Each type of food has different nutrient content. Before purchasing, you should carefully read the ingredient content indicated in the instructions. Weight loss has become a fashion in today's society, and people use various methods such as dieting, medication, acupuncture, and slimming tea. Although there are more and more methods, they often fail to achieve the desired results. This is because most people in this group do not know how to control their eating habits, so they inevitably take the wrong path in the process of weight loss.
Nutrition experts suggest that as long as you pay attention to the food instructions you buy in your daily life and control your diet according to the food instructions, you can stay away from obesity. The calorie content has already been marked in the food instructions. Calculate the calorie intake based on the indicated content and control the daily calorie intake. Each person needs to consume 2000-2500 kilocalories (8368-10460 kilojoules) of energy per day. If the calorie intake does not meet this requirement, it will affect the quality of life throughout the day. Therefore, you should balance the following data to control your daily calorie intake: daily nutritional requirements, total fat intake of 65 grams, saturated fat intake of 20 grams, sodium intake of 2400 milligrams, total carbohydrate intake of 300 grams, and fiber intake of 25 grams.
In addition, pay attention to the nutritional information indicated on food packaging. For individually portioned foods, pay special attention to the calorie content of each portion. Avoid excessive intake of fats, saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium, as they may cause diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. Excessive calorie intake can lead to obesity, which not only affects mobility and self-confidence but also increases the risk of various diseases such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer, and accelerates the progression of cancer. Therefore, weight loss is necessary for people who are truly obese.
In addition to controlling calorie intake in diet, exercising more is also necessary for weight loss. It can reduce fat and prevent the loss of healthy nutrients such as muscles, promoting both health and effectiveness.
Tips from the editor:
The quality of food is directly related to people's health and life safety. When consumers choose food, they must carefully select and check various contents of the food, such as product logos, certifications, production dates, etc. Check whether the food has the QS logo, which stands for "Quality and Safety" in English and is a mark for the market access of food quality and safety. Food with the QS logo can be safely consumed. It is also important to check the "Business License," "Health Permit," and the certificate of food inspection and qualification of the food being sold.
Check whether the food is labeled with the production date and shelf life, whether there are issues such as pre-labeling of production date or tampering with or counterfeiting of production and shelf life, to prevent buying expired products.
Check whether the packaging and labels have complete and detailed information about the name, address, postcode, and telephone number of the production company, and be cautious of buying counterfeit products.
Observe the outer packaging of the product to see if it is damaged or leaking; whether the airtight metal packaging has swelling or bulging; whether the packaging printing of texts and patterns is neat and clear; whether there are issues with counterfeit famous brand packaging; whether imported food has Chinese labels, inspection and quarantine certificates, etc.
Check the additives, beware of excessive additives such as "sweeteners," "colorants," and "preservatives," and do not buy food with abnormal colors such as moist, sticky, moldy, too white, too red, too bright, green, or black.
Pay attention to whether there are substances similar to the appearance of the food or low-grade substances mixed in, whether there are impurities such as sand and hair; avoid buying food without fly-proof and dust-proof facilities, cooked meat products, cold dishes, and food sold by salespersons who do not wear gloves or masks according to hygiene requirements, as they are prone to bacterial contamination.
Try to buy food from legal, regular, and reputable shopping malls and supermarkets. Do not buy food sold in open-air markets, food with poor operating conditions, food with changes in sensory characteristics, and food sold at street stalls. If the food has an ammonia smell, sour odor, moldy smell, or other abnormal odors, it is likely to have exceeded the shelf life or have been "renewed" and modified, so do not buy it.
When buying food, especially ready-to-eat food that is directly consumed, be sure to request and keep the invoice or receipt as evidence in case of consumption disputes.
