First, food production emphasizes taste.
The heavy taste of take-away food means that the use of spices is much larger than that of ordinary families. Therefore, most of the take-away dishes are heavy oil, salty and spicy (spicy in almost all restaurants now), and most of the sweets are too sweet and greasy. That is, "high salt, high oil, high sugar and too spicy" are the main characteristics of take-away food. In addition, a large number of ingredients, spices and so on are used.
The purpose of this is to form a strong taste stimulus and dish characteristics, so as to firmly grasp the stomach of diners. Of course, take-out should also consider "eating", and heavier tastes are of course more conducive to appetizing and eating.
What problems will heavy taste cause? The top international journal Nature published a report on "Public Health, the Truth of Sugar Toxicity" on 20 12. According to the report, sugar is no less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, and its harm far exceeds fat and calories. As for the harm of salted vegetables, it is directly related to common health problems such as three highs, overweight and obesity.
Second, it is difficult to effectively grasp the nutritional components of food, which is not conducive to diet control.
Although you can choose the food you want to eat when ordering takeout, it is difficult for the food provided by the merchants to meet the requirements of healthy eating. In addition to the problem of heavy taste mentioned above, ingredients are also a problem.
For example, people who want to reduce their carbohydrate intake may think that it is enough to order a meatball, but the content of starch or rice in the meatballs provided by takeaway may be high, which makes them feel like "noodles".
Another example is eating beef, which is a good way to eat protein. The beef served in the takeaway may also be fat beef, which increases the intake of fat.
People who want to reduce fat intake may encounter a high proportion of fat in diced meat and minced meat, but people who eat it may not notice it.
Therefore, for people with dietary control needs, ordering takeout frequently is not conducive to dietary control, and it is also likely to make the diet out of control.
Several Countermeasures for Frequently Ordering Takeaway Many people, such as taxi drivers and people who need to work overtime, often eat takeout or eat out. In addition, what should dieters or bodybuilders who have high demands on diet control do if they want to order takeout? Is there any way to minimize the adverse effects of frequent take-out on health?
Countermeasures 1: Wash away the heavy taste of food.
Yuhang Army has met some bodybuilders or fitness coaches. During the period of slimming and shaping, they often ask for a cup of boiled water when eating takeout or eating out, and then each bite is washed with boiled water and sent to the mouth. This method, of course, is very effective, and it can wash off the seasoning as much as possible, which is beneficial to weight loss and health.
Of course, this also makes the dishes dull. Between health, good figure and heavy taste, people who eat must make a choice in advance.
Countermeasure 2: Choose a healthy diet.
At present, many take-away merchants provide special healthy meals, fitness meals and diet meals. The characteristics of these meals are just the opposite of the traditional take-away "heavy taste", emphasizing low calorie, low salt, little oil or no oil, and the ingredients are quite fresh. For people with high requirements for healthy eating, such healthy meals can be given priority.
Countermeasure 3: Bring your own food or make your own healthy meals.
In fact, as long as you often order takeout or eat out, you can't effectively control how food is cooked and what you eat in your mouth. The best way is to bring the meals prepared by your family. Another better way is to make your own fitness meal according to the needs of losing weight or fitness. Of course, this will be a little troublesome.
Therefore, if you are a bodybuilder, a dieter, or someone who has higher requirements for a healthy diet, you'd better stay away from takeout for the sake of health and figure.
