State budgetary institution of social services "Zheleznovodsk comprehensive center for social services of the population." What kind of holiday is the Day of Healthy Eating and Avoiding Excessive Eating and when is it celebrated? June 2nd is Healthy Nutrition Day

Every year adherents healthy eating, or as they call themselves - pp-shnikov, there are more and more people in the world. Proper nutrition or “PP” is not only healthy, but also always fit appearance. Being fat is no longer fashionable these days. But the most interesting thing is that Healthy Eating Day arose as a counterweight to Gluttony Day.

Healthy eating against obesity

On June 2, 2011, several Russian enthusiasts decided to establish a day proper nutrition. By doing this, they wanted to troll the famous American holiday of gluttony, when you can eat as much as you want and whatever you want. Russian PP people seemed to be hinting to their overseas opponents that Gluttony Day in America takes place not only on June 2, but every day. This ingenious idea found approval not only among Russian residents, but also among healthy eating enthusiasts from several other countries of the world. But the emphasis here was no longer on trolling. It was necessary to attract people's attention to the problem excess weight.

Causes of obesity

A day of healthy eating and avoidance of excess food will not be able to change the situation with obesity overnight. He will only remind you that every individual person can change the situation, starting directly with himself. At first glance, it seems that weight is gained only due to overeating. In fact, there are many more factors leading to excess weight. This and bad habits, for example, alcohol consumption, as well as stress, which people, for the most part, are accustomed to eating.

Food culture

You can blame a lot on the transience of our lives, when it is impossible to allocate enough time for lunch, dinner and breakfast, and it’s easier to grab the first pie you come across and stuff it into yourself on the run. One pie is not a problem, but when their number starts to grow, it’s time to sound the alarm. In addition, food is increasingly consumed not for the purpose of replenishing strength, energy, or satisfying hunger, but simply for pleasure or as an antidepressant. Every year everything more people they begin to live under the motto: “Live to eat,” forgetting that they need to do exactly the opposite: “Eat to live.”

Do you want to lose weight?

A wide variety of scammers are profiting from the problem of obesity. They came up with all sorts of miraculous ways: “lose 30 kg in a week,” “Kremlin diet,” “eat more, lose more weight.” All this is nothing more than a scam. A person is offered to pay a huge amount of money for a miracle; the unfortunate person believes in a way to lose weight, because for that kind of money it must work. As a result, time passes, the result is zero, there is no money, and you get another stress that you definitely need to eat well.

Healthy Nutrition Day is celebrated in Russia. 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 – an ardent protest of food permissiveness and propaganda healthy image life.

The history of the “correct holiday”

The authorship of the holiday belongs to the domestic Internet community for delicious and balanced diet, industry navigator proper 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, themed flash mobs and meetings with famous nutritionists and psychologists, master classes, exhibition fairs, seminars and performances by fitness stars.

"Holiday" tasks

The mission of the holiday is to popularize knowledge and focus on the problems of overweight people. An attempt to convey main idea– Every person must be responsible for what he feeds his body. After all, Hippocrates 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 misfortunes fat people. Talk about pitfalls fast 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.

Changing consciousness

No Eating Day is a way to explain that eating healthier requires awareness, thoughtfulness and acceptance. It should be realized that food often does not satisfy physiological need, and – psycho-emotional. 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 reason the problem is overeating, unbalanced diet And sedentary image life. 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.

Healthy Eating Day is celebrated on June 2. This holiday, like many others, appeared recently, but has already managed to take root in Russia and other countries of the world. And this is understandable - after all, in the modern dynamic world with its high speeds, semi-finished products and poor nutrition, the problem of giving up junk food and banal gluttony is especially acute. Moreover, many do not exercise and are overweight. The purpose of the holiday is to remind people that they are responsible for what they eat and for their health.

history of the holiday

Healthy Eating Day was established in 2011 as a full and symmetrical response to the Gluttony Day established in America. “We are what we eat” - this phrase Everyone without exception has heard it, but few people attach serious importance to it, but in vain. 50% are overweight Russian men and 60% of women aged 30 years and older. And obesity is one of the main trigger factors for the development of heart and vascular diseases, oncology, diabetes, and the formation of tumors of the mammary and prostate glands. The essence of No Excess Food Day is to remind a person that his health is in his hands and directly depends on what he eats.

