For a long time, we have been influenced by popular health opinions, such as eating more whole wheat food, eating less meat, and eating less egg yolk. However, are these practices correct? Revealing the following 8 truths about food may change the structure of your diet.

　　Cholesterol keeps you away from eggs? Not necessary!

　　Eggs contain a large amount of cholesterol, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we are persuaded to eat less eggs and only protein if we want to. However, despite the "bad reviews" of eggs in recent decades, studies have shown that they do not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Although eggs contain a lot of cholesterol, eating eggs does not actually increase the "bad" cholesterol in the blood. On the contrary, it will supplement "good" cholesterol.

　　In addition, eggs are rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the latter is especially good for the eyes. They are also excellent sources of choline, which is a very important nutrient for the brain, 90% of people lack this substance.

　　 Calories...just calories

　　We believe that as long as we control the calories we ingest, we can maintain a good figure. Yes, calories are very important, but don’t be superstitious. The fact is that the type of food we eat is also more important than calories. Because the food we eat directly affects the hormones that control how much we eat and when we eat, and even how many calories we need to burn. For example: under the same calories, fructose and glucose have different effects on the body: fructose stimulates appetite more than glucose. Another example is: the same calorie fat and protein, the former will make you gain weight, but the latter will burn calories and increase muscle mass.

　　You should eat some saturated fat

　　Saturated fat, a term that changes how much people change their colors. Fat, animal skins, dairy products, pastries and cakes all contain this ingredient. For decades, it has been believed that saturated fat consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. This theory has become the cornerstone of many traditional dietary recommendations. However, research in the past 10 years has shown that saturated fats are harmless. A large research survey conducted 347,747 people in 21 tests in 2010. No link was found between saturated fat intake and increased cardiovascular disease risk. Therefore, you can continue to eat your butter cake, but make sure that it is made from animal butter or vegetable butter, the former is very good, the latter contains trans fatty acids, this ingredient is greatly unhealthy. .

　　protein increases the risk of kidney disease? Not necessarily

　　Many people think that a high-protein diet can damage bones. This is indeed true. Ingesting a large amount of protein will lead to a reduction in bone calcium in the short term, but in the long run, more protein intake will increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures in the elderly.

　　Another argument is that excessive protein intake can cause kidney failure. The real situation is a bit more complicated than this. People with kidney disease should indeed reduce protein intake. But for healthy people, protein is harmless.

　　Whole wheat food is not as good as you think

　　Almost everyone agrees that whole wheat food is healthier, however, such a dietary structure may be harmful to health.

　　The main component of wheat is gluten. In susceptible people, gluten may cause digestive problems, abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue, etc. It may also damage the intestinal wall.

　　 In addition, different tests have shown that wheat gluten is also associated with various brain diseases, such as schizophrenia, autism and cerebellar ataxia...

　　Come on another coffee!< /p>

　　Long-term research shows that coffee can reduce the risk of some major diseases. Drinking coffee can reduce type II diabetes by 67%, reduce the risk of Alzheimer''s disease and Parkinson''s disease, and reduce liver diseases such as cirrhosis by about 80%. In addition, coffee can mobilize fatty acids in adipose tissue and stimulate its metabolism.

　　Coffee is also good for the brain, it can improve mood, memory, reaction time, alertness and overall brain function. From a beauty point of view, coffee is also a good antioxidant. Its antioxidant content far exceeds what fruits and vegetables can provide.

　　The only problem with coffee is caffeine, which does disturb people’s sleep. So try to avoid drinking coffee at night.

　　It’s okay to eat some red meat

　　Many people think that meat, especially red meat, will bring many diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

　　In fact, unlike raw meat, processed meats such as sausages and bacon do cause various diseases. This is because processed meat generally contains a compound of sodium and nitrogen as a preservative, which is detrimental to health. Three researchers at Harvard University in the United States conducted 20 studies and analysis of more than 1.2 million subjects. The results showed that people who consumed more than 50 grams of processed meat a day increased the risk of cardiovascular disease by 42%. But another data based on the 1218380 survey sample showed that unprocessed meat was not significantly associated with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

　　 In addition, there have been some studies showing that there is a certain link between eating meat and cancer, but studies have shown that this risk is very low. If cancer is caused by eating meat, it is most likely caused indirectly, not the meat itself.

　　 Sugar is unhealthy because it has too many calories...it may be worse

　　Many people think that sugar is unhealthy because it is high in calories but not nutritious. This is correct, but only the tip of the iceberg.

　　Due to high fructose, sugar can have a severely adverse effect on metabolism and lead to obesity and related metabolic diseases. Excessive fructose can cause heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even cancer.

　　In addition, when you are hungry, sugar will not reduce hunger! In fact, fructose will not reduce hunger hormones, but will encourage you to eat more, so more and more fat! Call sugar in our diet The worst ingredient is not an exaggeration.
