It’s a misunderstanding that eating ice can help you lose weight! 5 principles for healthy ice drinking

The hot summer is coming to an end, but the rumor on the Internet that eating ice can help lose weight is still a hot topic. Professional nutritionists say that in fact, it is just the opposite. Eating ice drinks in summer can help people cool down and relieve heat, but if the way of eating ice drinks is wrong, it will reduce metabolism, lead to fat accumulation and cause obesity. Patients with poor gastrointestinal function should avoid eating too much cold food to prevent diarrhea and abdominal pain.

One stick of commercially available ice cream contains about 100 calories, and you need to jog for 30 minutes to completely burn off the calories.

Nutritionist Hong Ruopu from the Zhongxiao branch of Taipei Municipal United Hospital pointed out that the cause of obesity in the general population is often insufficient exercise and improper diet. Therefore, the key to weight loss is to "eat smartly and move happily." However, in the minds of many people, "weight loss" is always equated with "not eating enough." In fact, as long as you grasp the principles of a healthy and balanced diet, you don't have to go hungry. You can enjoy delicious food and lose weight healthily.

Tips for reducing fat

1. Reduce the intake of pork, beef, and mutton, and increase the intake of fish, beans, and poultry.

2. Eat more vegetables and fresh fruits in season.

3. Choose the appropriate cooking method, steam more, fry moderately, and fry less. Make good use of equipment such as electric cookers, non-stick pans, and ovens.

4. Replace high-fat foods with similar low-fat foods. For example: Replace short ribs with beef leg.

5. Do not eat visible fats, do not add extra oils, cakes, peanuts, melon seeds, etc., and eat snacks in moderation.

6. Eat a moderate and balanced diet, eat less semi-finished minced meat, and reduce the amount of breading.

Be careful when choosing sugary ice drinks

One stick of commercially available ice cream contains about 100 calories. If you add chocolate and peanuts, the calories will increase to 250 calories. After eating one stick of ice cream, you have to jog for 30 minutes to completely burn off the calories. Compared to high-calorie ice products such as ice cream or popsicles, shaved ice may be a good choice, but how to choose the ingredients is very important.

It is recommended to choose some fruits or low-calorie ingredients such as aiyu, grass jelly, taro balls, etc. As for condensed milk, 1 tablespoon of calories is equivalent to 50 calories, so it is better to eat less. If you make your own smoothie at home, you can use seasonal watermelon, cantaloupe, papaya, and apple, and use milk instead of condensed milk. It will not only taste good but also have a lot fewer calories. But among all the drinks that can truly quench your thirst and are completely calorie-free, plain water is the healthiest.

5 principles for eating ice cream in a healthy way

1. Do not eat ice on an empty stomach: Never take ice as a main meal. Eating ice directly on an empty stomach will not only fail to help you lose weight, but may also cause many illnesses.

2. Eat the ingredients before eating the ice: If you want to eat shaved ice, it is best to eat the ingredients first and wait for the ice to melt slightly before eating, which can also reduce the damage.

3. Eat ice in the afternoon: Do not eat ice after getting up at 8:00-9:00. After being fasting all night, if you drink ice drinks right after getting up, it will damage the stomach function and reduce metabolism. It is recommended not to eat ice during lunch at 11:00-12:00, and avoid eating ice 1 hour before and after meals to avoid affecting stomach motility and causing indigestion. The best time to eat ice cream is from 13:00 to 15:00 in the afternoon.

4. Do not eat ice during menstruation: Eating ice will cause the uterus to contract, making it difficult to expel menstrual blood, causing menstrual pain, and then leading to irregular menstruation.

5. Do not eat ice when exercising: When the body is sweating profusely or the body temperature is high and the blood circulation is fast after exercise, eating ice will cause the blood vessels to suddenly contract, leading to headaches, and may also cause symptoms such as sore throat, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
