Does the size of the meal really have anything to do with the length of life? It may sound surprising, but scientific research tells us that the two are inextricably linked.
Let's start with an interesting experiment. Scientists in the United States set different meal sizes for mice, and after four years of observation, they found an astonishing phenomenon: those mice that ate less lived much longer than those that ate casually. In particular, the mice that ate at a certain time had a 35 percent longer lifespan! This is really a big discovery, and it makes us start to think: Do we have to have a degree of eating?
Isn't it the same with humans? Scientists have done similar research on us humans. After two years of volunteering, they were able to eat eight minutes a day, and after two years, their physical and mental state improved, their memory improved, and their chances of getting sick decreased. It seems that our human bodies also like to "eat less and eat more"!
So, how can we "eat less" in our daily lives? Here are a few tips to share.
We need to arrange three meals reasonably. Eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, and eat less in the evening. You can eat some nutritious foods for breakfast, such as eggs, milk, whole wheat bread, etc., you can eat a little more for lunch, but you should also avoid overeating, and try to eat as little as possible for dinner, especially those greasy, high-calorie foods, which you can skip and eat.
We can try to change the order of eating. Eat some vegetables, meat, and then staple foods. In this way, our stomachs will be full before we know it, and our calorie intake will be relatively low.
What kind of food you choose is also important. We should try to eat those natural, unprocessed foods, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc. And those overprocessed foods, such as fried chicken, chips, biscuits, etc., try to eat less or no food. Because these foods tend to be high in calories and additives, they are not good for our body.
In addition to paying attention to food choices, we also need to develop good eating habits. For example, when eating, you should chew slowly and do not gobble up, use a smaller bowl or plate to serve rice, so that it looks like more but actually eat less, and concentrate on eating, do not eat while looking at your phone or TV, so that it is easy to eat more.
Through these methods, we can gradually control the amount of food we eat and make our body healthier. Of course, this does not mean that we should live hungry, but we must reasonably control the amount of food under the premise of ensuring adequate nutrition. In this way, we can not only enjoy the pleasure of food, but also have a healthy and long-lived body.
Eating is simple and simple, and complicated and complicated. The simple thing is that as long as we master the right method, we can easily control the amount of food, and the complex thing is that we need to overcome our own desires and habits in order to truly "eat less". But in any case, for the sake of our own health and longevity, we should still try hard. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution!
From now on, let's take action together, arrange our diet reasonably, control the amount of food, and enjoy a healthy and long life!
