Spring Festival diet health reader

The Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in China, and it is also a day for family and friends to get together and raise a glass to celebrate. All the colleagues in Health Weekly wish you a happy and peaceful holiday. However, I also remind you that while eating and drinking well, don't forget to eat scientifically and drink safely. Please have a look-

■ Three taboos

First, avoid drinking.

It is essential for relatives and friends to get together and drink, but remember to persuade them not to be too concerned. Although many people are not good at drinking, in order to show hospitality, they often raise glasses to persuade them to enter. This practice not only hurts others' stomachs, but also hurts themselves. The practice of "fighting for wine" is even more undesirable. When people are in high spirits, they often drink too much, which leads to "getting angry". Medical research shows that excessive drinking will bring irreversible damage to many organs such as liver and myocardium, which is really not worth the candle. In particular, we should remind everyone that drinking on an empty stomach is very harmful, and we should eat some food such as milk and bread before drinking.

Second, avoid overeating.

When it comes to overeating during the Spring Festival, everyone may disagree-now that life is so good, you can eat everything. How can anyone overeat? In fact, overeating is not only people's overeating, but also refers to people's "flustered" eating style. During the Spring Festival, when friends and relatives get together, they are often emotional and have great emotional fluctuations. However, excessive excitement is not conducive to the digestion of food and often leads to diseases. Therefore, maintaining emotional stability, psychological balance, peace of mind and cheerful spirit during the Spring Festival is conducive to healthy diet.

Third, avoid excessive curiosity.

During the Spring Festival, many people are tired of eating chicken, duck and fish, so they rack their brains to eat something they don't usually eat, especially some game. For example, eat some cat meat, mouse meat, snake meat and so on. Relevant experts pointed out that it is not impossible to change the taste, but it must be based on safety. Strange game is not a common meat food, and its quality is often difficult to be effectively quarantined. The seemingly "delicious" game, which carries pathogenic microorganisms and parasites, is unknown to consumers, and the safety hazard is very great. Therefore, don't blindly seek novelty, be greedy for perfection.

■ Eight points for attention

First of all, the diet structure should be reasonable

During the Spring Festival, there are many banquets and people will eat many kinds of food. It should be noted that unreasonable dietary structure leads to health and safety hazards.

Human blood should remain slightly alkaline. If human blood is acidic, blood viscosity and cholesterol are relatively high, people are prone to fatigue and their resistance will also decline. Almost all meat dishes are acidic foods. Therefore, the holiday diet should not only eat big fish and meat, but also be accompanied by alkaline food. Vegetables and fruits are alkaline foods rich in mineral elements such as calcium and magnesium. The highest alkali content is kelp, followed by green vegetables, lettuce, lettuce, celery, mushrooms, carrots, radishes and so on.

China residents' salt intake is already high, and it is often more during festivals. Potassium is the bane of sodium, which can help the human body excrete excess sodium. Potash-rich vegetables include laver, kelp, mushrooms, asparagus, pea seedlings, lettuce, celery and so on.

Second, food hidden dangers should be vigilant.

Environmental deterioration leads to pollution of agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery products, and some lawless elements use harmful chemicals to treat agricultural and sideline products. These factors will affect food safety. Although the overall situation of food safety is improving, consumers should remain vigilant. By learning relevant knowledge, consumers can make choices and pay attention when buying food. This magazine has introduced a lot of knowledge about food identification in the past, so I won't repeat it here. )

Third, centralized procurement should not be sloppy.

Although the food market is usually rich, many people still have the habit of centralized purchasing during the Spring Festival. Due to the reasons of time and energy, people often don't choose shopping carefully at this time, and some problematic foods are easy to be used. Merchants may also neglect to check the quality of goods when purchasing a large number of goods. Therefore, consumers should make good purchases. Also pay attention to the choice of the place to buy food. We should try to go to supermarkets, convenience stores and formal shopping malls instead of buying goods from small vendors. Even in safer places such as supermarkets, we should choose foods of well-known brands with reliable quality.

Fourth, the choice of tableware should be safe.

At the Spring Festival party, many people will update their tableware and tea sets. You can't just look at the appearance when buying tableware, and the safety of tableware can't be ignored.

Generally speaking, ceramic tableware is the least toxic among tableware, but pay attention to its lead content when buying colorful tableware. Long-term use of unqualified aluminum tableware may lead to the hidden danger of Alzheimer's disease. Never use rusty iron tableware. Stainless steel tableware is slightly toxic, and the nickel and titanium contained in it are harmful to human body. When buying plastic tableware, try to choose products without pictures or patterns.

5. Be careful in the production process.

Production is an important link to ensure food safety, and some details need to be highly valued. In the process of food processing, hands, utensils, chopping boards and rags may be contaminated by bacteria in fresh food. So wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Dry your hands with a tissue to prevent bacteria from staying on your hands. The surface of kitchen utensils should be scrubbed with disinfectant and napkin. After washing dishes, dry them thoroughly with a napkin to prevent bacteria from multiplying.

The meat in the refrigerator should have enough time to thaw, and don't let the thawed water flow to other places or food. It is best to put the food that needs to be thawed on a plate and cover it with a napkin, so that the thawed water can be sucked up by the napkin.

6. Cooking can completely prevent diseases.

Raw food is a popular way to eat. Many people like the delicious sashimi and the refreshing taste of oysters. But the cooking temperature of meat can't reach 100℃, so it can't kill parasites or germs on meat food. When people eat barbecue, hot pot and raw seafood, the food is most likely to be in a half-baked state. At this time, parasites and germs are the most active, and people have a high probability of being infected after eating them. Raw lentils that have not been fully heated.

Soymilk contains toxins, which will be poisoned if eaten. Therefore, consumers should not blindly pursue raw food diet.

Seven, pay attention to preservation conditions.

Bacteria that cause food poisoning are most likely to breed in an environment of 5 to 60 degrees Celsius, which is called a dangerous temperature zone. Food is prepared too early before eating, or the processed food is placed in an environment where bacteria are easy to multiply for a long time. Improper heating method is equivalent to placing food in a dangerous area. Leftovers should be put in the refrigerator within two hours after cooking, and stored raw and cooked separately. Fresh food, especially meat, fish and seafood, should be placed at the bottom of the refrigerator, and processed food should be placed at the top. All food should be put in clean, non-toxic and washable containers and covered tightly. Frozen meat, poultry and fish shall not be preserved again, and the shelf life of canned fish and meat shall not exceed one year.

Eight, side dishes with wine is taboo.

Not all delicious food is suitable for drinking. Please pay attention here.

Bean jelly: Appropriate amount of alum should be added in the processing of bean jelly, which can slow down gastrointestinal motility. Using jelly with alcohol can prolong the residence time of alcohol in gastrointestinal tract and increase the absorption of alcohol by human body. At the same time, it also increases the stimulation of alcohol on gastrointestinal tract; Slow down the blood flow, prolong the residence time of alcohol in the blood, make people drunk and endanger health.

Carrots: Carotene and alcohol contained in carrots will produce toxic substances harmful to health under the action of liver enzymes. Smoked food: Smoked food contains more nitrosamines and pigments. When it reacts with alcohol, it will not only damage the liver, but also damage the oral cavity, esophagus and gastrointestinal mucosa, and also induce cancer.
