Victims of “leftovers” and “health products”

  During family reunions at New Year’s Eve, the elderly often prepare all kinds of delicious food for their children to satisfy their cravings, and their children also bring back a variety of health care products to show their filial piety, but behind the seemingly joyful scenes there are many hidden dangers.  The elderly are the victims of “leftovers” and “health products” Let’s talk about the “leftovers” culture. Our parents’ generation experienced too much hardship and poverty, they were hungry, they were cold, they were “afraid of being poor and hungry”. People who have been hungry are afraid of being hungry again, so they have to have “excess” at every meal in order to be satisfied, and at the same time they can’t bear to throw away the leftovers, so there are always people like my aunt, who are eating the leftovers in silence. Modern diseases, malnutrition has almost disappeared, replaced by diseases of excess nutrition, so eat less, is not wasteful, is responsible for the body. Repeatedly hot dishes, long ago there is no nutrition, eaten, the stomach and intestines still need to digest, equivalent to the machine is idling, did not produce any effect. And leftovers after a long time, easy to produce harmful substances such as potassium sulfite, sodium hydrogen sulfide ammonia, which can damage the human digestive system. It leads to stomach acidity, stomach rise, dizziness, and in serious cases, nausea and diarrhea and other toxic phenomena.  For the health to eat health care products, but not eggs is a waste Let’s talk about the “health care culture”. Many health products, are used such as chemical extraction and other process technology, which itself is a great waste of food or herbs, is simply a waste.  Health is never about consuming beautifully packaged health products and trumped up supplements. The only real health benefits are natural food, peace of mind, and moderate exercise. Nowadays, there are a lot of false medical and pharmaceutical advertisements, most of which make health care products look good. And the pace of modern life is accelerating and stress is increasing. Many people feel that they are physically exhausted and in a sub-healthy state, and those false advertisements also stimulate their desire to buy and nourish their bodies by taking various kinds of supplements.  Although there are many folk misconceptions, but at the same time there is also great wisdom, people often say “eat well for breakfast, eat a full lunch, eat less for dinner” is a certain amount of truth. Whether it’s New Year’s Eve or the holidays, we should not ignore.  1, breakfast eat well: whether brain workers or manual workers, many important work to be carried out in the morning, the brain needs to consume a lot of energy, so you must eat well in the morning. The brain consumes glucose, wheat, cereals and other carbohydrate-based foods are broken down into glucose, which will be absorbed and used by the body, so 60%-70% of the breakfast should be carbohydrates.  A more recommended breakfast is a staple bread-based meal with fried eggs or a small glass of milk. Such a breakfast best meets the physiological needs of the human body. And our traditional breakfast, such as doughnuts, coke rings, fried liver, etc., are very unhealthy. Doughnuts such as fried food is a typical “junk food”, high calorie easily fat, repeated use of oil may also cause cancer.  2, lunch eat full: lunch is not so much, as long as the fruits and vegetables, meat, coarse and fine nutrition with reasonable, eat full.  3, dinner eat less: should follow the “four less”, that is, less salt, less oil, less fat, less spicy four basic principles. Do not ignore each meal, day by day, the impact is far-reaching. To protect health and prevent disease, we need to prevent small things, not trivial.  If we can do this “four less dinner”, it means that we are much farther away from a series of diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux and hemorrhoids.  At the same time, from the point of view of Chinese medicine, heavy, fatty, sweet and thick taste (refers to greasy, fine food) is the cause of dampness and cold, the opposite is the key to avoid internal injury to the spleen and stomach and dampness. So eat, rather small fresh, not heavy taste.
