The National Health Commission held a press conference on the 10th, and Yang Aiming, chief physician of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, gave three suggestions on how to maintain weight during the Spring Festival. Yang Aiming said that healthy weight management is very important, which means "keeping your mouth shut and taking steps forward". During holidays, it is easy to gain weight for three main reasons: firstly, due to changes in dietary structure. During the Spring Festival, there is a tendency to have sweets, snacks, and high calorie foods. The second is an increase in total intake, as there are many delicious foods that sometimes make it difficult to stop eating with chopsticks. Thirdly, the amount of activity has decreased. So during the Spring Festival, if you want to maintain your weight, there are three suggestions: first, have choices and limits. We can eat more vegetables. When eating, it is recommended to eat vegetables first, then meat, and finally the main course. In terms of meat, we choose more high-quality protein such as shrimp and fish, and try to eat less fatty meat and fried foods. Snacks can be "tasted", but we need to "set a limit", such as eating a small handful of nuts. If you eat too many snacks, it is recommended to eat less as the main course of the meal to avoid total calorie accumulation. Secondly, correct common dietary misconceptions. People often say 'don't eat staple food' and 'replace staple food with fruits', but we do not recommend these aspects. Long term non consumption of staple food can lead to metabolic disorders, malnutrition, and other problems. Consuming high calorie fruits in large quantities at once may result in excessive sugar and energy. To control weight, you can choose some coarse grains. These staple foods have a relatively slow rate of blood sugar rise, provide a sense of fullness, and help avoid postprandial blood sugar fluctuations, as well as the feeling of "eating more and wanting more". Thirdly, people with poor gastrointestinal health should exercise moderation and try to eat less stimulating foods that are too cold, too hot, too spicy, or too salty, avoiding overeating and sudden increase in the burden on the digestive tract; To maintain a relatively regular meal schedule, one should not go hungry one meal at a time, in order to avoid exacerbating underlying diseases such as gastritis and ulcers. Yang Aiming reminds that healthy weight management is a long-term process, with the core being balance and moderation. Eating a variety of food, eating in moderation, and eating in a regular manner, through a healthy diet, actively engaging in exercise, monitoring weight changes in a timely manner, and developing good lifestyles and habits, are the more reliable ways to manage weight.
