In our daily life, we can easily find some people who are keen on keeping in good health. The purpose of keeping in good health is to keep healthy and live longer. In order to achieve this goal, many people are seriously cultivating various healthy habits, especially in diet. Many people have always adhered to the principle of "eat less and live more" for the sake of health.

Grandma Liu, who is 80 years old, is a very health-oriented person. She is in good health and has never had any serious illness. When people asked her what she thought was the most useful health secret, Aunt Liu said that it was very important to control the daily food intake. Today, we will analyze in detail the relationship between how much we eat and the length of life.

Aunt Liu, whom we mentioned earlier, said when sharing her health care experience with you that her grandmother used to be a centenarian. Her grandmother would control her satiety for about seven minutes every time she ate, and she would walk around the village every time she finished eating. Her grandmother once said: "A person's appetite for a lifetime is limited. If you want to live a long life, you must eat less. "

Aunt Liu's mother also keeps this habit and lives for a long time, so she firmly believes that controlling her appetite reasonably and avoiding overeating will make her live a long and healthy life. Aunt Liu's views coincide with those of many people. Not only do many old people think so, but many young people also begin to learn to adjust their bodies by controlling their diet.

Is it reasonable to say that "a person will eat a lot in his life"? Can eating less and controlling his diet really make people healthier and live longer? Today, we will analyze these statements from a scientific point of view to see if eating less can make people live longer, hoping to give us more inspiration and make our bodies healthier.

In order to prove that controlling food intake will affect life span, American researchers have done another ten-year experiment. The subjects of the experiment are 200 monkeys. They divided the monkeys into two groups. One group strictly controls the diet, and the other group strictly controls the diet, while ensuring that the movements of all monkeys are consistent with their living environment.

After ten years of observation, American researchers found that the death rate of monkeys who did not control their diet reached 50%, and some of the remaining monkeys were obese and overweight, and some even suffered from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension. In addition 100 monkeys whose diet was strictly controlled, only ten monkeys died, and the rest were healthy.

These researchers therefore conclude that eating less can greatly increase the probability of longevity. From a scientific point of view, this statement is also very reasonable. First of all, if people don't overeat and control their diet every day, the burden on the stomach will be reduced, and too much undigested food will not stay in the stomach, thus avoiding the possibility of toxins and carcinogens.

Secondly, a research report on vascular aging points out that by reasonably controlling diet and eating as little as possible, the human liver will produce a molecule called ketone group, which can help alleviate vascular aging. Healthy and energetic blood vessels, unobstructed intestines and stomach, and no pressure will naturally make people healthier and probably prolong their lives.

Not only that, controlling your food intake scientifically and reasonably is also conducive to shaping your body and avoiding overweight and obesity. Obese people can easily put pressure on their hearts because of the excessive accumulation of fat in their bodies. If they can control their weight, they will reduce heart disease and make their bodies healthier.

From the above, we know that "eating less" will bring many benefits to the body, so we should control our diet, not only to get the benefits brought by eating less, but also to avoid the harm brought by eating more. Let's analyze the harm of eating too much in detail to further prove the rationality of eating less and being healthier.

First of all, eating too much will seriously affect brain metabolism and easily lead to brain metabolic disorder. A scientific study found that after people eat too much, the number of a growth factor called "fibroblasts" in the brain will double. This growth factor will increase fat cells, easily lead to cerebral arteriosclerosis and brain tissue atrophy, and affect people's life span.

Secondly, frequent overeating or overeating will also damage human cells and cause premature aging. This is because when the human body eats too much food, the oxidase in the body will catalyze more active oxygen, which is harmful to the body, easy to damage human cells or cause various diseases, which will seriously accelerate human aging and affect life expectancy.

In addition, frequent satiety is easy to harm the kidney organs of the human body. This is because a large amount of diet will bring a great burden to the human urinary system. At this time, people's kidneys are also under great pressure. When the kidney is overwhelmed, it is easy to excrete more non-protein ammonia, which will lead to overdraft damage of the kidney and even serious renal failure, affecting people's lives.

Moreover, a recent scientific survey shows that people are prone to neurasthenia if they often overeat at at night. When people store too much food in their stomachs, other organs of the body are likely to be squeezed by their stomachs. At this time, our brain will receive excitement for a long time, which will easily lead to neurasthenia and affect people's mental health.

People who have overeating habits are also prone to various diseases, and pancreatitis is one of them. After overeating, the pancreas will accelerate the secretion of pancreatic juice to help our body digest food, which will not only bring great burden to the pancreas, but also easily lead to pancreatic edema and pancreatitis.

Often overeating or overeating will also increase people's chances of getting cancer, which has a great impact on people's life span. This is because if people eat too much, their ability to inhibit the activity of carcinogens in the human body will be greatly reduced. In the long run, it will bring more possibilities and opportunities for the formation and spread of cancer cells and affect people's lives and health.

Therefore, eating less has a positive impact on people's health and longevity, and we should actively control our diet in our daily life. Better help us harm our health, control our diet reasonably, and let us live longer. Below, I will share with you some correct and reasonable diet control methods, so that we can really "eat as much as possible and live longer".

First of all, it must be clear that eating less does not mean eating too little. Eating too little can easily lead to malnutrition, decreased resistance and various diseases. There is a scientific definition of "eat less". Generally speaking, it is best to eat until you are about seven minutes full. At this time, people will not decide or feel very supportive, and their physical burden is small.

If the seven-point fullness is measured by the feeling of people, it means that the stomach is not full at this time, but the desire to eat has dropped significantly and the speed of eating has begun to slow down. At this time, we can stop eating. Scientific research shows that eating seven points full often can help our body reverse more than half of the aging cells. (Paper Source: "Seven-point satiety" can reverse 1/2 or more aging cells [J]. China Community Physician.2020 (18))

Secondly, eating less is not only telling us to control our food intake, but also to control our calorie intake. When eating, you can choose to drink soup first, then eat vegetables and other dishes, and finally eat some meat and staple food, so that low-calorie food can occupy a certain space in the stomach first, which can control calories well.

Besides, when eating, we should cultivate a healthy habit, try to avoid gorging, and it is best to chew slowly, which will not only help our bodies digest food better, but also increase satiety and avoid overeating. Add a burden to the body.

Also note that you should not be too rigid when eating. When our body consumes too much energy or has obvious hunger, we can eat less and eat more meals. On the one hand, it can replenish energy, on the other hand, it can also avoid excessive gastric acid secretion and affect gastrointestinal health.

Finally, although we advocate eating less, it doesn't mean that our bodies should consume less of any necessary nutrients. When eating, we should also pay attention to nutrition collocation, supplement protein by eating milk and eggs, and supplement vitamins and various trace elements by eating fruits and vegetables.

To sum up, "eat less and live longer" has certain scientific truth, and developing the habit of eating less can also help our health. Whether old or young, we should avoid overeating, control our diet reasonably, and strive to keep every meal at about seven points full.

Moreover, we should have a more scientific and correct understanding of "eat less and live longer". Eating less does not mean not eating or eating too little, it will only bring more harm to the body. It is necessary to eat less and eat more reasonably, pay attention to balanced nutrition and maintain healthy eating habits. Only in this way can we live longer.
