Mutton, the most nutritious meat. Mutton has the effects of strengthening yang, nourishing essence and blood, and treating lung deficiency, which is quite beneficial to patients with asthma, tracheitis, lung disease and deficiency-cold syndrome. It can also tonify kidney, strengthen yang, tonify deficiency, keep out the cold and strengthen the body. It is a treasure of nourishing and dietotherapy in winter. However, it should be noted that mutton is warm after all and not suitable for everyone. People with excessive fire due to yin deficiency, excessive cough and phlegm, indigestion, arthritis, eczema and fever should not eat.
Chicken, the least fat meat. The chicken here refers to the skinless chicken, because almost all the fat in the chicken skin is. Every 100g of skinless chicken contains 24g of protein, but the fat is only 0.7g. Chicken has a good therapeutic effect on malnutrition, chills, fatigue, irregular menstruation, anemia and physical weakness.
Pork, the meat with the most iron supplement. There is a big difference between fat and lean pork. Fat is high in fat and low in protein. Eating too much can easily lead to diseases such as hyperlipidemia and obesity. Most of protein is concentrated in lean meat, which also contains hemoglobin, which can supplement iron and prevent anemia. Hemoglobin in meat is better absorbed than that in plants, so eating lean meat to supplement iron is better than eating vegetables.
Because the fiber tissue of pork is soft and contains a lot of intramuscular fat, it is better to digest and absorb than beef. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eating lean meat in pork has the function of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and has a certain therapeutic effect on diseases such as fever, body fluid injury, dry cough and constipation.
Fish and shrimp are the meat with the most trace elements. Fish and shrimp are rich in trace elements, including calcium, aluminum, iron, manganese, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, iodine, chlorine, sulfur and so on, which are necessary for human body. Although aquatic products are rich in nutrition, they should not be eaten more. Affected by marine pollution, aquatic products often contain toxins and harmful substances. Excessive consumption can easily lead to spleen and stomach damage and cause gastrointestinal diseases.
Experts say that protein in meat can also be obtained by replacing milk and beans, but B vitamins, essential fatty acids and minerals such as zinc and iron are irreplaceable by vegetables and fruits. "Therefore, we don't need meat, but we don't need too much meat." Yu Kang said.
Nutritionists said that the "dietary balance pagoda" clearly pointed out that a person consumes 75 grams of lean meat every day, which is equivalent to a piece the size of a deck of playing cards. For vegetables, it is best to consume about 500 grams a day. "Unfortunately, many people now eat these two things backwards."
Meat is divided into red meat and white meat. Red meat refers to meat that is red before cooking, and all mammalian meat, such as pork, beef, mutton and rabbit meat, belongs to this category. White meat refers to meat with fine muscle fiber, low fat content and high unsaturated fatty acid content in fat, including poultry (chicken, duck, goose, turkey, etc. ), fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans (shrimps and crabs, etc. ) or bivalves (oysters, clams, etc. ).
Manual workers are suitable for eating red meat, while mental workers eat more white meat; Men have a large demand for red meat, while women have a small demand for red meat, so they can eat more white meat; Old people's physical function deteriorates, and eating more red meat can easily lead to cardiovascular diseases and Alzheimer's disease. It is best to eat white meat. To meet the needs of physical development, children should eat these two kinds of meat. Yu Kang reminded that if you suffer from chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure, it is best to eat less meat and eat more beans, such as soybean milk and tofu. If you really want to eat, you must only eat lean meat to ensure nutrient supply and not aggravate chronic diseases. Cooking methods of meat should follow the principle of "low fat". Rinse meat, steam meat and barbecue (the temperature should not be too high) are the healthiest ways to eat meat, which will not increase excess fat, but also remove some of the fat contained in meat.
