In winter, the metabolism slows down, our human body moves less, and the amount of water we drink is not much, so we must control the dietary structure, in addition to the above I told you that you can eat more of these 6 kinds of vegetables, and some are to eat less, such as fried food, overly salty food, pickled food, overnight food and out-of-season food.
First of all, although fried foods are delicious, they tend to be high in fat and calories, and at the same time, fried foods can also produce some harmful substances that cause chronic damage to our health. Therefore, in winter, we should try to avoid eating fried food and choose healthy cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and stewing.
In winter, we need to drink more water to maintain the balance of water in the body, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to controlling the intake of oil and salt in food to avoid unnecessary burden on the body.
In addition, pickled foods often contain too much salt and additives, which can easily lead to health problems such as indigestion when consumed for a long time. Especially in winter, the body's need for salt is relatively reduced due to lower temperatures, so we should try to minimize the intake of preserved foods.
In addition, overnight food is also something to avoid. Overnight food can easily harbor bacteria and toxins, posing a threat to our gastrointestinal health. Especially in winter, when temperatures are lower, the risk of bacterial growth is higher. Therefore, we should minimise the storage and consumption of overnight food to keep it fresh and hygienic.
Finally, winter is the cold season of the year, and our bodies need more nutrients to boost immunity. Therefore, it is not wise to choose out-of-season foods. Most of the fruits and vegetables in spring and summer need to be transported over long distances, and the nutritional value will be reduced for a longer storage time. In contrast, locally grown fruits and vegetables in winter are fresher and more nutritious. We can choose citrus fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, grapefruits, etc., to boost immunity.
