No meat and vegetables?

When there is something wrong with our health, doctors often tell us to eat lightly besides prescribing medicine. So what is a light diet? Many people think that a light diet means drinking porridge, while others think that they only eat vegetables without meat. However, this is not the case. What the doctor said about a light diet is not what you think.

Many people think that a light diet means that you can't eat meat, but you can only be vegetarian. Porridge dishes are the best match. They should be cooked and not greasy. In fact, always eating this light and single food will also cause problems.

Because the human body needs to supplement a lot of nutrients every day, if you only eat boiled vegetables, people who are not sick will have problems such as anemia, malnutrition and decreased immunity. It is also extremely unfavorable for patients who have just had surgery and need fitness.

Light diet is actually relative to foods with high sweetness, high fat, greasy and heavy taste, so its standard is light, less oil, less salt and less sugar. If you fry vegetables with a lot of oil, it is not a light diet, so it cannot be simply understood that eating vegetables is a light diet.

A light diet is also very particular about cooking methods. We should try our best to keep the nutrients of food, reflect the original flavor and ensure that food is easy to digest. Therefore, among many cooking methods, we still prefer boiling, cold salad and steaming. Barbecue, frying, stir-frying and hot pot, which everyone likes very much, are naturally not light diets.

We mentioned above that we should pay attention to less oil, less salt and less sugar in our diet. Usually, we often say that we should put a little sugar in our diet plans and cooking recipes. So what is the concept of "less" and is there any standard?

1, less salt

Many people think that the taste is heavy before eating, and cooking can be done without oil, but the salt must be put enough to taste. Especially for the elderly, the daily salt intake is relatively high. However, eating too much salt is not good for your health. Adults should not use more than 5 grams of salt every day, otherwise it may cause diseases such as high blood pressure.

2, less sugar, less oil

The daily intake of sugar and oil should be controlled within 25g. You can measure it with your own spoon. Twenty-five grams is about several spoons, so you can have a good idea. Many people like sweets and drinks. The sugar content in drinks is very high, and long-term drinking may lead to diabetes.

The real light diet is to maintain a balanced, comprehensive and reasonable nutrition. On the basis of varieties, try to make cooking simple and taste light, instead of light boiled vegetables and rice porridge. You got it?
