What are the common health foods? As people's living standards become more and more affluent, many people begin to pay attention to the topic of health preservation, and food health preservation is undoubtedly a very healthy way of health preservation. Next, I will take you to know what are the related contents of common health foods.

What are the common health foods 1?

1, grains nourish life and drink more millet porridge.

"The five grains are the nourishment, the five fruits are the help, and the five livestock are the benefits". If people want to be healthy, they must eat grains, which support life; Five fruits are the fruits and vegetables we eat to help you digest; Five animals are beneficial, and meat has the function of tonifying deficiency.

Millet is sweet, salty and cool, which can benefit the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidney and qi, remove annoyance, clear heat and facilitate urination. There are symptoms such as spleen and stomach deficiency heat, nausea and vomiting, spleen deficiency diarrhea, mouth heat, bladder fever, dysuria, etc., which are more suitable for cooking porridge.

2, high cholesterol: eat two sweet potatoes a day.

Sweet potato contains 8% dietary fiber, which is mostly soluble and has a strong laxative effect. Chinese medicine believes that "sweet potato can enrich blood, warm the stomach, nourish the five internal organs, fill the grain and prolong life".

Sweet potato can lower cholesterol. Two pieces of sweet potato every morning and evening are good for lowering cholesterol. Li Shizhen once said, "Sweet potato can make people live longer and have fewer diseases" and "Sweet potato can tonify the middle energizer and blood, warm the stomach, tonify the five internal organs, and tonify food and longevity". The benefits of sweet potato have existed since ancient times.

But sweet potatoes should not be eaten raw because starch is difficult to digest; Second, sweet potato contains "gasification enzyme", and if you eat too much, you will have abdominal distension, heartburn, burping and other discomfort. Therefore, sweet potatoes must be cooked or roasted, preferably with corn, which is sweet and refreshing, healthy and long-lived.

3, hyperlipidemia: eat some frozen tofu

There are also good things that can reduce blood fat in daily diet, and frozen tofu is one of them. Frozen tofu is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower cholesterol.

The pores of frozen tofu can absorb oil and have a certain effect of cleaning the stomach. But frozen tofu is best cooked in clear soup, otherwise it will absorb the oil in the soup, which is not good for your health. Gout patients should not eat in acute stage.

4. Bad heart: Eat some potatoes.

Potatoes contain as much as 15% ~ 25% carbohydrates, which exceeds all other vegetables, and it also contains more plant protein than ordinary vegetables. Potatoes contain 502 mg of potassium per100g, which is a rare high-potassium food.

Patients with heart disease, especially those with cardiac insufficiency, have different degrees of edema, and taking diuretics frequently to reduce swelling can easily lead to the loss of potassium in the body. Therefore, eating potatoes regularly can supplement potassium, carbohydrates, protein, minerals and vitamins.

5, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight: eat bitter gourd

Bitter gourd fruit is rich in protein, sugar, minerals and multivitamins. In particular, the content of vitamin C is particularly prominent, which is 14 times that of cucumber, 5 times that of wax gourd and 7 times that of tomato. It has the functions of preventing scurvy, protecting cell membrane, preventing atherosclerosis, improving stress ability and protecting heart.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bitter gourd has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer-heat, nourishing blood and benefiting qi, invigorating kidney and spleen, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, and has a certain curative effect on dysentery, sores, heatstroke, fever, excessive miliaria, conjunctivitis and other diseases.

Momordicoside and picroside in bitter gourd can stimulate appetite, strengthen spleen and increase appetite. Quinine, an alkaloid substance contained in it, has the effects of promoting diuresis and blood circulation, diminishing inflammation and reducing fever, clearing away heart fire and improving eyesight.

How to prevent cardiovascular diseases

1, exercise properly. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients are not unable to exercise, but should exercise properly. The reduction of exercise will also cause slow blood flow and high blood lipid. It is necessary to arrange exercise time reasonably and control the amount of exercise. In winter, you should wait until the sun rises before exercising. At this time, the temperature rises, which can prevent the body from suddenly getting sick due to cold stimulation.

2. Prevent embolism. Blood vessels, especially coronary arteries, tend to contract and spasm in cold winter, leading to insufficient blood supply and possible embolism, so we should pay great attention to keep warm.

3, tonic should be moderate. Our people have the habit of tonic in winter, and exercise less in winter. In addition, a large number of tonic hot foods and medicinal liquor can easily lead to elevated blood lipids and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, winter tonic must be carried out according to personal physique.

4. Mental balance. Emotional excitement is a taboo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia should especially relax their mentality and not let their emotions fluctuate too much.

5, patients should not do morning exercises. Because during sleep, the nervous system of the human body is in a state of inhibition, lacking vitality, suddenly exercising when getting up in the morning, and the nerve excitability suddenly increases, which is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Pay attention to this problem in winter.

What are the common health foods? 2. Women's beauty and health food.

1, salmon

What a surprise. Red meat salmon, which tastes super delicious, actually meets the needs of our taste buds and also provides good help for women's anti-aging. The secret is that the red meat of salmon contains a mysterious ingredient-Haematococcus pluvialis essence, also known as astaxanthin, which is the natural substance with the strongest antioxidant capacity so far.

How strong is the antioxidant capacity of Haematococcus pluvialis essence? Or speak with numbers-vitamin E is 1000 times! 20 times that of lycopene! 10 times of beta carotene! Grape seed 17 times! Anthocyanin 150 times! Tea polyphenols and lutein 200 times! These substances used for comparison will appear in the foods introduced below and become the main factors of antioxidant capacity of different foods. It is precisely because of this precious essence of Haematococcus pluvialis that salmon will become the only meat in Time magazine's list of antioxidant foods. But don't go to the supermarket blindly, because the extract of Haematococcus pluvialis from wild salmon is far more than that from farmed salmon, so you must pay attention to the source of salmon when choosing.

