    With the development of life, people pay more and more attention to health
    .
    Diet has a very important effect on health, and everyone naturally wants to eat healthier
    .
    And how can we eat healthier? In recent years, the "three reductions" (reduction of salt, oil, and sugar) have become a healthy diet principle widely appealed by the society
    .
    However, are you really ready for the "three reductions"?
     
    Recently, the "Survey Report on the Development of Food Health in China's Ten Major Cities" was released.
    This report covers 10 first-tier and new first-tier cities, including 28 large food companies and 46 nutrition experts with senior titles
    .
    Judging from the survey results, many people may not be prepared for the "three reductions"
    .
     
    1.
    The brain wants to be healthy, but the mouth is unwilling
     
    People who often read popular science and read my articles should know that eating too much oil, salt, and sugar is unhealthy
    .
    I think most people also know the importance of the "three reductions" (reduction of salt, oil, and sugar)
    .
    However, if you really want to do it, your mouth may not be happy
    .
    This survey found that consumers all know that the "three reductions" (reduction of salt, oil, and sugar) are good for health and should be implemented
    .
    But what is interesting is that most consumers are unwilling to give up the original taste of food.
    This survey found that nearly 90% of consumers do not want products to sacrifice taste for health upgrades
    .

     
    For example, in terms of salt reduction, Guangzhou people like to cook soup, and they also know that eating too much salt is bad for the cardiovascular system, but in order to make a delicious soup, they always add enough salt to make the soup delicious
    .
    In terms of sugar reduction, there are now a variety of artificial or natural sweeteners, which can be very close to sucrose in flavor and taste through proper matching and rational use
    .
    This was originally a good choice for sugar reduction, but I often met many people who told me that they always feel that the sweetener does not taste good, so they are reluctant to choose sugar-free sweetener products
    .
     
    2.
    I want to be healthy in my heart and honest in my body
     
    The survey found that about 60% of consumers believe that they have a good grasp of nutrition and health knowledge and know the "balanced diet pagoda" well.
    Among them, women and people with high education have better "self-feeling"
    .
    However, the survey also found that nearly two-thirds of consumers are distressed by frequent changes in nutritional recommendations and do not know which statement to believe
    .
    Therefore, in terms of healthy eating, many times we really just "feel good about ourselves"
    .
    In fact, only 8.
    7% of experts believe that consumers have fully grasped the knowledge of nutrition and health
    .
     
    Interestingly, it is the people who "feel good about themselves" who have the strongest desire to improve their diet
    .
    Among the 10 first-tier and new first-tier cities in this survey, Guangzhou people ranked first in terms of awareness of the "balanced diet pagoda" and self-evaluation of dietary health, and their willingness and actions to improve diet were also very positive, but Guangdong people still would Add enough salt to the various "soups" to make the soup delicious, and many Cantonese cuisines are still "pairs" of sugar and oil
    .

     
    Some simply give up treatment.
    For example, people in Chongqing and Chengdu are at the bottom in terms of awareness of the "balanced diet pagoda" and self-evaluation of dietary health, but the survey found that they have less willingness and actions to improve their diets and enjoy themselves.
    In the "food"
    .
     
    Therefore, although many people also want to lose the three in their hearts and want to be healthy, when they really eat, their bodies still honestly choose what they like to eat
    .
     
    3.
    Three minus outside, go home and eat open
     
    When it comes to oil, salt and sugar, everyone will first think of all kinds of snacks with high oil, high salt and high sugar in supermarkets, and fried dishes in restaurants.
    .
    .
    So it is natural to think that you should eat less snacks less in restaurants and more in restaurants.
    Eat at home
    .
    The survey found that most consumers believe that food companies and catering companies are the main responsibility for healthy eating
    .

      
    In fact, the actual situation may be completely opposite
    .
    The family kitchen is the core location of healthy eating, and each of us is the first person responsible for our own health
    .

     
    Give an example of my own
    .
     
    Because of the epidemic this year, everyone stayed at home most of the time and seldom went out to eat
    .
    The same is true for me
    .

     
    However, I am very sad to tell everyone that my weight has increased instead of falling
    .
    In this year’s physical examination, my weight was 8 kg longer than last year, and my body mass index has historically reached 24.
    04 (the critical mass of overweight)
    .

     
    why?
     
    Because of the epidemic, although I ate at home, many things have happened this year, from the outbreak to the Kobe helicopter accident.
    I deeply understand that accident and tomorrow, maybe we really don’t know which one will come first.
    , To take advantage of the limited time to enjoy life, enjoy life
    .
    So let me go
    .
     
    In the past six months, our family has been eating happily.
    We bought all kinds of meat and bake them at home.
    We even bought a lot of French fries and chicken nuggets to fry them at home.
    For Hubei alone, we bought more than 20 bags.
    Crayfish and shrimp balls.
    .
    .
     
    So, although I hardly went out for dinner this year, I actually gained the most weight
    .
    (Is there anyone like me? Tell me if there is the same in the comments below)
    .

     
    In general, whether you eat healthy and whether you can achieve the three reductions, you still have to start with yourself and at home
    .
     
    I won’t say much today, I’m going to start a weight loss plan!
