Today, on the Christmas Eve, we offer you to take look at kutya through the lens of a nutritionist

– a doctor who knows everything about the human body, the peculiarities of the course of diseases of internal organs, and also knows in detail about the chemical and biological composition of each product, its effect on the body, including benefits and the harm of everything we consume.

So, kutya is not only a sacred ritual dish of the Slavic peoples, but also extremely tasty and good for the body.

Our ancestors prepared kutya as a ritual dish almost six thousand years ago. The most useful things that nature sent for food were added to it.

The basis of kutya is grain, i.e. wheat. The grain in the primitive culture symbolizes the infinity of life, because when it is planted into the ground, it sprouts a new crop. Proteins are the most valuable part of grain. Wheat proteins are complete proteins, as they contain all essential amino acids, including the most important ones: tryptophan, methionine and lysine. There is also a lot of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium in the grain.

The next component of kutya is poppy. It is customary to put a lot of poppy seeds into the dish as a symbol of prosperity. If we are talking about nutritional value, each poppy seed contains 15% protein, 75% carbohydrates, 2% fat. Poppy seeds are also rich in calcium.

There is also no kutya without honey, which contains glucose, fructose, sucrose, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium.

The fourth mandatory component of kutya are walnuts. They also contain a lot of protein, fiber, useful carbohydrates, an incredibly large amount of trace elements, vitamins A, B, C, E and PP, and fatty acids necessary for the human body.

Looking at what our ancestors added to kutya from ancient times, one cannot help being amazed by their wisdom and knowledge.

Sometimes dried fruits were added to kutya – either dried apples, pears or plums.

Dried fruits were also used to make another mandatory Christmas Eve dish – uzvar. It is often prescribed during sanatorium-resort treatment. Dried fruits contain a large amount of fiber, which is useful for the gastrointestinal tract, as well as minerals and vitamins of group B. Based on this, you could say that a glass of uzvar is a real elixir of health and longevity. If uzvar is made from dried apples, it contains a lot of iron, which is needed for blood formation. If it is made from pears, it’s meant to improve the health of the nervous system and the removal of toxins from the body.

We sincerely wish you a generous Christmas dinner!

But remember: when consuming even the most useful things, you need to know the measure!

If your body needs to choose an ideal individual diet, you can always consult a nutritionist at Kalyna – Centre of Modern Medicine (Heroiv Krut St., 6 (Novyi Lviv), Lviv, phone number: 096 099 03 09).

I want to recommend the wonderful Kalyna centre and their good specialists. Dr. Ulyana Orestivna is a doctor from God – pays attention to the smallest details, analyzes everything, studies the medical history in detail. Treatment is affordable and the most important thing is that it is effective. It's good that the clinic offers complex tests; has many specialists of narrow profiles, the necessary equipment for examinations, which is very convenient and it saves time. The prices are affordable and there are often limited offers for a range of procedures, examinations and tests. Ms. Olena always greets you with a smile, which sets you up positively and you forget that you’re going to the doctor (this is crucial!).

Now I have a photo with my  favorite doctor. I want to express my gratitude, because this person is truly special for me. First of all, I want to thank you once again for the fact that in 2011, you, Ulyana Orestivna, and your team of excellent specialists, as they say, «pulled me back from the brink of death» (and I am not exaggerating here). Thanks to you and your persistent charisma, as well as your boundless kindness, I understood many things: how to treat myself and my health correctly, what should be my priority, and what I shouldn’t even pay attention to. That’s why for me you are not just a doctor, an expert in your field, but also a psychologist, to whom you can turn for advice and support. To be honest, I can write a lot, I laughed and cried with you... At that moment, when I didn't want to live. You made it clear that life is the most precious thing that we have, and therefore it should be protected. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the opening of the Kalyna clinic. I would like to wish you prosperity and success in your professional activities. May the talent and work of your team bring people help and salvation from all diseases. I wish there were more doctors like you, Ulyana Orestivna, because you are a real specialist in your field. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you only grateful patients and to remain the best doctor.
