(1) Hot-pot dipping sauces have high calorie content
Many people don't realize that hot-pot dipping sauces, whether it's sesame sauce and chives or sesame oil and garlic sauce, sriracha, or hot-pot sauce, have a very high fat content, which is very stimulating for the intestines and stomach, and people who want to lose weight should be especially aware of this. If you choose to add less sesame oil and sesame sauce, add fresh soy sauce and vinegar, the heat of the dipping sauce can be greatly reduced, can be avoided on the gastrointestinal stimulation.

In addition, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar higher people have to control the saltiness of the dipping sauce, because too much salt is very harmful to the heart and kidneys.
(2) Drink hot pot soup before it's too late
Many people believe that the nutrients from vegetables and meat have already penetrated into the soup during the process of shabu-shabu, so hot pot soup is the most nutritious, and so they must drink all the soup at the end. However, while the nutrients dissolve into the soup, the saturated fat in the beef and mutton and the nitrites and oxalic acid in the vegetables also enter the hot pot soup at the same time. Therefore, the soup should take advantage of the early, wait until the soup has been boiling for an hour or two, the surface of the floating oil content is very high, the nitrite content rises greatly, it is not appropriate to drink a lot of soup.
The leftover shabu-shabu ingredients and broth should be poured away if you can't finish them all at once. If they are placed in the copper hotpot overnight, they should not be eaten, as they are not only harmful to health, but may also cause acute poisoning by copper oxides.
(3) Don't eat raw potatoes
When eating hot pot, many people like to eat raw vegetables, which is good for nutrient absorption, such as lettuce and corns. This is a healthy way to eat, because beef and mutton is easy to fire food, raw vegetables can make a meal in the food of the cool heat more balanced. Sweet potatoes eaten raw have a lower starch digestibility and less calorie absorption, which is not detrimental to health in general. However, people with weak gastrointestinal function should avoid eating raw starchy foods because they are harder to digest. In addition, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of washing raw food.
(4) Eating vegetables in a pot should be done properly
The fire should be strong and appropriate, and the bottom of the pot should be on fire to keep the soup boiling in the pot. If the food is cooked for too long in the pot, the nutrients will be destroyed and it will be easy to lose the fresh flavor; if you don't wait for the pot to boil and eat it, the germs and parasite eggs will not be completely killed, and it will be easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
(5) Jealous of the most fresh half-cooked
For the pursuit of fresh, crisp and smooth taste, food in the hot pot hot to eat. This real damage: this way of eating in addition to cause indigestion, hidden in the food of bacteria, parasites eggs will be swallowed with the food into the stomach and intestines, thus leading to the occurrence of disease. According to research, three serious parasitic diseases - trichinella, tapeworm and cysticercus - can be transmitted through hot pot. Unclean pork and beef slices are likely to contain all three types of parasites. It is not certain whether trichinella, tapeworm and cysticercus are present in mutton, but there have been reports of people getting trichinosis from eating shabu-shabu. If you get parasitic disease, you will be weak, have muscle aches and pains, your body will be swollen, and sometimes your feet will tingle when you step on the ground.
When eating hot pot, be sure to slice the meat thinly and blanch it more often, and when shabu-shabuing slices of pork or beef, be sure to shabu-shabu it before eating it. Also look for white, rice-like material on the slices of meat; if so, they may be cysticercus eggs.
(6) Uncooked enoki mushrooms are easy to poison
Fresh enoki mushrooms contain colchicine, which is easily oxidized and produces poisonous dicolchicine, which has a strong stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal and respiratory mucous membranes. Symptoms such as dry throat, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea usually occur within 30 minutes to 4 hours of consumption. After a large amount of consumption, it may also cause fever, water-electrolyte balance disorders, blood in the stool, blood in the urine and other serious symptoms.
Colchicine is soluble in water and can be destroyed after sufficient heating, so before eating fresh enoki mushrooms, they should be soaked in cold water for two hours; when cooking, the enoki mushrooms should be boiled softly and cooked, so that the colchicine can be decomposed by the heat; when cold, in addition to soaking them in cold water, they should be blanched with boiling water, so that it is cooked through. In addition, the market sale of dried enoki mushrooms or enoki canned mushrooms, in which the colchicine has been destroyed, can be safely eaten.
Also, enoki mushrooms are not for everyone. Traditional medicine believes that mushrooms are cold, cold spleen and stomach, chronic diarrhea should be eaten sparingly; arthritis, lupus patients should also be careful to eat, so as not to aggravate the condition.
(7) avoid eating too hot
The hot hot pot in the delicious a clip up to send straight to the mouth, hot tongue numb forehead sweating shouting addiction, and beautifully called: "a hot when three fresh".
