Core Tip: It's human nature to love meat. To eat healthily, you must put effort into cooking and pairing. The following three tips may help you.
First: Try to use cooking methods that do not add extra oil, such as steaming, boiling, stewing, and roasting. Meat dishes can be delicious even when boiled or stewed simply. When cooking meat, use less salt, as meat is naturally high in sodium, so the dish should be seasoned lightly. After stewing, it's best to skim off the floating oil to reduce the intake of fat and cholesterol.
Second: It's best to cook meat with low-fat, high-fiber ingredients. This can reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the body. For example, fungi, algae, and vegetables are all good choices.
Third: Rich and delicious meat dishes are often high in fat, so they should not be consumed in excess. It's best to have just a taste. The Chinese Dietary Guidelines recommend a daily intake of only 50~75 grams of meat. When eating high-fat meat, you should also pair it with some low-fat dishes and staple foods to ensure that the daily fat intake does not exceed the recommended amount.
