Sichuan food is delicious, oily and heavy. Why is the obesity index of Sichuan people lower than that of many areas?

One of the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine is its high oil content. For example, Chongqing hot pot, boiled fish and mala Tang are not eating vegetables, but fishing for oil. Almost all Sichuan dishes look like they have been soaked in oil. Don't fry, I can't wait to cook a dish in the oil pan.

However, the overall image of Sichuanese is capable, capable and healthy, and they rarely have a big belly. This is one side of the soil and water to support one side, but it is not fat. There are three reasons:

The first one is oily and slippery. Most of the oil in Sichuan cuisine is vegetable oil, only hot pot has some butter, and meat dishes have some animal oil. Edible oil has one characteristic. Eating too much at a time will be absorbed by the stomach, and eating too much will make the intestines slippery. So people who eat Sichuan food for a long time rarely get constipated. It is said that eating so many peppers will cause constipation. But they won't, just because they eat too much oil.

Second, the staple food is diluted. The main external condition for people to gain weight is long-term excessive consumption of staple food. Carbohydrates are high-content sugars, including 76% rice, 72% corn and 73% wheat flour. In other words, there is 0.76 kg of sugar in a catty of rice.

Sichuanese don't eat like northerners, and the scallion dipped in sauce fills the cake tube. They don't wolf down their meals, and they don't chew slowly like Cantonese. Sichuanese mainly eat vegetables, supplemented by staple food. Relatively speaking, if you eat more vegetables, the proportion of staple food will be smaller. This way, you won't eat too many staple foods and get fat easily.

Third, be diligent and active. Sichuanese are energetic, lively and active, and seldom sit still. Even playing games, I am very happy and my whole body is moving. When you exercise a lot, you will consume more, and the excess fat will be consumed before you can store it.

0 1, Sichuan people's staple food carbohydrate is low.

First of all, diet structure is closely related to obesity.

In the northern region with the highest obesity index, the proportion of carbohydrates in the dietary structure is very high, with fine pasta (such as noodles and steamed bread) as the main food, rather than coarse grains.

However, in Sichuan people's diet, carbohydrates account for a small proportion, and have a wide range of ingredients, so they eat more miscellaneous.

Common healthy foods rich in carbohydrates include brown rice, grains, whole wheat flour, oats, beans, potatoes, fruits and so on.

Fine carbohydrate mainly refers to sugar food and fine flour food processed by modern industry.

Including white rice, white noodles, steamed bread, white bread, biscuits, cakes, sweets, sugary drinks and so on.

They have a high glycemic index, which can quickly raise blood sugar in a short time and provide high calories, but the excess calories will be stored as fat.

A large intake of fine carbohydrates has become the chief culprit in promoting obesity.

In the diet structure of Sichuan people, because the proportion of carbohydrates is relatively low, people in areas that love pasta are less likely to get fat.

02. Eating hot pot slowly will make you feel full.

Sichuanese often eat hot pot for a long time.

You can eat anything delicious when you are in the dragon gate array 1-2 hours. Eating hot pot slowly will actually increase satiety, and the actual food you eat is not as much as you think.

The risk of getting fat while eating is more than four times that of chewing slowly.

Researchers at Okayama University in Japan confirmed through follow-up investigation that eating fast can easily lead to obesity, and its obesity rate is very obvious.

Compared with other eating habits such as greasy and overeating, eating too fast affects your weight.

Experts suggest that in order to prevent middle-aged obesity from causing hypertension and diabetes, young people should get rid of the bad habit of eating fast food in time.

Experts in the field of oral care and obesity treatment suggest that a mouthful of rice should be chewed 20 to 30 times.

So, when eating, you can learn about the "slowness" of Sichuanese ~

03. Butter is less harmful in hot pot.

The butter used in Chongqing hot pot is saturated fatty acid, which is the most stable fatty acid.

Eating hot pot is a long-term, high-temperature and repeated cooking process, in which only saturated fat can be stabilized from oxidation.

If you use vegetable oil, cooking for a long time is actually equivalent to gutter oil. Oil has been oxidized, which will seriously affect the metabolism of the body and promote inflammation in the body, and obesity is often related to inflammation.

For oil, the harm of oxidized oil far exceeds that of saturated fat. The human body needs a certain proportion of saturated fat, which is similar to the natural proportion in the body, that is, 10%, but the human body does not need oxidized fat at all.

Moreover, there are many fat-soluble vitamins in natural butter, and the cost is high.

If you eat butter hot pot, the soup base is only used to brush the pot. If you don't consume a lot of oil, it must be that butter is much better than vegetable oil!

Moreover, you should pay attention to cooking at ordinary times. If you use vegetable oil, don't cook it repeatedly at high temperature for a long time, otherwise the oil will oxidize in the pot, which is the most harmful to your health.

04, Sichuan heavy oil, but not much oil.

Many people think that Sichuan food is very spicy and oily. Eating Sichuan food will eat up all the oil in your stomach. In fact, this is not objective enough.

People think greasy dishes, such as boiled meat slices, boiled fish, boiled beef, boiled bullfrog and so on. Actually, it just looks oily.

Vegetable oil or soybean oil floats on the surface of these dishes. These oils have been refined by dozens of spices, and their main function is to improve the taste, which is not directly eaten by people.

Secondly, there are many light dishes in Sichuan cuisine, all of which are home-cooked dishes, mainly stewed, boiled and fried.

