[Introduction] Diet is an important means to lose weight. It is necessary to distinguish which foods can be eaten more and which foods should be touched less or not. Let's tell you what foods should be eaten less in order to lose weight healthily. These foods are the chief culprit in your obesity!
With the improvement of living standards, modern people often eat a lot of fish and meat, and they usually have no time to exercise because they are busy with work, so obesity often comes to you. Obesity is often accompanied by many high-risk diseases, such as coronary heart disease and diabetes, and the probability of obesity-related diseases will increase, which is really a problem that cannot be ignored.
The following are some foods that we will come into contact with in our daily life. They are one of the main culprits of obesity, so remember, when we encounter such foods, we must eat them in moderation.
1, salt
Delicious dishes need to be seasoned with various sauces, but when using various sauces, they often contain a lot of salt. If you eat too much salt, your body has to keep more water to dilute the salt to balance the electrolyte and salt in your body. If you stop drinking water, the dilutable water in the body will be reduced, the salt will not be discharged, and the edema will not be improved, which will make people look sluggish and obese.
2. Too many carbohydrates
Your muscles store a carbohydrate called glycogen, which mainly exists in the liver and muscles, but the content is not high. It is usually regarded as a backup energy source and can be quickly decomposed and used when glucose supply is insufficient. Muscle glycogen can increase muscle endurance and prolong exercise time. When athletes run long-distance endurance races such as marathons, the sugar in their bodies can provide energy for about half an hour.
Therefore, if the amount of liver sugar in the human body is increased, it can theoretically promote the performance of endurance events. However, there is a price to pay for increasing the amount of liver sugar. It takes about three grams of water to store each gram of liver sugar. So, unless you are going to run a marathon tomorrow, you don't need all these energy reserves.
3. Too much raw food
For the health of modern people, lettuce salad or energetic diet has become a fashion. However, in addition to considering pesticide residues in raw vegetables, some studies have also found that half a bowl of cooked carrots and a bowl of raw carrots provide the same nutrients. So relatively speaking, eating cooked food is not so full.
In addition, because raw vegetables have not been softened by cooking, it is best for patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis and duodenal ulcer not to eat raw vegetables, so as to avoid gastrointestinal tract unbearable. We can replace raw food with cooked vegetables, a small amount of unsweetened dried fruits and canned fruits, which can not only provide nutrition for the body, but also save gastrointestinal space.
4. Food containing gas
Eating food that is easy to produce gas is easy to cause flatulence. Some foods tend to produce more gas in the stomach, such as pods, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, cabbage, onion, pepper, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapefruit and citrus.
5.chewing gum
You should be surprised that you breathe in air when you chew gum. Air enters your gastrointestinal tract, causing stress, swelling and protruding your lower abdomen.
6. Fried food
Foods rich in fat, especially all kinds of fried things, are digested very slowly, which will make your stomach uncomfortable and make you feel overweight and puffy. The difference between different oils lies in the proportion of fatty acids. Fatty acids can be divided into saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Full-fat milk, eggs, meat, cakes, snacks and other foods already contain more saturated fatty acids. It is suggested that vegetable oils containing monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids should be the main ones.
Although polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce bad cholesterol in the body, they can also reduce good cholesterol in the body. Compared with saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids not only reduce bad cholesterol, but also do not reduce good cholesterol in the body. Therefore, for patients with cardiovascular diseases or people with hyperlipidemia, we should choose oils with high monounsaturated fatty acids content.
7. Sugar alcohols
Xylitol or maltitol is a substitute for sugar and exists in many fruits and vegetables. It is often added to low-calorie or low-carbon foods, such as chewing gum, biscuits and energy bars. The calories are much smaller than glucose and white sugar, which is very popular among diabetics and obese people. But human gastrointestinal tract, like fiber, cannot absorb most of these nutrients. Sugar alcohol can produce gas, causing flatulence and diarrhea.
8. Spicy food
Foods flavored with sauces such as black pepper, cardamom, clove, Chili powder, hot sauce, onion, garlic, barbecue sauce, mustard, tomato sauce or vinegar may secrete gastric acid, leading to stomach inflammation. There is a mucus layer on the surface of the stomach, with gastric acid above and mucous membrane below. Those with normal mucus layer have little effect on eating spicy food occasionally; However, if you eat spicy food often, it is easy to destroy the mucus layer, damage the mucosa and cause inflammation or ulcer.
9, carbonated drinks
Where do you think these bubbles of carbonated drinks will eventually go? Carbon dioxide in carbonated drinks will be secreted by gastric juice, and hyperacidity will easily lead to bloating, loss of appetite and reduction of daily food intake.
10, beverage with high tannin content
The acidity of alcohol, coffee, tea, hot cocoa and acidic fruit juice is higher than the average level, which will cause gastric acid secretion, abdominal distension, slow intestinal peristalsis and constipation.
