Nowadays, one gastronomic error is widespread - this is often a repeated mantra that packing, canning and frost destroy the nutrients contained in the products. Another error is the fear of all sorts of "chemical" additives in such food. However, modern dietology has nothing against canned and frozen products. Although, of course, fresh fruit vegetables can be more pleasant to taste.
Funny perspective to eat a "chemical factory in a tin can", many people are too strive for "naturalness" and are trying to abandon any food additives used by the modern food industry. But do not forget that there are chemicals that prevent damage to products and improve their taste and quality. Therefore, it is not necessary to abandon canned food because of the fear of sodium, preservatives and other "chemicals". As for the "nutrient loss" in conservation, we note that only a small part of the beneficial substances is lost with this processing, and this is not a reason to completely deprive them.
Let's consider an example. The canned bean bank is an excellent source of proteins and masses of nutrients, including folic acid, fiber, magnesium, iron, copper and potassium. Opening the jar with canned beans, you immediately receive all these beneficial substances, and you do not need half a day to soak and boil the raw beans.
Special attention of buyers deserves freezing: remember that it is precisely such products that are usually the most qualitative. If you choose frozen fruits, berries or vegetables, then according to the technology, they are frozen when they are the most recent and ripe - almost "with a bed". The same applies to meat, birds and fish. In any case, frozen foods are much fresh and more useful than the long-standing deposits of their "fresh" analogues. Choosing a "freezing", you will not lose any beneficial substances, while you can enjoy its undoubted advantages - a variety, bright taste and ease of preparation.
By the way, it is due to the technological processing of the products we get huge culinary "bonuses". After all, for the first time in the history of mankind, people can enjoy fruits and vegetables all year round: eat tomatoes in December, berries - in February. Nowadays, you can easily make a stock of products that will be stored without problems for several days, weeks and even months. And at any time, prepare a full-fledged dish from these products, just warming it or placing a frozen semi-finished product.
And those who solved all his life to adhere to low-calorie nutrition, it is canned products that can diversify the diet. If you can avoid the food boredom, then surely never get overweight, "torn" on the high-calorie products.
So do not avoid frozen and canned products - on the contrary, eat them without fears and feelings of guilt. As for the salt - yes, for some people there are medical testimony to limit the use of products containing sodium. If you think that you need a diet with reduced salt use, then you should consult with your doctor. If there are no such contraindications, it is not necessary to limit the consumption of salt. From the point of view of weight loss it is not important.
