Изображение
            The Body Positive Movement The body positive movement is firmly in our lives: plus-size models are increasingly appearing on the covers of magazines, fashion houses arrange inclusive shows with non-standard models, and the word "diversity" does not leave the pages of the media. It seems like good news, but it's not really that clear cut. A body positive ( https://bit.ly/2Pe4pAs ) is a feminist movement whose main goal is to convince people to accept the body for what it is. The motto of the followers of the bodypositive is: "My body is my business" . The aim of the movement is to fight against imposed standards of beauty, to rid people of complexes and to start talking freely about the body.

Today I would like to write about a very important topic for our health: a Keto diet. Keto diet ( Ketogenic diet) is a variant of the low-carb diet with a high percentage of fat in the diet, in which the body produces ketones in the liver and uses them as energy. Initially, the main, most familiar and affordable source of energy for our body is glucose. When you eat something high in carbohydrates, our body processes them into glucose, which increases blood sugar and to stabilize it and distribute glucose through the body's cells, the pancreas produces insulin. Insulin -the main building hormone, which on the one hand is an important transport system for nutrients, on the other hand-prevents the process of fat burning. Ketosis is a natural state of our body that is triggered when the glucose content in the diet is low. With it, the body produces ketones, breaking down fatty acids to provide us with sufficient levels of energy,...
