These three types of food are unpalatable but can prolong life

Introduction: In life, we tend to love those sweet, delicate, and fragrant foods, and we don’t like bitter, rough, and light-tasting foods. And it is precisely in these poor-tasting foods that there are unexpected nutrients and health elements.

Rough food

Some people prefer fine fragrant rice and white flour products, but don’t like brown rice and wotou, because they eat their throats. In fact, it is the precious dietary fiber that "pierces the throat". It can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, help defecation, and change the type and number of intestinal microbes, and reduce the production of carcinogens. Dietary fiber is widely found in rough-tasting foods, including whole grains of rice, wheat and mixed beans, such as brown rice, oats, and red beans. In order to prevent constipation and bowel cancer, 20-30 grams of dietary fiber should be ingested daily. It is recommended to abandon the traditional white rice porridge for breakfast, drink multi-grain porridge, and replace fine white rice with whole-wheat steamed buns.

sour food

Compared with sweet oranges, watermelons, and bananas, there are relatively few people who like to eat sour fruits such as sand fruit and hawthorn. In fact, the sour taste of these fruits mainly comes from organic acids such as citric acid and malic acid. These natural acidic substances can promote the absorption of minerals such as iron. If you feel that sour foods do not taste good, you can make them into fruit soup, add a small amount of rock sugar, and freeze them in the refrigerator. The taste will be greatly improved.

Bitter food

Natural bitter substances in food also have certain health effects, such as naringin in lemon and grapefruit, tea polyphenols in tea, polyphenols in red wine and chocolate The polyphenols in it are all ingredients that help prevent cancer and heart disease. Quinine in bitter gourd can also improve human immunity and help control blood sugar. Therefore, fruits must be eaten together, not just sweet, but bitter and sour. Don't throw away the grapefruit peel you have eaten. You can cut it into strips and make honey grapefruit tea. For bitter gourd, blanch it with hot water, and eat it with honey after iced.
