First, healthy habits.
1, drink two glasses of water before each meal. Weight control is a "protracted war" for most people. Not long ago, researchers found that drinking two small glasses of water before meals can reduce hunger and food intake, which is more obvious than dieting to lose weight. Brenda David of Virginia Tech said, "Drinking water is the easiest and cheapest way to control your weight." People who drink water before meals can consume nearly 300 fewer calories a day. Professor Mike Lynn, an obesity expert at the University of Glasgow in the United States, also pointed out that in addition to drinking water, eating fruits, vegetables and porridge before meals also contains less calories, which helps to improve satiety.
2. Take multivitamins after meals. Yu Kang, deputy director of clinical nutrition department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that chewing slowly in life will lose a lot of B vitamins; Excessive soaking of vegetables will soak a lot of water-soluble vitamins; Foods stored for too long, or cooking methods such as frying and baking may reduce the vitamin content. Taking multivitamins at this time is like taking "insurance", and it is best to eat after meals. Water-soluble vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin B, vitamin C, etc. If eaten on an empty stomach before meals, it will soon enter the small intestine through the stomach and be absorbed, and will be excreted through urine before being fully utilized by the human body. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E and K must be dissolved in fatty foods to be absorbed. If you take it on an empty stomach, most of it cannot be absorbed.
3. Eat raw onions to prevent heart disease. Many people carefully pick out onions when eating vegetables, which is a big mistake. Dr. Kedo Gerweizhi, a professor of cardiology at Harvard Medical School in the United States, pointed out that onions contain a lot of flavonoids that protect the heart. Eating half of them raw or drinking the same amount of onion juice every day can increase the "good cholesterol" of heart patients by about 30%. Especially when eating unhealthy food like barbecue, the onions in it are like your "life-saving grass". Sun, director of the second division of the Nutrition Department of the First Hospital of Peking University, pointed out that onions are really good for patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the effect is best when eaten raw and cold.
4. soak black tea in cold water. A recent study by the US Department of Agriculture found that black tea contains more antioxidants than vegetables or carrots, which can effectively help you fight wrinkles and cancer. The latest research in Japan shows that people who drink more than two cups of black tea every day are 30% less likely to be infected by influenza virus than those who don't drink it. Making tea with hot water will release more caffeine and tannin than making tea with cold water, which will lead to periodic headaches, insomnia and other symptoms. Making tea with cold water can make beneficial substances slowly dissolve out without being destroyed.
5. Eat some high-fiber food before going to bed. Dr Judith wortmann of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: "Eating low-calorie carbohydrate snacks, such as cereal, half an hour before going to bed will help you sleep." Most people only consume half (25-35g) of the fiber they need every day, so it is recommended to make it up at the last minute before going to bed.
6. You should eat some vegetarian dishes. It is not good to eat too much oil, and it is even worse not to eat at all. Sun Limeng said that pumpkins and carrots contain a lot of beta-carotene, so they should not be eaten too lightly. Frying with oil is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients. If you cook porridge with pumpkin, make sure there is oil in other dishes and let them meet in your stomach.
7. The juice of cold dishes is for eating. Many people like to order large mixed vegetables or fruit and vegetable salads when they go to restaurants, thinking that they can supplement vitamins. In fact, the sauces in these dishes will bring a lot of calories to the originally healthy dishes. It's best to put the prepared sauce in a small bowl and dip it in the cut vegetables, so that all you need is the original 1/6.
8. Wash meat with cold water and vegetables with hot water. Many people like to soak in hot water for a while before washing meat. As we all know, washing meat with warm water or hot water is not only easy to deteriorate and rot, but also affects the taste of meat. Most importantly, it will accelerate the loss of protein, amino acids and B vitamins in meat. On the contrary, it is better to wash all kinds of fruits and vegetables with warm water. He pointed out that warm water is easier to remove pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables than cold water.
9, dark fruit anti-aging. If you can't make up your mind about buying fruit, choose a dark one. Compared with light-colored fruits, dark-colored fruits contain more antioxidants, vitamins, selenium, iron, calcium, zinc and other substances, which have anti-cancer, anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.
