In China, where the food culture is extensive and profound, breakfast is highly valued. But do you actually eat breakfast?
A healthy breakfast should meet the following criteria: First, it should be nutritionally balanced. A healthy breakfast should consist of three parts: cereals, protein (containing fat), and fruits and vegetables. Cereals include rolls, steamed bread, rice porridge, bread and so on. Milk and eggs are the main sources of protein and the best combination. Vegetables and fruits include cucumbers, tomatoes (small), apples, etc. Raw fruits and vegetables are not easy to lose nutrients, which is conducive to health. Secondly, it is necessary to see whether the breakfast contains unhealthy ingredients, whether it is rich in salt, polysaccharide, oil or contains carcinogens.
Let's use this standard to see if our usual breakfast combinations are scientific.
- Milk + egg
"Milk and eggs" is a favorite choice of many young people for breakfast, and while this combination is convenient, it is not scientific. Overnight, the human body is in a "state of hunger", and milk and eggs are mainly provided with protein, lack of essential carbohydrates, can not meet our energy needs, will soon feel hungry after eating. In order to supplement energy, it is recommended to eat with bread, steamed bread and other staple foods.
- Churros + soy milk
Compared with milk and eggs, Chinese characteristics of churros + soy milk seems to be more common people's choice. But this way of eating is not healthy either. The oil and heat of youtiao are high, and in the process of high temperature frying, the nutritional value is lost, and even carcinogens are produced. Although soy milk is rich in nutrition, it is a medium fat food. The fat content of such a breakfast is obviously excessive, and eating for a long time can easily lead to obesity. It is recommended not to eat soy milk churros more than twice a week, and lunch and dinner on the day should be light.
- White porridge + pickles
Although white porridge is light and easy to digest, it has a single nutritional composition, especially thin porridge, which can basically provide energy and water for the human body. And white porridge is faster than rice digestion, it is easy to get hungry. Salted vegetables with white porridge is delicious, but the nitrite content and microbial content are easy to exceed the standard, there are health risks. In addition, too much salt is not good. It is recommended to match A boiled egg every day, the egg not only has protein, but also rich in lecithin, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and other nutrients in the yolk, which is one of the foods closest to the nutritional pattern required by the human body. Pickles can be eaten, but be careful to control the amount.
- Fruit and vegetable salad
Many fitness people like to eat fruit and vegetable salad as breakfast, so it seems healthy, but it is not. Such a breakfast lacks staples and protein, providing too few calories. Moreover, eating bananas, oranges and other fruits on an empty stomach will stimulate the secretion of stomach acid, which can easily lead to digestive system diseases. It is recommended to eat with staple foods, eggs and milk. For people with poor digestive function, breakfast should still be dominated by warm food.
