What's good for midnight snack? Some people think that instant noodles are convenient and simple, and it is not easy to gain weight.

In fact, instant noodles have high oil content, unbalanced nutrition and high calories. A bowl of instant noodles has 500 calories! Some fried foods have higher fat content. For those who want to keep slim, you should avoid it, and even dare not take a midnight snack!

Blacklist: instant noodles, stinky tofu, salted and crisp chicken, pot-stewed flavor;

Soup and porridge have a light taste and are good for digestion. Porridge soup contains a lot of water, so it is particularly easy to feel full after drinking, and it will not be excessive. Low oil content, low calorie and low fat. It is the best choice for warm-up and midnight snack.

Brown rice and cereal are best for women.

Brown rice and cereals are rich in nutrition. Brown rice is high in fiber, calcium and fat. In addition to high calcium and low fat, cereal is also rich in vitamins A and B that women need most, as well as iron and folic acid. Some cereals are advertised as sugar-free, which is most suitable for women who want to exercise and supplement nutrition.

Sugar water uses rock sugar instead of sucrose.

Try not to add sugar when drinking soup or sweet soup. If it must be sweet, using rock sugar instead of sucrose can greatly reduce calories. If you want to drink sugar water bought directly from outside, you can add some water to dilute the sugar content.

If there are too many ingredients such as glutinous rice balls in sugar water, there will be excess calories. After all, it's good to stay up late in winter to keep out the cold, so don't eat too much! Or you can add some health herbs such as longan, medlar and red dates, which are good for your health.

2. Note: ≤ 1 bowl

Whether it is soup or porridge, at most 1 bowl at a time. The size of the bowl is the same as the rice bowl you usually eat at home. Don't be too greedy and don't deceive yourself. 1 The calorie of a bowl of porridge is generally below 100 calories, so as a measure, even if you eat other foods, you can't exceed this calorie.

3. Special warning: 1 hour don't eat midnight snack and don't sleep.

Although these midnight snacks are not high in calories, if you hide by the bed immediately after eating, all the food will be hoarded in your stomach, which will also cause obesity. Therefore, it is recommended that you eat midnight snack 1 hour before going to bed!

Eating supper often has four hazards to people's health:

The peak of calcium excretion is usually 4-5 hours after eating. If you eat dinner too late, when the peak of calcium excretion comes, people have gone to bed and fallen asleep, and urine will remain in the urinary tract such as ureter, bladder, urethra, etc., which will not be excreted in time, resulting in an increasing calcium content in urine and easy deposition to form small crystals. Over time, it will gradually expand to form stones.

What else can cause stones? Sitting and eating snacks after meals is easy to bury the hidden danger of gallstones; Gallstones produced by snacks; Eating too late is easy to get gallstones.

Hazard 2 midnight snack is better. Although rich in nutrition, it also exposes another problem, that is, how to consume nutrition. According to scientific research reports, eating a lot of high-protein foods such as meat, eggs and milk at midnight will increase the amount of calcium in urine, on the one hand, it will reduce the storage of calcium in the body and induce rickets in children, myopia in adolescents and osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly people, on the other hand, high calcium concentration in urine will greatly increase the possibility of urinary calculi. Moreover, if protein is ingested too much, it will stay in the intestine if it is not absorbed by the human body, and it will deteriorate to produce toxins such as ammonia, indole and hydrogen sulfide, which will stimulate the intestinal wall and induce cancer. Coupled with drinking, it is easier to become attached to "alcoholic fatty liver".

Although everyone is asking for calcium supplementation now, it is really not a good thing to have too much calcium.

Hazard 3: I often like to eat supper. If I eat high-fat and high-protein food, it is easy to make the blood lipid in the human body suddenly rise. Human blood tends to maintain a high fat content at night. Eating too much at night, or eating frequently and repeatedly, will lead to a significant increase in blood cholesterol synthesized by the liver and stimulate the liver to produce more low-density lipoprotein. Carrying too much cholesterol to the arterial wall (including penile artery) has also become one of the causes of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and impotence.

At the same time, because of the long-term satiety at midnight, it will repeatedly stimulate islets and increase insulin secretion. Over time, it will cause the function of β cells to secrete insulin to decline, or even decline ahead of schedule, resulting in diabetes. These diseases will affect sexual function and lead to a decline in sexual ability.

Eating too much will not only make your figure out of shape, but also keep you alive.

The harm of supper, overeating will make the stomach swell and oppress the surrounding organs. After meals, the intense work of the stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs will send information to the brain, which will cause the brain to be active and spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex, causing insomnia.

Therefore, the best way to maintain health is not to eat supper or eat less supper. If you really need to supplement nutrition at night, the best choice is carbohydrates, namely starch and sugar. Because this kind of food can indirectly improve the chemical reaction of the brain, make the body secrete insulin, thus playing a role in calming the nerves, especially beneficial to insomnia.

Tip: Don't eat meat after eating peanuts and edamame at midnight.

Adding mutton skewers to several side dishes is probably the most familiar "mode" for most men. But many Japanese like to eat peanuts and edamame as side dishes with mutton kebabs. They think that barbecue has a high fat content and can be neutralized by vegetarian food such as peanuts and edamame, which is absolutely in line with the principle of matching vegetarian food with vegetarian food.

Actually, it's just the opposite. Especially for the "three highs" crowd, this collocation is "adding mistakes to mistakes".

Meat contains a lot of protein and fat, but peanuts and edamame are not worse than meat. Peanuts used to extract oil have higher fat content than some meats. Therefore, if you can eat 10 skewers at ordinary times, the calories are already higher than 5 bowls of rice, plus a plate of peanuts and a plate of edamame, the calories are greatly exceeded. However, it is a good choice to replace part of barbecue with peanuts, which not only controls the total calories, but also provides a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which has the function of "reducing blood fat".

In addition, foods with high oil content such as instant noodles and sesame cakes should also be avoided as much as possible. If conditions permit, low-fat milk with soda crackers, light noodle soup or red bean soup and mung bean soup are all good choices.
