1. Maintain proper posture during meals: Sit upright while eating to avoid putting pressure on the stomach, allowing food to enter the stomach quickly from the esophagus.
2. Keep meal intervals appropriate: Generally, an interval of 4-6 hours between meals is advisable.
3. Avoid eating when extremely hungry: Hunger can lead to a strong appetite, causing you to eat too much at once, which can result in obesity.
4. Don't overeat: If you eat your favorite foods first, the emotional satisfaction will make you feel full faster, thus avoiding overeating.
5. Chew slowly: Chewing slowly helps with digestion.
6. Avoid mental activity after meals: After eating, the stomach needs concentrated blood for digestion. It is best to listen to light music and rest for a while. If you use your brain right after a meal, blood flows to the head, leaving less blood for the gastrointestinal tract, which can easily affect digestion.
7. Dinner should not be excessive: Dinner should consist of simple, easily digestible foods, and excessive intake should be strictly controlled. This is essential for controlling weight and losing weight.
8. Don't talk about things unrelated to eating during meals: Discussing complex or depressing topics can affect a person's appetite.
9. Pay attention to nutritional balance: The three daily meals should be nutritionally balanced, and repetition of the same menu should be avoided.
10. Ensure a good breakfast: Without a good breakfast, the body cannot maintain its minimum blood sugar level, and you won't have the energy to study or work effectively.
11. Prefer hot food for breakfast: The morning is when the autonomic and parasympathetic nerves transition to the sympathetic nervous system. Hot food can raise body temperature, promote this transition, and increase appetite.
12. It's good to drink tea after meals: The main component of tea, tannic acid, has a bactericidal and disinfectant effect, and its plant saponins can clean food residue from the mouth.
13. Exercise appropriately after meals: This can increase cell vitality, reduce fat accumulation, and prevent obesity.
14. Avoid cold drinks at night: The body's water metabolism is less active at night. Eating cold drinks after 7 PM can lead to water retention in the body due to slow metabolism, lowering body temperature and making it difficult to relieve fatigue.
15. Be moderate with dinner: A moderate dinner ensures you'll have an appetite for breakfast the next day.
16. Don't eat before bedtime: Eating before bed prevents the stomach and intestines from resting fully, which can easily lead to stomach problems and affect sleep. However, drinking a glass of warm milk before bed is acceptable.
17. Don't eat sweets after greasy food: After eating greasy food, the body's fat tissue absorbs excess glucose and starch, leading to obesity.
18. Drink coffee or tea after greasy food: Tea and coffee contain caffeine, which can stimulate the autonomic nervous system and promote fat metabolism.
19. Be innovative with flavors: This can enhance appetite and help supplement the various nutrients the body needs.
20. Don't consume too much salt: Excessive salt intake can easily lead to high blood pressure.
21. Eat more dark-colored vegetables: Dark-colored vegetables are richer in nutrients like carotene, vitamin B2, magnesium, and iron than lighter-colored ones.
22. Children's diets should not be the same as adults': A child's diet should be nutritionally comprehensive, with special attention to nutrients that are beneficial for growth.
23. Don't be picky about food: Being a picky eater can lead to nutritional imbalances.
24. Don't consume vegetable oil for long periods: Peanut oil and corn oil can easily be contaminated with aflatoxin, a potent carcinogen. Erucic acid in rapeseed oil is not good for the health of people with high blood pressure or heart disease. The correct oil usage should be one part vegetable oil to 0.7 parts animal oil.
25. Don't be afraid of eating vegetable residue: Fiber promotes intestinal peristalsis, expels harmful substances, and prevents colon cancer. If vegetable residue is not too tough, it should be swallowed.
26. Listen to elegant music during meals: Elegant music can enhance the function of the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting digestion and absorption. However, avoid music that is too jumpy, turbulent, or has a fast beat.
27. Change your eating habits frequently: Eating the same things in the same way every day will eventually lead to nutritional imbalances, so it's important to diversify.
28. Avoid watching TV (or reading) while eating: Reading or watching TV can prolong mealtime, leading to overeating without realizing it. It also distracts you, preventing you from fully appreciating the taste of the food.
29. Be cheerful while eating: Anger, tension, sadness, and worry can weaken the function of digestion and absorption, and also affect the sense of taste.
30. Eating together is better than eating alone: Individual portions can easily lead to nutritional imbalances. When eating with others, there are more varieties, and eating a little of each can easily achieve nutritional balance.
31. It's best to consume calcium with vinegar: Vinegar can ionize calcium, making it easier for the body to absorb. It's best to cook fish and bone foods with vinegar.
32. Eat fiber-rich food every day: When the body absorbs excess fat and protein, they can become harmful腐败物 when acted upon by E. coli. Fiber can surround and expel these substances.
33. Eat something before drinking alcohol: Drinking on an empty stomach puts a heavy burden on the liver. A lack of vitamin B and amino acids can easily lead to fat accumulation in the liver. Eating something and drinking water before alcohol can also prevent drunkenness.
34. Those with a weak constitution can eat more meat: Meat is rich in protein and can strengthen the body.
35. Try to eat harder foods: Eating hard foods can effectively exercise the gums and palate muscles and also promote the secretion of digestive juices.
36. Try to avoid loud noises: Loud noises can excite the nerves and weaken gastrointestinal function. Over time, this can lead to loss of appetite and stomach ulcers.
37. Don't eat while standing: When standing, the sympathetic nervous system is active, which can inhibit the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract. This is often a cause of gastroptosis, gastric dilatation, and chronic gastritis.
38. Don't eat scalding hot food: Frequently eating very hot food can easily damage the esophagus and stomach.
39. Eat at your own pace: When eating with others, don't follow their pace. Only by eating at your own pace can your digestive function work to its full potential.
40. Don't consume too many condiments: A survey in the United States shows that natural condiments like pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel have certain mutagenic and toxic properties. Consuming too much can lead to abnormal changes in human cells, and side effects such as dry mouth, sore throat, listlessness, and insomnia. It can also induce high blood pressure and gastroenteritis.
