Food makes people happy. "Humans should learn to appreciate every bite of food," said Leslie Bunsy, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "Food should make people happy. Even if you don't like food, learn to imagine its beautiful side. " Bunsy's breakfast usually starts with a cup of yogurt. Imagine yourself in an endless pasture surrounded by clear grass fragrance. If fruit is added to yogurt, think of lush fruit trees, golden papaya and red apples; Add some nuts and you will feel that you are in a lush forest. A lunch rich in high-quality protein is full of seafood such as fish, shrimp and scallops, which is like swimming in the sea. "So, eating is the same as kissing, so you should devote yourself wholeheartedly."
2. Don't deliberately buy low-fat food. "Fat is 50% less, and the price is several times higher", which is the low-fat food in the eyes of nutritionists. "Defatting" means that food has to go through more processing procedures, which is not conducive to your forming correct eating habits-you always think it doesn't matter to eat more calories. Barbara Ross, a professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, said, "I eat a chocolate after dinner every day. The key is to control yourself: one piece, only one piece. "
3. Drink wine. Drinking wine is the common hobby of these nutritionists. They prefer wine to beer or spirits. "Every dinner, I will drink a glass of white wine to make dinner more perfect." "If I eat out, I will drink two glasses of wine," said nutritionist Dr. Ellie Kraji, the host of the TV program "Healthy Appetite." Wine contains a lot of antioxidant substances such as resveratrol, which can not only increase the interest of dinner, but also protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, killing two birds with one stone.
4. Choose fish instead of beef and mutton. "Fish is the best choice when eating out." Lisa Young, an assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at new york University, believes that many people are too lazy to cook fish at home because it is difficult. So when eating out, Japanese sashimi, Chinese turtle soup, Thai curry fish and Spanish fish steak are all good choices. "For health reasons, I eat fish at least three times a week. Beef and mutton are not bad, but compared with fish, the nutrition is really not as good. "
5. Not afraid of carbohydrates. "Many people say that carbohydrates are the chief culprit of obesity, and I don't fully agree." Dawn Blattner, a nutritionist at the Northwest Health Research Center in Chicago, said: "French fries are unhealthy, but the problem is' frying' instead of' French fries'. It is best to choose carbohydrates that digest slowly, and it is no problem to eat sweet potato porridge for three meals. " On the contrary, those healthy "high protein and low carbohydrate" diets are not recognized by experts, and too much protein will increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not worth the loss.
6. Eat all kinds of vegetables. "Set a goal for yourself and eat all kinds of vegetables in the market within one month. This is actually not difficult to achieve. " Kathy McNuss of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston said: "A vegetable salad or vegetable soup will include at least 3-5 kinds of vegetables, while there are only 30-40 kinds of vegetables in each season."
7. Exercise almost every day. "Although I study nutrition, I know that in order to balance the food I eat, I have to exercise for at least one hour every day." Kathy McNuss said so, and other nutritionists agreed with her. Although they have different food preferences, their views on sports are the same-walking, jogging and swimming are the best sports, and everyone should participate.
