The best fruit:

If you want to live a long life by eating, you should eat more of the above foods. In addition, a rule of longevity diet is very important: eat more raw things!
As far as vegetables are concerned, they are fried, roasted, slippery, stewed, fried and steamed. Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, cellulose, "indole" compounds with anticancer effect, and β -carotene will be lost to varying degrees due to high temperature, and some will even be destroyed. Many foods with comprehensive and balanced nutrition have lost their real value, which is not conducive to the human body to obtain balanced nutrition and may also lead to some nutritional diseases. Scientists also found that when people eat hot food, the number of white blood cells in the body increases rapidly, just like being in an "emergency readiness" state when encountering bacterial invasion. When it is clear that "invaders" are not "enemies", the number of white blood cells tends to be normal again. So day after day, the "play" will be played for too long, which will interfere with and destroy the adaptability of the immune system. Once you meet the real "invaders"-bacteria, viruses and cancer cells, you may be "insensitive", thus creating opportunities for disease invasion and cancer. However, the biological activity of lettuce is close to that of human body, and there is no such disadvantage after entering human body. Therefore, in recent years, nutritionists have repeatedly warned people to eat raw food as long as conditions permit.
Of course, we should also pay attention to hygiene. Take vegetables as an example. For raw vegetables, we should first choose non-toxic varieties, such as radish, cucumber, tomato, lotus root, onion, garlic and so on. Secondly, eat pollution-free vegetables and eat them raw. Be sure to wash it thoroughly and rinse it with cold boiled water before eating. Practice has proved that when some vegetables are eaten raw, if seasonings, such as vinegar and garlic, can be added, it not only ensures hygiene, but also tastes crisp and delicious.
There is also a rule of longevity diet: eat as much food as possible from distant relatives.
What is distant relative food?
The so-called "distant food" refers to food that is relatively far away from human beings in space and biological relationship. For example, fish, shrimp and crabs are of course farther away from humans than cattle, sheep and pigs; Plant food is far more than animal food; Wild food is far more than artificially grown food; There is far more food in the ocean than on land.
Here are some foods that are far away from people.
Mushrooms are fungi, which are closely related to human biology and are one of the most beneficial foods for human health. They contain protein, various amino acids, minerals and vitamins, and have obvious effects on enhancing human health. Moreover, mushrooms contain a kind of "B- glucose oxalic acid", which can enhance the anti-cancer function of human body and have a good effect on preventing and treating cancer.
Seabuckthorn is a kind of wild precious plant, which grows in cold and arid areas in northern China. Seabuckthorn fruit contains more than 200 bioactive components, especially vitamins, among which vitamin C ranks first among wild fruits. Seabuckthorn also has good medicinal value, such as relieving cough and resolving phlegm, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing heat and stopping diarrhea, tonifying kidney and strengthening spleen, etc. It is a good product for both medicine and food.
Spirulina is far away from human beings, and its nutrients are surprisingly high. According to the determination, protein and amino acids in spirulina are as high as 65%, which is more than 10 times that of fish. The content of chlorophyll in spirulina is more than 10 times that of vegetables. In addition, spirulina is rich in β-carotene, vitamin E, B vitamins and phycocyanin, and contains inorganic elements such as calcium, iodine, iron, zinc and selenium, which has a positive effect on improving immune function and prolonging cell life. No wonder some people call spirulina vegetables+minerals+vitamins.
In addition to the above-mentioned longevity diet rules, there are some matters that need attention, which we also need to know.
Nowadays, many people like to drink medicinal porridge in many health foods, but the elderly should drink porridge in moderation.
Why?
There are many dental diseases in the elderly and tooth defects are common. Some elderly people eat porridge for years because of their poor chewing function, and a few people who pay attention to medicinal diet regard porridge as an auxiliary treatment for diseases.
It is observed that the elderly who eat porridge for a long time are generally thinner because of their poor gastric motility. If they eat too much porridge, it is difficult to empty it quickly, and they will feel stomach upset. Compared with the same volume of rice, porridge contains much less rice grains. If you eat porridge for a long time, the total calories and nutrients you consume are not enough to meet the physiological needs of the human body, and it is inevitable that you can't make ends meet.
Traditionally, porridge is easy to digest. This sentence is debatable. Some people have studied the digestion and absorption of porridge, rice and steamed bread, and the results are as follows: the sugar absorption rate of porridge is 96.5%, that of rice is 99.5% and that of steamed bread is 99.9%; White matter absorption rate: porridge 56. 1%, rice 99.5%, steamed bread 99.9%.
