Is it easy to gain weight by eating takeout often?
Now some young people prefer to stay at home, and take-out has become the first choice for many people to eat three meals. Take-away food is mostly high in oil, fat and salt, with less vegetables and more meat. Over time, the risk of getting fat is greatly increased.
Experts remind that stay away from obesity focuses on prevention.
Obesity has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a chronic metabolic disease, which can cause more than 50 diseases, including more than a dozen cancers. What is more alarming is that the number of obese people in China is increasing year by year.
In addition, eating takeout often will greatly increase your risk of exposure to harmful chemicals, which will lead to hormonal imbalance. Phthalate ester is a widely used plasticizer, which is often used in food packaging, adhesives, personal hygiene products and even floors. The study found that the blood phthalate content of people who ate out the day before was 35% higher than that of people who ate at home. Compared with people who eat at home, the level of this chemical in teenagers who often eat fast food out with friends is 55% higher. This chemical is related to fertility problems, including pregnancy complications and other health problems.
How to make up for the lack of nutrition by eating takeout often?
First of all, choose fast food takeaway varieties with rich ingredients, especially those with only starch and few fish, eggs, milk and vegetables;
Change varieties and tastes frequently, and don't eat a takeaway variety for a long time;
Share the take-away dishes in the restaurant with colleagues, friends and family, and try to make the dishes rich, the intake of protein is sufficient, and there are more varieties of vegetables;
Eat only one takeaway and fast food every day, and cook the other two meals by yourself, paying special attention to make up the food categories such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy nuts and so on that are not in the takeaway;
For example, eat oatmeal in the morning and miscellaneous grains porridge at night; Drink milk and soybean milk in the morning and eat a lot of green leafy vegetables at night. At the same time, pay attention to putting less salt in cooking at home to make up for the salty takeaway.
As a remedial measure, you can prepare some yogurt, nuts and fruits in your bag or office every day, which not only supplements the nutrition that takeaway can't provide, but also provides a certain sense of fullness and avoids hunger.
Proper use of multivitamin products, although not a substitute for a reasonable diet, can at least avoid obvious vitamin deficiency.
After all, someone else cooked the meal, no matter how delicious it is, it is just a takeaway, and the production process is out of my control. Only when you or people around you are full of delicious food made by emotions can delicious food flow into your heart and bring us health.
