Six short-lived foods
Now everyone pays attention to health. Because life is good and diet is good, it is not necessarily good, but it is still light, so that you can live a long and healthy life. Some people have to eat food they shouldn't eat in order to stay healthy, but eating it will make you short-lived. Can you believe it? What kind of food do you have? Let's get to know them.
1, pig liver
Liver is the detoxification organ in animals, and it is also a common ingredient on our table. Few people will associate animal detoxification with pig liver, so naturally they will ignore the toxic substances contained in pig liver.
The liver is mainly responsible for discharging excess toxins from animals, and a large amount of toxins will remain in the liver over time. Long-term consumption of these foods containing toxins will have a certain negative impact on the body and increase the burden on its own detoxification system. Therefore, it is better to eat less pig liver.
2. Chili
Irritating condiments such as pepper, pepper and coriander will be digested, absorbed and excreted by the kidneys after entering the human body. These irritating condiments will damage the kidneys.
In addition, excessive pepper makes the gastrointestinal mucosa dry and ulcer, which disturbs the digestive function. However, adding a small amount of pepper to the diet can sweat, relieve exterior dampness and help the stomach secrete digestive juice.
3. Hami melon
Hami melon is a specialty of Xinjiang, but it is also common in various places in recent years. Its sweet and delicious taste has won the love of bad fans, but this does not mean that it is healthy and harmless. On the contrary, cantaloupe is a "high-incidence area" for bacterial growth, and long-term consumption is not good for your health. There are many cracks on the skin of cantaloupe, which is easy to breed bacteria. When the melon is cut, these bacteria will run into the pulp. It is conceivable that the melon pulp eaten in the stomach also contains bacteria.
4. orange
Orange juice has become an irreplaceable drink, but is orange good for your health? Bian Xiao told everyone that although oranges are delicious, their harm to the body cannot be ignored. Eating oranges in large quantities may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and even bone diseases.
In addition, relevant research data show that people who eat more than 100% of oranges or carotene will actually have dark yellow skin.
5. Spinach
Spinach has always been considered as a good nutrient and rich in nutrition, so we often eat spinach to supplement nutrition. However, spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, which will react with the iron contained in spinach itself, resulting in the iron contained in spinach itself not being absorbed by the human body.
I think everyone knows the importance of iron to human body. Once the human body is short of iron, the first symptom is iron deficiency anemia, which will bring a series of bad symptoms and then affect health.
6.hawthorn
The main reason why hawthorn is popular is its sour and sweet taste. Yes, the outermost layer of candied haws is made of a thick layer of syrup. After these syrups enter the body, they will be absorbed in the stomach and then reach the blood. The higher the sugar content in blood, the higher the blood concentration. The increase of blood concentration will increase the burden on blood vessel wall and heart, which will lead to a series of cardiovascular diseases.
