In the past, people often said that they should eat more meat because it is rich in iron; now people say that they should eat less meat because it contains too much cholesterol.
In the past, people said that drinking milk can supplement calcium; now people say that dairy products should be used with caution because they contain too much fat.
This is really what the public says is right, and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right.
Recently I heard a more mysterious statement: food is like drugs. If you eat too much, you will become addicted, thus affecting people's health... "Nicotine" in food In life, I always hear the elders muttering: "It turns out there is no such thing.
No one has ever paid attention to the combination of food, and few people have become obese. How come the more we pay attention to dietary rules, the more we get sick and the more people gain weight? "Indeed, those who think about losing weight all day long are always eating and drinking.
The beauties who are struggling to eat are even more helpless about this.
Is it that difficult to stay in good shape if you eat less?
Yes, scientists have concluded after extensive research: Meat, sugar and cheese all contain substances that make the body feel "trustworthy" in them, which is very similar to the nicotine in cigarettes.
In other words, once we are entangled in food, it is difficult to escape from its grasp.
Coffee is the best example. It is very difficult to break the habit of drinking coffee.
Those who have been with coffee for several years will always think of it at specific moments every day, and will feel restless if they don't drink it.
The same goes for foods like cheese, meat, and sugar.
There are also some foods that can make the body dependent on them even if they are not eaten in large amounts and often, because these foods contain certain substances that can stimulate the brain to "miss" them frequently.
Neil Barnard, a professor of medicine at George Washington University, explains: "It's not a matter of gluttony or weakness, it's a biochemical process that causes people to feel a constant need for meat, cheese, or sugar every day.
The intake is seriously insufficient. "For example, cheese contains a type of casein called casein, which can produce casein morphine during the human body's digestion process, similar to morphine, making people gradually addicted after eating cheese.
.
With this explanation, it is not difficult to understand why in a survey of 1,244 adults in the United States, more than a quarter of them ignored $1,000 and were unwilling to experience a vegetarian life without eating meat for a week.
.
Furthermore, there is also a biochemical explanation for those carbohydrate (pasta and grain) choices.
Research conducted by Walter Willett, director of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health and Hygiene, shows that specially processed grains can be quickly absorbed by the body, and the sugars contained in them can quickly enter the blood circulation system.
At the same time, the pancreas responds accordingly by producing a certain amount of insulin, which then delivers glucose to the cells and liver.
But 2 to 3 hours after consuming processed carbohydrates, there will no longer be sugar in the circulation, which causes people to feel hungry again, so they start eating again, and the cycle begins again.
Of course, sugar can also slowly enter the circulation system along with carbohydrates, making people feel hungry for a longer period of time.
Such carbohydrates must have a low glycemic index (GI), because low-GI foods reduce the rate of insulin secretion, prolong the feeling of fullness, and delay the reappearance of appetite after a meal.
The lower the insulin level, the lower the blood lipids such as blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and the better for health.
It seems that those who repeatedly fail to lose weight may not necessarily have perseverance issues.
Who knows whether we have been "poisoned" by delicious food when we eat every day?
The more we eat, the sicker we get, and the more we eat, the fatter we get. Can we only be at the mercy of delicious food "nicotine"?
Of course not, knowing where the "poison source" is, humans will naturally show their trump card to fight against dependence on food, which is the Mediterranean diet spread from Europe.
Return to the Mediterranean Diet Why do we say "return"?
Because the Mediterranean diet is not a new idea for a long time, but until now, many people still know very little about this dietary method that is highly recommended by the World Health Organization, or they know it, but they don’t take it to heart at all and are too lazy to try it.
.
They prefer to waste their energy on the endless stream of weight loss centers.
To be honest, all the various weight loss tips will be defeated once they encounter the "Mediterranean".
As long as you eat scientifically, your health will be more than half guaranteed, and your body will get better accordingly.
What reason do we have for not paying attention to the "Mediterranean Sea"?
The Mediterranean diet is actually a generalization of the dietary styles of some countries living along the Mediterranean coast of Europe.
People here like to eat high-carbohydrate and low-fat foods.
The food menu is rich in vegetables and fruits, as well as appetizers and rich herbal seasonings. This kind of seasoning is indispensable in local tomato sauce and caviar, but local people rarely eat it all year round.
Meat.
To study this way of eating, Dr. Ansu Jais of the University of Minnesota came to Salerno, Italy, with a U.S. army in 1945.
He found that many diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, digestive tract diseases, obesity, etc., are rare among Italians, especially among the residents of Chilento.
After this, a sample survey of the eating habits of 10,000 people around the world also showed that if the food structure is far away from the Mediterranean dietary framework, the greater the likelihood of disease.
The biggest feature of the Mediterranean diet structure is "mixed".
