Eating meat in cold weather is the most satisfying, but many people worry that eating meat will cause obesity, grade three and other problems. In fact, eating meat can keep you healthy as long as you follow the following principles.
1, eat less red meat
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) announced that red meat may increase the risk of cancer, and processed red meat products, such as bacon and sausages, are classified as a class of carcinogens.
Therefore, I suggest you eat more white meat, such as poultry and seafood. In addition to the above three kinds of meat, white meat such as duck meat and shrimp meat are suitable for nourishing the body in autumn.
It is best to control the intake of red meat such as pigs, cows and sheep within 50 grams every day, and eat less for the three high and obese people.
2. Vegetarian collocation
Vegetables contain more dietary fiber, which can enhance intestinal peristalsis, accelerate the metabolism and excretion of cholesterol in human body, and reduce the absorption of cholesterol by human body.
I suggest you eat meat with some green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, celery, Chinese cabbage, rape and so on. Onions can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, reduce blood viscosity, and should also be a frequent visitor at the table when eating meat.
3. Stewing is the healthiest way to eat.
When the weather is cold, I always want to eat hot pot and barbecue, but these eating methods can only satisfy my temporary appetite and are very unfavorable to my health.
The best way to eat is to stew or boil. Reasonable cooking will not only increase the amount of fat, but also make the meat oily and reduce the intake of fat.
As the saying goes, "tonic in autumn, hunting tigers in the coming year", have you learned the correct way to eat meat in autumn and winter?
