10 kinds of "bad" food turned over 2015/12/15

        This moment, one moment.  Choosing the right and moderate is good!

        1. Pizza

        This is the first time the American Heart Association has regarded pizza as a "good fast food."

        Scientists in Italy found that pizza can reduce the chance of developing esophageal cancer by 59%, and people who love pizza can also reduce the chance of getting oral cancer by 34% and colon cancer by 26%.

        The secret lies in the lycopene and other antioxidants in the tomato.  "We know that ketchup can provide protection against certain cancers, but we did not expect pizza as a complete food to provide the same protection," Milano Mario, Italy.  Dr. Silvano Gallus from the Negri Institute of Pharmacy said.

        Indeed, in addition to the lycopene provided by tomatoes and tomato sauce, pizza sprinkled with cheese can also strengthen bones, lower blood pressure and suppress colon cancer.

        But if you know how to choose, you can eat better.  The 12-inch spicy sausage pizza has more than 2000 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat; but if you order two slices of crispy vegetable pizza, the calorie is only 300 calories and the saturated fat is only 2.5 grams.  So order a small pizza, more tomato sauce, and salad and vegetable soup.

        Second, ice cream

        83% of dietitians in Europe agree that interesting foods such as ice cream can really help people maintain a long-term healthy diet.  That is not only because ice cream is a good source of protein, it also has important minerals such as calcium and potassium to maintain bone and teeth health.

        The US "Prevention Magazine" even promoted ice cream for weight loss.  The magazine recommends that you choose a cup of low-calorie ice cream of about 125 calories in a weight-loss meal, and pair it with low-calorie cheese, salad, low-fat milk and low-cagel bagel.  The American Nutrition Society agrees that summer ice cream is indeed a fresh source of calcium, but please pay attention to the portion size.  Although an ordinary ice cream provides 120 mg of calcium and 150 mg of potassium, it cannot be ignored. It also has 195 calories and 10 grams of fat.

        Therefore, dietitians recommend adding more fruit to the low-calorie ice cream.

        3. Banana

        It is said that "bananas hurt bones and bones", so that older people with degenerative joint problems retreat from bananas. Cheng Huizheng, director of the medical department of the Chinese Medicine Hospital of Taipei City United Hospital, said, "I call my patients to eat."

        Judging from the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, the ancestors never mentioned that bananas hurt their bones.  "Compendium of Materia Medica" records bananas as "sweet, cold, non-toxic"; "Ben Cao Qiu Yuan" records bananas as "clearing the spleen and smoothing the intestines, and those with strong spleen and fire will eat it, and will stop diarrhea and dysentery."

        Bananas are indeed "sexy".  No process Huizheng said that even if the food has its own taste, it should be compatible with the physique.  For example, because of the coldness of bananas, people with cold constitutions do eat less, but even if people with cold constitutions eat less portions, it will not be a big deal.

        From the perspective of western nutrition, bananas are a lot of benefits, they are good food without compromise.

        A banana is about half a bowl of rice heat, is a good source of heat.  When sports players are on the court, if they eat too much food, they will want to vomit. At this time, bananas are the best food to supplement physical strength.  The Japanese percussion group Guitaiguo, who used to come to the Taiwan Marathon round the stage, eats nothing but only bananas before running the marathon every morning.

        Bananas can also prevent strokes because they have a high amount of potassium, which is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after soybeans and can be labeled on banana products: "With high potassium and low sodium, it can reduce stroke and high blood pressure.  happened".

        Even more exciting is that bananas are still "pleasure food".  The serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine contained in the banana are nerve conduction substances in the brain, which can resist depression and invigorate the spirit.

        Four, chocolate

        More and more Americans are popular to eat dark chocolate, and more and more chocolates in Taiwan are marked with cocoa purity, which is related to people wanting to eat delicious healthy food.

        Many scientific studies have found that there are many antioxidants in chocolate, such as cocoa polyphenols and flavonoids, which can reduce bad cholesterol (low density cholesterol, LDL) and improve good cholesterol (high density cholesterol, HDL).  Flavonoids can also soothe inflammation, open blood flow and improve blood circulation.  A new study published in the Journal of the Nutrition Society of the United States by the University of California, Davis in 2006 found that eating cocoa bars rich in chocolate polyphenols every day for 6 weeks can reduce low-density cholesterol.

        Italian scientists have also found that dark chocolate can lower blood pressure.  The study also showed that dark chocolate can prevent type 2 diabetes because flavonoids can encourage hormones to turn sugar into fuel for cells.

        In addition, the reason why chocolate is fascinating is called the elixir of love, because the tryptophan in chocolate helps to synthesize serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that brings joy.  But this ingredient not only increases romantic interest, it has recently been found to fight chronic fatigue syndrome.

        Unfortunately, not all chocolate products have these effects, it is related to the purity of cocoa.  A recent USDA study found that cocoa powder is the most flavonoid and antioxidant in all chocolate products.  Baking chocolate is next.