It all starts simple and sad - a person stops watching what he eats, when and in what quantities. Weight is gaining slowly but surely, and losing a new 20-30 kg is very difficult, especially if you have a habit of stress eating. Healthy Eating Day is designed to explain to people that eating right is the only chance to stay young and healthy for many years.

It’s no secret that having too much is fraught with numerous problems. World history knows many examples of people who had to suffer from diseases caused by overeating and obesity. We are talking about arthrosis, varicose veins, arterial hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, erectile dysfunction, infertility, chronic illness kidneys, oncological diseases.

On June 2, 2011, the Day of Healthy Eating and No Excess Eating was established, which became a kind of challenge to the American “glutton day”, when you are allowed to eat anything in any quantity. This date should remind everyone of how important it is to monitor your daily diet, giving up harmful, health-damaging foods. June 2 is not a national holiday, but it gives us the opportunity to once again think about and take care of our body.

history of the holiday

The idea to organize Healthy Eating Day was an initiative of the online community, which includes ardent fans of diets, weight loss in all possible ways, and a healthy lifestyle. The participants were openly outraged by the presence in America of such a date as Gluttony Day, which does not provide anything useful to the population. Information about such a protest quickly spread across the Internet and community members were quickly able to find like-minded people.

On June 2, in all communities, Internet resources, and organizations supporting a healthy lifestyle, there is active propaganda against fast foods, harmful carbonated drinks, physical inactivity, and spending long periods of time in front of the computer.

Hippocrates argued that health, performance of the body, and life expectancy largely depend on proper nutrition. Excess weight not only spoils the appearance, but also becomes one of the main provoking factors in the development of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, digestive system. People who are obese are much more likely to have problems reproductive function, oncological diseases. And it's all to blame poor nutrition, an abundance of snacks, habitual banal overeating.

Nutritionists urge you to eat on a schedule. Every time you have an irresistible urge to open the refrigerator, you think: “Am I really hungry?” After all, sometimes eating is a reason to distract yourself from boredom or at least temporarily forget about a serious problem. It is the habit of “eating stress” that most often leads to the fact that the scales move inexorably forward.

The topic of obesity among the young working population is very relevant for Russia. According to research from the Institute of Nutrition, 60% of people over 30 are overweight. The data is impressive, so if you don’t instill a nutritional culture in the younger generation, the numbers will increase every year.

Traditions

Directly on June 2, as well as in the days preceding and following this date, adherents of a healthy lifestyle organize all kinds of events, meetings, seminars, and flash mobs dedicated to proper nutrition. On television you can watch thematic programs in which experienced nutritionists give useful tips, share experiences with colleagues, demonstrate the results of their work. It is possible to get a discount or even a free visit to a nutritionist, who will personally select the ideal nutrition plan for you, which will allow you to always feel full without gaining extra pounds.

You should always take care of your health, not just on June 2nd. Those who are very concerned about the topic of proper nutrition and organizing the most healthy diet for the whole family can visit specialized resources, where the most up-to-date information is always presented.

The last aspect was the reason for the emergence of Russian Federation national, as yet unofficial, holiday - the Day of Healthy Eating and Avoiding Excessive Eating.

History of the holiday Day of Healthy Eating and Avoiding Excess Eating

The Internet helped in the fact that our country acquired such a unique, and, most importantly, relevant, celebration. Two years ago, members of a group designed to unite dieters decided to strike back at American gluttons, or rather, their “National Eat What You Want Day” - they organized an event in support of proper nutrition and a protest against overeating.

This initiative was approved by other virtual communities, and a little later received the status of a holiday, the main purpose of which was to focus attention on the problem overweight Russian citizens and simply unhealthy image life.
