According to Dr. Oksana Mikhaleva, a Russian endocrinologist and nutritionist, the most dangerous dinner in terms of weight gain is French fries with meat.
In an interview with the newspaper "Izvestia", the doctor points out that the most dangerous dinner that causes weight gain is foods rich in fats, carbohydrates and salt, especially French fries and fried or grilled meat.
“These are some of the most dangerous dinners, because they contain a huge amount of calories, a lot of fats and simple carbohydrates, which turn into fat mass in the body and are stored in reserve for many years in the waist area,” she says.
According to her, eating such high-calorie, easily digestible foods in the evening does not provide the opportunity to burn these calories. In addition, it disrupts the production of “fat-burning” hormones at night and stimulates the secretion of insulin, which causes the formation of visceral fat in the body.
She says: “If a person is concerned about his weight, he should not eat dinner late, but rather eat dinner at least 2-3 hours before his bedtime. In addition, dinner should be light and contain vegetables and lean meat.” Or fish, a small amount of whole grains, and cottage cheese.”
The most important organ in the body “for determining life expectancy”
Dr. Valery Berder, Head of the Department of Pharmacotherapy at the Blokhin Scientific Research Center for Oncology, described the “liver” as the organ that determines a person’s life expectancy.
According to him, the liver plays a greater role in the human body than the heart because it performs a large number of complex functions.
He says: “The liver is an important organ, and unfortunately, nothing replaces it. It is a unique factory, charged with a large number of functions in the body. The collapse of any of them can be fatal. The heart is a simple pump. It does not have complex functions, unlike the liver.” ".
He points out that the first important function of the liver is “protein synthesis,” as this organ produces a huge amount of biologically active substances, hormones and enzymes, in addition to removing toxins.
“It is important not only to deal with what the body does not need, but also to absorb what is needed,” he says. “In addition, the liver is responsible for producing bile, the body’s energy reserve, in addition to many other functions.”
