If you can eat enough fish and egg milk every day, you really don't need to add protein powder. Even if you go to the gym to gain muscle, unless you are a bodybuilder, the average person only needs to eat one or two lean meats and one or two eggs more than usual. But protein powder is not without its merits. The lack of protein is really harmful to health. When the proportion of protein in the diet is too low, people are prone to puffiness, physical weakness, fatigue, fear of cold, weak digestion and edema. Especially for the elderly with little muscle, poor digestion and small appetite, it is necessary to ensure the supply of protein.
However, many elderly people are afraid of high cholesterol, afraid to eat fish, eggs and milk, and their diet is insufficient in protein. Supplementing protein powder at this time is really good for their health. In the hospital, many postoperative patients can't get enough protein from food because of their poor digestion and absorption ability, so they need to be supplemented with enteral nutrition. It is very effective to use hydrolyzed protein products. To sum up, if you have a good mouth and normal digestion, and there is no shortage of fish, eggs and milk, don't spend a lot of money on protein powder.
Grape seed capsule mainly supplements antioxidant "proanthocyanidins", which is helpful to some people who lack antioxidant substances, but it does not have the legendary magical "whitening effect". Because proanthocyanidins can reduce the activities of various digestive enzymes and affect the absorption and utilization of various trace elements, women with daily indigestion, anemia, zinc deficiency and fear of cold should never supplement grape seed capsules. Otherwise, not only can it not turn white, but it may make your face yellow, your digestive ability worse, and your body more susceptible to cold. It is more important to find out why your face is yellow, and don't think that grape seed capsules are skin whitening agents.
Studies at home and abroad have not confirmed that organic food has higher nutritional value than non-organic food, or even better. People in European countries support organic food mainly to encourage this environmentally friendly production method, not because it contains more nutrients. However, some studies show that the content of flavonoids and other antioxidants in organic food seems to be higher than that in non-organic food under the same soil and water environment conditions. As for the occasional news exposure, it is said that pesticides that should not be used have been detected in organic fruits and vegetables, which are only a few products and cannot be generalized. Organic products such as grains, beans and nuts are relatively reliable. Those who support environmental protection can buy organic food, and those who want to improve safety can also buy organic food, but they can't expect organic food to have super high nutritional value.
Milk, goat milk and all kinds of milk are rich in calcium, including human milk. It is of little significance to increase calcium content on the basis of this high calcium content. The author made a survey a few years ago and found that the consumers who buy high-calcium milk mainly don't know the basic common sense that "milk itself is rich in calcium".
In fact, the calcium content of high-calcium milk is higher than that of ordinary milk 15%-20%. Nowadays, high-calcium milk is rare in Beijing market. Why? I guess it's because it can't meet the national standard. According to the requirements of GB28050-20 1 1, if it is claimed to increase the content of a certain nutrient, it will be at least 25% higher than that of ordinary similar products. For milk, it is very difficult to add so much calcium, which easily leads to the instability of milk sol system. Therefore, forget the concept of high-calcium milk, drink more ordinary milk yogurt and eat more green vegetables and tofu, and calcium will naturally come.
It must be right to say that eating fish oil is not as good as eating marine fish directly. Because marine fish not only contains fish oil, but also contains protein, various vitamins and trace elements. Studies have shown that eating non-fried marine fish 2-3 times a week is conducive to preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive decline in the elderly, and is also conducive to ensuring the intellectual development of fetuses and babies. But the effect of eating fish oil is not consistent. However, we can't deny that fish oil is useful in some cases. For example, people in some areas can't eat fish every day, vegetarians refuse to eat fish, and it is meaningful for women to follow the advice of professionals to supplement fish oil properly during pregnancy or certain diseases.
The article says that sea cucumber is not better than eggs, because there are not so many eggs in protein. This statement is a bit extreme. Eating sea cucumber is definitely not to supplement protein. The protein content of sea cucumber is not as good as that of eggs, which does not mean that it has no other benefits, such as immune regulation and anti-fatigue. These benefits are based on animal experimental data. As for whether the effect is so magical, I'm afraid it varies from person to person. Don't expect too much.
If you are often tired, it is better to find other reasons, such as too little exercise, unreasonable nutrition, insufficient sleep, or too much work pressure. If you don't find the reason and just want to eat a sea cucumber, I'm afraid it's not rational enough.
