Inna Kononenko, Candidate of Medical Sciences, spoke about the pros and cons of each nutritional system.
For several years now there has been an active confrontation between vegetarians and meat eaters. Some argue that light and wholesome food helps them feel more invigorated, while others insist that it is simply impossible to live happily ever after without meat.
Inna Kononenko, Candidate of Medical Sciences, nutritionist and nutritionist, decided once and for all to resolve this dispute. In an interview with 5-tv.ru, the expert explained from a scientific point of view how life expectancy depends on the food consumed and who, in principle, is aging faster.
To begin with, Kononenko noted that today there are only two indicators of the body's wear and tear. The first is the thickness of the vascular wall in the common carotid artery: the larger, the faster aging occurs.
The second main marker of aging is the work of mitochondria - the "power plants" of cells. As Inna Kononenko explained, the more there are, the better they work, the better we live.
It turned out that the absence of even one amino acid will cause irreparable harm to human health. So, each specific protein is broken down and absorbed only in the presence of a specific organic compound. If there is none, problems with the growth of hair, nails will soon begin, vision, skin condition, and, of course, blood vessels will deteriorate.
In conclusion, she added: in order to feel cheerful and happy, each of the "warring" parties, regardless of adherence to a certain diet, it is important to avoid deficiencies of vitamins and minerals.
