1. Precautions for eating hot pot
1, eat less half-cooked.
Many diners like to eat sliced meat, lettuce and so on. Give it a little rinse, which is not good. At present, the production of livestock, poultry and vegetables in China is mostly raised and planted by retail investors, and the food safety is not very high, so that pathogenic microorganisms and parasitic eggs often remain in fresh food served on the table. If eaten after washing, there is a great possibility that harmful microorganisms will invade the human body. It has been suggested that people would rather sacrifice some flavor than rinse food thoroughly before eating.
2. Eat less hot food
After winter every year, the number of patients with oral diseases will increase by more than 15% compared with other seasons, which is related to the scalding of oral mucosa by hot food. The temperature of hot pot soup can usually reach 120℃, which is easy to burn the mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa when taken out. Some people who already have aphtha are several times more likely to relapse after eating hot pot. People with oral leukoplakia or lichen planus are more likely to make their condition worse by eating hot pot. So, don't worry about eating hot pot. It is best to put the rinsed food into a bowl and cool it before eating.
3. Drink less soup stock
Eat hot pot and drink soup as early as possible, otherwise the longer you rinse it, the higher the content of harmful residues in the soup, such as nitrite. Hot pot soup contains more sodium salt, so patients with kidney disease and hypertension should eat less; Seasoning (such as sand tea sauce, Chili sauce, etc. ) it is irritating to some extent, and people with gastrointestinal diseases should use it less; Hot pot materials such as meatballs contain a lot of oil, so patients with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia should eat less.
Step 4 eat less internal organs
On the hot pot table, visceral food of livestock and poultry is common, which is not conducive to people's health. With the application of pesticides, fertilizers and additives in food production, the internal organs of animals, as metabolic organs, often become "filters" and "reservoirs" for such harmful substances, especially the liver and lungs, which contain the highest pathogenic microorganisms and drug residues.
5, eat less high purine food
In addition to physical fitness and fatigue, gout is easy to develop with the increase of eating hot pot, which is related to eating seafood, animal offal, mushrooms and other foods containing a lot of purine. Some people mistakenly think that "no meat but soup" would be better. In fact, purine can be fully dissolved in soup, which is one of the reasons why gout is easy to occur in the season when all kinds of pots and pans are selling well.
2. A healthy way to eat hot pot
1. Eat hot pot with air circulation.
If you use a charcoal stove to burn hot pot, you should be careful. You must open the window to let the air circulate. When the air is not circulating, there is no oxygen in the room, and charcoal is not fully burned, it will produce a lot of carbon monoxide, which is easy to poison people. Carbon dioxide poisoning is usually difficult to detect. Because you drink wine while eating hot pot, you will be mistaken for drunkenness if you have poisoning symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, vomiting and headache. In severe cases, coma, blood pressure drop and red lips will occur. So if you use a charcoal stove to burn hot pot, you must pay attention to indoor ventilation.
Don't drink hot pot soup after eating.
Many people like to drink hot pot soup, saying that it is very strong and delicious, and it is the essence; In fact, it is better to eat less, because most hot pots are mainly meat, vegetables, mushrooms and seafood. The soup cooked with these ingredients will produce substances with extremely high concentration, which will be metabolized by the liver after being digested and decomposed in the stomach, which will reduce renal function and hinder excretion, and will cause excessive uric acid to deposit in blood and tissues, thus causing gout. Therefore, when eating hot pot, drink plenty of water to excrete uric acid.
When eating hot pot, the meat must be cooked.
When eating hot pot, you often pursue tender and delicious, and eat it just cooked or half cooked; When you cook meat, you should cook it before eating it, in case there are parasites in it. Some parasites, such as Trichinella spiralis, are parasitic on pigs, cattle, sheep and dogs. People who eat it will enter the intestine and enter the blood, which will make people feel unwell, cause vomiting, diarrhea, headache, high fever, especially severe pain in the feet and stomach, and make people inflexible. If it enters the brain, it may even produce meningitis, which is dangerous to life.
4. Hot pot utensils should be clean.
Clean utensils are the best. Ordinary copper chafing dish is easy to produce a thin layer of green rust after it is stopped. This is the basic copper carbonate or copper acetate produced by the chemical reaction between copper and residual water or moisture, residual seasoning acetic acid on the pot and carbon dioxide in the air. They are all poisonous. Therefore, the cleaning work should be done well, otherwise it will cause rust poisoning and nausea and vomiting. At the same time, the hot pot is mainly hot, and the ingredients must be fresh, clean and hygienic.
5. The bottom fire of hot pot must be prosperous.
The firepower should be fierce and the temperature should be appropriate. The bottom fire of the hot pot must be strong, so as to keep the soup in the pot boiling. If vegetables are cooked in the pot for too long, the nutrients will be destroyed and the flavor will be easily lost; If eaten before boiling, germs and parasite eggs are not completely killed, which is easy to cause digestive tract diseases.
6. Don't eat too hot food.
The human mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa can only tolerate the temperature of 50℃~60℃. Too hot food can damage mucosa, leading to acute esophagitis and acute gastritis. Therefore, when taking out the hot rinse meat from the pot, it is best to put it in a small dish to cool before eating.
7. Don't spend the night for hot pot dishes and soup.
When preparing hot pot food, don't buy too much food, just enough, and don't stay overnight. In addition, hot pot soup should not be reused, and it is not allowed to put the residual vegetable soup in the pot for overnight reuse, otherwise the content of nitrite (a strong carcinogen) in the soup boiled for a long time will increase, which is harmful to the health after eating.
8. Don't mix hot and cold when eating hot pot.
Many people like to eat hot pot with cold drinks or wine. Eating cold drinks and food alternately is easy to damage the gastrointestinal tract; People with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension should pay attention to hot soup and alcohol. These drinks tend to warm the body, but when exposed to cold air, blood vessels tend to contract rapidly, and the body temperature will drop after drinking for a period of time.
9. Pay attention to hygiene when eating hot pot.
Many people habitually use chopsticks to sandwich raw meat slices or vegetables when eating hot pot, and then use the same pair of chopsticks to eat them when they are cooked, which is very unsanitary and easy to eat germs into the body. When you rinse meat, you must prepare special chopsticks or tools.
If you must drink it, it is better to use tea instead. In fact, it has the function of degreasing.
