So what does a low-carbohydrate diet mainly mean?
The so-called low-carbon water diet mainly refers to strictly controlling the intake of carbohydrates every day, but at the same time increasing the protein needed by the human body. Moreover, the intake of carbohydrates in human body should not exceed 20g every day, and the whole process must be kept for about half a month. Many people think that this regimen is very healthy. However, according to a foreign study, if carbohydrate intake is controlled in order to lose weight, it will have a great impact on people's life span and shorten their life span. This regimen is not desirable.
Why does low carbohydrate shorten people's life span?
Carbohydrate is one of the essential nutrients in human body. Therefore, if we adhere to a low-carbohydrate diet for a long time, it will not only lead to insufficient energy sources in people's bodies, but also affect the normal operation of the human body.
Moreover, if carbohydrate intake is not enough, it will not only damage human red blood cells, but also easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is very unfavorable for health.
According to relevant research, carbohydrate accounts for about 55% of the main source of energy for everyone in a day. Therefore, if carbohydrate intake is insufficient for a long time, the mortality rate of human body will increase.
Moreover, in a foreign study, adopting a low "carbohydrate diet" will lead to a corresponding decrease in the intake of other food types, such as vegetables and fruits that provide vitamins and trace elements for the human body, and if the intake of protein is greatly increased, it will accelerate the aging of the human body and increase the risk of death.
Similarly, people who stick to a high-carbohydrate diet for a long time will also have an adverse impact on their life expectancy.
How can I eat healthily?
First of all, we should insist on taking an appropriate amount of carbohydrates every day to provide energy for the body. Of course, we should also pay attention to supplementing other nutrients needed by the human body, such as vitamins, protein, minerals, etc. Therefore, everyone can eat more beef, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. and have a balanced nutrition.
Of course, other coarse grains can also be used instead of staple foods, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can not only help people control their weight, but also supplement the energy elements needed by the human body, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, reduce the burden on the digestive system, help people maintain their weight within the normal range, and insist on doing certain exercises every day, such as aerobic exercise, running, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc., to help people's muscles grow and improve their basal metabolic rate.
Moreover, it is better to eat three meals a day on time. For example, some people think that they can quit dinner in order to lose weight. In fact, this is not correct. They can eat some foods with light taste at night and stay away from some foods with high fat, because if they are often on an empty stomach at night, gastric acid secretion will be normal, gastric mucosa will be damaged and some stomach diseases will be induced. Therefore, if you don't eat dinner for a long time, it will be bad for your health.
In a word, for the sake of everyone's health, we must pay attention to the methods in diet. It is unfavorable for people's life to adopt a "low-carbohydrate diet" in order to lose weight. Everyone should develop a healthy and correct diet and ensure adequate intake of nutrients every day. For example, we can replace the staple food with some foods high in dietary fibres and eat more vegetables and fruits. Besides, we should keep exercising and keep a healthy weight. Only in this way can we help people live longer and stay away from diseases.
