■Three taboos

One, avoid drinking unseasonal

Family and friends get together to drink is inevitable, but remember to persuade alcohol should not be too attentive. Although many people are not good at drinking, but in order to show hospitality, they frequently raise their glasses to persuade into. This practice not only hurt other people's stomachs, but also hurt their own bodies. The practice of "fighting wine" is even more undesirable, under the gas, often drinking too much, leading to "fire" on the body. Medical research shows that drinking too much alcohol will bring irreversible damage to a variety of organs such as liver, heart muscle, etc., it is not worth the loss. In particular, we have to remind you that drinking on an empty stomach is very harmful, and you should eat some milk, bread and other food before drinking.

Two, avoid overeating

One mention of overeating during the Spring Festival, perhaps people will not think - now life is so good, what to eat, how can anyone overeat? In fact, overeating is not only people eating too much, but also refers to people's "stormy" style of eating. During the Spring Festival, family and friends get together, often emotional excitement, emotional fluctuations. But excessive excitement is not conducive to the digestion of food, often cause disease, therefore, during the Spring Festival to maintain emotional stability, psychological balance, peace of mind, happy spirit, is conducive to eating healthy.

Three, avoid excessive hunting

During the Spring Festival, many people are tired of eating chicken, duck, fish and meat, and then racked their brains to eat some usually do not often eat things, want to change the taste, especially to some of the game for more. Such as eating some cat meat, rat meat, snake meat and so on. Experts pointed out that the flavor is not impossible, but also to the premise of safety. Quirky game is not common meat food, its quality is often difficult to get effective health quarantine. Seemingly "delicious" all kinds of game, carrying what pathogenic microorganisms and parasites, consumers are not known, the security risk is very large. Therefore, do not blindly hunting, gluttony wild.

■Eight notes

One, the dietary structure should be reasonable

Chinese New Year, feasts constantly, people will eat a lot of kinds of food. It is important to note that an irrational dietary structure can lead to health and safety hazards.

The human blood should remain slightly alkaline. If human blood is acidic, blood viscosity and cholesterol are higher, people will be easily fatigued, and at the same time resistance will be reduced. Meat dishes are almost always acidic. Therefore, the holiday diet should not eat only big fish and meat, there should be alkaline food to eat with. Vegetables and fruits are alkaline foods rich in calcium, magnesium and other mineral elements. The highest alkaline content of kelp, followed by bok choy, lettuce, lettuce, celery, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, radishes and so on.

China's residents' salt intake was originally on the high side, and salt intake during the holiday season tends to be even higher. Potassium is the nemesis of sodium, which helps the body expel excess sodium. Vegetables rich in potassium include seaweed, kelp, shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, pea shoots, lettuce, celery and so on.

Two, the food hidden danger to be vigilant

Deterioration of the environment led to pollution of agricultural and fishery products, there are some unscrupulous elements using harmful chemical agents to deal with agricultural and by-products, these factors will affect food safety. Although the overall situation of food safety is improving, consumers should remain vigilant. By learning and understanding the relevant knowledge, consumers will be able to select and pay attention when purchasing food. (This magazine has introduced many related food identification knowledge, will not repeat here)

Three, centralized purchasing do not care

While the usual food market is very rich, but many people still have the habit of centralized purchasing in the Spring Festival. Due to time, energy reasons, people this time shopping is often not careful enough to pick, some problematic food is also easy to take advantage of the situation. And merchants in large quantities of goods, but also in the quality of goods may be negligent in checking. Consumers should therefore be more careful in their purchases. Attention should also be paid to the choice of location for purchasing food. They should try to go to supermarkets, convenience stores and regular shopping malls instead of buying goods from small traders. Even in more secure locations such as supermarkets, you should choose foods from well-known brands whose quality you can trust.

Four, tableware selection should be safe

Chinese New Year party, many people will update the home tableware, tea set. Purchase of tableware, can not just look at the appearance of whether beautiful, and the safety of tableware can not be ignored.

Generally speaking, ceramic tableware in the tableware in the least toxic, but buy brightly colored tableware should pay attention to its lead content. Long-term use of substandard aluminum tableware, there are hidden risks of dementia. Iron tableware do not use rusty iron tableware. Stainless steel tableware is slightly toxic, which contains nickel, titanium is harmful to the human body. Purchase of plastic tableware should be as far as possible to choose not to decorate or less patterned products.

Fifth, the production process should be carefully

Production is to ensure food safety is an important link, there are some details need to be very careful. During food processing, hands, utensils and cutting boards, rags, etc. may be contaminated by bacteria in raw food. So wash your hands well with soap and wash them in warm water for at least 20 seconds. Hands should be dried with paper towels to prevent bacteria from staying on your hands. All surfaces of kitchen utensils should be scrubbed clean with sanitizer and a napkin. Wash and dry dishes completely with a napkin to prevent bacteria from multiplying.

Meat in the refrigerator should be allowed enough time to thaw, and don't let the thawed water run off into other places or foods. It's best to place food that needs to be thawed on a plate covered with a napkin to allow the thawed water to be soaked up by the napkin.

Six, cooking thoroughly can prevent disease

Raw food is a popular diet. Many people love the freshness of raw fish and the crisp taste of raw oysters. However, if the cooking temperature of meat is less than 100℃, it will not be able to kill the parasites or germs on the meat food. When people eat barbecue, shabu-shabu hot pot and seafood raw cut, the food is most likely to be in a half-cooked state. This is when parasites and germs are most active and people have a high chance of getting infected after eating them. Undercooked lentils and poorly heated

soymilk have toxins in them that can cause poisoning after consumption. Therefore consumers should not blindly pursue a raw food diet.

Seven, preservation conditions have to pay attention to

The bacteria that cause food poisoning are most likely to grow in the environment from 5 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, this interval is known as the dangerous temperature region. Preparing food too soon before eating it, or leaving processed food for a long time in an environment where bacteria can easily multiply, as well as improper heating are all equivalent to placing food in the danger zone. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking and store raw and cooked foods separately. Raw foods, especially meat, fish and seafood, should be stored on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and processed foods on the top shelf. All food should be kept in clean, non-toxic, washable containers and covered tightly. Meat, poultry and fish that have been thawed should not be stored again, and canned food such as fish and meat should not be kept for more than one year.

Eight, with wine small dishes have taboos

Not all the delicacies are suitable for wine, here to please pay attention to.

Cool powder: cool powder in the process to add the right amount of alum, and alum has the effect of slowing down gastrointestinal motility. The use of cold noodles with alcohol will extend the residence time of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the body's absorption of alcohol.
