You can't resist the temptation of snacks, but you want to keep fit and worry that snacks will affect the absorption of nutrients, so eating snacks has become your psychological burden. What should you do? In fact, the habit of eating snacks need not be changed. The key is to choose food that can keep your mouth busy without gaining weight, and learn to eat snacks reasonably, which can even make up for the lack of nutrition at dinner. However, you should pay attention to the following myths about snacks: Myth 1: Jelly is a nutritious snack. Eating more jelly can not only supplement nutrition, but even hinder the absorption of some nutrients. At present, the jelly-based three ingredients sold in the market are carrageenan, a carbohydrate that the human body can't absorb, and basically contains no juice. Its sweetness comes from refined sugar and its fragrance comes from artificial essence. But there is no fat in jelly, and it contains some "water-soluble dietary fiber". Eating a small amount won't hurt you or make you fat. However, you can't expect to use it to "increase nutrition". Myth 2: Eating preserved fruit and candied fruit can replace fresh fruit. In the processing of these foods, the vitamin C contained in fish and fruits is basically completely destroyed, and the purity of white sugar used in the processing can reach 99. More than 9%, so pure sugar has almost no other nutrition except a lot of heat energy, and eating such polysaccharide will also lead to the lack of vitamin B and some trace elements. In addition, some preserved fruits and other foods may also contain preservatives, which will affect health if eaten frequently. Myth 3: It is safer to eat foods with more salt than candied fruit, such as plums. Snacks such as preserved plum and preserved plum contain too much salt. If you eat a lot of salt for a long time, it will induce high blood pressure. In addition, it is not advisable to eat plum all the time. Myth 4 Nuts are rich in nutrition, so you can eat more supplementary nutrition. Nuts are really nutritious and can be said to be the first choice among snacks. But the fat content in nuts is too high and the heat energy is also high. For example, 50 grams of melon seeds contain the same heat as a bowl and a half of rice! If you eat too much, you are in danger of getting fat. Myth 5: The fat content of dried fish and meat will be lower than that of fresh meat, so don't worry about eating too much. Dried fish and dried meat are dry foods with low water content and concentrated nutrients, which are good foods to supplement protein. But at the same time, dried meat is also a kind of high-calorie food, which is no different from eating a lot of meat, especially dried meat with delicious taste, soft and juicy texture and higher fat content. Eating a lot of dried meat and dried fish is not only bad for losing weight, but also may lead to the formation of carcinogens and threaten your health once the protein contained in it exceeds the human body's utilization capacity.
