Have you reached the 20 gold standards for healthy eating?
1. Keep your back straight when eating. When eating, people are relaxed and prone to hunchback. As everyone knows, this will put pressure on the esophagus and stomach and affect digestion. In addition, eating at a low table, sitting on the sofa and squatting for dinner will all cause abdominal pressure and affect the blood circulation of the digestive tract. Over time, it will also cause stomach problems and affect cardiopulmonary function. The correct eating posture is: stand up straight so that your stomach is not oppressed.
2. Drink some porridge when you are particularly hungry. People have a strong appetite when they are extremely hungry, and they want to eat everything they see. In fact, at this time, the digestive function of the stomach has been damaged, and eating and drinking is easy to cause food accumulation. When you are particularly hungry, you should eat a small amount of semi-liquid food, such as porridge, noodles or rice noodles, and then slowly return to normal diet. Especially when you are particularly hungry, don't eat milk, soy milk, yogurt and sweet potatoes, which may cause digestive problems.
3. The interval between meals is 4 ~ 6 hours. Too long or too short an interval between meals will have an impact on the human body. Too long will cause a high degree of hunger and affect labor and work efficiency; The interval is too short, and the digestive organs can't get proper rest, which affects appetite and digestion. Generally, mixed food stays in the stomach for about 4-5 hours, so the interval between meals is 4-6 hours.
4. Eat your favorite food first. There must be something you like and dislike about the food on the table. Which should you eat first? Experts suggest that eating your favorite food first will make you emotionally satisfied. A happy mood can quickly produce a feeling of fullness and avoid overeating.
Don't use your brain immediately after a meal. After a meal, the blood in the body will be concentrated in the digestive organs, and the brain will be relatively ischemic. Using the brain at this time will cause mental stress, memory loss and other problems, and may also increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, you must rest for more than half an hour after dinner before you can enter the working state. Listening to music and walking are good choices.
6. Don't say spoilers while eating. As the saying goes, "eat without saying, sleep without saying." Talking while eating will reduce the frequency of chewing food and reduce saliva secretion, thus affecting digestive function. A recent study in the United States pointed out that discussing complex or disappointing problems during meals will affect people's appetite and digestion, and we can talk about some simple and pleasant topics.
7. Have a hot breakfast. Nerves and blood vessels in the human body are still contracting in the morning. At this time, if you eat cold food, it may cause convulsions in the digestive system. Chinese medicine believes that hot food should be eaten for breakfast to protect stomach qi. It is recommended to choose hot porridge, hot cereal and hot soybean milk. Breakfast, with steamed bread, bread and other dry food staple food.
8. Have tea for half an hour after supper. It is not advisable to drink tea immediately after meals, otherwise it will dilute gastric juice and affect food digestion. At the same time, when tannic acid in tea is mixed with protein in food, it will produce indigestible solidified substances, which will increase the burden on the stomach. Drinking tea for half an hour after a meal can promote digestion and absorption, and play the role of sterilization and tooth protection.
