One of the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine is the oil. For example, Chongqing hot pot, boiled fish, spicy hot, eating are not chattering vegetables, is the oil fishing vegetables. Almost all of the Sichuan cuisine, looking at the oil soaked. Then it is fried, do a green vegetables can not wait for the frying pan over a road.
But the overall image of Sichuan people, dry and lean, healthy and spiritual, rarely fat belly. This is a side of the water and soil to raise a side of people, hard to eat not fat. Reasons to say three:
First, the oil big slippery intestines.Sichuan cuisine in the oil, the vast majority of vegetable oil, only part of the hot pot butter, meat dishes have part of the animal oil. Cooking oil has a characteristic, a one-time eat more, the stomach and intestines absorb so much, more eat into the slippery bowel row. Therefore, long-term eat Sichuan cuisine, rarely suffer from constipation. According to say that eating so many chili peppers and so on will be on fire, will be constipated. But they will not, it is because of the more eaten oil slippery intestines, smooth it.
Second, the staple food is diluted.The main exogenous condition for people to gain weight is the long-term over-eating of staple foods. Carbohydrates are high in sugar, of which 76% rice, 72% corn, wheat flour 73%, that is, a catty of rice, 0.76 pounds of sugar.
Sichuan people eat unlike the north, onions dipped in sauce on the cake tube full. They do not eat, and not as chewy as the Cantonese. Sichuan people eat dishes, supplemented by staple food. Relatively speaking, the dishes eat more, the proportion of staple food seems small. This way to eat, the main food will not be too much, it is not easy to eat fat.
The third, hardworking and active.
Szechuan people are athletic, lively and active, rarely sit half a day without moving. Even if you play the game, it is also a flying color, all body is moving. A large amount of exercise, consumption is more, excess fat has not had time to store, it is consumed.
01, Sichuan people staple carbohydrate less
First of all, the diet structure is closely related to obesity.
The highest obesity index in the northern region, the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet structure is very high, and to fine pasta-based (such as noodles, steamed bread), non-coarse grains.
The Sichuanese diet, on the other hand, has a smaller proportion of carbohydrates and a wide range of ingredients, and is more heterogeneous.
Common carbohydrate-rich healthy foods include brown rice, grains, whole-wheat pasta, oats, beans, potatoes, and fruit.
Fine carbohydrates, on the other hand, are mainly sugar foods and fine flour foods that have been processed by modern industry.
Including white rice, white noodles, fine flour buns, white bread, cookies, cakes, candies, sugary drinks and so on.
They have a high glycemic index, which rapidly raises blood sugar in a short period of time and provides high calories, but the excess calories are stored as fat.
High intake of fine carbohydrates has become the culprit that drives people to obesity.
People in Sichuan are not as prone to obesity as those in noodle-loving regions because of the low carbohydrate content of their diet.
02, hot pot eating slow, easy to have a sense of satiety
Sichuan people often eat hot pot, and eat hot pot spend a long time.
While swinging a dragon's tongue while eating delicious food, casually eat 1-2 hours, slow eating hot pot actually increases the sense of satiety , the actual food eaten into the food is not as much as you think.
The risk of gaining weight for those who wolf down their food is more than 4 times that of those who chew slowly.
Researchers at Okayama University in Japan have confirmed through follow-up surveys that eating fast can lead to obesity, and the magnitude of their fattening is very significant.
Eating too fast has a greater impact on body weight than other eating habits, such as eating greasy and eating too much.
Experts suggest that in order to prevent middle-aged fat caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., young people should be timely to change the bad habits of eating fast.
Experts in the field of oral care and obesity treatment recommend that a mouthful of rice is best chewed 20 to 30 times.
So, when you eat, you can learn from the Sichuan people's "slow" Oh
03, hot pot selection of butter less harmful
Chongqing hot pot used in the butter is saturated fatty acids, is the most stable kind of fatty acids.
Eating hot pot is a long time, high temperature, repeated cooking process, only saturated fat can be stable in the process and not oxidation.
