Introduction: The relationship between people and food is not always a harmonious one. People can gain gustatory satisfaction and spiritual fulfillment through food, but it is not easy to achieve health through delicious food, because many delicacies are not healthy. Therefore, to be a healthy foodie requires cultivation.
The long holiday is approaching, are you ready to be a healthy foodie? From a dietary perspective, it can be revealed that China is a unified country. However, the relationship between people and food is not always a harmonious one. People can gain gustatory satisfaction and spiritual fulfillment through food, but it is not easy to achieve health through delicious food, because many delicacies are not healthy. Therefore, to be a healthy foodie requires cultivation.
Be a healthy foodie
Everyone understands that many human diseases are caused by what they eat. The four-character phrase "illness enters through the mouth" is absolutely profound, but people have heard it so many times that they have become numb. Nowadays, many people are obese, and physical exams reveal high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. Many of these diseases are closely related to diet. Fried foods and meat containing hormones are the biggest enemies of our health. Some people say that the joy of life lies in "eating, drinking, and having fun." This is not wrong, but a good body is the prerequisite for doing anything, so we must be a healthy foodie.
Pick up your vegetable basket and go to the early market to choose fresh, healthy ingredients. Cook a few dishes yourself following a recipe. The taste of it is wonderful. The ancients said, "Governing a great country is like cooking a small fish," I say, "Cooking a small fish is like governing a great country." Imagine, the body has so many parts, you need to cook food well and maintain the entire body, which is really not easy. To be a healthy foodie requires the wisdom of life.
Be a happy foodie
Mr. Zhao Yingli, a leisurely person in Beijing, once said that tasting tea is mainly about state of mind. Imagine, if you are sitting knee-to-knee with like-minded friends in a quiet and beautiful place, then even a glass of clear water can have infinite flavor. A few times, I went to Houhai with friends to eat super spicy chicken wings. The taste wasn't necessarily that good, but the sight of our swollen lips and teary eyes after eating would make everyone laugh heartily. Once, I went to a restaurant converted from a factory. The senior brother who took us said this was the restaurant from the TV series "Struggle." So, everyone felt that this restaurant was truly extraordinary.
Some people will definitely say that if I could eat and drink to my heart's content without getting bloated or fat, then I would be very happy.
Be a grateful foodie
When I was watching "A Bite of China," I cried. What moved me the most was: those poor and hardworking people, in order to obtain the gifts of nature, have paid hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine. An old man searching in the mountains for a day might not even find one matsutake mushroom. The man digging lotus roots in Jiayu, Hubei, gets up before dawn and spends five months sweating in the mud. Seeing this, I thought of the poem: "Hoeing the fields at noon, sweat drips to the earth." A grain of rice, a vegetable, is not easy to come by. We cannot waste just because we can afford it.
How to be a healthy foodie:
Reasonable diet, balanced nutrition
As the saying goes: "Men are made by what they eat, women are made by their sleep!" This is not actually true; eating and sleeping are equally important for both men and women. Brown rice, soybeans, green vegetables... these seemingly ordinary foods are treasures for health and beauty. A healthy foodie should not be too picky. China has eight major cuisines and N kinds of cooking methods. Any ingredient can be made into a delicious dish. Therefore, we should reasonably arrange our daily diet, with more variety and more reasonable combinations.
Less food, more meals
This is actually a very important prerequisite for a healthy foodie. Under normal circumstances, we should eat when we are hungry, and only until we are seven or eight-tenths full. We cannot overindulge in delicious food to the point of causing hiccups, bloating, vomiting, or diarrhea. Sometimes, people may lose their appetite, and in this case, they should not eat nothing at all. In short, the amount of food can be larger, but it should be in more meals, and at the right time.
Appropriate intake of carbohydrates
According to surveys on obesity around the world, it was found that in Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Italy, and Spain, the total dietary fat intake of their residents is on par with that of Americans, but their incidence of cardiovascular diseases is much lower than that of Americans.
In addition to ensuring physical exercise and sunlight, the most important point is that the residents in this region have a different eating habit. This special dietary structure emphasizes eating more vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, legumes, and nuts, followed by grains, and using vegetable oil instead of animal oil for cooking, while also consuming moderate amounts of red wine and aromatic plants like garlic. Therefore, nutritionists proposed the concept of the "Mediterranean diet." The Mediterranean diet not only emphasizes the balance of the three major nutrients, but also emphasizes that their sources are healthy.
As an essential nutrient, a certain amount of carbohydrate intake must be guaranteed. The human brain and heart muscle mainly use glucose as their energy source. If carbohydrates are not consumed at all, the metabolism of these organs will be affected.
