In the vast Chinese food culture, oil and sugar are undoubtedly indispensable elements in our daily life, bringing colorful experiences to our taste buds. However, in recent years, the concept of healthy eating has become more popular, and the dangers of excessive intake of oil and sugar have also been widely concerned. But you know what? The real killer of the Chinese diet is not oil and sugar, but the following three common eating habits that many people repeat every day without realizing their potential harm.

1: Salt, as the "first of the five tastes" of Chinese diet, is an essential condiment in our daily cooking. However, excessive salt intake has become a health problem that cannot be ignored.

Studies have shown that a high-salt diet increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, among other conditions. In the traditional Chinese diet, pickled food, bean paste, MSG and other condiments contain high salt. Therefore, controlling salt intake is essential for maintaining health.

The accumulation of sodium ions in table salt in the body leads to weight gain. Eating too much salt for a long time may lead to water retention in the body and weight gain. Long-term intake of salty food will lead to a large amount of calcium loss in the body. This can also lead to brittle bones and osteoporosis.

Eating too much salt can cause skin problems. Because salt contains a lot of sodium ions, if you eat too much sodium ions will cause a lot of water out. Over time, it will cause the skin to become worse and worse.

2: Preference for high temperature cooking. In Chinese cuisine, high temperature cooking such as stir-frying, frying, etc., is a common cooking method. However, the fumes and harmful substances produced during high temperature cooking have become invisible killers of health. Long-term exposure to fumes increases the risk of respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, while cooking at high temperatures can destroy nutrients in food.

The fumes produced during high-temperature cooking contain a variety of harmful substances, and long-term inhalation can increase the risk of respiratory diseases such as lung cancer.

Cooking at high temperatures can lead to the destruction of nutrients in food, reducing its nutritional value.

How to reduce the dangers of high temperature cooking? Choosing low temperature cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, stewing and other low temperature cooking methods can better retain the nutrients in the food. The use of range hoods and the installation of range hoods in the kitchen can effectively reduce the harm of oil smoke to health.

3: Binge eating habits. In traditional Chinese culture, the concept of "eating for heaven" is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Eating too much food at once can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diseases such as indigestion and obesity.
