It's getting colder and colder. It should be the warmest thing in winter to sit around the hot pot with three or five friends. However, after eating, many people will have various problems, such as oral fire, swollen and painful gums, esophageal burns, and even gastrointestinal dysfunction. In fact, eating hot pot is very particular. If you can't master the correct method of eating hot pot, it may have some impact on your health. The first step to health It's important to choose the right partner 1. Soup bottom The first choice is clear soup pot, mushroom pot and tomato pot, and the bottom of high soup (high purine and fat) and butter spicy (high heat and high salt) pot are less selected. Many diners like to drink a hot pot soup bottom. Whether the soup bottom can be drunk depends on the situation: the "plain" soup bottom such as clear soup and mushroom soup can be drunk properly when boiled for the first time. It is not recommended to drink the soup bottom that has been boiled for a long time; At the end of meat soup, purine and fat content are high. Friends with gout and dyslipidemia are not recommended to drink it. 2. Dipping The taste of hot pot is equal to high-quality ingredients + soup bottom + soul dip. Diners who usually eat light can try oil vinegar juice, and then put some scallion, mashed garlic and coriander. If you choose sesame sauce, Shacha sauce, spicy sauce and other heavy oil and salt dipping materials, you can take less and dilute it with some hot water, which tastes good. 3. Rinsing sequence Rinse the vegetables first and then the meat. If you rinse the meat first, there will inevitably be excess fat in the soup. Then put the vegetables, and the excess oil will be absorbed by the vegetables. In addition, eating some vegetables first is also conducive to satiety, which can effectively avoid eating a lot of meat. The recommended ratio of vegetables to meat is 2:1 or 3:1. While eating hot pot, you should scoop out the floating foam and oil in the soup regularly, and then add some boiling water. In addition, vegetables are not easy to rinse for too long to avoid massive destruction of nutrients, but meat must be rinsed for a long time and cooked before eating, otherwise bacteria or parasites cannot be completely killed, which may cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as diarrhea. 4. Hot pot balls There is another important supporting role in Shabu hot pot, that is, all kinds of balls. Most of the hot pot balls are made from fish tail, starch, edible gelatin, and collocation with the corresponding flavors. Many low-cost shrimp balls and crab balls do not even contain shrimp or crab meat, but add seafood seasoning powder. This kind of bionic food is a new food with similar natural food taste made of artificial raw materials. It only imitates natural marine food in appearance and taste, but its nutritional value is far from that of native marine food. Most nutrients are provided by starch, which is not only of low nutritional value, but also easy to exceed the energy limit when eating too much. 5. Drinks "Happy fat house water" cola and other soft drinks can also drive the atmosphere when eating hot pot. With the hot ingredients just out of the pot and ice cola, the "dance" of taste buds is much softer immediately. However, here's a reminder. It's best to choose drinks at room temperature or warm. After eating hot dishes, the gastrointestinal system expands, and then drink cold drinks immediately. The warm stomach is suddenly stimulated by cold, which is easy to lead to gastrointestinal disorders; In addition, sugar free drinks can also be preferred to reduce the intake of excess energy and sugar. In fact, warm water, light tea, light lemonade and cucumber juice are good choices to clear the mouth and relieve greasiness. Health step 2 Clever diet arrangement the next day Eating hot pot should be slow rather than hot. The temperature of the ingredients boiled in hot pot can be as high as 120 ℃, while the oral cavity, esophagus and gastric mucosa can only tolerate the temperature of about 50 ℃. If the import temperature is too high, it is easy to scald the mucosa and affect the happiness of eating the next meal. If the hot pot tastes spicy, salty and oily, remember to drink more water. The next day's diet is light. You can choose animal foods that are easy to digest, and pay attention to the cooking methods, such as steaming and quick frying. You can also choose vegetables rich in dietary fiber to scrape oil and water to reduce the burden of the gastrointestinal tract. Finally, I would like to remind all diners that there is no beauty or evil in things, and too much will lead to disaster. It is most appropriate to eat hot pot for seven or eight minutes, and the time of rinsing pot should not be too long. (outlook new era)
