My second brother refused to eat Chinese food when he came back from abroad. Eating western food every day is healthy. He died of cancer last year. What caused it?

What we usually call western food mainly includes western and eastern European countries, as well as some Latin American countries such as China coastal countries and Mexico. Western food can be roughly divided into French food, English food, Italian food, russian cuisine food, American food, Mediterranean food and other different styles of dishes. Generally, knives and forks are used as tableware and bread is the staple food. The main features are prominent main ingredients, bright color, delicious taste and convenient supply.

Nowadays, western food is becoming more and more popular among many young people. These exotic western foods are very popular because of their different colors and tastes from traditional dishes. However, ignoring China's traditional diet and blindly advocating and eating western food will do harm to health. Relevant surveys show that western food has become the main cause of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, colorectal cancer and other diseases among young people.

Bread and meat are the staple foods of western food, while hamburgers, fried chicken, French fries and pizza are characterized by low fiber, high calorie and high fat, which easily make people suffer from various wealth diseases. Compared with the western high-fat and high-calorie dietary structure, the traditional dietary structure in China is mainly low in fat, protein, calories and carbohydrates. The traditional diet in China is mainly carbohydrates such as whole grains, supplemented by non-staple foods such as fish, meat, eggs and milk. At the same time, various dietary fibers such as vegetables, melons and fruits are supplemented. Generally speaking, the structure of traditional diet in China is more balanced and scientific.

Moreover, whole grains and vegetables can promote the peristalsis of large intestine and reduce the probability of colorectal cancer. Now, with China people's eating habits biased towards the west, rice and vegetables are rarely eaten, and there is little peristalsis in the large intestine, so it is easy to suffer from colorectal cancer, and the age of suffering from colorectal cancer is also decreasing. The probability of colorectal cancer in the east is lower than that in the west, which really has a lot to do with eating habits.

In the process of making western food, hydrogenated oil is widely used in shortbread, barbecue, fried steak, fruit dessert and other foods, which can make food delicious, but its harm can not be underestimated. Studies have shown that all kinds of western food contain hydrogenated fat. If the human body ingests too much, it will affect the cholesterol content in the blood, thus making people prone to diabetes and heart disease.

However, western food is rich in meat and vegetables, and high in fat, calories and cholesterol, which easily leads to hypertension, hyperlipidemia and prostate cancer. If the diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are not properly controlled for a long time, they will cause great damage to the kidneys and eventually form uremia. Therefore, long-term improper consumption of western food is a great threat to human health.

Now, many western countries begin to reflect on their diet structure, and tend to China's traditional diet, such as soybean milk, steamed bread and steamed buns in China. What is worrying is that many young people in China blindly pursue western food as a fashion and emotional appeal, so we really need to reflect on it. Western food is not suitable for China people's eating habits. It is not as balanced and healthy as traditional food. Try to eat as little as possible.

Hope to adopt!
