So what does a low-carbohydrate diet mainly mean?
The so-called low-carbon water diet mainly refers to strictly controlling the intake of carbohydrates every day, but at the same time increasing the protein needed by the human body. Moreover, the intake of carbohydrates in human body should not exceed 20g every day, and the whole process must be kept for about half a month. Many people think this way of keeping in good health is very healthy. However, according to a foreign study, if we control the intake of carbohydrates in order to lose weight, it will have a great impact on people's life span and shorten it. This regimen is not advisable.
Why does low carbohydrate shorten people's life span?
Carbohydrate is one of the essential nutrients for human body. Therefore, if we insist on a low-carbohydrate diet for a long time, it will not only lead to insufficient energy sources in the human body, but also affect the normal operation of the human body.
Moreover, if carbohydrate intake is not enough, it will not only damage human red blood cells, but also easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is very unfavorable to health.
According to related research, carbohydrates account for about 55% of everyone's main energy source in a day. Therefore, if the intake of carbohydrates is insufficient for a long time, the mortality rate of the human body will increase.
Moreover, in a foreign study, adopting a low "carbohydrate diet" will lead to a corresponding decrease in the intake of other food types, such as vegetables and fruits that provide vitamins and trace elements for the human body, and if the intake of protein is greatly increased, it will accelerate human aging and increase the risk of death.
Similarly, people who adhere to a high-carbohydrate diet for a long time will also have an adverse impact on life expectancy.
How can I eat healthily?
First of all, we should insist on taking an appropriate amount of carbohydrates every day to provide energy for the body. Of course, we should also pay attention to supplement other nutrients needed by the human body, such as vitamins, protein and minerals. So everyone can eat more beef, eggs, vegetables, fruits and so on. And balanced nutrition.
Of course, other coarse grains can also be used instead of staple foods, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can not only help people control their weight, but also supplement the energy elements needed by the human body, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduce the burden on the digestive system, help people keep their weight within a normal range, and insist on doing certain exercises every day, such as aerobic exercise, running and playing Tai Ji Chuan. , help people's muscle growth and improve basal metabolic rate.
Besides, it is better to eat three meals a day on time. For example, some people think that they can skip dinner in order to lose weight. In fact, this is not correct. They can eat some foods with light taste at night and stay away from some foods with high fat, because if they are often on an empty stomach at night, gastric acid secretion will be normal, gastric mucosa will be damaged and some stomach diseases will be induced. Therefore, not eating dinner for a long time is not good for your health.
In a word, for everyone's health, we must pay attention to the method in diet. Taking a "low-carbohydrate diet" in order to lose weight is not good for people's lives. Everyone should develop healthy and correct eating habits and ensure adequate intake of nutrients every day. For example, we can replace the staple food with some foods high in dietary fiber and eat more vegetables and fruits. Besides, we should keep exercising and keep a healthy weight. Only in this way can we help people live longer and stay away from diseases.
