Drinking high alcohol or a large amount of low alcohol alcohol can cause liver damage, swelling, damage to the nervous system, and can also lead to premature aging symptoms such as decreased male sexual function, sperm abnormalities, irregular menstruation in women, irregular ovulation, and decreased libido.
Aging is a natural law. When people reach middle age, they will gradually suffer from aging symptoms such as poor skin elasticity, increased wrinkles, thinning hair, decreased hearing and vision, decreased memory, and decreased immunity, and may also suffer from "senile diseases" such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and tumors. Although there are many reasons for premature aging, some are related to improper dietary habits and consumption of aging inducing foods. Experts suggest that the following types of food should be consumed less:
Spoiled food
Rotten and spoiled food often contains toxins secreted by bacteria and food spoilage products, which can interfere with human metabolism and affect the normal function of human tissues. For example, the toxins in rotting fruits can cause nerve paralysis or trigger renal failure, promoting premature aging. Some toxins produced by moldy foods can even have carcinogenic effects, such as aflatoxin, mottled aflatoxin, rod-shaped aflatoxin, red penicillotoxin, B fumonisins, Herceptin, etc.
Reminder: Keep food well and avoid spoilage. Try to eat fresh, high-quality food and avoid moldy foods, especially moldy peanuts, corn, and sugarcane.
Pickled products
When pickling vegetables, fish, meat, chicken, and other foods, nitrite is produced, including nitrite that is actively added to make the meat look good and prevent the growth of botulinum toxin. Nitrite is easy to react with the secondary amine generated during protein degradation to generate nitrosamine, which can not only cause premature aging, but also is a carcinogen.
Kind reminder: China has clear regulations on the amount of nitrate and nitrite in meat products, and merchants should strictly follow national hygiene standards and not add more. In fact, salted chicken, salted fish, and salted meat are not "good foods". It's okay to eat a small amount occasionally, but they should not be eaten frequently, and should not exceed 100 grams per day.
One thing to remind everyone is that nitrite and nitrosamines will not decrease due to heating and cooking.
Eating vegetables is most important for freshness. Eat cooked vegetables as early as possible and refrigerate any excess. Do not eat large amounts of freshly marinated vegetables. When pickling vegetables, 15% to 20% salt is used in spring and autumn, and more than 10% salt is used in winter. Eating pickled vegetables should be done within 4 hours after pickling, as the nitrate in the vegetables has not yet been converted into nitrite. Otherwise, it will take more than 15 days to eat, preferably more than 20 days.
Rancid food
Oils and high fat foods (such as bacon, ham, biscuits, dried fish, etc.) are prone to oxidation after being stored for a long time, especially when exposed to sunlight or heat, producing peroxidized lipid toxins such as aldehydes and ketones, resulting in a sour and rancid taste. These peroxidized lipids can destroy essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins in fats and promote aging with the help of the human enzyme system.
Reminder: Oily and high fat foods should be eaten fresh, and do not wait until they have a hala flavor before eating; If there is a noticeable sour taste, it should be thrown away without hesitation. This type of food should be stored at low temperatures, but not below the freezing temperature of 0 ℃, as foods with high salt and fat content are more prone to rancidity and spoilage when frozen.
Alcoholic beverages
Drinking high alcohol or a large amount of low alcohol alcohol can cause liver damage, swelling, damage to the nervous system, and can also lead to premature aging symptoms such as decreased male sexual function, sperm abnormalities, irregular menstruation in women, irregular ovulation, and decreased libido.
Kind reminder: It is best not to drink high alcohol, but to drink a little wine, yellow wine, and beer in moderation. In terms of alcohol, the daily alcohol consumption of men does not exceed 25g, that is, 250ml of wine and yellow rice wine, 750ml of beer and 50ml of high Baijiu; Women should not consume more than 15 grams of alcohol every day, that is, 150 milliliters of wine and yellow rice wine, 450 milliliters of beer, and 30 milliliters of highly Baijiu.
Aluminum containing food
Too much aluminum can disrupt the function of genetic material DNA in nerve cells, and can also block nerve conduction, causing intellectual decline, memory impairment, and susceptibility to dementia. Deep-fried dough sticks, fried pancakes and puffed food are specially added with alum (aluminum sulfate), so they should be eaten as little as possible.
Reminder: Aluminum containing foods will not be damaged by heating and should be consumed less. Pots and pots made of cooked aluminum can be used for cooking, Congee and water, but do not cook acidic dishes and soup. The pan made of raw aluminum (frying pan) can be used to steam dishes and Mantou. It is better not to use it for frying dishes, let alone for burning and frying acidic food. Aluminum cookware should also not store acidic food. Do not polish the inner surface of aluminum pots and kettles that come into contact with food, as the dark surface is made of aluminum oxide, which has a good effect on preventing aluminum from dissolving. Some families place too much emphasis on hygiene, wiping both the outside and inside of the pot, resulting in the destruction of the natural "protective layer" on the inside of the pot, exposing metal aluminum, which is harmful to people and not beneficial. To avoid consuming too much aluminum, it is best to use an iron pan for stir frying and a stainless steel or aluminum alloy pan for cooking.
Fried, smoked, and grilled foods
Making this type of food requires high-temperature treatment, resulting in a significant loss of nutrients, especially the destruction of vitamins. The loss of vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 in fried pork tenderloin was 43% and 38%, respectively; When frying deep-fried dough sticks, all the vitamin B1 in the flour is damaged, and vitamin B2 is damaged by about 50%. Frequent consumption of foods lacking vitamins can affect the normal metabolism of the human body and accelerate the aging process. In high-temperature environments, especially when burned or roasted, proteins and fats can transform into carcinogenic compounds such as benzopyrene, while starch burning can produce carcinogenic acrylamide. When smoking food, the food will directly contact with the smoke, so that carcinogen will be adsorbed on the food and go deep into the food with the extension of storage time. If you often eat food containing carcinogen, it will cause premature aging.
Tips: Some people call fried, smoked and barbecued food "junk food", which is not scientific. After all, these foods have good color, aroma, and taste, which can provide people with beautiful enjoyment. The fat, protein, and carbohydrates they contain are also essential nutrients for human health, but it is only by eating too much that they have adverse effects on human health. So, how to balance these foods? We should advocate "avoiding harm and promoting profit", and not eat too often or too much at once; When eating fried, smoked, or grilled foods, one should also eat more vegetables or fruits. In addition, the carcinogen benzopyrene produced in high temperature frying and barbecue can be partially decomposed under the action of human salivary enzymes. The longer the food is in contact with saliva, the better the detoxification effect will be. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone eat this type of food slowly and gracefully, and never wolf it down.
