The first step to health

Choosing the right partner is important

1. Soup base

Prefer clear soup pots, mushroom pots, tomato pots, etc., and choose less broth (purines, high fat) and butter spicy (high calories, high salt) pot bottom.

Many diners like to drink a mouthful of hot pot soup base, the soup base can not be drunk depends on the situation: clear soup, mushroom soup and other "vegetarian" soup base, the first boiling, you can drink some appropriately, long boiled soup base is not recommended to drink; meat soup base, purine, fat content is higher, there is gout, dyslipidemia friends are not recommended to drink.

2. Dipping sauce

The taste of the hot pot is equal to high-quality ingredients + soup base + soul dipping sauce. Diners who usually eat lightly can try the oil and vinegar sauce, and then add some green onions, garlic paste, and coriander. If you choose heavy oil and salt dipping sauce such as sesame sauce, shacha sauce, and spicy sauce, you can take less, and then put some hot water to dilute it, and the taste is also good.

3. Order of shabu-shabu

First shabu vegetables and then shabu-shabu. If you first shabu-shabu, the soup will inevitably leave excess fat, at this time put the dish, the excess oil will be adsorbed by the vegetables. In addition, eating some vegetables first is also conducive to satiety, which can effectively avoid eating a large amount of meat.

The recommended ratio of meat and vegetables is 2:1 or 3:1. While eating the hot pot, you should regularly scoop out the foam and grease in the soup, and add some boiling water to it. In addition, vegetables are not easy to shabu for too long, to avoid a large number of nutrients are destroyed, but the meat must be surrobbed for a long time, cooked and then eaten, otherwise bacteria or parasites can not be completely killed, may cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal discomfort.

4. Hot pot balls

Most of the hot pot balls are made of minced fish, starch, edible gelatin, and other additives with corresponding flavors. Many low-priced shrimp balls and crab balls do not even contain shrimp or crab meat, but add seafood seasoning powder and so on.

This type of bionic food is a new type of food made from artificial raw materials to resemble the taste of natural food. It only imitates natural marine food in appearance and taste, but its nutritional value is far from that of native marine food. Most of the nutrients are provided by starch, not only the nutritional value is not high, but also easy to exceed the energy standard when eating too much.

5. Drinks

"Happy Fat House Water" Coke and other sodas can also drive the atmosphere when eating hot pot, just out of the pot of hot and spicy ingredients coupled with ice Coke, the taste buds "dance" immediately gentle a lot. However, as a reminder, it is best to choose a drink that is at room temperature or warm. After eating hot dishes, the gastrointestinal system expands, followed by immediately drinking cold drinks, the original warm stomach is suddenly stimulated by cold, which is easy to lead to gastrointestinal disorders; in addition, sugar-free drinks can also be preferred to reduce excess energy and sugar intake.

In fact, warm water, light tea water, light lemonade, cucumber juice, etc. are all good choices, clear mouth and dissolve.

Eat hot pot should be slow and not hot, hot pot boiling cooked ingredients temperature can be as high as 120 ° C, and the mouth, esophagus and gastric mucosa can generally only tolerate a temperature of about 50 ° C, the import temperature is too high easy to burn the mucous membrane, affecting the next meal of happiness.

If you choose the taste of the hot pot when eating spicy, salty, oily, remember to drink more water, the next day's diet is light, you can choose easy to digest animal food, and pay attention to cooking methods, steaming, fast frying is appropriate, you can also choose more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, scrape oil water, reduce the burden of the gastrointestinal tract.

Finally, remind all diners that there is no beauty or evil, it will become a disaster, the hot pot is the most suitable to eat seven or eight points full, and the shabu-shabu time should not be too long.