If you use vegetable oil, after a long time of cooking, in fact, it is the equivalent of gutter oil, the oil has been oxidized, eaten in the body will seriously affect the body metabolism, and will promote inflammation in the body, and a lot of obesity and inflammation related .
For oils, oxidized oils are far more harmful than saturated fats, and the body needs a certain percentage of saturated fats, almost as much as the body's natural percentage, which is 10%, but the body doesn't need oxidized fats.
And there are a lot of fat-soluble vitamins in natural butter that cost more.
If you're eating a butter hotpot, and the soup base is just for brushing the pan, and you're not taking in a lot of oil, it's definitely much better to have butter than vegetable oil!
And, usually cooking should also pay attention to, if it is with vegetable oil, do not repeat high temperature cooking for a long time, otherwise the oil in the pot oxidation, eat in is the most affect the health.
04, Szechuan heavy oil, but did not intake a lot of oil
Many people think that Szechuan food is very spicy, oil is also very heavy, that eating Szechuan food will eat all the oil into the stomach, in fact, this is not objective enough.
People think a lot of oil dishes, such as boiled pork, boiled fish, boiled beef, boiled bullfrog, etc., in fact, just visually look like a lot of oil.
What floats on the surface of these dishes is vegetable oil or soybean oil, which are refined by dozens of spices, and their main function is to enhance flavor, not to be eaten directly into the mouth.
Secondly, Sichuan cuisine also has many light dishes, and they are all home-cooked, mainly stewed, steamed, and stir-fried.
Like Kai Shui Bai Cai is a light-based famous Sichuan cuisine , the original department of Sichuan cuisine chef Huang Jinglin in the Qing dynasty royal kitchen when the creation, and later by the Sichuan cuisine master Luo Guorong to carry forward, become national feast on a fine .
These light dishes are a regular feature on the Sichuan table.
The main reason is to drink tea, there is morning tea, there is the morning to 10 o'clock in the middle of the tea, there is afternoon tea, afternoon tea, evening tea, stay up late with night tea. Street full of teahouses, tea house, tea shop, tea store, everywhere. Tea in Sichuan people's diet structure, occupies a very important position, rather than a day without food, not a tap without tea!
For reference!
Why do Sichuan people have a low obesity index?
1. Sichuan people have less carbohydrates in their staple food
Obesity is closely related to the diet structure. In the north, the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet structure is very high, and fine pasta is the mainstay, whereas in Sichuan people's diet, the proportion of carbohydrates is relatively small, and there is a wide range of ingredients, so they eat more varied food.
2. Hot pot eating slow, easy to have a sense of satiety
Sichuan people often eat hot pot, and eat hot pot to spend a long time, eat slowly will actually increase the sense of satiety, so actually eat into the food is not as much as you think.
3. Szechuan cuisine heavy oil, but not a lot of oil intake
Many people think that Szechuan cuisine is very spicy, oil is also very heavy, that eating Szechuan cuisine is to eat all the oil into the stomach, in fact, like boiled pork, boiled beef and other dishes, just visually looks like a lot of oil.
These dishes are floating on the surface of the soybean oil or vegetable oil, the main function is to enhance the flavor, and not be eaten directly into the mouth.
Most importantly, there are a lot of lighter dishes in Sichuan cuisine, and they're all homemade, with a focus on stewing, steaming, and stir-frying.
The original style of Sichuan cuisine was to have a variety of flavors, both healthy and original.
First, Sichuan people love spicy food is well known. Because Sichuan is located in the basin, the climate is humid, eating chili can dispel cold and damp, so chili has become an essential ingredient for Sichuan people. Eating chili peppers can accelerate blood circulation, enhance metabolism, and help the body burn more calories.
According to a study by Purdue University, people burn more calories and reduce their appetite after eating red chili peppers. But it's not that eating chili peppers as a way to lose weight, but rather that eating chili peppers can have a positive effect on weight management based on a healthy diet.