10, it's better to eat early than late. Professor Hong Zhaoguang, chief health consultant of the Ministry of Health, said that the peak of calcium excretion is 4-5 hours after meals. Eating dinner too late not only affects sleep and accumulates calories, but also easily causes urinary calculi. The best time for dinner for the elderly is 6: 00 or 7: 00 p.m., and do not eat or eat less supper.
We will introduce you to ten good eating habits that can prolong your life here. I believe you have a certain understanding after reading it. Finally, we sincerely wish you good health and a happy life.
Second, habits that are harmful to health
1, bite the pen
In the process of learning, some people often habitually bite the pen once they encounter something they don't understand. But what Bian Xiang Xiao tells you is that for your health, you must get rid of this bad habit in your daily life.
First of all, in the process of using the pen, there will be many bacteria on the pen. If you bite the pen with your teeth at this time, the bacteria on the pen will enter your body, which will endanger your health for a long time.
And people who are used to using pencils. If you bite the pencil head with your teeth when using it, the lead in the pencil will enter your body.
If the lead content in the body is relatively high, it will often lead to loss of appetite, inattention and even lead poisoning.
Therefore, for this kind of people, they must eat more fruits and vegetables in their daily lives, because these foods contain more vitamin C, which can excrete excess lead in the body, thus maintaining good health.
Nowadays, people generally use ballpoint pens or carbon pens. The refills of these pens are often made of chemical raw materials, which will endanger everyone's health once they enter the body.
Therefore, for those who like to bite pens in daily life, you must get rid of this bad habit for your own health.
Step 2 chew gum often
Chewing gum is a kind of snack that people often eat in their leisure time. Not only delicious, but also refreshing. But you know what? Although chewing gum has the above effects, people can't chew gum often. Why do you say that?
First of all, for those who like chewing gum for a long time, it may cause their mandibular joint pain. This is mainly because when people chew gum, the masseter muscle will be compressed, and for a long time, there will be mandibular joint pain. Therefore, when chewing gum, it is best not to exceed fifteen minutes, which will be more conducive to maintaining teeth.
Now many people believe in advertisements. They often think that xylitol is a substance that is particularly beneficial to everyone's health and can protect teeth, so they will eat a lot in their daily lives.
But what Bian Xiao wants to tell you today is that the efficacy of xylitol is often exaggerated by some businesses. In fact, long-term consumption of xylitol chewing gum will not only cause diarrhea, but also induce hypoglycemia, so when eating xylitol chewing gum, we must pay attention to the amount.
Finally, chewing gum often contains a lot of sugar, so chewing gum for a long time will leave sugar in the mouth, and bacteria in the mouth will often use sugar to produce acidic substances, which will damage everyone's teeth, cause decalcification of teeth, or the appearance of dental caries.
3, like to eat spicy food
For some people, they like to eat hot, hot food, such as hot pot, or drink overheated water, but what Bian Xiao wants to tell you today is to minimize eating overheated food in daily life for your health.
Because the temperature of the mouth and rectum is around 37 degrees Celsius, if people often eat food above this temperature, it will inevitably cause harm to the intestines and mouth, and even lead to esophageal cancer and gastric cancer in serious cases. So everyone must pay attention to this in their daily life.
I like rubbing my eyes.
Eyes are the windows to the soul, but many people do not pay attention to maintenance in their daily lives. For example, when people have itchy or dry eyes, they often like to rub their eyes with their hands.
Although the symptoms of dryness and itching will be improved, do you know? Doing so is actually harmful to the eyes.
Mainly because the skin around the eyes is particularly fragile and thin, it will hurt the skin around the eyes when rubbing the eyes, which is easy to produce wrinkles.
There is also a thin layer of skin on the eyeball, which is a film to protect the eyes. However, when people rub their eyes, it is very likely that this film will be broken and many bacteria will be attached to their hands, so these bacteria will enter everyone's eyes and hurt them.
So, you can prepare some eye drops in your bag every day. When the eyes are uncomfortable, you can drop a few drops, which can not only moisturize your eyes well, but also effectively remove eye fatigue and dryness, so you only need to pay attention to it at ordinary times.
