So why do Cantonese people, who are famous for their love and daring to eat, still maintain an enviable good figure? Among them, healthy cooking is an important reason. Relevant records and surveys show that there are more than ten cooking methods of Cantonese cuisine, such as frying, scalding, stewing and steaming. Cantonese people prefer cooking techniques such as boiling, boiling (scalding) and stewing. On the dining table of Cantonese people, there are two dishes, one is boiled chicken and the other is steamed fish. These simple practices not only retain the original flavor of the ingredients, but also are very healthy. Moreover, if you go to a teahouse in Guangzhou for morning tea, you will definitely see a steamer.
In Guangdong, there is a saying: "If you don't eat vegetables for three days, you can't walk neatly." Guangdong people like to eat green vegetables, just as Sichuan people like to eat rabbit meat and Nanjing people like to eat ducks, which is "just needed". Moreover, you must not underestimate the Guangdong people's persistence in green vegetables. They are very strict with green vegetables and are "exclusive". They believe that only Guangdong cabbage, lettuce and other vegetables with leaves and bright colors are real "vegetables". Speaking of vegetables, they like boiled vegetables best. This not only ensures the original flavor of the food, but also does not need to add edible oil. A dish of boiled cabbage, sweet and refreshing, can not only enhance satiety, but also remove greasy effect. It is strange to eat like this every meal without losing weight.
Besides vegetables, soup is also the favorite of Cantonese people. Guangdong people love to drink soup and can cook soup, which is well known throughout the country. Moreover, they also have the habit of drinking soup before meals. If the bowl of soup is missing before the meal, the meal will lack a sense of ceremony. Some nutrition experts pointed out that drinking soup before eating is not only conducive to food passing through the esophagus, preventing hard objects from stimulating the mucosa, but also mobilizing the secretion of digestive juice in all links. In addition, drinking soup before meals can also make people slow down the speed of eating, so that the "satiety center" of the brain has enough time to shut down and prevent overeating.
In Guangdong, eating snacks in the morning is called "drinking morning tea", and tea culture is also very important in Guangdong's food culture. There is a "hidden rule" in Cantonese restaurant. All restaurants have a coffee table fee calculated by the head. When ordering, the waiter will ask you what kind of tea to drink. Chaozhou people's love for tea is even stronger. How much Chaoshan people love drinking tea can be understood by a picture! How much do Chaoshan people love tea? It is said that people here can hardly live without tea! Even if someone quarrels at home, let them have a cup of tea first! A day without tea is the same as a day without eating! Aromatic compounds in green tea can dissolve fat and effectively promote digestion. So, the next time you eat with Cantonese, don't forget to order vegetables, soup and tea!
Apart from eating habits, you may not know that Cantonese people also love sports. According to the 20 17 Internet Sports Consumption Report, the top six cities in China where netizens love football are Zhongshan, Huizhou, Guangzhou, Dazhou, Foshan and Shenzhen. Among these cities, five are from Guangdong Province. In addition, Cantonese people especially love playing basketball. A survey shows that Shenzhen is a city that loves basketball and hiking. In addition, Dongguan, Guangzhou and Foshan are among the best.
From this point of view, Guangdong people's healthy diet and lifestyle will definitely help them maintain their proud figure under the siege of a large wave of delicious food. More importantly, people everywhere should learn Cantonese and put "national luck" into the details of life. The temperature is not enough, let's get together!
