The poor pursue sweets, but the middle class loves hardships? What are the benefits of "suffering"
People have a good acceptance of sweet food in essence, but for bitter food, it is a food that people often resist.

The reasons for this situation are: firstly, the problem of taste; Secondly, in the past, sweets were scarce and more "advanced" than ordinary food, giving people the illusion of "aristocratic food".

But with the improvement of people's quality of life, almost everyone has the ability to satisfy their desire to eat sweet.

Of course, excessive intake of sweets will have a very serious negative impact on human health. At this point, many middle-class people with more health knowledge have changed their eating habits, no longer pursuing sweets, but pursuing "bitter food".

"Bitter food" has become the favorite of the nouveau riche class.

The upstarts still have a high demand for life, so they are more picky about diet and health.

They have enough time to manage their three meals a day and some snacks. What they do is not "idle and bored", but in this way, they can better adjust their diet health and achieve the effect of health preservation, so as to be responsible for their health.

In their recipes, more and more bitter foods appear, such as bitter gourd, bitter chrysanthemum and kudingcha. Different bitter foods have different health care functions.

There is another important similarity between these ingredients and finished products, that is, the contents of sugar, fat and salt are very low, and some finished products don't even add seasonings, so as to taste the most original umami flavor of food and ensure the best nutritional state of food.

(Bitter craft beer has also become popular in China. )

But in fact, most people do not like bitter food.

The number of working-class people is very large, and most of them pursue sweets. Why?

In fact, the working class has an absolute advantage in the proportion of the population, and its quantitative advantage also reflects the most basic requirements of human beings for food.

The reason why I like sweets is that sweets contain energy and can be converted into more fat. The human body will subconsciously eat more sweets, so that it can reserve energy in advance, that is, produce fat.

This phenomenon is also a natural self-protection behavior of human beings.

However, in today's society, this primitive crisis (famine, etc. ) has rarely appeared. People generally don't need to store energy (fat). Excessive reserves will lead to problems in people's health, and some diseases of wealth have appeared.

As for why the human body rejects bitterness, it actually stems from the instinctive reaction of the human body.

In nature, bitterness is generally toxic.

Of course, not all bitter foods are toxic, but non-toxic bitter foods are quite rare. The human body rejects all bitter foods on the principle of avoiding poisoning.

Bitter gourd was also used at first, because of its bitter taste, humans dare not eat it. )

The essence of "hardship" is actually the pursuit of nature.

It seems that the newly rich may be out of tune with most people in their diet.

But their real purpose is not to be different from what most people eat, but to pursue a natural diet, reject high-salt and high-oil cooking methods, oppose the food industry flooded with spices, pursue a healthy and natural original flavor, restore the original charm of ingredients, and let people no longer be blinded by "heavy taste".

Bitter coffee is very popular among white-collar workers.

A balanced diet is the ultimate goal.

Knowing the essence of "hardship", we can see the principle of healthy diet, that is, balanced diet.

Sweet food has the advantages of sweet food, and bitter food has the advantages of bitter food. Only by supplementing each other and diversifying the diet can the human body get the balanced nutrition it needs, make people healthier, achieve the effect of health preservation and really improve the quality of life.
