Five elements of healthy hotpot

　　I don’t know when hot pot was labeled as "harmful to health". In fact, compared with traditional ordering, eating hot pot is more flexible and convenient in the selection and collocation of ingredients. As long as you pay attention to the following points, you can give consideration to health and delicious food.

　　The bottom material is less salt and less oil. Eating hot pot, clear soup pot bottom with less salt and oil or mushroom soup pot bottom is the first choice. If they don’t taste good enough, you can also choose the bottom of the pot boiled with tomatoes or ketchup. If you like the bottom of the pot with spicy taste, it is recommended to skim off the Chili oil as much as possible before cooking the ingredients. If you still feel too greasy, you can prepare a small bowl of boiled water, dip the fished ingredients in water and eat them. People who love spicy food can also add appropriate peppers to their own small saucers.

　　The ingredients are balanced. Eating hot pot is easy to diversify the ingredients, and most of the ingredients can be eaten by rinsing, such as green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, bean products, fish and shrimp, red meat, potatoes and so on. In addition, we should also pay attention to the balanced collocation between various ingredients. To eat one serving of meat, we need at least two servings of vegetables to match it, and it is best to eat vegetables while eating meat. It should be reminded that visceral foods such as pig brain are very delicious, but the cholesterol is much higher than that of normal red meat (lean pork contains 81 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams, lean beef is 58 mg, and pig liver, cow brain and pig brain are 288 mg, 2447 mg and 2571 mg respectively), so the frequency and amount of eating must be as little as possible, especially for people with hyperlipidemia.

　　Dip in spices. Whether it is sesame sauce leek flower material or sesame oil garlic juice material, the fat content is very considerable. And most dip materials have high salt content, and there are various freshness-enhancing umami agents. After a hot pot, eat two small bowls of dip, and it is likely that the oil and salt are far beyond the standard. To rinse hot pot, you can use spice ingredients such as millet pepper, ginger, coriander, lime, garlic and other traditional dipping materials, which can not only reduce the intake of oil and salt, but also ensure that the dipping materials are tasty enough.

　　Drinks are low in sugar at room temperature. Eating hot pot is easy to eat and eat more, so don’t make sugary drinks "worse". Try to choose boiled water for drinks, or you can choose sugar-free or low-sugar lemonade, light tea, soybean milk and so on. In addition, many people think it will be more refreshing to drink a large glass of iced drink while eating hot pot. But such a cold and a hot will strongly stimulate the stomach, and even lead to stomach cramps or stomachaches. Therefore, eat hot pot and drink less iced drinks, and choose some warm herbal tea or vegetable protein drinks.

　　Rinse potatoes first. When you start to rinse the pot, after skimming the floating oil at the bottom of the pot, rinse potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes and other potatoes that can be used as vegetables and staple foods to protect the gastrointestinal tract; Eating vegetables early can increase satiety in advance, otherwise, not only the satiety is not strong, but also the intake of too much oil and purine. If it is a mandarin duck pot, try to rinse the vegetables on the side of the broth to avoid excessive oil intake. In addition, the delicious hot pot soup after rinsing is the favorite of many people. As everyone knows, a lot of purine has been dissolved in this soup, and drinking too much may cause gout. There are also seafood, sauerkraut pot bottom, nitrite content is not low, which is harmful to health. Therefore, it is best not to drink hot pot soup cooked for a long time. ▲
