mood-stable food-the taste of mother
When encountering setbacks in work or life, the coping attitude can be divided into two types: overcoming and giving up. For the obstacles that stand in front of us, those who can break through and go forward bravely have commendable courage, and what supports this courage is "the taste of mother."
When it comes to the smell of mother, its definition is easily misunderstood. The so-called "mom's taste" here refers to mom's "unique flavor of dishes", not traditional foods such as noodles or braised beef noodles. In other words, it refers to those who are deeply impressed by and miss the flavor of home dishes from childhood to adolescence, especially those dishes full of happiness. Many of the dishes cooked by my mother have this flavor. No matter how expensive the processed food is, it is hard to replace this memorable flavor.
This kind of food or dish with strong nostalgic flavor can be called "emotionally stable food". Because eating such dishes, the mood will stabilize. Especially when encountering setbacks, if you eat this kind of stable food, you can be given courage to overcome difficulties and overcome setbacks. It can be said that people who can eat emotionally stable food are the lucky ones on the journey of life.
Most adults now used to own this kind of stable food, but with the progress of civilization and the standardization of diet, the taste of mother has been gradually diluted. It is doubtful whether modern new human beings who have grown up in this environment can face setbacks in the future. From this point of view, when raising children, we should make all kinds of unique flavors by hand as much as possible to impress them, which can be said to be a subject that new and new human mothers must work hard on.
At present, it is particularly convenient to process food, including hamburgers, fried chicken pieces, curry rice, beef noodles, frozen dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, Yuanxiao and Shaomai. There is nothing wrong with the prepared food itself. The problem lies in the partial eclipse life, especially when all meals are prepared with this processed food, and there is a nutritional deviation.
The so-called "stable food" refers to what kind of food and flavor you can eat when you encounter setbacks and depression in your work or life. This "stable food" is "the taste of mom".
Here, I suggest housewives wash their hands to make soup, and make several unique foods. Try them first, then give them to their husbands and children, and observe whether they have this effect. If they have it, keep it and make it once in a while to impress their families. This is a stable force and a source of family happiness. Never ignore the latest research that children's emotional instability is related to diet.
Low calcium content in diet can inhibit the excitement of cranial nerves. There is enough calcium in cranial nerves, which makes it easy to maintain emotional stability. Lack of calcium will make you feel uneasy, irritable and weak.
Eating too much sugar in the diet, such as desserts and drinks, raises blood sugar in the body. In order to lower blood sugar, the pancreas must secrete a large amount of insulin, causing excessive secretion of pararenin, thus causing irritability, anger and emotional instability.
B vitamins are deficient in sugar and take in too much. To become calories, B vitamins must be consumed. If the diet is deficient in B vitamins, it will lead to high spirits and out of control.
vitamin c deficiency often consumes vitamin c when you are nervous. if vitamin c is insufficient in your diet, your brain function will be reduced, and you will also have emotional instability.
Eating mood control is conducive to scientific health preservation
Eating mood refers to the emotional state that the eater keeps during the eating process, that is to say, the eater keeps a quiet and happy mood for a certain period of time before and after eating, which is helpful for the digestion and absorption of food. This kind of mood is calm and gentle, and it is comfortable and cheerful. Sun Simiao, a medical sage in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "Anger leads to anger, joy leads to anger, sadness leads to anger, shock leads to anger disorder, and thinking leads to anger stagnation." When the human body is in the condition of abnormal qi and blood, the digestive function will be affected to some extent. Probably everyone has had the experience that when the mood fluctuates, even if there are all kinds of delicious food on the table, they will eat it without knowing its taste.
Diet can cause physical pleasure. When Arabs hold banquets, everyone sings and dances around the bonfire before eating, and their appetite is particularly good when eating. China people toast and laugh at the banquet, and what they eat is the atmosphere.
On the contrary, diet will cause physical discomfort and great emotional fluctuation. For example, Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was put into prison because of his outspoken offense, and made an agreement with his son that if there was a dangerous letter, he would add fish blindly when sending food to prison. My son went out and forgot to tell his family about it. When a meal was delivered at home, Dongpo specially made a fish that Dongpo loved to eat and sent it to prison. When Dongpo saw the fish, he thought that the disaster of killing was coming, and he was very frightened. Later, after the mountain prison, he stopped eating fish for life.
In feudal times, the day before the execution of a condemned prisoner, there was a particularly rich dinner and a pot of wine, but as soon as the prisoners saw the food and wine delivered, they knew their doom was coming. Most people would burst into tears and few people could swallow it. This kind of emotional reaction accompanied by the process of feeling is called "emotional tone" of feeling by psychologists.
