At a time when nature generously gives us juicy fruits, it is easy not to resist the temptation to taste more than our body can tolerate. In addition, not all vegetables and fruits, despite their impeccable appearance, can be safe and healthy. The threats of the summer "fruit paradise" were discussed at a meeting of clients of the Hesed Besht Health Center, organized by the manager of the Health Center Natalia Gerasimenko and with the participation of the gerontologist of the Nightingale Polyclinic No. 1 Alla Viktorovna.
The vivid presentation that the doctor brought with her helped people better understand the world of juicy vegetables and fruits. Alla Viktorovna spoke about the general rules for consuming early vegetables and fruits, the need for their thermal or hygienic treatment before consumption. A significant part of the presentation concerned the issue of nitrates. Once again, people were told about their danger, insidiousness, and ability to accumulate both in fruits and in the human body. It was also about methods of neutralizing these substances and the symptoms of poisoning by them. It is extremely important to diagnose such processes in a timely and correct manner so as not to delay seeking medical help.
During the meeting, clients not only asked questions, but also shared practical cooking skills, observations regarding product quality, and ways to combat poisoning. The dialogue made the meeting twice as useful and dynamic, and the specialist's comments brought new knowledge and refuted some myths that were not true.
Clients were also interested in other topics that are within Alla Viktorovna's expertise, such as ways to combat aging. However, due to lack of time and to prevent a useful lecture from turning into a "vinaigrette," these questions were postponed to the next meeting.
The Health Center always strives to give its clients the best. Therefore, such a meeting was far from the last. The main thing is that our people use the knowledge they have gained correctly. Then the Center will have less work, and clients will be healthier and more cheerful.
