Body fat accumulation is a very specific indicator of health hazards. It accumulates not only in subcutaneous fat, but also on the inner wall of blood vessels. Excessive fat accumulation on the inner wall of blood vessels is the main cause of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Too much fat can also lead to metabolic disorders, affecting blood sugar and endocrine. The result of the failure of blood sugar regulation is diabetes that cannot be cured for life and has many complications. Many women also suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, dull skin aging and other unhealthy conditions because of obesity.
1. First of all, Chinese and Western people have different constitutions and eating habits. The dietary structure of oriental yellow people is fundamentally different from that of western white people. The descendants of China people live on cereals, pork, etc. Don't eat until they are rotten; Westerners eat vegetables, beef and other foods rich in fiber, vitamins and compounds. Moreover, West Renye Fang doesn't eat fried food every day, but vegetable salad is also their usual table meal. 2. According to the Five Elements Theory of TCM. Yellow belongs to the earth in the five elements and governs the spleen and stomach in the human body. Therefore, the yellow race has the best digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and also pays attention to food culture. The yellow race is characterized by short stature, simple and honest personality, developed intelligence and flexible mind. Yellow people eat whole grains, so their muscles are underdeveloped and plump and round are their physical characteristics. Cereals are rich in calories and fat, but almost no fiber. Muscular underdevelopment is mainly caused by congenital racial inheritance and dietary characteristics.
3, barbecue also has a healthy way of barbecue, and foreign frying is different from ours. We usually fry steak in a large pot of hot oil, and the way they fry steak is very different from ours. We can't say that foreigners are healthier than us. There are many people with "three highs", but with the improvement of living conditions, China's eating habits are changing. Many people abandon cooked food and often eat junk food, high fat, high calorie or fried food.
It is a long-term goal to maintain a diversified diet, increase weekly exercise time and maintain a relaxed state of mind. Any indulgence comes at a price. If you are profligate when you are young, you will generally shorten the total time to enjoy life. When the finish line approaches, most people will regret it So seek happiness from life, but also moderately. Put "sweetness" at the back, and make yourself healthier within the tolerable range. Such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol and reducing meat and fat. Only through a little effort can we get a better quality of life.
First of all, living under the same roof with foreigners, I only know that their food is simple, and there are bread, butter, jam and coffee for breakfast. Lunch is a simple sandwich with tea. Dinner is their most important meal. Steak, lamb chops and pork chops are the main meats, fried in yellow oil or baked in the oven. Secondly, all kinds of vegetables, such as broccoli, potatoes, onions and carrots, are basically these kinds. Just boil it in water. Then there is salt and ketchup and so on. This is the whole day.
Secondly, in terms of diet, milk has a great influence on Europeans. When I first came here, drinking milk gave me diarrhea. I went to see a doctor, who just asked questions. After talking for about 5 minutes, the price is 75 yuan, and it is still a school doctor, which is much cheaper than outside. Call me lactose intolerant and let me drink zero lactose milk. It's really okay. I really don't have much diarrhea. All the food here will basically have butter and cheese, which foreigners especially like and everyone likes. I once chatted with an Australian friend, an old white man. He said that Asians are in poor health because they drink less milk, and Asians are allergic to milk. The most common example is diarrhea. We all know that protein is very important to human body, and the metabolism and growth of human body need protein's participation. Milk is considered as the most nutritious food, because it is rich in protein and low in energy. Relatively speaking, foreigners are strong and tall.
This has something to do with milk. For example, when I was a child, my family was poor and I couldn't eat, so I was very poor, so I was only about the same height as my father. On the contrary, when relatives were young, their conditions were very good, and their brothers and sisters were very tall, with men 180 or more and women 170 or more. My brother and I are the same as our father, 175 without shoes. Foreigners are tall, but Chinese abroad are relatively southerners and have thin bodies. I wear shoes around 178, which is not short here. Many foreigners say I am really tall. I replied contemptuously that I was only the average height of China. I said that we northerners are very tall and have wood. I hate milk, and eating out is mostly western food, because with foreigners, I have no choice. All food, western food, has milk. It is the happiest thing in the world to have a chance to eat Chinese food. Say a little more, that is to say, milk is very important and has a direct impact on the individual life cycle. Fast food such as KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut are really popular abroad because they are really cheap. Lunch is basically 5 yuan, a hamburger, French fries, coke and two chicken wings. Compared with the price of Chinese food, a bowl of rice noodles or Lamian Noodles is 12. For the local low-income people, five yuan can provide so much food that they can eat. They prefer to eat this every day. As a result, this audience is all obese. The so-called junk food with high energy and high calorie is the same all over the world. Why can they live so long? According to my observation, the local white people around me can eat these fast foods once a week, which is quite a lot! Most people still eat some homemade dinners, basically vegetables and meat. For those who eat fast food every day, I dare say that they are not a group of people who live a long and healthy life.
Changing your goals, giving up the old pedantic way of keeping in good health and changing to a more fashionable way of life may make you feel happier. For example, looking for a sense of accomplishment brought by self-discipline from exercise, and experiencing the ritual sense of life and the beautiful taste of new things from a healthy diet. These positive lifestyles will not only make you feel bound, but also show your personal taste, which is a very high-quality personal label. Compared with the middle-aged greasy man, we certainly prefer the fashionable uncle with a refreshing waist line.
20 15 The latest global obesity index shows that the obesity rate in the United States has reached 3 1.8% (excluding overweight), ranking 1 1 among more than 80 countries and regions. About 65,438+020,000 people die of obesity-related diseases every year in the United States, resulting in medical expenses of about 65,438+047 billion US dollars, accounting for 6% to 65,438+02% of medical expenses in the United States. It is estimated that in 2030, the proportion of obese people in the United States will rise to 42%, and medical expenses will increase by 550 billion US dollars.
As for European countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) released the European Obesity Report as early as 20 16, pointing out that European countries will face a very serious obesity crisis in 2030, and more than 50% of European residents will be overweight. WHO also reminded that European countries must put forward corresponding countermeasures to deal with obesity as soon as possible, and issues including childhood obesity should be seriously considered.
With the influence of western food culture on the whole world, such as eating fried food, all kinds of hamburgers, all kinds of canned meat, drinking all kinds of carbonated drinks and beer. Many people's dietary preferences and dietary structure begin to change, which will lead to a large amount of fat intake and accumulation, and eventually lead to overweight and even obesity. It can be said that with the transmission and expansion of western food culture (high sugar, high salt and deep frying) to the world, the global obesity rate has finally increased. Look at the Japanese side first. As we all know, the diet in Japan is very reasonable. Except for Lamian Noodles, the soup is very thick, and all other foods are mixed with meat and vegetables, with little stir-frying, light and plenty of fish. The Japanese government has spent a lot of money on social security, and the medical system is very mature. Nearly 20% of GDP is spent on medical insurance, which can be said to be amazing. Japan's low crime rate, strict environmental protection, excellent air quality and strict food quality supervision are all reasons for its long life. Look at Singapore. The island country of Singapore has advanced medical facilities and a medical system called "miracle", which will undoubtedly make Singaporeans live longer. In addition, Singapore's control over food safety, tobacco and alcohol is also an important reason. As for Switzerland. As a neutral country, Switzerland has a stable government and a very rich economy. Its per capita GDP is nearly ten times that of China, and it is often called one of the happiest countries on earth. Of course, good environment, good water quality, good air and developed medical facilities ensure the longevity of Swiss people.