To keep people in a good mood all the time when eating, it is necessary to study people's psychological state when eating. It is not easy to make the people attending the banquet always sit in the best mental state. In order to keep the guests in the best state during the banquet, we should pay attention to various factors that affect people's psychological state. If the banquet is held on time, the banquet environment is beautiful, clean and comfortable, the music is beautiful, the dishes are delicious, the shape is beautiful and moving, and the color is colorful, etc., so that the eater always keeps a good mood and a strong appetite. Creating a good eating environment and maintaining a happy eating mood are essential for everyone's health and longevity. As a eater, we should try our best to get rid of bad emotions during eating, so as not to affect the digestion and absorption of food, the taste and elegance of food, and the physical and mental health.
Music is an indispensable entertainment for food. What kind of music to choose at the banquet is very particular. Music experts believe that soft and brisk music can cause quiet and happy emotions, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of food. At many important banquets, light music such as serenades and waltzes are played, while at state banquets in China, elegant national music is played.
music has been used to accompany meals since ancient times. In Chinese and foreign history, when grand banquets are held, music is always used to entertain. When Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty held a thousand banquets, there were nearly a hundred bands playing orchestras, stringed instruments and bamboos alone.
In ancient China, the Taoist school of Dan once played soft and interesting music with a set of "notes" to match eating, and said that it could "cultivate temperament, dissolve like drunkenness, drift to the fairy, return to the Sect with vigor, and forget your worries with joy". Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, listed ceremony and music as the first of the six arts, which is a symbol of civilization. Since Confucianism became the spiritual pillar of the feudal dynasty, the court banquet was bound to be a big gift and a big joy, and Zhong Ming Ding Shi also became a symbol of the official family. In the unearthed Han Dynasty portrait bricks, stones and tomb murals, scenes of music and dance assisting wine abound, and even folk weddings and funerals must be accompanied by bands to enhance the atmosphere.
In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, music was indispensable in the dining or banquet of the aristocratic class. Therefore, the masters of classical music wrote many relaxed and happy songs as the background music for dining. The early symphonies had an indissoluble bond with diet. One night in the spring of 1762, the Duke of Estehazi, Austria (now in Hungary), held a grand banquet in his luxurious mansion. At the banquet, Haydn, the new band captain and conductor, led the musicians to play the wandering songs and symphonies he specially created for the banquet. Haydn's cheerful, lively and humorous music won the appreciation of the guests. With the cooperation of relaxed music, the host and guest enjoyed themselves and returned home satisfied, which was once a much-told story. Later, two other great musicians, Liszt and Mozart, also composed some relaxing banquet music.
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist and psychologist, devoted himself to the process of digestion in his early days and found some evidence to illustrate the relationship between music and digestion. He found that if music can arouse happy mood, it will promote the secretion of digestive juice, so that food can be digested more easily.
Of course, the "peristalsis" of the stomach is much slower than the rhythm of the heartbeat. According to psychologists' research, this kind of peristalsis will be influenced by the rhythm of music. If a person hears some music that can cause a pleasant reaction while eating, and can get a sense of peace from it, then music will help digestion better.
Music language can reflect the changes of atmosphere, color, mood and image, which makes the appreciator's eating mood fluctuate with the melody, intensity, rhythm and dynamics, and constitutes the relationship between music and eating psychology. Psychologists have also found that music is really beneficial to digestion, but the choice of music between meals must be a stimulus without excessive rhythm. Table music is a kind of background music, which has strong practicability and floats in a limited space. People in this space are usually passive or even forced to be influenced by it. Music during meals should be soft and slow, and the intensity of music should not interfere with normal conversation, while small string bands, pianos or harps are more suitable. If the music is too loud, it will be difficult to achieve the expected purpose.
It can be seen that in the diet, the dietary psychology is particularly sensitive to the music with meals. In a restaurant with elegant environment and quiet atmosphere, if slow music is played by stereo, customers who are eager to eat will be calm, take their time to order, wait patiently and taste carefully; On the contrary, disco and rock music, which have a strong rhythm and are full of excitement, are hard to endure the shock of this strongly stimulating music for a long time, even if they are given to customers who deliberately seek to stimulate drunkenness, which makes them feel dizzy and lose their appetite.
The emotional color and volume of music, as well as the melody order, will directly affect the eating mood and cause the changes of eating psychology. In a quiet, soothing and cheerful eating environment, it will naturally make the dieter's appetite open and cultivate his body and mind in order to get artistic enjoyment.
