Is metabolism fast or slow? In fact, it depends on your physical fitness and age. For young people, it's best to hurry up, while for old people, it's best to slow down. Capsaicin in pepper will be metabolized, which will accelerate the activity of body cells and burn fat. Although this effect is temporary, the study found that most people who often eat spicy food have a lower chance of getting fat. When eating spicy food, it is best to match some cold foods, such as duck, fish, bitter gourd and lotus root. , can clear away heat and promote fluid production, nourish yin and moisten dryness. Drink plenty of water or soup when eating spicy food. Chrysanthemum tea and sour plum soup are the best "fire extinguishers".
2. Whole grain food
Whole grain foods such as oats, brown rice and buckwheat are rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, which can effectively lower cholesterol, clean the stomach, regulate blood sugar and lose weight, and help the human body's metabolism to be at a normal level. In addition, this kind of food has less processing and richer nutrition, but its taste is average, so collocation is very important. Song Xinjian suggested adding brown rice when steaming rice, and adding a handful of oats when cooking rice porridge and beating soybean milk, which not only upgraded the nutrition, but also made the taste better.
Step 3: beans
The role of beans in metabolism is mainly manifested in five aspects. First of all, soybeans such as soybeans and black beans are one of the best sources of high-quality protein. Studies have shown that adequate intake of protein can improve human metabolism.
First, soybeans, black beans and other beans are also rich in lecithin, which is a "master" of decomposing oil and can promote fat absorption; Secondly, the resistant starch in miscellaneous beans can make people feel fuller, which is a good diet food for fat people with slow metabolism; Thirdly, beans also contain plant fat-linolenic acid, which is an important substance for human body to ensure normal lipid metabolism. Finally, the dietary fiber contained in beans can clean the intestines well. When cereals and soybeans are mixed, the utilization rate of protein can be increased to 73%, which is equivalent to that of meat and higher than that of protein.
4. Green tea
Catechins in green tea can prevent aging, and tea polyphenols can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve constipation, slow down body fat accumulation and help metabolism. Studies have shown that people who drink green tea three times a day or take green tea extract three times a day have faster metabolism than people who don't drink green tea.
5.seafood
Seafood such as fish and shrimp are high-quality protein, which can promote metabolism. It is also rich in zinc. Studies have found that zinc can affect the digestion and absorption of food and help to activate metabolism. Need to be reminded that it is best to eat fruit or drink tea after eating seafood 1 hour, because high protein will combine with tannic acid in fruit and tea to form tannic acid protein, which will hinder the absorption of protein. In addition, eating seafood can not be less vegetables, yam, lettuce and so on can maximize the preservation of nutrition.
6.garlic
Garlic is a magic weapon to promote human metabolism. It is a powerful antibacterial substance, which can activate cells, accelerate metabolism and relieve fatigue. Creatinine in garlic is also an important substance involved in muscle activity and contributes greatly to human metabolism. Garlic also contains antioxidants, which can also promote the normal metabolism of energy. In order to ensure the health function of garlic, it is best to follow the principle of "raw and uncooked, broken and not whole". Cold dishes mixed with raw garlic and mashed garlic are very healthy.
7. Macroalgae
The sea gives kelp rich iodine, which can promote the metabolism of triglycerides in human blood. Its dietary fiber is mainly water-soluble fiber, which is helpful to lower blood cholesterol and prevent chronic diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and stroke. In addition, kelp is also rich in colloid and minerals, which helps to regulate the physiological functions of the human body. It is a good helper for the smooth metabolism of human body. Kelp tastes good whether it is soup, fried or cold. Put a few drops of vinegar when cooking, which can not only flavor, but also benefit the absorption of calcium.
8.cauliflower
Broccoli is rich in vitamins, minerals, β -carotene and other basic nutrients, but also contains indole and glucose isothiocyanate, which helps to eliminate toxins, reduce the burden on the kidneys and promote metabolism. Professor Qi Cuihua, director of Shandong Nutrition Society, suggested that broccoli should be steamed to retain more nutrition.
9. Water
The digestion and absorption of food is a process of water decomposition, and other tissues of the human body cannot maintain normal metabolic function without water. Therefore, proper intake of water every day can keep the whole metabolic process smooth. After deducting the water absorbed by three meals, it is enough to drink 1500 ml water (equivalent to 6~8 cups) every day.
