Many people who are afraid of the cold,

Especially the frail women and the elderly,

Everyone is thinking,

Can you eat something to warm up?

Who is particularly afraid of the cold?

Can the legendary warm-up food really warm up?

The sweet chocolate we usually eat contains about 55% sugar, 40% fat and 5% water, while the content in protein is only about 5%.

Why do you want to tell everyone the proportion of these ingredients?

Because when it comes to warming up, it depends on the food thermal effect of each ingredient. It doesn't matter what the specific meaning of this concept is, as long as you remember, the higher the thermal effect of food, the more suitable it is to warm your body.

Protein's thermal effect is 30%, while sugar and fat are only about 5%, which is a bit embarrassing.

In other words, most of the ingredients in chocolate can't heat up. Caffeine does slightly increase the basal metabolic rate, but the content of cocoa and caffeine in sweet chocolate is very small, and the preheating effect can be basically ignored.

This is even more embarrassing.

Ginger has little effect, and sugar has almost no function of warming the body, so when we cook two useless things together, the miracle does not happen, and the result is still useless.

Of course, a bowl of brown sugar and Jiang Shui can still warm hands.

Boiling water means: I can also warm my hands.

The food that is really suitable for warming up is here!

Protein has a high thermal effect, which can help the body to get hot after eating.

As for which foods are rich in protein, how to match them every day is better?

Protein is indeed added to the protein powder, which is also an option. But for some people, it is not the best choice. Because eating red meat such as beef and mutton directly can not only get a lot of high-quality protein, but also provide heme iron and saturated fat, which is a better choice for people who are afraid of cold due to anemia and low blood pressure.

(2) Dairy products

For people with calcium deficiency, dairy products also help to keep out the cold.

Eating some dairy products with high calcium content, such as hot milk, warm yogurt, cheese, etc., not only helps to warm up, but also helps to lose weight.

(3) Pepper and wine

Pepper and wine finally didn't let everyone down. They can effectively promote blood circulation and warm the body. The same effects are pepper, star anise, onion, ginger, garlic and the like.

However, drinking alcohol cannot be used as a long-term method to keep out the cold, because once the heat of alcohol passes and blood vessels contract, people will feel colder. Moreover, drinking too much wine will bring all kinds of bad health. Don't indulge yourself under the banner of keeping out the cold.

As a nutritionist, I just want to remind everyone that healthy food will always vary from person to person. Besides ensuring the supply of protein, exercise is an essential muscle building measure. Regular exercise in winter, with the improvement of nutrition, makes your muscles strong and forms a cold-resistant constitution, which is the best, most reliable and lasting warm-up measure!
