Xiao Ming, he, is an authentic foodie, what is delicious and what to eat, and he never taboos it. One day, Xiao Ming went to a health lecture, and the lecturer said: "Chinese food is broad and profound, but some ways to eat it are actually quite harmful. When Xiao Ming heard this, he chuckled in his heart and thought, "Is my foodie career coming to an end?"
The lecturer continued: "For example, overeating, excessive oiliness, and preference for spicy food are not good for the body in the long run. When Xiao Ming heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, because he almost accounted for all of these habits. He secretly made up his mind that he had to change.
After the lecture, Xiao Ming pondered in his heart: "Chinese food has been named? It seems that I have to re-examine my eating habits." He decided to gradually change these unhealthy eating patterns from now on. As for how he changes and whether he can succeed, let's talk about it later!

Chinese often say: "People take food as the sky", this sentence not only expresses the importance of food to life, but also reflects our love and pursuit of food.
However, with the acceleration of the pace of modern life, many people's eating habits have gradually deviated from the track of health, and some seemingly daily and common eating patterns are actually quietly harming our physical health.
Staples that are too delicate are a common problem on the table in many Chinese families. Most of the rice, whether it is rice in the south or pasta in the north, has been carefully processed, resulting in a large loss of nutrients such as dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins.
At the same time, the intake of whole grains is well below the recommended limit. Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber and a variety of nutrients, which play an important role in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and controlling weight.
However, due to reasons such as taste and cooking habits, whole grains do not make up a high proportion of the diet of mainland residents.
Second, the high-salt diet is also a major problem in the diet of Chinese. According to the survey on the nutritional status of Chinese residents, the daily salt intake of mainland adults is generally high, far exceeding the recommended intake of the World Health Organization.
A high-salt diet not only increases the risk of high blood pressure, but is also strongly associated with a variety of diseases such as stomach cancer and kidney disease. Excessive salt intake can disrupt the balance of sodium and potassium in the body, causing a burden on the cardiovascular system and causing various health problems in the long run.
Four kinds of food that hurt the body
In our daily life, there are many delicious foods that people love, however, these seemingly tempting delicacies may actually hide health risks. Below, let's talk about four common foods that hurt the body.
The first is red meat. Red meat, such as pork, beef, lamb, etc., is the protagonist of many people's tables. However, excessive intake of red meat is strongly associated with the risk of developing diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
The fat content in red meat is high, and long-term consumption of large amounts can easily lead to fat accumulation, which in turn leads to obesity and dyslipidemia. In addition, red meat is also high in iron, and excessive intake may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, we should control the intake of red meat in our daily diet to maintain a balanced diet.
This is followed by salt. Salt is an essential condiment in cooking, but excessive salt intake can have serious health effects. A high-salt diet not only increases the risk of high blood pressure, but is also linked to a variety of diseases such as stomach cancer and kidney disease.
Therefore, we should try to control the amount of salt used in our daily diet and avoid excessive salt intake. Salt intake can be reduced by using a salt limiting spoon and choosing low-salt condiments.
Let's talk about processed meat. Processed meat products, such as ham and bacon, are loved by people for their unique flavor and texture.
However, there are health risks behind these delicacies. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen, and excessive consumption may increase the risk of cancer.
Therefore, we should minimize the intake of processed meat products in our daily lives and choose healthier meat alternatives.
Last but not least, oil. Fats and oils are one of the essential nutrients for the human body, but excessive intake of fats and fats can have negative health effects. The Dietary Guidelines for Mainland Residents suggest that the daily intake of cooking oil should be controlled within a certain range.
However, many people often struggle to do this due to their cooking habits and personal tastes. Excessive fat intake not only leads to obesity and dyslipidemia, but may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, we should try to choose healthy sources of oil, such as olive oil, rapeseed oil, etc., when cooking, and control the amount of oil used.