For example, boiled cabbage is a light Sichuan dish. It was originally created by the famous Sichuan cuisine chef Huang when he was in the imperial dining hall of the Qing Palace. Later, it was carried forward by Luo, a master of Sichuan cuisine, and became a boutique at the state banquet.

This kind of light food is also a "frequent visitor" on the table of Sichuanese.

Mainly drinking tea, including morning tea, 10 morning to noon tea, afternoon tea, afternoon tea, evening tea and night tea after staying up late. Teahouses, tea shops, tea houses and tea shops can be seen everywhere. Tea plays a very important role in the diet structure of Sichuan people. A day without food is better than a day without tea!

For reference!

Why is Sichuan people's obesity index low? 1. Sichuanese's staple food is low in carbohydrate.

Obesity is closely related to diet structure. The proportion of carbohydrates in the northern diet is very high, mainly fine pasta, while the proportion of carbohydrates in the Sichuan diet is relatively small, and the ingredients are extensive and the food is mixed.

2. Eating hot pot slowly will make you feel full.

Sichuanese often eat hot pot for a long time. Chewing slowly will actually increase satiety, so there is not as much food as you think.

3. Sichuan heavy oil, but not much oil.

Many people think Sichuan food is very spicy and oily. They think that eating Sichuan food means eating all the oil in the stomach. In fact, dishes like boiled pork slices and boiled beef are just visually oily.

Soybean oil or vegetable oil floats on the surface of these dishes, and its main function is to improve taste, so people don't eat it directly.

Most importantly, there are many light dishes in Sichuan cuisine, and they are all home-cooked dishes, mainly stewed, boiled and fried.

The original flavor of Sichuan cuisine is all kinds of dishes, which are both healthy and original.

As we all know, Sichuanese love spicy food. Because Sichuan is located in the basin, the climate is humid, and eating peppers can dispel cold and dehumidify, so peppers have become an essential ingredient for Sichuanese. Eating Chili peppers can accelerate blood circulation, improve metabolism and help the human body burn more calories.

According to Purdue University, people will burn more calories and reduce their appetite after eating red peppers. But it doesn't mean that eating peppers is a way to lose weight, but on the basis of a healthy diet, eating peppers has a positive effect on weight control.

Second, Sichuanese have small skeletons, so slight obesity is not too obvious. People with skeletons are more likely to get fat visually.

Third, Sichuan food is not for direct eating. As a daily seasoning, you won't eat so much oil directly into your stomach, so naturally you won't be obese because of this.

Agree with the view that there are few staple foods. I eat in a small bowl at home. After I married a province in central China, I was directly laughed at for feeding cats.

Good things in the world are not forced, colorful clouds are fragile, and glass is fragile. In our life, there will always be regrets of one kind or another, which makes us regret it and hope that time can go back.

In our eyes, Sichuan cuisine has always been spicy with heavy oil. When you see Sichuan food on the dining table, it is often a big pot with a lot of peppers in it. Sichuanese can eat spicy food and love spicy food. They like spicy and greasy food. This has something to do with the local environment where they live.

Look at Maoxuewang, spicy fish head, hot pot and other dishes in Sichuan cuisine. The hot oil inside is really scary. But it's strange why Sichuanese eat so much oil and so much spicy food. Sichuanese are seldom fat, and girls in Sichuan are very beautiful.

After searching for some answers, I finally understood.

Although Sichuanese love to eat heavy oil and spicy food, they actually eat less oil. In order to have a spicy taste, a dish is often filled with peppers, but there are few ingredients. Although it is a big pot of rice, I eat very little food.

Moreover, Sichuanese eat less staple food when they eat these heavy oils and spicy foods. As we all know, as long as the elements that make people fat are carbohydrates and sugar, these two are the most likely to make people fat. Sichuanese eat less staple food. Compared with other areas, people here prefer to eat sweet potato powder and the like, so there are fewer fat people in Sichuan.

Sichuanese like to eat hot pot slowly. It is normal to chew slowly. This has advantages. Chewing slowly can easily make people feel full and make people lose their appetite without knowing it. Therefore, even if they eat hot pot, Sichuanese can control their food intake without eating too much or eating enough.

Isn't such a lovely me worthy of attention?

The oil is heavy and spicy, just passing through the intestine.

Cereals are more suitable for China people's intestines. The staple food of Sichuanese is rice. I used to eat after watching the food, but now the food is rich and I always eat rice. After big fish and big meat, you still have to eat some kimchi. Sichuanese "shuttle rice" with kimchi, while rice is "cut with oil". Sichuanese believe that medicine and food are of the same origin, and even peasant women know which dishes are clear and which are beneficial. The main meals of Sichuan cuisine are cold dishes with wine, hot dishes with rice, clear soup with mouthwash (to restore oral acid-base balance). As for eating rice to gain weight, it is studied by foreigners and can only be used for reference.

First of all, the oil used in Sichuan cooking is vegetable oil, and the fat content is not high.

Second, there are many kinds of vegetables in Sichuan cuisine, and the proportion of meat is small (compared with northern cuisine such as Northeast cuisine and Northwest cuisine).

Third, Sichuanese don't eat much (compared with northerners) and eat less staple food (compared with northerners).

Finally, there is a saying that eating spicy food actually helps to lose weight, because pepper is rich in vitamin C, which can accelerate the digestion and absorption of ingested food. At the same time, the capsaicin it contains can accelerate the decomposition of fat.
