Recently, there is a shortage of books, and those who start to ignore the new subject read the book. At first, I read a book called “One-Man Company”, then I read a few books “Minimalism”, and then I read a book “You Can Lose Weight in 5 Minutes”, which talked about some things about diet Contents of the book made me interested in information about diet, and I searched and searched again, and found a book called “The Science of Eating”.
Originally, as a person who fasts, I have certain basic knowledge about healthy eating and nutrition. I have heard of different so-called diets, but they are not that detailed. After reading this book “The Science of Eating”, I expanded my knowledge about Diet perspective.
We all know that there are too many diets on the market, some advocate low-carb, some promote low-fat, and some promote protein, and we don’t know which one is better. some say eating starch It really makes ordinary people lose, so this book is very suitable for everyone, because this book explains food and main nutrition from a more scientific point of view.
This book does not teach you any diet, but uses basic nutrition as a unit, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and eating time Each unit explains the changes that occur after for various nutrients to enter the body, thus explaining the current state In today’s society, why certain foods should be eaten more and certain foods should be avoided, the comprehensive content is also more comprehensive, of ‘to compare with the one-sided content written by various KOLs on the Internet, and of course, some content is not fully understood in the current scientific community Confirmation, the author himself will also say, and physique everyone is different, simply for example, some people have insulin resistance problems, they are more suitable for a low-carb diet, while some people do not have this problem, they are more suitable for a low-fat diet.
To talk briefly about a few key points, protein is more important to the human body than carbohydrates (that is, energy) Human hunger is also whether the demand for protein is met, and protein based on plants more suitable for humans than animals. – protein based. However, it is not wise to absorb too much protein, because protein is forged into the body’s composition and cell growth, including cancer cells and other cells that are harmful to the body.
Carbohydrates are mainly divided into glucose and fructose. Glucose will be sent to all parts of the body for energy use, while fructose will be stored in the liver only. On the whole, high fructose should be avoided.
When it comes to meat, white meat is better than red meat, and fish is better than white meat, but don’t give up red meat because of this, just eat less.
As for vitamins, the majority of vitamin pills do not have, because the absorption of vitamins needs to be combined with other substances, probably taking vitamin pills alone will only dissolve in the body and be excreted with urine. However, vitamin D cannot be absorbed from food, only sunlight can be absorbed. People with different skin types have different absorption powers, so vitamin D can be consumed as needed. In addition, vegetarians are also advised to consume vitamin B12.
In terms of eating time, the human body’s ability to work insulin during the day is better, so eating a large meal during the day is better than eating a large meal at night, and when there is no food, human cells will cleaning up the bad leftover food during the division process This process is called autophagy. That’s the meaning of fasting, so even if you eat the same amount of food, it’s better to eat in a shorter time.
Also, whether it’s coffee, tea or wine, moderate intake is good for the body.
However, it also depends on your own constitution, for example, Asians are genetically less able to digest milk, and we all have a different constitution, so we shouldn’t follow a certain diet blindly. We should do tests and find out gradually what is best for us A comfortable and healthier diet.
This book is wonderful and provides a lot of information about food, so I have been reading it for a few days. On this day, I went to McDonald’s to order food and started reading again. Then, I bit into my french fries and read this One paragraph: “Because of the high glycemic index, we should avoid potatoes under all circumstances.”
