1, the health misunderstanding of supermarket shopping
1, shelf life and shelf life are the same thing: in fact, shelf life and shelf life are not the same thing. "Shelf life" refers to the best edible period of food, but this does not mean that food will go bad and cannot be eaten after the expiration date. However, the "shelf life" is a hard rule, which refers to the final date when food can be eaten under the labeling conditions. After this time limit, the product will go bad and can no longer be eaten.
2. White rice is more suitable for women than black rice: black rice is rich in anthocyanins and chlorophyll, even more than berries, and it is a very good anti-aging and anti-cancer food. But also contains vitamin C and carotene that rice lacks, which is very beneficial to women's health and has a good effect of nourishing yin and enriching blood. It is a healthy choice to often replace white rice with black rice!
Sugar-free chocolate and dark chocolate are the same thing: dark chocolate refers to chocolate without milk or cream. Sugar-free chocolate is chocolate without sucrose, and maltitol is mostly used instead of sucrose. Sugar-free chocolate is not fat-free chocolate, so the calories are not lower than conventional chocolate, but it is very suitable for diabetics. Dark chocolate is suitable for weight control, but not for diabetics.
4, lactose intolerance, can not eat dairy products: even if lactose intolerance, you can eat dairy products! Yogurt is the best choice. Yogurt is more alkaline than milk, which is more conducive to cell health and will not bring lactose intolerance. It is especially recommended that you choose yogurt rich in BB- 12 Bifidobacterium, which has strong tolerance to gastric acid and bile salts and can improve intestinal vitality.
5. Is pasta particularly easy to make your body fat? Pasta itself is made of wheat, which is a low-calorie healthy food, and the high-calorie part is only in the sauce. Therefore, as long as a low-calorie healthy sauce is prepared, spaghetti will become delicious without getting fat. In addition, I especially remind you to choose high-quality pasta made of wheat and rye. The crude fiber can make you feel full and supplement you with vitamin A.
6. Is olive oil special for western food? Don't think that because most olive oil on the market is imported from Europe, it is not suitable for Chinese food. Olive oil can quickly absorb the fragrance of garlic, ginger and onion when cooking, and it is also very suitable for vinegar, especially vinegar made of glutinous rice. Like the West Lake vinegar fish, it is the best choice to mix Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar with olive oil.
The above are the health misunderstandings that are easy to occur when shopping in supermarkets. Experts suggest that there is a lot of knowledge in shopping in the supermarket, and housewives should know more about the correct way to shop in the supermarket, which will make your health better maintained. Mastering more modern health preserving methods can protect the health of the whole family.
2. How to buy ingredients safely?
Fruits and vegetables come in five colors. If you buy more than 5 colors in the fruit and vegetable area, it means that the nutritional index of your shopping cart has reached the standard. The research of Ohio State University shows that the colorful surfaces of vegetables and fruits contain strong anti-oxidation and disease resistance, which is mainly determined by phytochemicals such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, sulfides and various vitamins. It is suggested that there should be at least three kinds of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables and three kinds of non-seasonal frozen fruits and vegetables in the shopping cart. For example, spinach, a bunch of bananas, a purple cabbage, and some broccoli and carrots can be colorful and nutritious.
There are less than four ingredients in aisle food. The so-called "aisle food" is the food on the middle shelf of the supermarket, which is often the most conspicuous and common in the shopping cart, such as biscuits, bread, snacks, cereal and so on. There are many healthy varieties such as whole grains in these foods, but most of them contain various additives and preservatives more or less, so it is not advisable to eat more. A simple choice is to look at the food ingredient label carefully. Take biscuits as an example, only four ingredients (generally wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil and shortening) are definitely better than five, even more than 10, because the latter often has several additives and preservatives.
Buy only one dessert at a time. When shopping in the supermarket, you should try to eat less sweets, and it is stipulated that you can only buy one biscuit or ice cream at a time to meet the demand for sweets, so don't indulge in it. The results show that people who eat only one mouthful of sweets, such as apple pie or chocolate, get the same satisfaction as people who eat more sweets.
Carbohydrate food should choose 100% whole grain. This is probably the easiest dietary rule to follow and the most beneficial to health. The staple food is 100% whole grain (100% whole grain, not a food that claims to be whole grain with a little whole wheat flour and bran), such as whole wheat bread.
Only by choosing the right ingredients can we give full play to its nutritional and health care value. Therefore, friends who often go shopping in the supermarket should pay attention to the quality and composition of food when choosing food, and fully understand the common sense of healthy eating, so as to ensure that they choose healthy food.
