Sweet, sour, bitter and salty, which taste is the best for health?
A friend said that life is a "full banquet", in which you can experience different tastes. Only when you have tasted the ups and downs, can you really have an epiphany. Which flavor do you prefer in life?

China has a vast territory and rich natural resources, and the tastes and dishes of different regions and nationalities are also different. But in general, they can't do without the above five words. These flavors are matched together and processed by chefs to become "works of art" on the table!

Taste seems to be a personal hobby, but if you are too partial to a certain taste, it may steal your health quietly!

1, sweet: sweet food is the favorite of many fairies and children, and sometimes they feel depressed. Eating a dessert can quickly relieve them, because sweets can promote the secretion of dopamine in the body. However, if you love sweets too much and eat a lot of foods containing "sugar", it will not only induce obesity, but also hide a bigger health crisis, such as metabolic diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia, which are all related to excessive sugar intake!

2, acidophilic: sour food can promote the secretion of saliva and gastric acid, which has the effect of stimulating appetite and helping digestion. However, if you eat a lot of sour food, it will affect gastrointestinal health, promote gastric acid secretion, and easily induce gastric ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux, esophagitis and many other problems.

3, spicy: the diet of contemporary young people can be described as spicy. Pepper contains capsaicin, vitamin C and other ingredients. Eating some pepper properly can maintain the stomach and dispel the yin and cold. However, if gastritis, gastric ulcer, oral ulcer or esophageal diseases have occurred, eating a lot of spicy food will only aggravate the irritation to the mucosa and lead to further development of the disease. Even if the stomach is completely healthy, eating too much spicy food will cause congestion in the stomach and there is no place for digestion.

4, salty: high-salt diet not only includes adding a lot of salt when cooking, but also pickled food and processed meat contain too much salt. Salt itself is a highly permeable substance, which can cause damage to esophagus and gastric mucosa and induce various acute and chronic digestive system diseases. At the same time, salt will precipitate sodium ions in the body, causing problems such as water and sodium retention and elevated blood pressure, and may also cause damage to the kidneys, inducing hypertensive nephropathy, nephrotic hypertension and many other problems!

In that case, what is really suitable for people's tastes?

In fact, there are only four big characters: light and balanced!

It is not difficult to see from the above that no matter which flavor you prefer, it will have different effects on your body. Therefore, from the point of view of nutrition, we should choose steaming, cooking and other ways to keep the original flavor of food as much as possible, and avoid fine processing and adding a lot of condiments, which is beneficial to our health.

At the same time, keeping in good health is not to say goodbye to a certain food, but to balance the nutritional intake of three meals a day, including many essential ingredients for human body, such as high-quality protein poultry, eggs and milk, fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, coarse grains rich in dietary fiber, etc., which should appear in three meals. At the same time, in order to avoid eating too many calories, we should also calculate the food intake and total calories in a day!

As the saying goes, life is different, but in general, it's just ups and downs! But only when people are alive can they really taste the taste. Nothing is more important than health. And a healthy life begins with diet, so don't forget to love yourself at any time and stay away from the harm of unhealthy eating habits!
