I read an article in People's Daily today entitled "Diet and Health: Can eating braised pork determine the life span?" At the beginning of the article, "rumors" were regarded as news. What kind of rumor is it? It turns out that there are a lot of news about braised pork on the Internet. What news? It turns out that many long-lived old people like to eat braised pork. In recent years, the eating habits of long-lived elderly people are often reported. It is found that the eating habits of these long-lived elderly people are not as good as people usually think, and some habits are still considered bad habits, such as eating braised pork. The following is a list of past reports. 1. Naixi Village, Laiguangying Township, Chaoyang District, Beijing Song Xiangyun likes to eat braised pork. Her life has a special requirement, that is, braised pork is essential, and braised pork is the favorite of the elderly. Second, on 20 12, the reporter interviewed Changshou Township, Guangxi, where there were 108 elderly people. When introducing the eating habits of these old people, he introduced three old people, Chen and Wu Jinzhen. They all love to eat pork, among which Wu Jinzhen eats pork in a big way every meal. A survey on the eating habits of 40 centenarians in Beijing shows that 30 people especially like to eat braised pork almost every day, but their triglycerides and cholesterol are not high, and no diseases such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and diabetes have been found. For many years, whether experts, doctors, nutritionists or major media, pork and saturated fat have been foods that should be avoided in the diet. After long-term publicity, popularization and education, the public has also formed a deep-rooted concept. Pork and saturated fat are the chief culprits of various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and AIDS syndrome. The results show that the saturated fatty acid content in raw pork belly oil is the highest, followed by monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. After blanching and cooking, the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids in raw meat increased significantly. After stewing for two hours, monounsaturated fatty acids became the main fatty acids, while saturated fatty acids in raw meat decreased obviously. "So, this is the reason why long-lived elderly people love to eat braised pork without hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases. There are a lot of centenarians in Okinawa, Japan. Their diet structure mainly comes from China's ancient eating habits. Combined with the characteristics of local resources, pork, fish, kelp and tofu are almost common foods on the table. In 2008, a 18 study published by Harvard School of Public Health in Circulation magazine showed that the intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and pork was defined as a strict and special dietary behavior. The incidence and total mortality of cardiovascular diseases in the former are lower than those in the latter. A study released by Dutch researchers on 20 13 is also quite interesting. Compared with the normal control, the fat metabolism of the offspring of the elderly over 90 years old also has particularity. 19 kinds of fat are related to family longevity. The ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids to polyunsaturated fatty acids in the blood of long-lived female offspring is higher, so it is less likely to cause oxidative stress. For the elderly, braised pork provides high-quality protein and slows down the degradation of the body; Provide a reasonable proportion of fatty acids to maintain the normal operation of body functions; Provide essential cholesterol for the elderly, reduce the burden of cholesterol production in the body, and provide guarantee for maintaining muscles, producing vitamin D and endocrine hormones in the body; The fat provided by pork is not easy to be oxidized, which helps the elderly to resist aging. Therefore, eating a little meat for the elderly is a kind of protection for the body, and it can also delay the aging process of the elderly, which is also the reason why the elderly who eat braised pork live a long and healthy life.