Why is there such an unexpected result? Mainly because porridge does not need to be chewed slowly, and it can even be swallowed in one bite. You must chew when eating. Chewing not only needs to crush rice grains with teeth, but also can promote saliva secretion. Enzymes contained in saliva also have a preliminary digestion effect on starch.
Therefore, although eating porridge and taking medicine porridge is a way to keep fit, it is not suitable for everyone unless they are very weak or need medical treatment.
Finally, pay attention to "hair" and "taboo" in diet.
Chinese dietotherapy believes that although different foods have their edible value and nutritional function, their performance (bias) is different. However, if you don't understand the "hair" and don't pay attention to the "taboo" during taking Chinese medicine, improper diet may cause pathological changes and produce adverse reactions and side effects. Thereby aggravating the condition and causing serious consequences.
"synopsis of the golden chamber" points out that "the taste of food is suitable for illness and harmful to the body. If it is appropriate, it will benefit the body. If it is harmful, it will become a disease and cause danger. All diseases are difficult to treat. " It shows the relationship between inappropriate food and diseases.
"Hair" means that patients with certain diseases eat some inedible foods during this period, that is, foods that can induce diseases. Generally according to its performance can be divided into six categories:
One is fever, such as onion, ginger, pepper, mutton, dog meat and so on.
Second, things that cause wind, such as shrimp, crabs and buds;
The third is wet things, such as maltose, glutinous rice, fermented grains, rice wine and so on.
Fourth, things that accumulate cold, such as pears, persimmons and all kinds of cold products;
Fifth, things that stimulate blood, such as pepper and pepper;
Sixth, products that stagnate qi, such as potatoes, lotus seeds, gordon euryales and various bean products.
Taboos refer to some food taboos that can reduce the efficacy of drugs and cause side effects in order to ensure the curative effect of drugs, commonly known as "food taboos" or "taboos".
Diseases caused by "hair" are related to many factors such as people's physique, heredity, season, age, catching cold or getting angry after eating. If you are weak and afraid of cold, with thin stools, warm stomachache and cold limbs, then you should avoid cold foods such as watermelon, Sydney and banana. If you are flushed, thirsty, insomnia and bleeding from hemorrhoids recently, you should avoid hot foods such as ginger, pepper, liquor and garlic; People with urticaria, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, and acne may have all kinds of irritating foods, which need to be "taboo". Some asthma patients can eat freely at ordinary times, but when asthma attacks, high-protein foods such as eggs, milk, fish and shrimp have become the "hair" that aggravates the condition and should be "taboo".
Generally speaking, when taking drugs for febrile diseases, you should ban or eat less wine, spicy food, fish, meat and other foods. Because alcohol and spicy food are hot, they produce hot phlegm, which will aggravate the condition after eating. When taking exterior-relieving drugs and rash-penetrating drugs, it is advisable to eat less cold and sour food, because of its astringent effect, which can affect the efficacy of exterior-relieving drugs and rash-penetrating drugs; When taking warming drugs, you should drink less tea and eat less radish, because tea is cool and can reduce the effect of warming the spleen and stomach; When taking drugs for clearing heat, cooling blood and nourishing yin, spicy food should not be eaten. Spicy food is hot, and eating spicy food will aggravate the heat phenomenon and offset the effects of drugs (such as gypsum, honeysuckle, forsythia, gardenia, radix rehmanniae, peony bark, etc.) that clear heat and cool blood. ) and drugs for nourishing yin (such as Dendrobium, Radix Adenophorae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, Radix Scrophulariae, etc.). ); When taking tonic ginseng, radish should not be eaten. Radish has the functions of digestion, phlegm elimination and ventilation, and ginseng is a tonic, so that the effect is offset by one supplement and one elimination, which undoubtedly wastes ginseng, a valuable medicine.
During pregnancy, due to the needs of fetal growth and development, the body's yin blood is relatively insufficient, while the yang blood is high. Therefore, anything spicy and warm is not suitable for eating, which is called "prenatal cooling". Postpartum body is often in a state of deficiency and cold. At this time, all cold, sour, pungent and dry products should be "taboo", so it is called "postpartum warmth".
Eat Chinese medicine during illness, not tea. Tea juice contains tannic acid, which will react with protein, alkaloids or heavy metal salts in drugs to precipitate, which will affect the curative effect of drugs and even lead to drug failure. Tea contains caffeine, theophylline, theobromine and other ingredients, which has the functions of strengthening the heart, diuresis, stimulating gastric acid secretion and exciting higher nerve centers. Therefore, anemia patients should not drink tea before and after taking iron agents and sedative and hypnotic drugs, let alone take these drugs with tea.
