What are the common dietary mistakes?
Many common diet combinations in daily life are wrong. Let’s learn more about them below.
1. Common mistakes in pairing 1 rice + fried shredded potatoes. A bowl of rice paired with fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried lotus root slices, minced pork vermicelli, etc. is a delicacy in many people's minds.
Staple foods such as rice, steamed buns, and flatbreads, as well as vegetables such as potatoes, lotus root slices, and yams, are mainly composed of starch. When eaten together, the proportion of starch is too large and protein, vitamins, etc. are seriously insufficient, which is a wrong way to eat high carbohydrates.
Similar combinations include cold skin with wontons and hot and sour noodles with sesame seed cakes.
Eating this way for a long time can easily lead to nutritional deficiencies, reduced immunity, and easy disease.
Northern cities such as Henan and Gansu that love to eat pasta and potatoes should especially pay attention.
2 burgers + fried chicken One burger and a pair of fried chicken wings is the most common way to eat it.
However, burgers and fried chicken can be called the "king of high-calorie foods". Similar combinations include pancakes with fried dough sticks, French fries with sandwiches, etc.
The direct consequence of long-term consumption is obesity, and many chronic diseases such as diabetes and fatty liver may also come to your doorstep.
3. Instant noodles + ham sausage. Instant noodles and ham sausage are the daily diet of many lazy people and overtime workers. It is both delicious and convenient.
Both are high-salt foods. The salt content of a pack of instant noodles can reach 1.8 times the recommended amount (no more than 6 grams per person per day). Processed meat products such as ham, luncheon meat, bacon, and sausages also contain salt.
Big house.
Eating the two types of food together can be described as "salty on top of salty", which may lead to arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure.
Common high-salt combinations include salted staple foods (flower rolls, green onion pancakes, etc.) and pickled foods (salted duck eggs, pickled cucumbers, etc.).
4. Cake + milk tea In busy mornings, many office workers don’t have time to have a comfortable breakfast at home, so they often buy cakes, milk tea and other processed foods to satisfy their hunger.
Generally speaking, in order to make the taste fragrant, a large amount of sugar and oil are often added to cakes, and sugar and essence are also indispensable in milk tea. Eating the two together is like eating a "sugar bowl", which is a wrong way to eat high sugar. It is recommended to eat less
Eat as well.
Because excessive intake of sugar not only makes you feel full and affects your meal intake, it also increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Similar combinations include sandwich biscuits with milk-flavored drinks, sweet toast with jam, etc.
5 Barbecue + Grilled Buns Nowadays, skewers and barbecue restaurants are opening all over the streets and alleys, and the business is very prosperous. Barbecue, grilled vegetables, and grilled buns have almost become people’s must-order delicacies.
A large amount of carcinogens may be produced during the grilling process of food. Eating too much grilled food in one meal without paying attention to the combination may increase the risk of cancer.
Therefore, you should eat as little barbecue food as possible, and even if you eat it, it is best to eat it with a lot of vegetables to reduce the risk of cancer.
6 Coarse Grain Porridge + Steamed Sweet Potato In life, some elderly people who suffer from the "three highs" often only eat whole grains after learning about the benefits of eating more whole grains. A bowl of multigrain porridge and steamed sweet potato is a complete meal. Similar combinations include oatmeal.
Noodles with purple sweet potato, etc.
Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber, which can lower blood pressure, lower lipids, and prevent constipation. However, long-term consumption of high-fiber combinations alone can cause health problems, ranging from abdominal distension and abdominal pain to malnutrition, especially for the elderly with weakened digestive function.
pay attention.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone eat whole grains with fine grains every day, or eat whole grains 2 to 3 times a week.
7 Dark Chocolate + Coffee People who often work overtime must be very familiar with these two foods.
Eating a piece of dark chocolate when you are hungry can quickly replenish energy, and drinking a cup of coffee when you are sleepy can refresh your mind and relieve fatigue. The combination of the two is a must-have for working overtime and staying up late.
Both dark chocolate and coffee are rich in caffeine, which can stimulate nerves and increase energy. Moderate intake is not a big problem, but if consumed for a long time, the biggest damage is "paralysis" of the nerves.
After eating them, people seem to be energetic, but their body and mind have been exhausted. In the long run, their immunity will inevitably decrease and their physical fitness will deteriorate.
Foods with higher caffeine content include cola, instant tea, etc.
8. Rice porridge + pickles. For some elderly or patients with poor digestion and poor appetite, the most common way to eat rice porridge is with pickles or fermented bean curd.
Pickles are not only nutritious, but also contain carcinogens nitrosamines; fermented bean curd is a high-salt food, and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should eat less of it; rice contains neither vitamins nor protein content.
Although this combination can fill your stomach, the nutrient density is too low, and long-term consumption can easily induce malnutrition.
9. Junk Food + Wine. The latest research from the University of Liverpool in the UK found that after drinking alcohol, people are more eager to eat so-called "junk food" such as fried, pickled, smoked and grilled, and are prone to overeating.
The reason is that researchers believe that, on the one hand, alcohol can stimulate appetite and reduce self-control, making it difficult to refuse the temptation of junk food; on the other hand, after drinking, the body's satiety signal is weakened, making it easy to overeat.
Experts point out that excessive alcohol consumption and junk food intake are extremely harmful to health, and it is best to avoid such combinations.
