Health is golden, and longevity is bliss. Traditional Chinese medicine health care permeates our daily life. However, many people fall into the misunderstanding of health care while pursuing health care in their daily lives, and there is no way to raise them, so the results are minimal.
Myth 1: Drinking milk will increase cholesterol.
The consumption of milk in China is less than that in developed countries 1/3. Many people don't eat milk because they think that drinking milk will increase cholesterol. That was not the case. It is found that the cholesterol contained in milk is not high, and the orotic acid contained in milk also has the effect of inhibiting cholesterol. Medical research has confirmed that drinking milk can also help reduce coronary heart disease and treat hypertension. It is worth reminding that drinking milk on an empty stomach is not conducive to the absorption and utilization of nutrients; Drinking yogurt on an empty stomach will make it difficult for lactic acid bacteria to survive in gastric juice because the acidity in the stomach is too strong, which reduces the health care function of yogurt.
Myth 2: Pickled food is partial eclipse.
Pickled food is refreshing and appetizing, and it is a must-have dish for many families. However, pickled food contains more nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are two carcinogens. So eat less pickled food.
Myth 3: Soymilk does not need to be cooked.
Bean products should be eaten every day, which has many benefits. However, soybean milk must be cooked before drinking. Soybean milk is not cooked thoroughly, and the trypsin inhibitor contained in it is not destroyed, which not only makes soybean milk difficult to digest, but also causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Myth 4: think that the more fish you eat, the better.
Fish's fat contains unsaturated fatty acids, which has anti-atherosclerosis effect, so it is beneficial to prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, enhance memory, protect eyesight and eliminate inflammation. However, eating more fish is not the better. Fish fatty acids contain eicosapentaenoic acid, which can effectively inhibit platelet aggregation. Excessive consumption of fish for a long time can reduce platelet aggregation and cause various spontaneous bleeding, such as subcutaneous purpura and cerebral hemorrhage.
Myth 5: Make tea with boiling water.
Many people think that cold water can't make tea, but it doesn't mean that tea must be made with boiling water, because making tea with boiling water will destroy many nutrients in tea, and will also dissolve out too much tannic acid and aromatic substances, making tea bitter and reducing its nourishing and health-care functions. The water temperature of making tea is generally around 80℃, and it can be higher in winter.
Myth 6: Jealousy is a good thing.
Vinegar can stimulate appetite, stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen, and protect the absorption of vitamin C in vegetables. It also has a certain effect on lowering blood pressure and preventing influenza. So some people think that jealousy has many benefits, while excessive vinegar, and even some people simply drink vinegar. As we all know, excessive consumption of vinegar will burn esophagus, mucosa, spleen and stomach, soften bones, aggravate osteoporosis and lead to fractures.
Myth 7: Cooling quickly after heating.
On a hot summer day, some people come home from the high temperature environment, either immediately turn on the air conditioner to blow cold air, or immediately take a cold bath to cool off. In fact, these two cooling methods will make the pores of the whole body close quickly, but the heat is difficult to dissipate. At the same time, it will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to the rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, which will make people dizzy. So when you get home, take a rest, calm down and adjust yourself to the indoor temperature before washing.
Myth 8: Take a nap for a few hours.
Taking a long nap will make you feel worse after getting up. This is due to the excessive inhibition of the central nervous system of the brain, resulting in insufficient cerebral blood flow and slow metabolism in the body. It is generally appropriate to take a nap for about half an hour, not more than one hour at most.
Myth 9: Drink too much after you are thirsty.
Excessive sweating causes too much salt in the human body. At this time, drinking a lot will make the proportion of water and salt in the body unbalanced, leading to metabolic disorder, prone to gastrointestinal spasm, palpitation and shortness of breath and other symptoms. When you are thirsty in summer, drink half a cup of herbal tea or boiled water every time, and drink some more after a while to let your body slowly recover its moisture.
