Compared with spicy hot pot in winter, many people are keen to eat "health hot pot" now: it's good to drink several bowls of hot pot soup before eating meat. In fact, this practice seems to be "nourishing", but it is not.

No matter what hot pot at the bottom of the pot, there is a considerable amount of fat and nitrite in the soup, which are all unfavorable factors for health.

In addition, when eating hot pot in spring, it is best to eat less red oil hot pot or spicy hot pot to avoid "adding fuel to the fire". The choice of the bottom of the pot is mainly light, and you can put some nourishing raw materials such as jujube, medlar, ginseng and gastrodia elata. Although it is spring, the chill still exists. You can put more ginger and a proper amount of pepper to warm up.

2, eating hot pot is the most taboo.

Spring is the season of high incidence of various viruses and bacteria. In addition to indigestion caused by half-cooked meat, bacteria and parasite eggs hidden in food will also be swallowed into the gastrointestinal tract with food, which will lead to diseases. Dirty pork slices and beef slices probably contain three kinds of parasites: Trichinella spiralis, tapeworms and cysticercosis.

When eating hot pot, you must cut the meat thin and hot. When you rinse pork slices and beef slices, you must rinse them before eating. At the same time, it depends on whether there are white and rice-like substances on the meat slices. If there is, it may be a cyst egg.

Try to eat more side dishes and less meat.

When eating hot pot, don't just eat meat without vegetables. "Vegetables are indispensable for eating hot pot in any season." Gao Shuqing said that the seasonal vegetable in spring is spinach, which has the functions of nourishing yin, moistening dryness, soothing the liver and nourishing blood, and has a good auxiliary treatment effect on hypertension, dizziness, diabetes and anemia caused by liver yin deficiency in spring.

In addition, you can put some tofu in moderation: tofu contains gypsum. Putting tofu into hot pot properly can not only supplement the intake of various trace elements, but also play the role of gypsum in clearing away heat and purging fire, removing annoyance and quenching thirst. You can also add some white lotus, which is not only rich in various nutrients, but also a good medicine for the human body. It is best not to discard lotus plumule when adding white lotus, because lotus plumule has the function of clearing heat and purging fire.

Remember to drink plenty of water after eating hot pot.

Because purine substances contained in animal viscera, meat, seafood and other ingredients can be fully dissolved in soup, excessive drinking of old soup can easily lead to purine deposition, which will be metabolized into uric acid by the liver, which will reduce renal function, hinder excretion and induce or aggravate gout.

So drink plenty of water when eating hot pot. Drinking water can increase the circulating blood volume, which is beneficial to nourishing the liver and excreting metabolic waste, and can reduce the damage of poisons to the liver.