Second, the Sichuan people's skeleton is on the small side, so slight obesity is not too obvious. And people with bone structure are more likely to be visually obese.
Third, Sichuan cuisine in the have is not used to eat directly, as a daily seasoning, not directly so much oil into the stomach, naturally, will not be because of this and produce obesity.
Agree with the idea of less staple food. My family ate out of small bowls, and when I married into a central province, I was joked about the amount of food being fed to the cat straight away.
The good things in the world are not firm, the colorful clouds easily dispersed glass broken. Our life, there will always be such and such regrets appear, so that we regret, and would like to turn back the clock
Sichuan cuisine in our eyes, has always been heavy oil heavy spicy. See Sichuan dishes on the table, often a large pot with a lot of chili. Sichuan people can eat spicy, also love spicy, they like hot and oily food. This has something to do with the environment of the region they live in.
Look at the Sichuan cuisine in the Mao Blood Want, spicy fish head, hot pot and so on, the hot oil inside is really see people scared. But it is strange, why Sichuan people eat so much oil, but also eat so much spicy, Sichuan people rarely have fat, and Sichuan girls are very beautiful?
After searching for some answers, I finally understood.
Although Sichuan people love to eat heavy oil and spicy food, they actually eat less oil. In order to have a spicy flavor, often a dish inside the chili pepper is mostly, and the ingredients are less, a meal to eat down, although look at the dishes is a big pot, actually eat the dishes is very little.
And Sichuan people eat these heavy oil and spicy food, the main food to eat less. We all know that the elements that make people fat are simply carbohydrates and sugar, which are the two most likely to make people fat. Sichuan people eat less staple food, compared to other regions, people here prefer to eat sweet potato flour and things like that, so, the number of fat people in Sichuan is relatively small.
Sichuan people like to eat hot pot slowly, chewing and swallowing is the norm for them. This has the advantage that chewing slowly tends to make people feel full, so that their appetite decreases without them realizing it. So even if you eat hot pot, Sichuan people can grasp a degree, will not eat more, will not eat, naturally control the amount of food.
So cute, don't I deserve a spotlight
The oil is heavy and spicy, and it's just a matter of getting through it
Grains are better suited to the Chinese intestinal tract. The staple food of Sichuan people is rice. It used to be that rice was served with vegetables, but now that dishes are more plentiful, rice is always eaten. After a big fish and meat, or to eat some kimchi, Sichuan people with kimchi "shuttle rice", and rice is "cut oil". Sichuan people believe that medicine and food have the same origin, even if it is a peasant woman, but also know what dishes to clear the fire, which dishes have a tonic. Sichuan cuisine meals are cold dishes with wine, hot dishes with rice, soup gargle (restore the acid-base balance of the mouth). As for eating rice will be fat, is a foreigner research, can only refer to.
First of all, the oil used for stir-frying in Sichuan cuisine is vegetable oil, and the fat content is not high.
Secondly, there are many kinds of vegetables in Sichuan cuisine, and the proportion of meat is small (compared with the north-eastern cuisine, such as the north-western cuisine).
Third, Sichuan people do not eat a lot of food (still compared to the North), and eat less staple food (still compared to the North).
Finally, there is a theory that eating spicy food actually helps you lose weight because chili peppers are rich in vitamin C, which accelerates the body's digestion and absorption of ingested food. At the same time, it contains capsaicin that accelerates the breakdown of fat.
The oil used for stir-frying in Sichuan cuisine is vegetable oil, which is not high in fat. There are many types of vegetables in Sichuan cuisine, and the proportion of meat is small (compared with the Northeast cuisine, Northwest cuisine, and other northern cuisine). Sichuan people do not eat a lot of food (still and the northern people than), and eat less staple food (still and the north than). There is a saying that eating spicy food actually helps with weight loss because chili peppers are rich in vitamin C, which accelerates the body's digestion and absorption of ingested food. At the same time, it contains capsaicin that accelerates the breakdown of fat.
