As a gourmet country, China's cuisine is world-famous.
Many people in China boast of "eating food", and every thousand people have the taste of a thousand people. However, if diet is linked to health, then every thousand people may have a healthy and healthy concept.
Although "illness comes from the mouth", good eating habits can bring us a healthy foundation, but are those healthy eating philosophies that have been circulating for many years really useful?
?
Is the concept of healthy eating really useful for so many years?
When it comes to food, many people have their own words to say:
For example, whether zongzi and bean curd are salty or sweet, whether moon cakes are five-kernel, and what is the taste of hot pot dipped in vegetables? ...
But when it comes to healthy eating and keeping in good health, more people have something to say.
?
I often hear some dieters say that drinking a glass of water before eating hot pot can reduce weight, and elders often say that drinking overnight tea will cause cancer ... Many people insist on this all year round, but these so-called healthy eating habits are very likely to be wrong.
At present, a documentary called "Food: Fact or Fiction" is very popular. I thought it was a documentary about food stories, but I didn't expect this documentary to talk about health problems.

Food Myth: Do you know all the stories and misunderstandings about food?
This documentary explains the mystery of diet in daily life from the perspective of answering questions for everyone. Tell The Secret Behind about "scientific diet" through many short stories about food in life.
For example, the importance of eating breakfast, eating more carrots can make your eyesight better, and you must not eat meat if you want to lose weight.
Although it has something to do with food, it is not delicious at all. It just talks about healthy eating from a scientific point of view.

Breakfast is not as important as you think.
In modern society, many people actually don't have the habit of eating breakfast, especially some stressed office workers. It is not easy to get to the company smoothly in the morning rush hour.
But now more and more publicity tells us that breakfast is very important to the human body, which is related to health and the working state of the day.
But in fact, before the industrial revolution, breakfast had no concept for many people. At that time, except for a few nobles, many people only ate two meals a day, and even the breakfast in ancient China was aristocratic.
?
Nowadays, many weight-loss organizations call for rich breakfast, good eating and even putting carbohydrates in the morning.
For example, in 1878, cornflakes were invented. In order to increase sales and replace traditional breakfast, merchants naturally tend to emphasize the importance of the first meal in a day.
?
It was Edward Bowens, known as the "father of public relations", who rewrote the history of breakfast.
Beech-Nut, an American bacon production company, found Bornes at 1925, hoping to increase its bacon sales.
So, Bornes thought of a way to use expert authority to publicize. He interviewed 5000 doctors in writing and asked them if a big breakfast was better than a humble breakfast. Is bacon breakfast a hearty breakfast?
?
The answer is, of course, yes.
Therefore, he published this conclusion in the newspaper as a research result, and constantly instilled in the public the concept that "breakfast should be rich, and bacon should be included in a rich breakfast", thus making bacon, an advanced ingredient, a necessity for breakfast during the Great Depression1968-11920s in the United States.
?
But in fact, although breakfast has its significance, it is not as important as publicity. If you eat a lot of carbohydrates in the morning, you will feel sleepy. Breakfast is not directly related to obesity. Obesity is just excess energy. If you eat a lot in the morning, others will eat too. The fat one is still fat!
?
Therefore, people who skip breakfast are usually fatter than those who eat breakfast every day. In fact, it is only a statistical result, which does not mean that people who skip breakfast will be fatter.
If you have the habit of eating a rich breakfast, you can keep it. If not, you don't need to worry about it affecting your health.
?
If you want to have good eyesight, you should eat more carrots?
I believe many nearsighted people have heard of this statement, because carrots are rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A beneficial to eyesight.
It seems that all this has something to do with it. Even if they don't like carrots, many nearsighted people need a drink even if they are juicing.
?
In fact, the theory of carrot's good eyesight originated in World War II, which was concocted by Britain and the United States for propaganda needs, which not only caused panic in Germany, but also eased the pressure of carrots on food to some extent.
The British army publicized that "our pilots have superhuman vision because they eat a lot of carrots", thus trying to cover up the invention of radar with the philosophy of health preservation, but carotene itself has no direct relationship with the quality of vision, so it is really unnecessary to eat carrots.
?
Although 19 13 found that vitamin A can treat dry eye and 1929 found that carotene can be converted into vitamin A, it does not mean that eating more carrots can improve vision and prevent myopia.
Compared with other foods, the content of vitamin A in carrots is not the highest, and the content of lotus root and broccoli is nearly twice as high.
?
Want to be thin and not eat meat?
Influenced by health and public aesthetics, many people began to join the army of losing weight.
For losing weight, many people think that we should eat less meat, especially less fat, because this is the chief culprit leading to obesity.
However, according to the current scientific research, dieters should eat more fat, because carbohydrates and sugars are the chief culprits who eventually turn into fat and lead to obesity.
?
Eating fat will not promote insulin secretion, but it will improve metabolic capacity because it needs to be consumed. The most important thing is that some people abroad reverse diabetes through a high-fat diet.
?
Of course, different meats are different. For example, white meat such as chicken and fish can be eaten more, but fatty meat such as fat meat should be mainly moderate.
Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you must eat more meat, reduce the intake of carbohydrates and sugars, and regular exercise is the most scientific diet.
