Although milk is the best source of calcium, it cannot be ignored that nearly 40% of Asians have "lactose intolerance". Drinking milk on an empty stomach for breakfast can irritate the gastric mucosa, causing diarrhea or bowel sounds.
Among the races of the world, the physical differences between the Caucasian and Mongoloid races are the most pronounced. You might think that some lifestyle habits advocated by Caucasians are very fashionable, but in fact, the lifestyle habits that Westerners like may not be suitable for our Eastern constitutions!
Why are black people rarely in swimming finals at the Olympics, why are Caucasians never good at table tennis, and why are there so few Mongoloids on the sprint track? Because blacks天生 have a lower body fat percentage than other races, Caucasians always lack flexibility and skill, and the elasticity of Mongoloid muscle fibers is average, and their constitutions are also偏向 cold (you know, people with a "hot" constitution often have explosive power!). It is evident that racial differences determine the level of performance in different sports, and they also determine differences in physical constitution and lifestyle. Some of the "foreign" health habits often seen on TV and magazines are suitable for our Eastern constitutions, but some should not be tried at all!
Westerners drink milk every day
We should drink soy milk in the morning and milk at night
You should change these "foreign habits"! Although milk is the best source of calcium, it cannot be ignored that nearly 40% of Asians have "lactose intolerance". Drinking milk on an empty stomach for breakfast can irritate the gastric mucosa, causing diarrhea or bowel sounds. Although milk is exceptionally nutritious, for Eastern women, drinking room-temperature milk at night is the best choice. Milk that is too cold will chill the stomach and intestines, and a temperature that is too hot will cause the milk protein to be lost. Therefore, you should treat milk as a post-meal dessert, not a breakfast item. For breakfast, we can choose soy milk. For the intestines of Asians who are highly susceptible to lactose intolerance, soy milk may be more suitable, as it does not cause intestinal discomfort and is rich in soy protein and unsaturated fatty acids. Soy milk is also cholesterol-free and very beneficial for cardiovascular health. Furthermore, drinking soy milk can help women regulate estrogen in their bodies, has the effect of preventing breast cancer, and long-term consumption can greatly reduce the risk of mastitis.
Westerners love to eat cold drinks
But we should eat more hot food
The United States has the highest per capita ice cream consumption in the world. Surprisingly, even in winter, ice cream suppliers' profits are only less than 30% lower than in summer. This means that American women live on cold drinks all year round! But you should know that Western women have a "hotter" constitution, while Eastern women have a "colder" constitution. For a Western woman, eating cold food in winter is just a way to balance yin and yang, but for you, it might lead to an excess of yin, causing stomach and spleen deficiency. Compared to the Western habit of eating cold food in cold weather, eating more hot food is what we need to stick to. Warm food can effectively raise body temperature, boost immunity, and ensure smooth blood circulation. But be careful not to eat too much hot pot, because hot pot contains a lot of salty sauces, and consuming too much salt will be detrimental to our health.
Western women eat bread
We eating rice is also good
In Western cuisine, the staple food is bread. Bread has a high content of phosphorus and ash, which can supplement the vitamins that are often lacking in the bodies of Westerners, whose vegetable intake is far less than that of Asians. However, more and more Asian health experts point out that the dietary fiber structure in rice is more in line with the nutritional composition and digestive habits of Asians, because rice is sweet and neutral in nature, has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and is especially suitable for Easterners with relatively weak gastrointestinal tracts.
Westerners love to eat dessert after meals
For us, a full main course is just right
After a main course, have a small piece of cheesecake? The fact is that a 100-gram piece of cheesecake has 550 calories, equivalent to 10 small bowls of rice, 7 slices of black bread, or one steak! Last year's data from the WHO (World Health Organization) showed that 60% of American women are overweight, largely due to high-calorie post-meal desserts. And the sad fact is that the metabolic rate of Asian women is about 12% lower than that of Westerners, so eating too much sweets makes it easier for Mongoloids to gain weight! If you really can't resist, you can have a small glass of low-calorie sweet wine after a meal. But never reduce your main course intake just to eat dessert, because desserts contain a lot of fat and sugar, and it takes the gastrointestinal tract three times longer than usual to metabolize them compared to the rice and meat in the main course!
The Western-style individual meal service is something we should learn!
The biggest difference between Chinese and Western food is not the taste, but the eating habits. Chinese people prefer "family-style" meals, while Westerners are used to "individual meal service". More and more medical experts believe that "individual meal service" is healthier than "family-style" meals because it can effectively avoid the chance of bacterial transmission through saliva, providing a healthier and cleaner digestive environment. Even when using serving chopsticks in "family-style" meals, the chopsticks will touch the food in other people's bowls, and when they return to the serving plate, they will still carry some saliva bacteria. A study found that more than 50% of respiratory infectious diseases start at the dining table! If you feel that individual meal service distances you from friends and family, it is recommended to use serving chopsticks, which can also effectively reduce the rate of bacterial transmission.
Westerners chew gum at all times
We should chew for a maximum of 7 minutes each time!
After extensive investigation, American health expert Bob Martin concluded: "Women chew gum, first to relieve stress, and second to strengthen the masseter muscles, making the jaw angle look somewhat 'Eastern beautiful'." But note that this conclusion is for Western women! Having jaw angles like Asian beauties such as Joan Chen and Lucy Liu has become the dream of every Western woman with a small face.
But for Asian women who are一心追求 a V-shaped face, constantly chewing gum can easily make our masseter muscles bigger. However, chewing gum can indeed help us achieve goals like cleaning teeth, freshening the mouth, and relieving stress, so it's best to limit each chewing session to 7 minutes to avoid becoming too "Eastern beautiful"!
