Traditional Healthy Eating Myths

There are a growing awareness of health issues and more and more people are paying attention to their diet. Although it has been going along with mainstream diets, many people are slowly coming to terms with the fact that by eating healthy eating practices, they have improved their Various problems, including lowering blood sugar, reversing the disappearance of diabetes, improving gout, gallstones, solving migraines, disappearing psoriasis, and many others question.

 

I believe that food is medicine.

If you have a health problem, the first thing you need to consider is changing your diet, not taking medication. Most medications treat the symptoms, not the root cause. There are some side effects.

 

It's worth mentioning that there are ideas that may be subverting traditional diets, but these are the latest health ideas from abroad, and in the Abroad, there was a very historic dietary revolution, the shift from low-fat to low-carbon diets.

 

I am an advocate of a low-carbon diet and a light diet. In foreign countries, I see many elderly people who have been eating low-carbon and light diets for years, and they are very healthy, which is different from the elderly in China. Because dietary problems can lead to all kinds of diseases, many people get diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and other problems at a young age.

I would like to correct some misconceptions about diet here.

1. You cannot eat more eggs. You can only digest one egg per day.

This notion used to be deeply rooted in people's minds, but it is gradually changing. Young people usually do not say such things because they will be laughed at.

 

Eggs are the best food in the world, the most nutritious, the protein, the main nutrient being in the yolk. Very rich in minerals and vitamins, eggs can only be eaten on one principle, from some very rudimentary research that has been debunked abroad up.

 

Eggs, including egg yolks, are absolutely okay to eat more, do not worry, cholesterol is no problem.

 

2: Cholesterol is bad for you and hinders your cardiovascular system, so you should always eat less of it.

 

The idea that cholesterol is harmful has been around for years. In 2015, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines eliminated restrictions on foodborne cholesterol. It is becoming more and more accepted by many people that saturated fats are being added to the table.

 

In fact, first, cholesterol is very important to the human body.

Secondly, our body automatically regulates cholesterol. How much you eat doesn't affect your cholesterol levels. Third, there is good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, and neutral cholesterol.

Fourth, it is safe to eat saturated fats, such as animal oils, to increase your cholesterol.

 

3. animal oil is unhealthy.

 

Animal oils such as lard, which are high in saturated fat, have been questioned by many, with some suggesting that it may raise cholesterol levels and will Clogging blood vessels, many people choose vegetable oils instead of animal oils.

 

Many studies have found no link between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease because the cholesterol it causes is not harmful. The main thing is that saturated fat is very stable and well suited to Chinese cooking. It is healthier than vegetable oil.

 

Vegetable oil is healthier than animal fat.

 

Not really, as more and more research are finding that most of the cheaper vegetable oils on the market, such as canola, soybean and peanut oils Both are very unhealthy, but saturated fats are much healthier.

 

First, vegetable oils are unstable and can be carcinogenic when cooked at high temperatures in China.

Secondly, vegetable oils contain too much omega 6, and if you don't consume enough of either, it can lead to a number of health problems. Problems such as inflammation in the body, which is a major contributor to heart disease.

 

The best vegetable oil is olive oil, which can be eaten in abundance, or avocado oil, coconut oil, animal oil, etc., if cooking at high temperatures. Animal and coconut oils are the most consistent, and you can usually use olive oil for cold or low temperature sauteing.

Many health concepts once established, want to change again, it is really difficult, at present many elderly people face many problems, eat a lot of shouldn't eat, reject a lot of healthy food.

What we need to do as young people, we need to be patient, share the latest health information with them, take time to explain it to them, and most importantly, we need to start with ourselves, if you feel the benefits of changing your diet, your personal condition is getting better and better, and after the elderly see it, I believe they will slowly change too.