        Dark chocolate and baking chips are less important because of the removal of some antioxidants during the manufacturing process.  Milk chocolate, which you eat most often, contains the least useful substances, about one-tenth of the cocoa powder.

        5. Coffee

        Scientists will now tell you that a cup of coffee a day keeps the doctor away.  The University of Scranton selected coffee as the highest source of antioxidants in American food.  The second place is black tea and the third place is banana.

        The benefit of antioxidants is that it can protect you from various cancers, heart diseases, diabetes and stroke. "I think a cup of coffee a day is positive for the heart," said Joe Vinson, a professor of chemistry at Scranton University.

        If you are worried that drinking too much coffee will make your heart palpitate, the good news is that you can choose low-caffeine coffee.

        But beware of "coffee companions"-syrup and creamer.  A large cup of American coffee has only 15 calories and no fat, but if you add creamer and syrup to a large cup of mocha frappuccino, you can get 420 calories and 16 grams of fat.

        Six, peanut butter

        Peanut butter does have a lot of oil, but not all oil is bad for your health.

        The unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E in peanut butter can reduce bad cholesterol and protect the heart.  This is a study published in the "Journal of Food Science" jointly by the University of Georgia in the United States and the Chungju National University in South Korea.

        Peanut butter can also prevent diabetes.  A study by the Harvard School of Public Health in the United States pointed out that eating 1 spoonful of peanut butter 5 times a week can reduce the chance of type 2 diabetes by 21%.  When you are hungry in the afternoon, toast spread peanut butter as a snack is a good choice, the fat in peanut butter can immediately feel full.  But it is not suitable to apply peanut butter to foods that are already high in calories, such as cookies and cakes.

        7. Eggs

        Many people think of cholesterol as soon as they see an egg. Those who are afraid of heart disease spit out "Keep away from it".  But now scientists already know that the real dangerous enemy is saturated fat.  George Washington University Cardiologist John.  Dr. La Rosa said: "The power of saturated fat to increase cholesterol is 4 times higher than that of cholesterol contained in food." Saturated fats are all in animal fats, such as meat and dairy products.  So stay away from cream, lard, chicken skin, whole milk, etc.  Eggs have very little fat, only 5 grams of fat per egg.

        Moreover, the nutritional concentration of eggs is extremely high. Vitamin A, B6, B12, E, K, folic acid and iron are contained in an egg, which can prevent fat from depositing in the liver, and lutein in the egg can also protect eye health.  But the cooking method will affect the health of eggs.  Hard-boiled eggs or more vegetables in the eggs will allow you to eat every bite.

        8. Beef

        There is no need to eat dry chicken breasts anymore. The connection of beef (with various red meats) to cholesterol and heart disease is not so deep.  A study published in "Archives of Internal Medicine" by Johns Hopkins University in the United States pointed out that lean beef, like chicken and fish, does not increase cholesterol.  Because of advances in animal husbandry technology, today's beef is not so "oily", so there is not so much saturated fat.  Moreover, beef contains a lot of women's insufficient nutrition, such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.  But still choose lean beef, not ribs or t-bone steak, this steak is twice as fat and calories as lean beef.

        Nine, duck meat

        Many people say that duck meat is "poisonous", so people with skin diseases and surgical operations can't eat it, and it has even expanded that everyone should not eat more duck meat.  Chinese medicine practitioner Cheng Huizheng said, "The food does not have the problem of being poisonous or not." Although the Materia Medica records duck meat as "sweet, cold, and slightly poisonous," the ancients called "poison", which refers to an obvious reaction to the body, such as immediate diarrhea.  Or allergies are not "poisons" in modern scientific concepts.  The cause of diarrhea may be caused by people with a weak constitution or people who have already caught cold eat too much duck meat.  Although duck meat is non-toxic, it is cold, so it can be cooked together with hot food such as ginger mother and angelica to balance the sexual taste of the food.  Now you know why Ginger Mother Duck and Angelica Duck are so famous.

        10. Cheese

        Toast next time for breakfast instead of butter, instead of cheese.  Because cheese can actually fight cancer, a study by Washington State University found.

        The key lies in the conjugated linolenic acid in cheese.  This "good" fatty acid not only finds that it can prevent the growth of skin cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer, but also reduces the chance of heart disease and diabetes.  Conjugated linoleic acid has also been found to reduce the storage of post-meal fat, so it can control weight.  Not only that, cheese has always been a good source of calcium.  Calcium can not only prevent osteoporosis, but also strengthen bones and teeth.  For those whose stomachs are uncomfortable when drinking milk, cheese is a source of calcium that the body can quickly absorb.

        The nutritionist Gayle Reichler of the author of Active Wellness in the United States recommends eating strong blue cheese or fresh goat cheese. These cheeses are artificial  It has fewer spices, and the goat milk cheese has only 23 calories per ounce (31.1 grams), while the average Chedda Cheese has 114 calories.