Taking hangover medicine really can't eliminate all the hazards of drinking. Even because they think that there are "anti-hangover drugs to protect their health", some people have confidence, and drinking too much when drinking is likely to backfire. China suggests that men should drink no more than 25g and women should drink no more than15g every day. The United States recommends that men should not exceed 24 grams of alcohol and women should not exceed 12 grams. On the wine table, there is basically nothing that does not exceed this limit. Being drunk is acute poisoning, and not being drunk is also chronic poisoning. Drinking more than the recommended amount for a long time will not only harm the digestive tract, liver and blood vessels, but also increase the risk of various cancers. I'm afraid the hangover medicine won't solve it.
The "enzyme oral liquid" on the market and the "fruit enzyme" brewed at home are not "enzyme preparations", but the product category clearly says "fruit and vegetable fermentation liquid". Therefore, it is a bit irrelevant to prove that the enzyme oral liquid is useless by using "the enzyme will be inactivated when it enters the intestine". Recently, many domestic research papers show that this fruit and vegetable fermentation broth contains a variety of organic acids, reducing sugars, a variety of B vitamins, and there may be other trace metabolites. However, the research in this field is still in the primary stage. How much health care effect it can produce, what fermentation technology is the most reasonable and how much it is the most suitable to drink need further study. It should be reminded that the self-made fruit and vegetable fermentation broth is not suitable as a beverage, and it is appropriate to drink 100 ml every day. A small amount of methanol and ethyl carbamate may be produced during brewing, both of which are toxic substances, so be careful.
I was the first to question children's soy sauce. My problem is that the bottle is small and more expensive than ordinary soy sauce, but it is not much different from ordinary soy sauce, and its composition and nutrition are similar. Not that it will be harmful, but that it is not a product more suitable for children. Sodium is not low, the nutritional value is not necessarily high, and there is no relevant standard. So just buy ordinary high-quality soy sauce.
It is illegal to say that stomach-nourishing biscuits are unreliable, that is, they have no health food certification, but they want to claim health care efficacy. Compared with ordinary food, it is too expensive to sell. However, the online article said that stomach-nourishing biscuits are not as good as soda biscuits, which is a bit off topic. Soda biscuits are not necessarily good for the stomach, nor are they good for patients with low gastric acid, but they may temporarily relieve discomfort for patients with excessive gastric acid. Simply put, don't eat two cookies, just eat three meals directly.
How high is the nutritional value of first-born eggs? Without data, it is difficult to evaluate whether some trace components are higher than other eggs. Eggs contain hundreds of protein, lecithin, lutein, zeaxanthin, 12 vitamins and various trace elements, not only protein. But generally speaking, even if an egg is slightly different from other eggs in some micronutrient indexes, it is difficult to play an obvious role in its daily nutritional supply.
The difference between brown sugar and ordinary brown sugar is that it has a high degree of Maillard reaction, and its color is particularly dark after cooking for a long time. Maillard reaction produces aroma, so the flavor of brown sugar is stronger than that of ordinary brown sugar. However, there is also a side effect-the acrylamide content is high. Acrylamide is a by-product of Maillard reaction. It appears in heated carbohydrate foods with dark colors, such as potato chips, fried dough sticks, bread crust, coffee and so on. According to the data measured by Taiwan Province Consumers Association, the acrylamide content of brown sugar is as high as 1000 μ g/kg, and the highest sample reaches 2740 μ g/kg. If you like the taste of brown sugar, it is ok to drink a cup to comfort yourself when you are unwell, and it is unwise to drink a lot every day for health preservation.
Black Lycium barbarum is indeed the highest anthocyanin content in food on the market at present, which is proved by literature. It is unfair to say that it is not as good as eggplant, purple cabbage and purple potato. But if the price is included, the price of anthocyanin per unit is too expensive. Spend the same money, if you buy purple cabbage and purple potato, you will get more anthocyanins.
Propolis products have been certified as health food, and reliable experimental procedures show that it has immunomodulatory function. Some propolis products may be approved for blood lipid regulation or blood glucose regulation on the basis of immunomodulation. It is a bit extreme to say that there is no effect, but it is not as magical as curing all diseases.
