People's understanding of diet and health is also from simple to in-depth and keeps pace with the times. Yesterday, they knew it was right, and tomorrow they may find something wrong again. In this issue, I recommend several latest overseas articles on diet and health preservation.
At the beginning of the new year, the British "Independent" reviewed the latest health research results and concocted a health tip, hoping to make everyone live a healthier and happier life in 2003.
A teaspoon of garlic every day: Eating 5 ml of garlic juice every day can reduce the chemicals that cause diseases in the body by 48%, reduce brain aging and blood vessel obstruction, and help prevent cancer and arthritis.
Eat unprocessed natural food: eat unprocessed bread, rice, etc. At least four times a week can reduce the risk of cancer by 40%.
Eat more fruits and vegetables: Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, especially tomatoes, grapes and broccoli, to reduce the chances of stroke and diabetes. Women who eat more vegetables and beans can halve their risk of breast cancer.
Eat less fast food: Eating too much high-fat food will increase blood cholesterol, leading to arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and stroke.
Eat less salt: WHO stipulates that you should not eat more than 5 grams of salt every day. Eating too much salt will raise blood pressure, leading to stroke and heart disease.
Drinking coffee to prevent colon cancer: Drinking 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 25%.
Drinking coffee is beneficial: drinking 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day can reduce colon cancer by 25%, gallstones by 45%, cirrhosis by 80% and asthma by 25%.
However, drinking too much coffee will increase the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis. Tea is better than coffee: people who drink tea are half as likely to die of a heart attack as those who don't. The premature death rate of tea drinkers is also 44% lower than that of others. Carrots to remove bad breath: eat more fiber vegetables and carrots, and don't drink too much coffee. Take more vitamins: Taking at least 200mg folic acid multivitamin tablets every day can reduce the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and colon cancer by 85%.
Taking folic acid in pregnant women can also reduce the risk of birth defects, but taking too many vitamins will increase the risk of prostate cancer.
