How to eat healthy Christmas food

The Christmas dinner has always been the protagonist of Christmas. However, as people’s life rhythm changes, the time of the three meals in the past has also changed. More and more people engaged in fashion career, because of the working hours, began to love For brunch, afternoon tea and late-night snacks.

According to Western traditions, Christmas dinner begins with afternoon tea. We can find a Western restaurant, have a good English afternoon tea, or find a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant and have a Chinese-Western afternoon tea. The key to the question is: If we really change the traditional three-meal time, our body can accept it?

Regular meals, no delay after the time

As a way of life, eating brunch or drinking afternoon tea has become the choice of more and more urbanites. The traditional breakfast is generally before 8 o'clock, but many people have not yet risen at this time, especially on the weekend, maybe 90 o'clock or even 11 o'clock. This time, the traditional breakfast has passed and the lunch time has not yet arrived. So early Lunch came into being.

The original brunch consists of breakfast and lunch, and the dining time is longer than usual, usually from 10am to 3pm. Of course, this type of brunch does not happen every day. Usually it is only eaten on Sunday, so foreigners often call it "sunday brunch" (Sunday Brunch).

Today’s brunch is more of a concept of a full-time breakfast, aimed at people who get up late and get up late. That is, when you get up and when you eat breakfast.

All of these people's schedules are postponed. They may have breakfast at 11am, lunch at 4pm, and dinner at 10pm.

Gu Zhongyi, a nutritionist, thinks that in eating habits, it is necessary to pay attention to the fasting time between two meals. During the day, they usually eat every five or six hours. At night, they sleep. The interval between dinner and breakfast is 12 Hours or so. If this habit is fixed for a long time, it is more regular. The fasting time is similar to that of a normal person. It is also eating after waking up. It also eats three meals, but the whole time is delayed for a period of time. In fact, there is no problem. What harm to health.

But some people may get up late, eat at 12 o'clock noon, eat at 6 o'clock in the evening, go to bed at 3 o'clock in the morning, and then wait to eat at 11 o'clock the next day, so the key is not eating in the second half of the time Too long will lead to hunger. This is definitely unreasonable.

Afternoon tea with sweets is not easy to "drunken tea"

In general, groups who eat brunch will also love afternoon tea.

The most traditional English afternoon tea was popular as early as the end of the 19th century. It belonged to the unique part of aristocratic life and was later slowly followed by the general public. For example, in the third phase of Guomao’s 80-story Yunku Café, there are 16 kinds of light root cakes. There were cute Santas and other decorations on the top and looked very pleasantly surprised. Today, the afternoon tea provided by the vast majority of domestic hotels originates from the British style. Those who first came into contact with English afternoon tea will be amazed at the small snacks that fill a table.

In fact, afternoon tea is more than drinking tea.

茶点

As early as the afternoon tea was born, tea was inseparable from baking, butter and other refreshments. Now more sophisticated afternoon tea, divided into three layers, including sandwiches, small noodles, small cakes and so on.

Why do you have tea when you drink tea?

One explanation is that English afternoon tea is a leisure time for those who are laborers. These people are all mental workers. Therefore, eating tea is beneficial to refreshing the brain. For example, snacks are mostly made of coarse grains, and there are more crude fiber and protein, and basically no cholesterol.

In this regard, Zhang Jian, a researcher at the China Center for Disease Control and Nutrition Research Institute, believes that coarse and small snacks can refresh the brain and have some truth. Both caffeine and sugar have a refreshing effect. Tea or coffee contains caffeine, which can make the brain excited for a short period of time. There is some sugar in the snack, which allows the brain to absorb it directly and provide some energy. Another explanation is that drinking tea on an empty stomach is prone to dizziness, nausea, and chest tightness. The tea industry calls it "drunken tea." So when you drink tea, you have to match some sweets. Zhang Jian explained that because tea contains caffeine, cocoa, theophylline, etc., fasting tea, empty stomach, caffeine, cocoa stimulate the stomach, through the blood circulation, the brain's central nervous system to form a stimulant effect, relatively easy to produce Dizziness. With some sweets, this phenomenon is not easy to occur because the sugar in the sweets dissolves theophylline and tea polyphenols in the tea and it is not easy to produce drunk tea.

In addition, hypoglycemia is also prone to dizziness and other phenomena, and crude fiber on the rapid development of blood glucose, the formation rate is high, there may be a certain degree of relief, and will not be too high on insulin, rich crude fiber snacks, Can play a role.

Afternoon tea is not only a sweet choice

In many people's eyes, the afternoon tea offers sweets, made up of a variety of cream cakes. It is also not healthy. Zhang Jian introduced that eating dessert, a small number of issues is not, the premise is that lunch is not very full, until 3 or 4 pm, there is hunger, or low blood sugar, really need, you can eat a little. If there is no sense of hunger, eating sweets, although less, will increase the intake of energy. We must pay attention to the overall balance of control. If it is not for the needs of the body but the satisfaction of the taste, we must also pay attention to the control of intake. Moreover, afternoon tea is not only a sweet choice. Whether it is imported British afternoon tea or home-grown Cantonese tea, the taste system is very rich. There are sweet, salty, light, and greasy ... basically bacon. In teatime, you can eat some fruits, oatmeal and other coarse grains, which is also a good choice.

Eat less food and more healthy

● Nutritionist Gu Zhongyi

Too rich a dinner is indeed the enemy of health. But not eating dinner is not good for health. It is generally believed that the ratio of eating three, four, and three meals a day is 3:4:3, which is more healthy. That is, there are more lunches, and breakfast and dinner are the same. However, it is difficult for the Chinese people to eat this habit. Many people have the opposite situation.

If it is such eating habits, adding one meal in the afternoon is definitely not a good thing. However, if you eat afternoon tea, dinner can be eaten less, in line with the practice of eating small meals, it is useful. Even if you can eat supper, the key is the quality and type of food. This is the most important thing. As long as the total amount of intake does not change, eat a few more times and there is no problem. It should be noted that the average person's dinner is a meal with relatively balanced nutrition and high quality. If he does not eat dinner because of eating tea, it may lead to nutritional imbalance in the long run.
