Two misunderstandings of slimming in midsummer?
When summer comes, many people feel that they have no appetite and are too lazy to cook. However, nutrition experts point out that casual diet and monotonous food types are the important reasons that cause people's unbalanced nutrition and affect their physique. No matter how hot it is, it is still the weather that "eats". In this issue, Dr. Ying Feng from the Nutrition Department of East China Hospital will explain four common misunderstandings in summer nutrition and health care.

Myth 1: I just lost weight in summer.

Through forced slimming in summer, the weight lost by the human body is mainly water. In addition, many people have no appetite after summer. When they see delicious dishes after a few hungry meals, their bodies will have an instinctive demand for nutrition, but they can't help eating and drinking. Overeating can not only help to lose weight, but also do harm to health and easily induce digestive tract diseases.

Countermeasures:

Human intake must be nutritious, and the diet should be balanced in summer, so as to ensure the timely and quantitative intake of three meals a day. If you are too lazy to cook by yourself and go out to eat, you may wish to take in the necessary energy through dietary supplements. Among them, macro nutrients include protein powder, fish oil and so on. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals, and carbohydrates include maltodextrin. These dietary supplements can be supplemented appropriately according to economic income, disease situation and diet plan.

We should also pay attention to improving cooking methods. You can buy some semi-finished raw materials in the market, or blanch them, which is simple and light to prevent the loss of nutrients. However, it should be noted that beans, especially lentils and sword beans, must be cooked well before eating, otherwise it may lead to food poisoning.

Myth 2: Eating fruit can reduce weight.

Energy mainly comes from carbohydrates. Eating fruit does not lose weight because fruit contains a lot of carbohydrates, but eating meat properly is not easy to gain weight. The human body needs 80 grams of high-quality protein every day, and normal people generally take it from their diet. Among them, corn, rice and other cereals contain protein to varying degrees, but their quality is poor and they are not easy to be converted into energy. Soybean is the best plant protein, and animal protein is mainly meat and milk. Healthy people need to supplement high-quality protein every day, otherwise they will only eat fruit as a meal, and the amino acids in the human body will not be balanced, which will not only affect their physique, but also affect their weight.

Countermeasures:

If you use fruit to lose weight, it is recommended to add 2 cups of milk or eat eggs to ensure nutritional intake, and at the same time supplement vitamins to ensure a certain amount of carbohydrates such as rice and flour. Diabetic patients should be more cautious, because fructose contained in fruits is a relatively simple carbohydrate, which produces blood sugar quickly and may cause blood sugar fluctuation, so this weight loss method is best carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Watermelon, in particular, is especially sweet because of the lack of rain this year, and its sugar index is higher. Patients with poor glycemic index control should eat less, no more than 0.5 kg each time. If they particularly like to eat, they can take one tablet in different meals in the morning and afternoon.

The meat chosen by the elderly and children should be digestible: muscle fibers such as "legless" (aquatic products) and "two legs" (chicken) are thinner and easier to chew and absorb. In addition, don't blindly emphasize eating "white meat" instead of "red meat", because there are still many people with iron deficiency anemia. Lean meat contains a lot of hemoglobin, which can slow down the symptoms of anemia.
