Artificial sweeteners can aggravate metabolic diseases.

Artificial sweeteners are usually regarded as a means to fight obesity and diabetes. For example, xylitol is an artificial sweetener, and its sweetness is 0.65~0.9 times that of sucrose. It does not need insulin to metabolize in the human body, and it will not raise blood sugar if eaten. But it may have caused the global spread of these diseases to some extent. A study published in Nature shows for the first time that sweeteners may aggravate metabolic diseases through "intestinal flora".

2. "Foreign fast food" affects brain cognition and memory.

People all know that eating junk food for a long time is harmful to health. Last year, a new study by the University of New South Wales in Australia found that after eating junk food for a week, memory will be damaged. This new study, completed by Dr Margaret Morris, a professor of pharmacology, and her colleagues, found that eating foods containing a lot of saturated fat and sugar has a direct adverse effect on the cognitive ability of the brain.

In turn, memory damage is caused, and inflammation in the hippocampus, which is responsible for learning and memory, is significantly increased. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Laboratory also showed that the hypothalamus of experimental animals would be damaged after eating a high-fat diet.

3. Cocoa beans can improve memory

Cocoa bean (cocoa bean), also known as "cocoa seed", is the fruit of an evergreen tree in Uterus, the flat seed of an oblong nut, and contains 53% ~ 58% oil. The squeezed cocoa butter has unique fragrance and melting performance.

This tree was introduced to China in 1922. It can grow happily on the gentle slope formed by warm and humid climate and alluvial soil rich in organic matter, but it is not suitable for growing on poorly drained and heavy clay or places frequently hit by typhoons.

4. Probiotics can prevent food allergies.

Probiotics are a kind of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host by changing the flora composition of a certain part of the host through colonization in the human body. By regulating the immune function of the host mucosa and system or by regulating the balance of intestinal flora, nutrient absorption can be promoted and intestinal health can be maintained, thus producing a single microorganism or mixed microorganism with clear composition beneficial to health.

5. A high-fat diet will affect the biological clock, leading to obesity and metabolic diseases.

High-fat food refers to foods with high fat content. Specifically, the components of oil are various saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, such as high-oil and fried foods, walnuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, fried foods, fat meat, animal offal, cream products and so on.

Long-term consumption of high-fat "junk food" may induce many chronic diseases. If you want to control the body fat, you can "eat" the body fat with some foods with lipid-lowering effect.
