You should review the method of brushing your teeth. Finally, check your tongue. If it is dull, it may be anemia.
3. eyes. There are yellow spots on the eyeball (or yellow circles on the iris), which may be high cholesterol. If the whites of the eyes are yellow, check the liver function. If the lower eyelid turns white, it may be anemia.
4. Chest. If your chest looks taller than the other side, or one side protrudes than the other, it may be scoliosis.

8. Hands and nails. Redness of the palm may be erythema of the palm, which may be a symptom of liver disease. Changes in nails are also important. If the half-moon shape of the nail root changes, it may be iron deficiency. At the same time, pay attention to the horizontal lines on your nails, which may indicate that you have a chronic disease, while the vertical lines are normal. If your nails are sunken and look like the surface of orange peel, you may have psoriasis. If your nails are arched, you may have hyperthyroidism. If the nail arches and the skin under the nail turns yellow and green at the same time, it may be a fungal infection, commonly known as onychomycosis. Sometimes you will see white spots on your nails. Don't worry, it's probably the marks left by previous nail injuries, but it doesn't mean you lack nutrition. But if there are dark spots on the nails, it may be melanoma. Be sure to see a doctor.

2. What foods should not be eaten more?
1, grilled fish
Grilled fish is one of the most popular ways to eat in China. Senior nutrition caterer said that most of the grilled fish in restaurants are fried first and then fried. However, frying is the most serious damage to omega-3 fatty acids (an unsaturated fatty acid, which is beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health), and may also produce carcinogens in the process. Related research shows that eating fried fish and fried fish is not only harmful to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, but may even be harmful to health.
Health improvement method: nutritionists say that the really healthy grilled fish does not put cooking oil at all, but is wrapped in tin foil and baked in the oven. If there is no oven at home, you can cook steamed fish.
Step 2 stir-fry beans
Nutritionists point out that fried beans are one of the representative dishes of Sichuan cuisine, but the disadvantage is that they use too much oil. To cook this dish, you need to fry the bean skin with oil until it looks like "tiger skin". In addition to excessive calories and the loss of vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin C, it may also bring security risks. Because when fried, the beans may be burnt outside and tender inside, and they are not cooked thoroughly, and the cyanosides contained in them cannot be volatilized when cooked at high temperature, which may easily lead to food poisoning.
Health improvement method: the improvement method proposed by nutritionists is to remove gluten from beans, cut them into sections and drain them, and then put them in a microwave oven for 1~ 1.5 minutes. When they are taken out, the beans have the same effect as frying and stir-frying, then add a little oil and stir-fry with onion, Jiang Mo, minced meat, shrimp skin and mustard tuber until the juice is dry. In this way, dried stir-fried beans with less oil and more nutrition can be made.
3. Spicy shredded potatoes
Nutritionists say that when cooking spicy shredded potatoes, chefs usually cut potatoes into shreds, rinse the starch in them with water, control drying, then pour them into hot oil at 200℃ and fry them in base oil. After soaking potato chips in water, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients are largely lost, and after high-temperature frying, there are few nutrients left. Moreover, after frying, every shredded potato is covered with oil, and this dish becomes a hot "bomb". In addition, if the knives of potatoes rich in carbohydrates are too thin, a large amount of acrylamide will be produced when fried at high temperature, which is an internationally recognized carcinogen.
Health improvement method: nutritionists suggest that steamed potatoes without oil and salt have higher health value. If they are used as staple food instead of white rice and flour, it will be beneficial to improve nutrition and control blood pressure.
4. Di Sanxian
This famous dish is cooked by many families. Potato, eggplant and green pepper, the three main ingredients, are fried and braised, and they are soft and fragrant. Nutritionists point out that eggplant, potato and green pepper all contain inorganic salt-potassium, but it will be lost after high-temperature frying. Eggplant is rich in vitamin P, which can reduce blood fat. After frying, eggplant will absorb a lot of oil like a sponge, almost completely losing its health benefits. In addition, green peppers and potatoes are rich in vitamin C, and almost all of them are lost after frying.
Health improvement method: nutritionists suggest that this dish can be improved to be low in oil and salt, that is, leave the bottom oil in the pot, stir fry garlic slices, add water and starch, add salt and soy sauce to taste. Then put potatoes, eggplant and green pepper in turn according to the degree of easy cooking, which not only reduces the intake of fat, but also ensures less loss of nutrients.
5. Egg yolk _ pumpkin
This dish is soft and fragrant and is welcomed by many people. However, the nutritionist pointed out that when cooking this dish, it is necessary to stir-fry the salted egg yolk in the oil for half a minute to one minute in advance, so that the egg yolk can be softened and turned into sand, and the aroma is stronger. In this way, a lot of vitamins in the egg yolk will be lost, and the cholesterol in it is very easy to oxidize at the bottom of the pot and in the air at high temperature, forming cholesterol oxidation products. Studies have found that cholesterol oxidation products can cause damage to human vascular endothelium and induce the risk of arteriosclerosis. In addition, the pumpkin in the dish needs high-temperature frying to be crispy outside and tender inside, but after high-temperature cooking, carotenoids and other nutrients in the pumpkin will also be lost in large quantities.
Health care method: Nutritionists suggest crushing salted egg yolk, putting it in a small bowl, soaking it in onion, ginger, water and carved wine, isolating it from the air, steaming it in a drawer for 10 minutes, and then burning it on pumpkin with its juice. Add crushed salted egg yolk one minute before cooking, thicken and collect juice.
