save from the mouth
control your meals the latest report on nutrition and chronic diseases of Chinese residents (2015) shows that the overweight rate of adults over 18 years old is as high as 30.1%. In order to cope with this trend, I advocate that we should learn to control and “save” the amount of food before eating delicious food, so that we can feel full at seven points of each meal, that is, we feel that our stomach is not full yet, but our enthusiasm for food has declined, and our eating speed has obviously slowed down. If we remove the food, we will soon forget to eat. Concentrate on eating, chew carefully and swallow slowly, eat less white rice noodles and more coarse grains, and it is easy to grasp the feeling of being full.
oil reducing salt the dietary guidelines for Chinese residents recommend that each person should not use more than 25 grams of oil and 6 grams of salt per day. However, the latest data show that in 2012, the average daily consumption of oil and salt in China was 41 grams and 10.5 grams, which obviously exceeded the standard. Saving oil and salt in cooking is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. If you want to develop a light eating habit, you should first choose cooking methods with less oil, such as cooking, stewing and stewing; Secondly, learn to use oil pots and other measuring tools to use oil quantitatively; Third, eat less pickled vegetables, pickled foods and other salty foods; Fourth, in addition to salt, the use of soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and other high sodium condiments should be reduced.
drink less sweet drinks sweet drinks can make people inadvertently take in too many calories, resulting in excess energy. If you don’t rinse your mouth in time after drinking, the residual sugar in your mouth will also produce acidic substances and damage your teeth. The content of phosphoric acid in carbonated drinks is high, and excessive intake may cause bone calcium loss and fracture. Instead of spending money to buy sweet drinks with so many health risks, it is better to make a cup of green tea and boil a pot of mung bean soup at home. Of course, boiled water is the best drink for all ages.
don’t always go to restaurants a study by the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that when eating out, the fat and sodium intake in one meal has exceeded the recommended amount for the whole day. During social intercourse, people may also drink more sweet drinks and alcohol. Health disadvantages are the combination of the above three points. I suggest you go home to eat, which not only saves money, but also helps prevent chronic diseases and improve family relations. If you have to eat out, you’d better eat less salty dishes such as casserole, dry pot and brine. The main food should be light white rice, white steamed bread and steamed coarse grain. You should eat less salted pasta such as noodles, dumplings and homemade cakes.
buy less foreign food many consumers think that imported food is safer and more nutritious, but not necessarily. Although developed countries have relatively perfect legal systems in food safety, it is difficult to eliminate occasional quality accidents in production. The “list of unqualified imported food” regularly published by the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people’s Republic of China shows this. In addition, some foreign foods, especially fruits and vegetables, may not only increase transportation costs, but also deteriorate and lose nutrients in the process, which is not necessarily better than local foods. Rather than blindly pursuing imported fruits and vegetables from afar, it is better to save money, buy fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables with better local maturity and less loss of nutritional value, and maintain a rich variety.
save from non necessities
save money on cigarettes there are more than 300 million smokers in China, 72.4% of non-smokers are exposed to second-hand smoke, and 1.366 million people die of tobacco related diseases every year. Smoking not only increases the risk of lung cancer, myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases, but also seriously threatens the health of family members. It’s better to save this money and take the initiative to quit smoking for yourself and your family.
less cosmetics a large number of studies and reports indicate that at present, tens of thousands of chemicals are added to cosmetics. Long term and large-scale use of cosmetics may lead to allergy, infertility, cancer, etc. A healthy lifestyle is the best “cosmetics”. It is recommended to drink 6-8 cups of water every day to replenish moisture for the skin; Reasonable diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and get rich nutrition; Wash your face with warm water in the morning and evening to clean grease and dirt; Sleep well and don’t stay up late. By doing this, we can not only save the expenditure on cosmetics, but also create a natural beauty from the inside out.
detergent is saved while bringing convenience to people, detergents and disinfectants in life may also cause chemical pollution, resulting in gastrointestinal discomfort, skin itching, poor breathing, and even children’s blood diseases. In fact, we don’t need too much detergent at home, and we should also save it when we have to use it. Too much can not only enhance the cleaning effect, but also easily cause residues. It is recommended to use hot water, rice soup, noodle soup, corn flour, wheat flour, pea flour and other natural substances, which have good degreasing effect and no pollution.
save power when using air conditioning in summer, many people rely on air conditioning, but staying in an air-conditioned environment for a long time is harmful to their health, and their waist and legs are easy to catch cold and get sore; The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, and it is easy to catch a cold. Some office buildings use central air conditioning, and the temperature is too low. Office workers even wear thin sweaters to keep out the cold, which not only wastes energy, but also is more harmful to health. When using air conditioners in summer, it is best to think about “saving power”, avoid long-term use, and do not set the temperature too low, which should not be lower than 26 degrees Celsius.
introspection
“Physical and mental exhaustion” and “mental and physical exhaustion” are the true portrayals of many people’s mood at present. It is urgent to learn to “save our minds”.
Before the age of 40, people often take the initiative to add, seek knowledge, mate, make progress, and strive for houses, cars and children. At this stage, people had better “save” themselves three times a day, consciously reflect and check their behavior, be busy without rushing about, and pay attention to decompression while defining goals.
After the age of 40, we should do subtraction, change what can be changed, accept what can not be changed, reduce our lust for money, reduce our unrealistic ideas, and “gain calmly, lose calmly, and let nature take its course”. Only in this way can we be full of sunshine. After entering the old age, we should be relieved, but many old people in life are not like this. They always worry about whether their younger generation will get married, have children, or have a second child. In old age, people should learn to delegate power, adjust their vision from outside to inside, pay more attention to their own physical and mental health, and remember that “children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don’t be a horse and ox to children and grandchildren”, and don’t worry too much about the younger generation.
save from sports
Some people do not exercise at ordinary times and take vigorous exercise on weekends. Doing so is very easy to cause excessive exercise and sports injury, such as climbing mountains on weekends, excessive exercise and sudden heart disease; Lack of exercise at ordinary times, playing football or basketball at weekends, and excessive intensity will lead to cramps or muscle strains. We encourage exercise, but we recommend scientific and moderate exercise. People who exercise less often and elderly friends should pay more attention to “saving energy”. They should not do heavy and antagonistic exercise, but should mainly do slow aerobic exercise. In addition, many people only know that “movement” is exercise, but they don’t know that “quiet” is also exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine stresses the “combination of movement and static”. Therefore, in addition to external exercise, it also recommends internal exercise to regulate the mind. Meditation and yoga are good choices.
