The World Health Organization recommends that women's daily salt intake should not exceed 6 grams. Eating a salt-free lunch or dinner regularly will bring many unexpected benefits to women's health.
Long-term intake of salt is harmful
In the diet of women in China, there has always been the concept of "salty is fresh", "a good cook has a handful of salt" and "pickles are good at cooking", and they like to eat salty food, commonly known as "heavy mouth".
However, long-term intake of large amounts of salt is very harmful to health, which will not only induce hypertension, but also cause gastritis, peptic ulcer, upper respiratory tract infection and other diseases. In addition, excessive salt is the chief culprit of osteoporosis.
Because the kidney excretes too much sodium with urine every day, it consumes about 26 mg of calcium every time it excretes 1000 mg of sodium. Therefore, the more sodium the human body needs to excrete, the greater the consumption of calcium, which will inevitably affect the normal growth of bones.
Salt-free meals have many advantages.
Salt-free food is beneficial to balance the pressure of infiltration inside and outside cells, thus releasing some unfavorable factors to cells, which is a systemic phenomenon. It suggests that people who eat a lot of salt should eat some light or salt-free food regularly.
Especially for people who often eat out, there is no way to control the salt content in food at ordinary times, so it is recommended to eat a salt-free meal once a week to fully purify the stomach and blood vessels.
Of course, don't eat salt-free meals too often, at most twice a week, because too little salt intake will also destroy the ion balance in the body, which is not good for your health. This is also the conclusion reached by scientists from different countries after experimenting with animals respectively. This experimental result has important guiding significance for improving human health. Eating salt-free meals regularly can not only reduce salt intake, but also clean the stomach, balance osmotic pressure and protect our health.

1, use oil incense.

Everyone likes delicious food, but some things will cause health problems if they are not careful. You know, some things can't be preserved for a long time, and some things can't be eaten overnight. Overnight food not only loses its delicacy, but also harms your health.
1. Can I eat eggs overnight?
Northerner: Yes, I didn't see tea eggs on the street! Southerners: No, especially men, because they will get intestinal gas/scrotum swelling.
Scientist: Not necessarily! Because if the egg is not fully cooked, the immature yolk will be eaten overnight. Nutritious things can easily breed bacteria if they are not properly preserved, which is harmful to the body, such as gastrointestinal discomfort and flatulence. However, if the food (eggs) is cooked and properly sealed at low temperature (usually refrigeration temperature), it can generally be preserved for 48 hours.
From the tips of scientists, we can know whether eggs can be eaten overnight depends not only on whether they are heated, but also on whether they are cooked for the first time. Only after the first boiled egg is cooked, it is no problem to cook it overnight. This is also the truth of tea eggs. Maybe you don't know that tea eggs are boiled twice, the first time is boiled, the second time is to break the egg skin, add tea and other accessories, and then cook.
2. Don't drink overnight tea.
After staying overnight for a long time, most of the vitamins are lost, and the protein and sugar in the tea soup will become nutrients for bacteria and mold. So people usually think that overnight tea can't be drunk.
You can't drink boiled water overnight.
Boil tap water for 3-5 minutes, the content of harmful substances such as nitrite and chloride is the lowest, which is most suitable for people to drink.
Drink less boiled water overnight: Nitrite can form carcinogenic nitrosamines in human body. Some experts have found that the nitrite content in boiled water is higher than that in raw water. In addition, if the boiling time is too long or repeated for more than 24 hours, the nitrite content will increase obviously. After the water was boiled for 24 hours, the content of nitrite was 1 when it was just boiled. Three times. China residents have the habit of drinking boiled water. It's best to burn it now or just drink the boiled water of the day. Don't drink boiled water for too long.
4. Can tremella be eaten overnight?
Auricularia auricula soup is an advanced nutritional supplement, but after a night, the nutritional components will be reduced and harmful components will be produced. Because both the tremella cultivated indoors and the tremella cultivated in the wild of basswood contain more nitrate, if cooked for a long time, the nitrate will be reduced to nitrite under the decomposition of bacteria. When people drink this soup, nitrous acid naturally enters the blood circulation. Red blood cells in the blood contain hemoglobin, which can carry a lot of oxygen for the body's needs. Nitrite, on the other hand, has the opposite effect, oxidizing normal hemoglobin in human body into methemoglobin, losing its oxygen-carrying ability, leading to the loss of normal hematopoietic function in human body!
