Doing one thing before meals is said to be the healthiest and most effective way to lose weight in the world

When it comes to longevity, people update the "ranking list" of longevity foods almost every year. If we were to rate the most common and cheapest anti-aging foods, I believe vegetables, fruits, grains, black tea, etc. would definitely be on the list. But from another perspective, “how to eat” is sometimes more important than “what to eat”~

1. Use cold boiled water to make black tea

A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that black tea contains more antioxidants than green vegetables or carrots. Brewing tea with cold boiled water can allow the beneficial substances in it to dissolve slowly without being destroyed.

2. Eat raw onions

Dr. Hector Gelwich, professor of cardiology at Harvard Medical School, pointed out that onions contain a large amount of flavonoids that protect the heart. Eating half an onion raw every day can increase the "good cholesterol" of heart patients by about 30%. Especially when eating not-so-healthy food like barbecue, the onions in it are like your "life-saving grass".

3. Drink two glasses of water before meals

Drinking two small glasses of water before meals can reduce hunger and food intake, which is more effective than dieting. Brenda from Virginia Tech. David said: "Drinking water is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to control weight." People who drink water before meals can consume nearly 300 calories less a day.

4. Eat high-fiber food before bed

Judith Waterman, Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said: "Eating a low-calorie carbohydrate snack, such as cereal, half an hour before going to bed can help you sleep." Most people only consume half of the fiber they need (25-35 grams) every day, so it is recommended to take advantage of the last moment before going to bed to supplement.

5. Eat vegetarian dishes with meat

Eating too much oil is not good, but not eating any oil is even worse. Sun Mengli said that pumpkin and carrot contain a lot of beta-carotene, so they cannot be eaten too lightly. Stir-frying them with oil is more conducive to nutrient absorption. If pumpkin is used to cook porridge, make sure there is oil in the other dishes so that they can merge into the stomach and intestines.

6. Eating dinner earlier is better than eating it later

The peak period of calcium excretion in the human body is 4-5 hours after a meal. Eating dinner too late will not only affect sleep and accumulate calories, but also easily cause urinary stones. The best time for the elderly to have dinner is around 6 or 7 in the afternoon, and they should not eat or eat less midnight snacks.
