According to the US-based Chinese-language newspaper, Qiao Bao, with the arrival of summer, many women's desires become increasingly urgent. However, only the correct methods can achieve the desired results while ensuring good health. Below, we correct some common misconceptions.
Dietary misconceptions
Myth 1: It's okay to eat spicy food.
The benefits of eating spicy food are not as great as you might imagine. In fact, eating too much spicy food can negatively impact gastrointestinal function, increase irritation to the gastric mucosa, and easily lead to stomach bleeding. Moreover, eating too much spicy food can also make the skin rough and prone to acne, making it definitely not worth the risk.
Myth 2: Eating more low-fat foods will prevent you from gaining weight.
Associate Professor Moore of Boston University School of Medicine reported at the 44th Annual Meeting of the American Heart Association on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease that adolescents who consume very few processed foods and follow high-fat or low-fat diets are more likely to be obese than those who consume moderate amounts of fat. However, fat does not always play a negative role in this process.
Not only will the fat we consume not be quickly converted into stored fat in the body, but the breakdown of fat can also inhibit fat synthesis in the body to some extent. The American Heart Association recommends an optimal diet that includes moderate amounts of fat, plenty of fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.
Myth 3: It's okay to eat a fruit-only diet all the time.
While fruits are rich in vitamins and carbohydrates, and their benefits are numerous, their nutritional composition is relatively simple, especially lacking essential unsaturated fatty acids and proteins. A diet consisting solely of fruits over a long period will inevitably lead to the loss of protein, minerals, and other nutrients in the body, eventually triggering warning signs from the body.
A monotonous diet, like a limited selection of fruits, reduces the intake of many nutrients. Over time, this leads to a lack of comprehensive and balanced nutrition, which is harmful rather than beneficial.
