Six Unscientific Eating Habits: ① Eating celery stalks but not the leaves. ② Discarding the juice from cucumber salads. ③ Eating the flesh of eggplant but not the skin. ④ Mixing wine with Sprite. ⑤ Drinking strong tea after alcohol. ⑥ Vegetable juice being better than vegetables.
① Eating celery stalks but not the leaves
The vitamin B1 content in celery leaves is 17 times that of the stalks, the vitamin C content is 13 times, the protein content is 11 times, and the calcium content is twice that of the stalks... It's not a good deal to only eat the celery stalks and not the leaves.
② Discarding the juice from cucumber salads
When making cucumber salads, people often like to salt them first to draw out the juice before eating. What they don't realize is that the vitamin C content in cucumber juice accounts for more than 80% of the total. Discarding the extracted juice is the biggest waste.

③ Eating the flesh of eggplant but not the skin
The skin of the eggplant has the highest content of vitamin PP. Vitamin PP can enhance the adhesion between bacteria in the human body, maintain the toughness of capillaries, and prevent them from rupturing. Regular consumption has a good therapeutic effect on hypertension, arteriosclerosis, hemoptysis, and skin purpura.
④ Mixing wine with Sprite
Some people mix Sprite and wine together to drink. This method destroys the original flavor of the wine, which is a real pity.
⑤ Drinking strong tea after alcohol
Some people believe that drinking strong tea after alcohol can sober them up, but this is not the case. Drinking tea after alcohol not only fails to sober you up, but it can also cause damage to the kidneys. Theophylline can also inhibit the absorption of iron by the small intestine.
⑥ Vegetable juice being better than vegetables
With the popularization of juicers, drinking vegetable juice has become prevalent. Because vegetable juice removes the fiber tissue of vegetables, it loses the role that fiber should play. If children with poor digestive systems only drink vegetable juice for a long time, it will have an adverse effect on their digestive organs. In addition, air is mixed into the vegetable juice during the processing process. The oxygen in the air can promote the oxidation of the nutritional components of the vegetables, leading to a reduction in nutritional value.
