  Experts say that the body’s peak calcium excretion is 4 to 5 hours after the meal, dinner eaten too late, not only affect sleep, hoarding calories, and easy to cause urinary tract stones.

  The U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that, compared with green vegetables or carrots, black tea contains more antioxidants, which can effectively help you resist wrinkles and cancer. The latest Japanese study shows that people who drink more than two cups of black tea a day are 30% less likely to experience the flu virus than those who do not drink it. Tea with hot water will release more caffeine and tannins than tea with cold water, leading to periodic headaches, insomnia and other symptoms, while tea with cool boiling water can make the beneficial substances in the case of not being destroyed, slowly dissolved.

  Eat more oil is not good, but a little not eat more bad. Experts say that pumpkin, carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, so you can not eat too light, fried with oil is more beneficial to nutrient absorption. If pumpkin is used to cook porridge, then make sure there is oil in other dishes, so that they can meet in the gut.
  5, the juice of cold dishes used for dipping
  Many people go to restaurants like to order a plate of mixed vegetables or fruit and vegetable salad, think this can be supplemented with vitamins. In fact, the sauces in these dishes will instead bring a lot of heat to the otherwise healthy dishes. It is best to put the dressing in a small bowl and eat it with chopped vegetables for dipping, so that you need only 1/6 of the original sauce.
  6, eat some high fiber food before bed
  Dr. Judith MIT, USA? Waterman said, “Eat some low-calorie carbohydrate snacks, such as cereals, half an hour before bedtime to help you sleep.” Most people consume only half the amount of fiber (25 to 35 grams) that their bodies need each day, so it’s recommended to grab a last-minute supplement before bedtime.
  7, cold water to wash meat hot water to wash vegetables
  Many people wash meat before, like to take hot water soak for a while. I do not know, wash the meat with warm or hot water, not only easy to spoil, corruption, do out of the meat taste will also be affected. Most importantly, it will accelerate the loss of protein, amino acids and B vitamins in meat. In contrast, wash all kinds of fruits and vegetables with warm water is better.

  Weight control, for most people is a “constant battle”. Not long ago, researchers found that drinking two small glasses of water before meals can reduce hunger and food intake, more obvious than the effect of dieting to lose weight.
  Virginia Tech’s Brenda? David said, “Drinking water is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to control your weight.” People who drink water before meals can consume nearly 300 fewer calories a day. Mike, an obesity expert at the University of Glasgow in the United States? Professor Rien also pointed out that, in addition to drinking water, eat fruit, vegetables and cereal porridge before meals, also contains less calories, but also help to promote a sense of satiety.
  9, multivitamin meal after eating
  Experts say that life eat fine, will lose a lot of B vitamins; vegetables over-soaked, will soak away a lot of water-soluble vitamins; food left too long, or frying, baking and other cooking methods may reduce the vitamin content. At this point, a multivitamin supplement is like an “insurance policy”, and it is best to take it after meals.
  Folic acid, vitamin B, C and other water-soluble vitamins, if taken on an empty stomach before meals, are quickly absorbed through the stomach into the small intestine and excreted in the urine before they are fully utilized by the body. Vitamin A, D, E, K and other fat-soluble vitamins must be dissolved in fatty foods in order to be absorbed, such as taken on an empty stomach, most of them can not be absorbed.

  Many people will be careful to pick out the onion when eating vegetables, this is a big mistake. The most important thing is that you have to be careful to pick them out. Dr. Gerwig pointed out that onions contain a large number of heart-protective flavonoids, eat half a day raw, or drink the same amount of onion juice, can increase heart disease about 30% of the “good cholesterol”.
  Especially when eating less healthy foods like barbecue, the onion inside is like your “life saver”. Experts say that onions are really good for hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular patients, and they are best eaten raw and cold.
