A hot pot to solve a thousand worries! In the cold winter months, hot pot is an indispensable delicacy, and everyone eats together for a while and the whole body is hot.
But there are also many friends worried that eating hot pot often will gain weight, how to eat hot pot is healthier? About shabu-shabu, in fact, there are really a lot of exquisite, so let's take a look at it with Teacher Gu.
First, can the shabu-shabu "seven up and eight down" can be eaten?
OK.
The taste of hairy belly is more chewy and is a must-have for many people. But if it is too long to eat, it will be like a "rubber band", and it will not taste good. Folklore says that eating hairy belly should be "seven up and eight down", a total of 15 to 20 seconds on the line. Is it possible to eat it this way? Is it safe?
Some friends will worry about parasites in the hairy belly, thinking that the time of shabu 15 to 20 seconds is too short, may not kill the parasites and bacteria, and will diarrhea after eating.
According to the FDA's tips on parasites, it is mentioned that the temperature above 63 ° C can be maintained for 15 seconds to kill ordinary parasites, and 15 seconds is also in line with the corresponding time of "seven up and eight down". For ordinary slices of meat, the thinner the cut, the easier it is to cook, and the hair belly itself is also relatively thin, so it is also very well cooked.

Although "seven up and eight down" is OK, the premise is to handle the ingredients, clean them, and wait for the water to boil before going down, which will be safer.
If you're still worried and don't mind that the taste of the tripe will be a little older, take a little more time.
Second, the hot pot is the best to eat while it is hot?
Not recommended.
Many people like to eat hot pot when eating hot, because it will be more fragrant when eating it, and the aroma can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices to enhance appetite. However, for health reasons, it is recommended to wait a little longer before eating.
Because the mucosa of the esophagus is more delicate than the mucosa of the oral cavity, eating food that feels hot in the mouth may burn the esophagus when swallowed.
The oral mucosa is heat-resistant to 65 ° C, while the temperature of the bubbling hot pot just out of the food is almost close to 100 ° C.
If you are accustomed to eating hot food regularly, the esophagus is always in a cycle of "damage-repair-damage-repair", and it may eventually develop into esophageal cancer.
According to statistics, there are more than 400,000 new cases of esophageal cancer in the world every year, 63% of which come from China, and about 150,000 people die of esophageal cancer in China every year.
Therefore, don't rush to eat the hot pot ingredients that have just been prepared, wait a little while to warm up before eating, especially frozen tofu, in case you eat hot, you would rather spit it out than swallow it.
In addition, for friends who love to drink hot drinks, it should also be noted that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization clearly put forward that drinking hot drinks above 65 ° C has a risk of carcinogenicity.
Third, duck blood toxins, still very dirty?
Not.
Many friends actually like to eat duck blood, but they dare not order it in the hot pot restaurant, because they are worried about the toxins or worry about the duck blood in the hot pot shop.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this aspect.
The metabolic waste produced by duck cells and the toxic substances absorbed into the blood will be transported to the liver for metabolism and detoxification, so everyone feels that duck blood has a lot of "toxins".
The fact is that the blood of healthy ducks is clean, and the standard "NY/T 3471-2019 Technical Specification for Blood Collection of Livestock and Poultry" stipulates that blood collection must be inspected and quarantined after it is collected, and can be further processed after passing.
Standard NY/T 3471-2019 also has clear requirements for the slaughtering process, such as blood must not be in contact with livestock and poultry slaughter bodies, intestinal contents, and water, hair feathers, chyme, etc. are not allowed to enter the blood.
In addition, in order to avoid the breeding of microorganisms in large quantities, the collected blood should be transported to the factory in the cold chain; the processing process should also be sterilized at high temperature. The bigger the brand, the stricter the control of food safety details.
So as long as it is duck blood sold in a regular hot pot restaurant, there will not be so many toxins, and it is not as dirty as everyone thinks, so if you want to eat it, rest assured.

Before going to Chongqing on a business trip to eat hot pot, one person first came to a jar of sesame blended oil, about 60 ml, all ate more than 540 kcal of calories, equivalent to eating an extra meal.
Therefore, it is more recommended to add some clear soup, vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, coriander, and celery crushed in sesame sauce or sesame oil, and mix it up before eating. In addition, the salt content of leek flowers and tofu milk is too high, and you have to eat less.
4. Fewer balls
