Russian holidays - Day of healthy eating and avoiding excesses in food

On June 2, Russia celebrates Healthy Nutrition Day. This is a unique holiday where there is no place for rich traditional feasts and gastronomic excesses. This is Russian revenge - our answer to the American National Gluttony Day under the auspices of “eat whatever you want.” Russian Day of No Excess Food is an ardent protest of food permissiveness and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. The authorship of the holiday belongs to the domestic online community for tasty and balanced nutrition, a navigator in the industry of healthy diets and simple workouts. In 2011, the group's organizers held a protest against overeating. The main goal was to draw public attention to the destructive and unhealthy lifestyle and its sad consequences. This was achieved brilliantly. The idea was picked up by other representatives of the “useful” communities. On Healthy Nutrition Day, they hold themed flash mobs, meetings with famous nutritionists and psychologists, master classes, exhibition fairs, seminars and performances by fitness stars. The mission of the holiday is to popularize knowledge and focus on the problems of overweight people. An attempt to convey the main idea - every person must be responsible for what he feeds his body. After all, Hippocrates also said that the cause of diseases of the human race is the result of improper nutrition. Another good purpose of the holiday is to protect people from the actions of charlatans and “false prophets from medicine” who make money from the misfortunes of overweight people. Talk about the pitfalls of rapid weight loss, “miracle pills” and fabulous techniques. As part of the holiday, useful and objective information is disseminated about which additives are beneficial and which are harmful and dangerous. The organizers of the “healthy celebration” teach you how to change your life, rebuild your diet, and learn how to cook food that is tasty and does not lead to weight gain. No Eating Day is a way to explain that eating healthier requires awareness, thoughtfulness and acceptance. You should realize that food often satisfies not a physiological need, but a psycho-emotional one. We use harmful “snacks” to eat stress, worries, lack of understanding and love. In Russia, more than 60% of women and 50% of men over 30 years of age are overweight. The main cause of the problem is overeating, unbalanced nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle. The result is figures that are far from ideal, ailments and serious illnesses. We need to rebuild our consciousness, and life itself will change. All you have to do is take the first step on the path to slimness, say “down with excess” and “goodbye kilograms.” The task of a person in a sedentary era with a maximum of well-fed food and sitting at the computer for many hours is to save himself, to develop a clear algorithm for personal activity and nutrition for every day, which would become a pleasant habit.
