"Today's sunshine is so good, it's a good time to go out and play badminton!" Zhao Ying shouted to her family as she tied her sneakers.
Zhao Ying is a high school history teacher who usually has a lot of work pressure, and likes to play outdoor sports with her family on weekends to relax.
The sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining warmly on my body. A family of three played badminton on the lawn of the community.
Zhao Ying's technique is flexible, hitting the badminton out of a lofty arc again and again. However, in a moment of chasing the ball, Zhao Ying accidentally sprained her ankle, and the pain was so painful that she could barely stand.
Her family rushed her to a community hospital for treatment. While dealing with a sprain, Zhao Ying heard the sound of a lecture from the multipurpose hall next to her, about healthy eating.
Curiosity drove her to sit in the back row of the lecture hall and listen earnestly.
The lecture was presented by Dr. Lee, a nutritionist who specializes in diabetes prevention. Dr. Li's explanation was humorous and quickly attracted Zhao Ying's full attention.
Dr. Lee began by mentioning a common misconception: "Many people think that soybeans cause blood sugar to rise, but this is a big misconception. ”
Dr. Lee elaborated that soybeans are a healthy ingredient rich in protein and fiber, and for most people, eating soy products in moderation will not cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, but will help control blood sugar.
Zhao Ying was quite surprised when she heard this, it turned out that her previous perception of soybeans was all wrong.
Dr. Lee then mentions three types of whole grains that are healthy but tend to be consumed in excess: millet, rye and buckwheat.
Dr. Lee explained that while each of the three whole grains has its own unique health benefits, such as millet being easy to digest and rich in magnesium and iron, rye is rich in dietary fibre and a variety of minerals.
Buckwheat, on the other hand, is a source of high-quality protein and is good for controlling blood pressure, but they are also not low in carbohydrates, and excessive consumption may indeed cause blood sugar to rise.
In terms of data, Dr. Lee provided a case study showing that prediabetic patients who overconsumed these whole grains significantly worsened their blood sugar levels without controlling their food intake.
He suggested that for this group of people, the intake of whole grains at each meal should be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian to avoid excessive fluctuations in blood sugar.
After Zhao Ying heard this, she suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. She recalled her family history of diabetes and realized that her diet might need to be adjusted as well.
After the lecture, Zhao Ying decided to make changes to her eating habits, and also planned to organize a lecture on healthy eating at the school to make more students and parents aware of the importance of a reasonable diet.
And in the process, Zhao Ying began to notice her own blood sugar levels and pay attention to the blood sugar response after eating different foods.
In contemporary society, how to integrate the concept of modern scientific diet on the basis of respecting traditional food culture to promote the continuous improvement of public health?
In order to answer this question, we need to conduct a detailed analysis from multiple angles.
First of all, it is very important to respect traditional food culture because it is not only about people's food preferences, but also deeply rooted in the cultural identity of the community. Traditional foods are often full of historical and emotional values that cannot be ignored.
However, with the development of modern science, it is becoming increasingly clear that certain traditional eating habits may not be good for health, such as over-reliance on one type of food or cooking method can lead to nutritional imbalances.
Therefore, the concept of integrating modern scientific diet should first be based on the guidance of scientific research, and gradually guide the public to improve their eating habits through education and public policy.
For example, increasing public awareness and acceptance of healthy eating through school education programmes, community events, and media campaigns.
