In lifestyle and behavior, diet has the greatest impact on health.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and illness comes from the mouth, which shows that eating determines a person's health and longevity.
There are more and more sub-health, chronic diseases and tumors in modern people, and the biggest problem lies in incorrect diet.
With the development of science and technology, food is no longer provided to people according to seasons and regions.
All kinds of greenhouse vegetables and grafted exotic fruits not only bring us taste enjoyment, but also bring us health risks.
What's even more frightening is that in order to increase the yield, some people coated various expansion agents and ripening agents on fruits and vegetables, turning our intestines into chemical plants.
It is not easy for people not to get sick in such a diet environment.
These are objective dietary problems, which are hard to avoid.
But everyone's environment is the same. Why do some people live to be young and healthy in their eighties and nineties, and some people go to Elysium in their fifties and sixties?
Mainly related to personal eating habits.
So, how to eat is good for your health?
When it comes to eating, Japanese food is worth learning from.
Japanese people can live longer without exercise, which is mainly related to diet.
They eat all kinds of food every day, but in small quantities, they fry less and cook more.
Health is eaten. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you must first do the following four things:
First, eat less miscellaneous food.
The material basis of life is nutrients, and nutritional balance is the guarantee of health.
For everyone, there should be neither too little nor too much nutrients. Too little will cause malnutrition and affect survival; Too much will also damage health and accelerate death.
There are seven kinds of essential nutrients for human body, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, inorganic salts, vitamins, dietary fiber and water.
The seven nutrients are indispensable and cannot be substituted for each other.
When we choose ingredients, we can choose as many varieties as possible, and the quantity is small and miscellaneous.
For example, add some sweet potatoes, potatoes, millet, pumpkins and so on. When cooking, add pasta, corn, etc. Early, and take turns to choose every day to ensure that there are 4 kinds of whole grains a day.
You can burn eight-treasure porridge once a week, and all kinds of grains are balanced.
Ensure that there are animal proteins such as eggs, meat, fish, shrimp and seafood. In daily ingredients; There are plant proteins such as soybeans and bean products; Vegetables are best mixed with red, yellow, green, black, white and purple foods and eaten in turn; Plus fruit guaranteed every day.
According to nutritionists, it is best to eat more than 20 kinds of food every day.
Variety should be mixed, but the quantity must be controlled.
Simplicity, hunger and cold, is the secret of health care left by our ancestors. Unfortunately, many people can't resist the temptation of food.
Most chronic diseases are eaten, but dieting too much is not good for your health.
Second, drink more yogurt.
Intestinal age is put forward by medical biologists in recent years, which is a new concept to measure a person's intestinal and physical health. It is believed that the aging of human beings is first through the decrease of the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and the increase of harmful bacteria.
When the intestinal flora is out of balance, toxic substances in the body are discharged, the absorption of nutrients is reduced, the immune function is reduced, the activity of some reductases is reduced, the ability to decompose intestinal endotoxin and carcinogens is reduced, and harmful substances are accumulated, which affects and causes cell aging, physical exhaustion, and even diseases or cancers.
Some people used probiotics to treat intestinal dysfunction as anti-aging health care products, which is based on the principle that intestinal age determines aging.
Intestinal age can be achieved through a healthy diet, three meals a day and a combination of meat and vegetables.
In addition, drinking more yogurt contributes to intestinal health.
Protein in yogurt is decomposed into cheese, peptides and amino acids. It is easier to be digested and absorbed by the human body;
After fat decomposition, fatty acids are 2 ~ 3 times higher than raw milk, which is easier to be absorbed and utilized by human body.
Lactose is converted into lactic acid after fermentation, which can inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria in the intestine, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and body metabolism, promote the excretion of waste in the intestine and prevent constipation;
Lactic acid can also improve the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, iron and other elements, especially the absorption of calcium is almost 1 times that of fresh milk, which is very effective in preventing and treating senile osteoporosis and fractures.
Yogurt also has a certain anti-cancer effect. Dutch scientists have confirmed that women who insist on drinking 250 ml of yogurt every day are 50% less likely to develop breast cancer.
If you want to live a long life, the intestines are always smooth and the health of the intestines cannot be underestimated.
Third, chew slowly.
When eating, food enters the stomach. When the stomach is stimulated by filling and expanding, it will continuously transmit eating information to the brain. When the information reaches a certain level, the brain will send a signal to stop eating.
If you eat too fast, you have eaten more food. When the brain sends a signal to stop eating, people are full, and if you consume too many calories, it will lead to obesity.
Chewing slowly can make food fully chewed and ground in the mouth. Can reduce food intake, prevent obesity, and reduce the burden on the stomach.
In addition, the process of chewing slowly will produce a lot of saliva. In addition to digesting food, saliva has the following functions:
1. Saliva contains oxidase and peroxidase, which has a strong killing and neutralizing effect on aflatoxin, nitrosamine, tar, charred meat, copper pyroglutamine and other strong carcinogens.
2. There is lysozyme in saliva, which can inhibit bacterial reproduction and prevent bacteria from invading the human body.
Fourth, eat less processed food.
Raw food is generally bulky and prone to satiety. After the human body absorbs its essence, the residue will become dregs and be discharged from the body. This process is the normal operation of the spleen and stomach.
But now the food is processed, and it is easy for everyone to eat too much.
For example, the energy of a biscuit is several times higher than that of a rice ball with the same volume.
In addition, various so-called food additives will be added in the process of processing food, and these substances are basically chemicals from the laboratory, which can not be used by human cells after being ingested, thus increasing the burden on the spleen, stomach, liver and kidney.
If you encounter insufficient metabolism of the spleen and stomach, liver and kidney, it will be temporarily stored in the internal organs and become a foreign body that harms the body.
Including the popular whole grain flour, although it is only simple grinding, the whole grain is ground, and the most important dietary fiber in it disappears, leaving only a pile of starch, which is easy to cause blood sugar to rise.
Therefore, choosing raw food as much as possible and eating less processed food can effectively reduce the incidence of diseases.
What people are most afraid of is getting sick, especially cancer is daunting.
The word cancer has three mouths, indicating that eating can prevent diseases and also create diseases.
A healthy body begins with diet.