And its real damage: oral cavity, esophagus and gastric mucosa can only tolerate a temperature of 50 ℃, too hot food, will damage the mucosa, and hot pot soup temperature can be as high as 120 ℃, take out that is eaten, it is easy to scald the oral cavity, tongue, esophagus, as well as the stomach's mucosa. Some people who have recurrent mouth sores, eat hot pot is easy to fire, the chance of mouth sores so many times more, or the original oral mucosal inflammation aggravated symptoms.
These are the most common causes of cancer in the esophagus, and the most common cause of cancer is the lack of a cure. The most dangerous are those who suffer from oral mucosal leukoplakia or lichen planus and other pre-cancerous lesions, the hot pot's high temperature and the stimulation of the seasoning, will make these conditions worse.
Eating hot pot must not be hasty, from the hot pot to take out the food to the amount of small, and wait for cooling down after the entrance is appropriate. It should be done "rather give up three fresh, not too hot".
(8) Don't eat cold and hot food together
The hot pot is a favorite way for many people to eat hot pot, which is known as "neutralization". The real damage: cold and hot, on the gastric mucosa is extremely unfavorable, very easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases. Eating hot pot should try to avoid drinking cold drinks.
(9) avoid eating too spicy:
At the mention of hot pot, spicy and hot and hot flavors always become the first choice, because that is spicy sweaty feeling is too much. Such a real damage: spicy hot pot on the stomach and intestines of the killing power is not difficult to imagine. Hot pot spicy flavor is the first stimulation of the esophagus, and then quickly through the stomach, small intestine, etc., serious stimulation of gastrointestinal wall mucosa, causing stomach acid and flatulence, in addition to easily triggered esophagitis, gastritis, diarrhea is also inevitable. Have constipation or hemorrhoids "precursor" of the office family, eat hot pot more to be merciful. Otherwise, hemorrhoid patients are prone to stimulation around the anus sphincter muscle overcongestion and recurrence, constipation patients will therefore more "add blockage".
Despite the fact that everyone has a different tolerance for spicy, but for the sake of the intestines, the doctor believes that, and spicy hot pot or eat less for the better; do not eat too much at once, and try to adjust the seasoning to the slightly spicy, less hot pot hot soup. In addition, after eating hot pot to drink more boiled water or strong tea, in order to dilute the spicy juice, reduce the stimulation of the stomach and intestines, so that the stomach and intestines will be more comfortable. Once there is any discomfort, rush to drink some light drinks such as thin rice porridge or milk to protect the intestinal and gastrointestinal walls.
(10) pay attention to food allergies
Triggered anaphylactic reaction of the patient is mostly eaten seafood hot pot excess, especially some outsiders, shrimp, crab, shrimp mayflies and other sweet and fresh raw seafood "love mouth", eating triggered by the whole body itching.
So for some allergy-prone food in moderation and stop, not too greedy.
(11) Don't cook for more than an hour and a half
When the hot pot is cooked for an hour, a large amount of nitrites, which are not good for your health, will be produced, which, combined with the amines released by the meat during the prolonged high-temperature cooking process, will also lead to the formation of carcinogenic substances called "nitrosamines". Although some experts feel that this conclusion is a bit sensational, that the content of nitrites in the hot pot is not high, however, the hot pot shabu long time, in which the food is repeatedly boiled, not only no nutrition, but also produce health hazards, is recognized by many experts.
In fact, nitrites are present in most foods and their solubility is very good, so the longer the hotpot is cooked, the more nitrites are dissolved in the soup. According to the test results of the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, when the hotpot was boiled for one hour and one and a half hours, the nitrite content in the hotpot soup exceeded 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, respectively. Although China has not yet set a standard for nitrite limits in hot pot soup, it has set an upper limit of 20 mg/kg in pickled sauces.
In addition, although the food we use for hot pot, including beef and lamb, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, animal offal and so on, is rich in nutrients, after a long time of boiling, most of the nutrients in it have long been destroyed and dissolved into the hot pot soup. In other words, the longer the food in the hotpot is boiled, the lower its nutritional value, and even shabu-shabu to the end, what you eat in your mouth may be junk food with no nutritional value. For foods that are high in vitamin C, the constant high-temperature cooking in hot pots has a greater impact on their nutritional value, while vitamin C happens to inhibit the production of carcinogens such as nitrosamines.
Some people think that since the nutrients are dissolved into the soup, we drink hot pot soup is not on the line? In fact, in addition to the nutrients in the hot pot soup, but also contains a lot of harmful substances. Food contained in the "purine" mostly dissolved in the soup, the human body ingested by the liver metabolism, will produce a lot of nitric acid, harmful to the human body. According to the test, every 100 milliliters of hot pot soup contains 160-400 mg of purine, excess purine if you can not be discharged from the body, will be deposited in the blood, causing gout, and even lead to kidney failure.
In order to make up for the nutrients destroyed by the food in the hot pot, it's best to go with some raw fruits and vegetables. In addition, you can also drink tea or eat some garlic, which contains tea polyphenols and allicin can prevent the formation of nitrosamines, and has a certain detoxification effect.
