When it comes to eating, it comes to the pride of our countrymen, it is estimated that if you get a foodie enrollment, you can have about 700 or 800 million people. But about eating, you want to estimate a little simple. Do you eat healthy? Many people’s first impression is that we eat well enough. Many friends, went to Europe, went to the United States, went to Fiji went to Southeast Asia, went to the beautiful Maldives, came back to marvel at the culture and beauty at the same time, always forget to add a sentence: where all good, is to miss our Chinese food. How good is Chinese food? Do not answer this question first, first look at, for example, small dumplings, back to the pot meat, fish and meat, Buddha jumped over the wall, Peking duck, hemp small …… here do not do details, the rest of your own brain. You have never thought about the question, you eat healthy? First of all, the dietary structure, we talk about staple foods, southerners eat rice, northerners eat noodles, this is our basic national conditions, in many people’s concept, do not eat rice or do not eat noodles or steamed bread, is not to eat a complete meal. But whether it is rice or steamed bread noodles, the main ingredient is starch, eat more, easy to fat ah, fat ah. Then look at the meat to eat, we have never been a meat-eating people, that is to say, can eat enough meat, but also the last 20 years ago. What kind of meat do we eat? Look at the picture below, it is clear. Tell us the difference between pork and beef, pork has 4 times more cholesterol than beef, 4 times more. What about cooking methods? Stir fry, deep fry, braised, marinated, grilled …… thick and heavy so as to excite our taste buds. Say a little blow to the pride of food, vegetable oil at high temperatures will produce a chemical substance – “aldehyde”, aldehyde is one of the factors causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, cancer. Eaters, heart a little panic, right? Then how to eat healthy na? The world’s diets are varied, countless, I’m here to single out a very representative of health diet – Mediterranean diet, the Mediterranean is at the junction of Asia, Europe and Africa, deep history, pleasant climate, beautiful environment, rich in produce. Mediterranean countries mainly refers to Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Israel, Egypt and other countries, these countries due to the climate and produce similar, diet also has a lot in common. The key is that people in these areas of cardiovascular disease, nausea tumor incidence rate is far lower than elsewhere, the per capita life expectancy is also in the world’s leading level, the survey found that all of this, and eat have a close relationship. Today I will introduce you to the Mediterranean diet, small partners to learn up. Mediterranean diet pyramid (the more the top is less to eat) Mediterranean diet features: 1, less red meat, only a few times a month to eat red meat, and each time to control the amount of intake, the less the better. Students who like to eat Shanghai red meat, control your mouth oh. 2, fruits and vegetables: the benefits of fruits and vegetables need not be said, they are the body’s main source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, folic acid, the most important function of these nutrients is to reduce the incidence of heart disease and various cancers. The Mediterranean region is rich in grapes and citrus, which are rich in resveratrol and orange peel glycosides, which can inhibit blood clots and achieve cardiovascular protection, as well as anti-cancer properties. The Mediterranean coast countries inherently different dietary structure, but there is a vegetable is the recipe of each country will not be missing, that is, tomatoes. Nutritionists on the tomato research significant discovery is that tomatoes are rich in lycopene. With lycopene, tomatoes have the same function as olive oil, i.e., inhibit the oxidation of cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Another remarkable feature of lycopene is anti-cancer, especially effective in the prevention of stomach cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer. 3, garlic The most significant benefit of garlic is that it can lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and blood viscosity. And high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood viscosity is the three main culprits of heart disease. Studies have proved that regular consumption of garlic on the chances of reducing the incidence of high blood pressure in more than 1/3. So, the south of the children’s shoes, coffee is good, but also do not exclude garlic Oh. 4, noodles and bread Noodles and bread are mainly composed of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates do not provide the body with more nutrients, but it is digested and converted into sugar, injecting energy for the normal operation of this machine of the body. In typical Mediterranean recipes, pasta is usually just an appetizer and a starter, not eaten as a main course, and sandwiches are rarely eaten, so in reality, pasta in the Mediterranean Diet is not terrible, and by eating pasta according to traditional Mediterranean recipes, people can ensure that their bodies are getting enough “fuel” without putting on weight. My first breakfast in Israel, was a variety of bread and cheese to catch the eye. 5, olive oil Olive oil contains unsaturated fatty acids can help reduce cholesterol levels. Cholesterol can easily be deposited in the arteries, causing hardening and clogging of the arteries. Another benefit of olive oil is that it thins the blood, which helps to prevent the formation of tiny blood clots, thus preventing heart diseases such as myocardial infarction. 6, fish Mediterranean waters are rich in sardines, sardine meat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce blood viscosity and blood pressure, to maintain a normal heart rhythm, and improve the level of beneficial HDL cholesterol. Scientific studies have found that if the human body consumes more Omega-3 fatty acids, it can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and prevent sudden death caused by cardiac arrest, and also has a good control on the occurrence of arthritis, depression and other diseases. We buy sardines in the country may not be so convenient, but, yellowtail, scallops, salmon, cod, are good alternatives Oh. 7, beans beans can be slow, smooth release of sugar into the blood, as long as the daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein, you can reduce blood cholesterol and other harmful lipids such as triglycerides, if coupled with a low cholesterol and low saturated fat diet, you can reduce the incidence of heart disease. Soy protein on cancer, kidney disease and diabetes treatment is also helpful; research has proved that soy products contain soy isoflavones for women’s tumors (breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, etc.) has a preventive effect, rest assured that eat it (ventilated and nephritis patients eat with caution). 8, red wine moderate drinking red wine on the body is also beneficial to drink red wine no more than 1 cup per day, and drinking alcohol to maintain a happy, open-minded mood; spelling to stomach bleeding, not only damage to the body, but also, look very ugly Oh. 9, daily exercise How can a healthy body leave the movement ah, planning a good exercise program and exercise intensity, the rest of the things is to stick to it. Long-term exercise is not only to prevent disease, and good body, good mood, will be younger than the same age, more confident, do not believe you try. Well hungry goods, up knowledge it, from today onwards, change your dietary structure and lifestyle, do a cultured and connotation of the foodie it.
