婻 Fang has seen that there are dozens of foods we eat every day, each of which contains different nutrients. If we mix several foods with different nutrients in our diet, we can not only absorb nutrients well, but also reduce their side effects, so that the human body can get double health.
Pork and garlic: increase vitamin absorption
"If you eat meat without garlic, the nutrition will be reduced by half." The content of vitamin B1 in pork is 9 times higher than that in other meat products on average, but this vitamin is unstable and stays in the human body for a short time. If you eat garlic together, the allicin in garlic will combine with vitamin B1 to change its water solubility into fat solubility, which will greatly increase the absorption and utilization of the human body.
Lamb onion: reduce cholesterol
Onion is the only vegetable known to contain prostaglandin A. Prostaglandin A can dilate blood vessels, thus helping to lower blood pressure. Stir fried mutton with scallions is popular. If you can add some onions, it will reach a nutritional upgrading combination. Because the content of mutton protein and saturated fat is high, in dry autumn and winter, mutton eating more has the risk of raising cholesterol. When cooking mutton, add some onions to prevent the human body from excessive absorption of cholesterol and fat in mutton.
Egg pasta: improve protein utilization
Eggs are comprehensive and rich in nutrition. If eggs and pasta (carbohydrates) are eaten together, the utilization rate of protein can be improved. Some people only eat an egg and drink a glass of milk for breakfast, so the protein in the egg will be lost. If it can be eaten with bread or steamed bread, the protein can be absorbed by the human body to the maximum extent. Generally, eggs are best eaten steamed or boiled. If eggs are boiled with water, it is best to cook them tender, that is, five or six minutes after the pot is opened. At this time, the yolk has just solidified. When eggs in this state are eaten, the human body has the highest absorption rate of protein. But it is better not to eat fried eggs, because the egg will denature the protein if it is fried yellow or burnt.
Fish Tofu: strengthen calcium absorption
Fish and tofu are high protein foods, but their protein and amino acid composition are not reasonable enough. For example, bean curd protein lacks methionine and lysine, while fish protein lacks phenylalanine, which is called incomplete protein by nutritionists. If you eat two kinds of food together, you can learn from each other and make the composition of protein more reasonable. For example, fish head braised tofu not only tastes delicious, but also vitamin D in fish head can improve the absorption and utilization rate of calcium in tofu. It should be noted that when making fish braised tofu or fish stewed tofu, it is better to use old tofu, and add some vegetables and mushrooms. Both flavor and nutrition are very good.
Black and white agaric: nourishing yin and moistening lung
White fungus is usually eaten more after being made into sweet soup; Black fungus can be used to make dishes or ingredients. From the perspective of dietotherapy and health care, both auricularia auricula and auricularia auricula can prevent the formation of lipofuscin, which belongs to the food of longevity and anti-aging. At the same time, both kinds of auricularia contain polysaccharides, which can enhance immunity and resist viruses. However, due to the difference in nutrient content between the two, the effect on human body after consumption is still different. Auricularia is rich in vitamin D, which can prevent the loss of calcium, and is very beneficial to growth and development. The phospholipid contained in the Auricularia also has the effect of strengthening the brain and calming the nerves. According to traditional Chinese medicine, agaric has the functions of moistening the lung and promoting fluid production, nourishing qi and blood, nourishing the kidney and essence, and is suitable for people with weak respiratory system. The iron content of auricularia auricula is the largest among all kinds of vegetarian foods. Eating it regularly can nourish the blood and stop looking, and can prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia. In addition, the colloid has a strong adsorption capacity, which can reduce the damage of dust to the lungs. There is also a kind of nucleic acid material in Auricularia auricula, which can reduce the cholesterol level in the blood Patients with coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis are quite beneficial. If the black and white fungus can be eaten together, the nutrients contained in the two will be mutually supplemented, with the effect of nourishing yin, moistening the lung, tonifying the kidney and strengthening the brain.
Maize and pea: protein complementation
The carotene contained in corn can be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the human body, which has cancer prevention effect. Peas have the effect of harmonizing the spleen and stomach, promoting the intestines and diuresis, and are also rich in carotene and vitamin C, which can make the skin soft and smooth; The crude fiber can also prevent rectal cancer. Corn and peas can be used together to improve the value of protein in human body. Because the amino acids of the two proteins are different, they can be mixed and complementary, thus improving the nutritional value of food. 婻 Editor of Fang Fang Nutrition and Health Care Column