2. Fungal plants, such as mushrooms

When it comes to the antioxidant function of mushrooms, many people may not have heard of it. But what about ganoderma lucidum? This fungal plant appeared in ancient China with the title of "prolonging life", which has obvious anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects. You may not know that the main reason why mushrooms, like Ganoderma lucidum, have antioxidant capacity is that they contain a substance called polysaccharide. The antioxidant activity of polysaccharides is very stable, and whether it is heated at high temperature or in oxygen environment, it will not affect the performance of antioxidant capacity at all. In view of the problem of women's anti-aging, since Ganoderma lucidum can't afford it, women should buy more mushrooms to eat.

3. Green tea

In fact, the effect of green tea is far more than our familiar deoiling and refreshing breath. It also has good anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects. Among them, tea polyphenols in green tea play a key role. But you know what? Although tea polyphenols have antioxidant capacity, they are particularly "delicate", and the most obvious performance is that they can't help being exposed to the sun. Because tea polyphenols are particularly sensitive to oxygen and light, as long as green tea is exposed to air or sunlight, the tea polyphenols in it will be quickly lost. Therefore, if you want to make full use of the antioxidant effect of green tea, you must drink sealed, dark and refrigerated tea. In this way, if it is too much trouble to seal and avoid light every time, the tea leaves in multiple sealed packages and disposable pouches are more suitable for "lazy people".

4. tomatoes

There is a joke that tomatoes are red and doctors are green. Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it tells the fact that tomatoes can really enhance the body's resistance, anti-aging, anti-oxidation, and especially keep women young. This is mainly because lycopene in tomatoes also has antioxidant capacity. This is supported by clinical data: a study of more than 47,000 men by Harvard Medical School in the United States shows that men who eat ketchup or other cooked tomatoes twice a week are 20% less likely to develop prostate cancer than men who eat less than twice.

It should be noted that lycopene is a fat-soluble carotenoid, so the effect of eating it raw is much lower than that of eating tomatoes with other seasonings after cooking. No wonder so many people like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

5. Grapes

The antioxidant capacity of grapes and wine is mainly reflected in the anthocyanins in grape seeds. This substance has a strong antioxidant capacity, which is 20 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E. The antioxidant capacity of red wine made from grapes is further improved through fermentation. Therefore, drinking a glass of wine before going to bed is not only good for the quality of sleep, but more importantly, it can prevent the body from aging and keep young. But for people who eat grapes, they will fall into a "dilemma". Most of us spit out grape seeds when we eat grapes, but we don't know that the spit grape seeds are valuable substances for anti-oxidation and anti-aging. But if we chew grape seeds carefully when eating grapes, the strange taste will probably be unacceptable to many people.

Generally speaking, different foods have different nourishing effects on people's bodies after eating, while women's health care generally focuses on anti-aging and beauty beauty. Therefore, the foods mentioned above, such as grapes, tomatoes and green tea, are all foods that female health care workers can often eat.

Beauty beauty method

1, often drink warm lemonade.

Drink a large glass of warm lemonade after getting up every morning. Lemonade can not only replenish water, but also start the purification process of the body, dissolve excess fat, remove wastes and toxins from various organs in the body, purify blood, improve blood quality, promote metabolism, clean and repair the whole digestion and absorption system, enhance digestion ability and adjust absorption balance.

Always drink warm lemonade.

2. Squeeze the tiger's mouth and defecate smoothly.

"Tiger's mouth" refers to the part between the thumb and forefinger of the back of the hand, with Hegu point in the middle. When going to the toilet, you can cross the sides of the tiger's mouth, use your thumb on it, and gently press it from your wrist to the tiger's mouth along the edge of your index finger, 30 times on each side, alternating left and right. Because it is the route of Yangming's large intestine meridian, adhering to this habit is helpful to defecate smoothly.

Step 3 walk barefoot to delay aging

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in the twelve meridians of human body, there are sensitive areas related to human internal organs on the soles of feet. Walking barefoot can lead into the brain through meridians, coordinate the functions of system organs, strengthen the body, delay aging, prevent diseases, and be beneficial to detoxification.

4, massage lymph

Poor lymphatic circulation will affect the detoxification function of the body and easily cause toxin accumulation and edema in the body. Massage lymph before going to bed can guide the body to expel excess toxins and water, which can not only beauty beauty, but also accelerate the decomposition of fat, so that when you wake up, you will find that the edema is no longer there and your figure looks lighter. How to massage lymph? Lymphatic position is mainly concentrated in thigh groove and neck, which can be massaged for 3-5 minutes with certain intensity.

5, drink water to wash intestines

Keep the stool unobstructed. Drink at least 200 ml of water after getting up in the morning and do more activities, which can clean up the stomach, excrete urine and eliminate toxins. Using natural food instead of refined food, fresh fruit is a powerful purified food, and pineapple, papaya, kiwi fruit and pear are all good choices. In addition, eating more fiber-rich foods, such as brown rice, vegetables and fruits, can increase intestinal peristalsis and reduce constipation.

6, bathing detoxification is the most thorough

Soaking the whole body in hot water will keep you warm. At this time, the body temperature will rise obviously, and then sweat glands and pores will expand, and it is easy to discharge a lot of sweat stains. As we all know, sweating is a common way of detoxification, and toxins and garbage in the body will be excreted with sweat. So the blood is also filtered clean, which can enhance health and play a role in skin care. In addition, sebum and sweat will form a protective film on the skin to achieve the effect of locking water and avoid dry skin. Of course, compared with taking a bath, the effect of taking a shower is not so obvious, so I suggest taking a bath often if possible.
