Proverbs about food and health. Proverbs about healthy eating

Proverbs and sayings about food accompany us from the very first, if not days, then years of life for sure. “Schi and porridge are our food!” my grandmother often said. But I still didn’t understand: how can you love ordinary cabbage soup when you really want ice cream or cake! 🙂 And only when I grew up - I realized that there is no bread - and life is not sweet. And in childhood, my grandmother still spoiled me with pies, and sentenced a well-known proverb about pies, a hut and corners. And now I bake such pies myself. That's how it turns out 🙂 And handing the pie to my grandchildren, I, like my grandmother, try not to do without the corresponding proverb or saying about food.

Since ancient times, people have tried to take care of their health, and they knew almost everything about the benefits of proper nutrition. However, despite the fact that each generation is based on healthy eating made their own changes, but the main principles have survived to this day. Proverbs about proper nutrition were passed down from generation to generation and were a kind of manual that taught how to live and what to eat in order to preserve strength. A vivid confirmation of this can be the statement of Socrates "You need to eat in order to live, and not live in order to eat." I would like to note that all statements and floorboards were composed on the basis of their own observations. By eating certain foods, people saw the result of their impact on the body, thus, new statements appeared, such as: “Eat garlic and onions - they won’t take an ailment” or “Onion heals seven ailments.” Having made a certain conclusion, people began to respect foods such as garlic and onions.

Our grandparents had special treatment to bread, so many proverbs about healthy eating are dedicated to this particular product. It is enough to recall such statements as: "Water is mother, and bread is father." Since ancient times, bread has been rightfully considered an invaluable product, because it contains such useful elements necessary for the body as: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins.

If you delve into the meaning of the Russian proverb “Not everything in the mouth that the eye sees”, it becomes clear that even our ancestors approached food wisely. Only in this way did food become the basis of excellent well-being, a cheerful spirit and good health.

Folk proverbs about porridge

It is probably difficult to find a person who would not know about the benefits of porridge. There is simply no better breakfast than light oatmeal. People who prefer cereals know many recipes for their preparation - these can be buckwheat cutlets, corn cookies, rice meatballs and much more. Our ancestors also considered porridge to be healthy and incredibly tasty, so there are many sayings dedicated to this particular product. “Good porridge, but a small bowl”, “Our mother - buckwheat". And this is not all the statements that are devoted to this priceless product.

There are also many sayings in which special attention is paid to the diet: « Shorten dinner - lengthen life”, “Kefir is not needed for dinner”.

Informative sayings

There are also some sayings about healthy eating which states that food should be eaten in moderation. After all, even our ancestors noticed that overeating can cause serious health problems, in confirmation of this I would like to cite such a popular saying “Eat and do not get fat, then you will be healthier.” It is surprising that in these proverbs everything is very accurately noticed about proper and healthy nutrition, which is why they have survived to this day and, of course, will certainly be passed on to the next generations.

Also, our ancestors invented a lot of sayings about food culture. We all know from childhood such a statement "When I eat, I am deaf and dumb." So in childhood, many children were told by their grandmothers. However, modern scientists have proven the negative impact of extraneous factors on the digestion process.

If all folk sayings are placed in one book, you get a real storehouse of practical advice and recommendations on proper and healthy nutrition. By all appearances folk sayings, we can conclude: proper nutrition is the key to good health, youth and longevity.

We have collected the best examples for you folk wisdom- proverbs, sayings and aphorisms about the benefits of a healthy diet. They will help you tune in to losing weight and once again remind you that people who eat right stay healthy and live longer.

“I eat to live, and some live to eat,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. Have you thought about the meaning of the sentence? Nutrition is an important part of life, but is not the meaning of existence.

You don't have to give up your favorite food: a slice of pie or Christmas baked chicken. If a person understands that the foods he eats are needed to extract the necessary nutrients, then there is nothing to worry about.

But more often we forget about the purpose of food and eat several times more than the body needs. This applies to festive feasts, which are overflowing with all kinds of dishes, and we certainly try each one.

To stay in good shape, find motivation for yourself. Read books about the benefits of healthy eating, articles, watch feature films or documentaries.

Proverbs and sayings are expressions honed over the centuries. Each of them went through a series of metamorphoses, reborn into a brief but accurate truth. Proverbs are the quintessence of folk life wisdom and experience. The meanings of sayings and proverbs are different. Proverbs carry some wisdom, and sayings are more often used "for a red word."

Breakfast is the main source of strength and energy for the whole day, so you should never neglect a light morning meal.

• As you chew, so you live.

Scientists have proven that the more carefully you chew food, the more benefits it brings. It seems incredible, but it really is. Thoroughly chewed food is easier to digest, and the body receives maximum amount nutrients.

The meaning of this proverb is proper cooking food. Any product, even if you haven’t eaten it because you don’t like the taste or smell, will be tasty and healthy if cooked correctly.

• When you go to bed with an empty stomach, you wake up refreshed.

During sleep, the body needs rest. If you eat before bed, then instead of resting, the stomach continues to work. This negatively affects the general well-being in the morning.

• An apple a day and you don't need a doctor.

The meaning of this well-known proverb should be taken literally. Apples are a natural source of iron and a complex of vitamins that are easily absorbed by the body. In addition, apples help digestion and in the blood.
