In addition to a certain amount of protein, fat and starch, the food we come into contact with also contains some trace elements that are often neglected. The contents of these trace elements in human body can directly or indirectly affect human health. For example, there is a trace element called chromium, and its content in human body is directly related to the occurrence of arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is caused by excessive cholesterol in the blood. Chromium, on the other hand, has the characteristics of promoting cholesterol decomposition and reducing cholesterol concentration in blood. The chromium content of patients with arteriosclerosis is often 4~6 times lower than that of normal people.
In addition to regional chromium deficiency, the more important reason is diet. In food raw materials, the content of chromium was originally very rich, but after some careful work, most of the chromium in food raw materials was lost, which reduced the content of chromium. Atherosclerosis is mainly caused by people eating some refined foods for a long time without adding chromium, which leads to an increase in cholesterol.
From this perspective, a scientific diet is the guarantee of good health. People who are used to eating refined food should get rid of this unscientific habit.
