Fats and oils have the highest calories
The human body's daily calorie intake should be around 2000 kcal. 100 grams of fatty pork contains 807 kcal, whereas 100 grams of cooking oil can reach 900 kcal. Therefore, all kinds of pure animal or vegetable oils should be consumed as little as possible.
The "Balanced Diet, Healthy Weight" slogan promoted by the National Health Lifestyle Action explicitly states: reduce oil intake by 20%, and control daily oil consumption to 25-30 grams.
Egg yolks are the highest in cholesterol
Cholesterol intake must also be strictly controlled. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that the daily amount of cholesterol obtained from food should not exceed 300 mg. Among common foods, egg yolks have the highest cholesterol content, with 2850 mg per 100 grams.
River snails are the richest in calcium
Everyone knows that dairy products are the main source of calcium, but did you know that the food richest in calcium is the river snail? Its calcium content per 100 grams is nearly three times that of dried shrimp.
Lamb liver is the richest in Vitamin A
High-Vitamin-A foods come from two sources: one is animal-based foods like animal liver and egg yolks; the other is yellow-green vegetables and fruits rich in carotene, such as carrots and tomatoes. But among all these Vitamin-A-rich foods, the champion is lamb liver, with a Vitamin A content nearly five times that of pork liver.
Poria has the most dietary fiber
Dietary fiber is known as the body's "scavenger." Foods high in dietary fiber are generally vegetables, dried goods, and coarsely processed grains. Among these, Poria has the highest dietary fiber content, with 6 to 7 times more per 100 grams than celery.
For calories and cholesterol, choose foods with lower content. For calcium, Vitamin A, and dietary fiber, choose foods with higher content. These are all "food champions," but one requires addition and the other subtraction—that is the secret to maintaining health.
