Eat well

The Chinese have paid attention to health preservation since ancient times.

As the end of the year approaches, the flavor of the new year makes the atmosphere of the new year even stronger. Some people indulge themselves and eat too much food that is bad for their health. Let’s discuss some food issues today

1. Don't eat breakfast if you want to lose weight? An Israeli study showed that omitting breakfast would change the expression of "biological clock genes", which would affect blood glucose and insulin levels after meals, affect metabolism, prone to good health, and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. The research paper was published in the latest issue of "Diabetes Care" magazine.

2. It is not ruled out that many Internet celebrity foods themselves are the products of the craftsmanship. Popular and innovative Internet celebrity foods. Consumers will raise their product expectations very high after a long queue. Excessive expectations often bring disappointment. Sometimes this disappointment is not about taste, but involves fatal Food safety issues.

Many Internet celebrities are now outside of supervision. Although many platforms have great responsibilities, consumers should not follow blindly. The supervision of Internet celebrity food is very important. With the continuous increase of innovative food, the management of such online celebrity products should also be considered.

3. Salted fish is included in the list of Category 1 carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. Wu Yongning, chief technical officer of the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center, said that to talk about efficacy by quantity is a hooliganism. Although salted fish is a first-level carcinogen, it is still a delicacy when people eat it frequently and the amount of food consumed each time is very limited. Therefore, eating salted fish cannot be simply equated with cancer.

4. A high-fat, high-sugar, and low-fiber diet produces a response to the immune system similar to that of dangerous bacteria.

What’s particularly disturbing is that these unhealthy diets seem to make the body’s defenses more “aggressive” in the long term.

"The innate immune system has a form of memory. After an infection, the body's defenses will remain in an alert state, so that it can respond to new'attacks' more quickly."

Specifically, unhealthy eating has changed the way genetic information is packaged.

And these long-term changes may be related to the development of diseases such as arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Unhealthy diet and too little exercise may play a decisive role in this.

5. A breakthrough research result of Chinese liquor "The first international detection and identification of the non-volatile lipopeptide compound in traditional Chinese liquor-lichenin" was published in "Major breakthrough in traditional Chinese liquor research" in early November 2017 Posted on.

Lichen is a non-volatile macromolecular lipopeptide compound with biological activity.

It is gradually interpreted as "Liquor has anti-virus and anti-cancer effects"...

Rumors should be refuted here. The lichenin found in liquor does not have the corresponding biological activity function as the liquor, nor can it be concluded that the active ingredients are found in liquor, so drinking is beneficial to health.

Alcohol is a first-class carcinogen. Research evidence has found that moderate drinking has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, but it is not recommended to drink for health. Drink moderately, 25 grams per day for men and 15 grams for women.

6. Eating more fiber is good. So the principle?

Fiber is found in plant-derived foods, and its cell walls are rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Most of these things are fibers that are insoluble in water. Fiber in the human gastrointestinal tract can absorb more water, increase the volume of feces, soften the texture, accelerate the peristalsis of the intestines, and reduce the occurrence of constipation. Fiber is not absorbed and decomposed by the body. But it can combine with cholesterol in the body and excrete the latter through the digestive system. In addition to insoluble fiber, there are some soluble fibers in the bran and fruits of some cereals. In the process of digestion, they can be transformed into a kind of gum. This gum not only binds to cholesterol, but also prevents fat and sugar from being absorbed by the body.

So it can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

In addition, most fiber cannot be digested after eating it. Therefore, they can be filled in the human gastrointestinal tract for a long period of time, making it difficult for people to feel hungry. This will reduce calorie intake and is also good for weight loss.

Vegetables are a major source of fiber, and some types of vegetables are particularly high in fiber, including leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage. Legumes such as lentils, dried peas, and soybeans are also good sources of fiber; many are also rich in protein.

Nuts and seed vegetables are also good choices. But pay attention to intake, they are relatively high in calories.

Fresh and dried fruits are also ways to consume fiber. Apples and pears eat more fiber with skins than those without skins. You can also choose raisins and prunes.

Hot cereals such as oatmeal and cold cereals such as bran can also provide a lot of fiber.

However, fast fiber intake is not appropriate, which can cause flatulence.

Therefore, let yourself be more particular about eating, so that the New Year will be healthier and happier.
