Zhang Junning's secret to good figure is not eating raw or cold food and making her own fruit and vegetable juice, the nutritionist said...

Zhang Junning has been in the industry for many years and has won the hearts of the people with her delicate acting skills. In addition to being hailed as a rare "fresh goddess" in the entertainment industry for her unique temperament, her consistently good figure is even more enviable! One can't help but wonder how she manages to maintain it? In fact, Zhang Junning has mentioned in many interviews that the secret to her staying in shape is not only to exercise a lot, but the key is to develop a habit of not eating raw or cold food and to drink a glass of homemade fruit and vegetable juice every morning. However, does this method really help to lose weight? Let’s hear what professional nutritionists say!

Lose weight just by eating salad and boiled food? Be careful about eating the wrong food that may affect your endocrine and hormone balance

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that eating less raw, cold food in your daily diet is indeed a good way to help you lose weight successfully! I once admitted an overweight 28-year-old office lady to the weight loss clinic. She complained that she had only eaten salad and fruits for three meals a day in the past six months in order to lose weight. But she just couldn't lose weight. In the past three months, she even had a tendency to gain weight. Her menstruation had not come for three to four months, which troubled her so much that she had to come to the outpatient clinic for consultation.

Why did the OL try so hard to diet but still failed to lose weight? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying explained that the reason why she could not lose weight but gained weight and even had menstrual disorders was mainly due to her excessive dieting and lack of oil, which caused malnutrition; and excessive consumption of raw and cold lettuce salad, which led to poor blood circulation and metabolic function in the body, thereby affecting endocrine and hormonal balance. In addition, people mistakenly believe that fruits taste refreshing and should be low in calories, so they do not avoid eating them. This will naturally cause a burden on the body and make people fat instead of thin.

Are you still eating lettuce salad to lose weight? Nutritionist: Eating right hot pot is more effective

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying emphasized that, in fact, for modern people who generally lack activity and exercise, their metabolic rate is inherently low. If female friends do not pay more attention to their daily lives and eat too much raw and cold food, it will naturally make things worse, causing the body's metabolic rate to decrease day by day, making it difficult to not gain weight! Therefore, Zhang Junning mentioned that the dietary concept of eating less cold and cool foods is indeed very important.

Taking the above case as an example, fortunately, the patient is encouraged to eat more warm foods, such as garlic, onion, scallion, ginger, raw pepper and other spices. At the same time, she was advised to eat small hot pot with meat and vegetable plates instead of eating monotonous lettuce salad during her weight loss period; and avoid consuming processed hot pot ingredients, choose original soup base, and avoid highly processed seasonings such as shacha sauce and peanut butter when choosing dipping sauces, and instead choose spices to add flavor.

At the same time, the OL was given the correct nutritional concepts for weight loss, which helped to change her habit of eating raw and cold foods and restart her body's metabolic capacity. After 3 months of dietary adjustment, her menstruation became smoother, and after another 3 months, her weight dropped drastically by 5 kilograms.

A glass of homemade fruit and vegetable juice in the morning can help you lose weight? The key is to supplement dietary fiber and stay away from constipation and bulging belly.

As for Zhang Junning's habit of drinking a cup of homemade fruit and vegetable juice every morning to supplement dietary fiber, does it also help her lose weight? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that from a nutritionist's perspective, dietary fiber supplementation is indeed very important for people who eat out. According to statistics from the Taiwan Cancer Foundation, more than 90% of the Chinese population do not consume enough dietary fiber. The average male consumes only 13.7 grams of dietary fiber per day, and the average female consumes 14 grams, which is nearly half less than the 25 to 35 grams recommended by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

In fact, insufficient dietary fiber intake will not only affect people’s bowel movements and cause constipation, but may also turn people into "big belly men" or "big belly women". Nutritionist Zhao Hanying mentioned that in order to fully obtain dietary fiber, it is generally recommended that people should keep in mind the "Fruits and Vegetables 579" dietary principle, which means that children should consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, women 7 servings of fruits and vegetables, and men 9 servings of fruits and vegetables (each serving is about the size of a fist) a day. A balanced intake of fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement phytochemicals is a good way to increase the body's antioxidant capacity and assist in weight loss.

Drinking vegetable and fruit juice correctly is effective~Nutritionists recommend "High-fiber Black Fungus Pineapple Juice" for its many benefits

However, nutritionist Zhao Hanying also reminded that when making fruit and vegetable juice, it is still recommended not to directly blend raw and cold fruits and vegetables. A good way to drink it is to simply blanch the vegetables, add appropriate amounts of spices such as cinnamon, ginger, turmeric powder, etc. We also recommend a "High Fiber Black Fungus Pineapple Juice" that uses black fungus, which is rich in pectin and polysaccharides, as a main ingredient, for the public to use as a daily supplement reference:

★High-fiber black fungus pineapple juice

Ingredients: 3 large pieces of fresh black fungus, 1/4 fresh pineapple or 1/2 can of canned pineapple, 3 to 5 slices of old ginger, and appropriate amount of water.

practice:

1. Peel the pineapple and cut into pieces. Wash, peel and slice the ginger for later use.

2. Prepare a soup pot, fill it 70% full with water, and add black fungus after the water boils.

3. Blanch the ingredients until they are slightly softened, then remove them from the heat, drain and set aside.

4. Pour the cooked black fungus into a juicer and add pineapple pieces and ginger slices.

5. Pour in an appropriate amount of boiled water (the ratio is 4:1 boiled water: fungus) and blend it into juice. Pour it into a cup and drink.

Nutritional Benefits:

▶Black fungus is rich in polysaccharide fiber, which can help stimulate intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation problems.

▶Ginger can moisturize the body, promote blood circulation, and make people look good.

▶Pineapple is rich in unique bromelain and dietary fiber, which is beneficial for digestion and maintains intestinal health.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

Finally, nutritionist Zhao Hanying also reminded that in addition to working hard on diet, as Zhang Junning said, if you want to maintain a good figure, moderate exercise is also important. It is recommended that friends who want to lose weight should do some aerobic and stretching exercises, such as jogging, squats, etc., which are good choices to effectively promote metabolism.
