"Soup, sugar, lying down, scalding" are the four words that are indispensable in every aspect of our lives. We often hear sayings like "drinking soup before meals is beneficial to health", "the body needs to replenish sugar every day", "dumplings are delicious and lying down is comfortable", and most people follow these habits. But do these habits really have a positive impact on our health?
The concept of a healthy lifestyle is what we all strive for, especially for those of us living and working in a fast-paced environment. We have come to realize that a reasonable diet and scientific exercise habits are the path to good health. Here, experts suggest that we should stay away from "soup, sugar, lying down, scalding".
The saying goes, "greedy people love soup, lazy people love lying down". Soup is a common dish on many family tables. However, here we want to emphasize that we should drink less soup. This is because soup is a liquid food that reaches the small intestine half an hour after it enters the stomach. Without being digested by the body, it is quickly absorbed. Over time, the nutrients in the soup, especially high-calorie nourishing substances, accumulate in the body without being effectively broken down, turning into hard-to-burn fat and causing weight gain. When drinking soup, we must be careful not to drink too much, a small bowl is enough.
Everyone knows that we should not eat too much sugar because it is bad for our teeth. But what are the other drawbacks of consuming too much sugar? Let's take a look. When people consume excessive amounts of sugar and sweet foods, their bodies feel full due to the intake of too much energy. As a result, this feeling of fullness affects the intake of other protein-rich, vitamin-rich, mineral-rich, and dietary fiber-rich foods.
Over time, this can lead to nutritional deficiencies and hinder development, which is a major cause of obesity. In addition, frequent sugar consumption can also cause vitamin deficiencies, calcium deficiencies, potassium deficiencies, and other nutritional problems. People who love to "lie down" should change this habit.
"Life is movement", there is no doubt that people who like to lie down are not very active, and most of them are troubled by obesity. For these people, we recommend that you immediately change this lifestyle and engage in regular walking exercises. The pace of walking should be maintained at 60-70 centimeters, ensuring 120 steps per minute. Maintain a walking time of more than 30 minutes every day, which will not only keep your body healthy but also give you a perfect figure.
Finally, let's talk about "scalding". Liking to eat "scalding" food is not a good habit. This is because eating hot food can cause damage to the esophagus, and in severe cases, it can even induce esophageal cancer. The oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach mucosa can only withstand temperatures up to 60°C. When the temperature exceeds this limit, the mucosa in these areas gets burned.
Although the human body has the ability to repair burns, repeated damage to these mucosal tissues can lead to malignant changes. Studies have found that the incidence of esophageal cancer is much higher in people who like to eat hot food compared to those who eat high-temperature food.
It is also worth reminding everyone that excessive sugar consumption in children can lead to strange personalities. Therefore, it is important to strictly control the amount of sugar in the diet of children who have a sweet tooth and encourage them to eat foods rich in various vitamins.
Tips from the editor:
A large amount of evidence has proven that smoked and grilled foods produce a large amount of cooking fumes, which contain a carcinogen called benzo[a]pyrene. Smoked and grilled foods such as dried tofu, smoked fish, tripe, sausage, and vegetarian chicken all have residues of benzo[a]pyrene on their surfaces, especially barbecue foods, which have extremely high levels of benzo[a]pyrene.
In addition, smoked foods also contain a carcinogen called ammonium nitrate. Therefore, regularly consuming smoked and grilled foods is very detrimental to our health and can also be a hidden danger for diseases.
