someone special benefit and to whom did much harm finally. The human body is a most difficult mechanism and before deciding to pass to this system interfering with a complex system of digestion well weigh all pros and cons. To refuse it further it can appear not so simply.

Well, and the healthy nutrition can be considered food qualitative on structure, and moderated by quantity which caloric content answers your energy consumption. Such food will help to keep health, beauty, symmetry and joy of life for many years.
