1, longevity eating habits
Refuse to eat dinner: it's too late
Some people eat irregularly for a long time and eat dinner or midnight snack very late, which will increase the risk of gallstones and affect our sleep.
On the one hand, the food we eat can't be fully digested in the body, and people's stomachs are forced to work overtime, which will directly affect our sleep. After a long time, it will also lead to insomnia, memory loss, mental weakness and other symptoms.
Refuse to eat dinner: too much.
I ate too much dinner, or ate too late, and didn't do much activity after eating, so I went to bed directly. It will lead to a large amount of insulin secretion, increase the burden of islets, accelerate the aging of islets, and thus induce diabetes. Besides, eating dinner too late has a great influence on your weight! Because a lot of food is not fully digested and absorbed, too much energy produced by metabolism will also increase the risk of obesity.
Refuse to eat dinner: it's too spicy
Nowadays, hot pot, spicy incense pot and other heavy-flavored foods have become the favorite of office workers for dinner.
Eating too salty and spicy at night, such as eating a lot of spicy food such as pepper and garlic, is easy to cause gastrointestinal burning, which can induce gastroesophageal reflux or indigestion, constipation and other problems, resulting in insufficient sleep.
There are also many people who eat high-protein, high-fat and high-calorie foods to release stress. After eating, a large amount of fat in oily food will make the blood sticky and adhere to the blood vessel wall to form atherosclerotic plaques, which will not only cause a variety of cardiovascular diseases, but also lead to hypertension.
Refuse to eat dinner: Tai Su
Many women who want to lose weight like to skip meals at night and support vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes, thinking that this can play a role in losing weight. After a while, I really lost a lot of weight, but once I couldn't control my appetite, my weight rebounded badly.
At the same time, if the body does not have enough glycogen supply, it will get fat from other parts, which will affect the metabolic function of the body and damage liver cells, which is not conducive to health.

Mushrooms were domesticated and cultivated for the first time in China. They have a long history in China, and are called "the king of mushrooms" because of their rich nutrition and delicious taste. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty often ate this vegetable and thought it was a "longevity dish". Experts say that shiitake mushrooms "benefit qi and not hunger, cure wind and break blood, benefit stomach and help food", and people often use them to treat headaches and dizziness. Modern research has proved that Lentinus edodes can regulate human immune function, reduce the possibility of inducing tumors, and play an anti-cancer role.

In addition, it also has a good effect of lowering blood pressure and helping sleep. Buckwheat is also a good scavenger of large intestine, and its fiber content is six times that of ordinary white rice, so it is called "intestinal grass".
(5) Millet nourishes the stomach
Millet is a granular grain after peeling millet, which has always been known as "whole grains, millet first". Sick old people often use millet to nourish their bodies. Chinese medicine believes that millet benefits the five internal organs, thickens the stomach, tonifies the body fluid and strengthens the bones and muscles. A famous doctor in Qing Dynasty said: "Millet is the most nourishing. Rice oil when cooking rice porridge is better than ginseng chicken soup. "
(6) Corn can prevent hypertension.
Corn is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and has the functions of strengthening the spleen, promoting diuresis, stimulating appetite, improving intelligence, calming the heart and promoting blood circulation. Linoleic acid in corn oil can prevent cholesterol from depositing on blood vessel wall, which has a positive effect on preventing hypertension and coronary heart disease. In addition, it also has diuretic and hypoglycemic effects, especially suitable for diabetic patients. American scientists also found that eating corn can stimulate brain cells and enhance human memory. Lutein and zeaxanthin contained in corn can prevent macular degeneration in the eyes of the elderly.
(7) garlic sterilization
In the era without antibiotics, garlic played an important role in saving lives. In the past, salt and garlic were necessary when marching. Salt is used to supplement minerals, while garlic is used to sterilize and prevent diseases. Recently, garlic has also been found to lower cholesterol.
