When I was young, I ate whatever I wanted without restrictions.
Now that I am older and need to take care of my health.
I think it's important to eat a balanced diet.
I'm planning to also include vegetables, protein, and nuts.
I'm trying to reduce snacks, fast food, and fried foods.
Everyone already knows that a balanced diet and moderation, avoiding binge eating and eating in small portions, are important for living a long life.
I also pay a little attention to the order in which I eat there.
I am trying to eat vegetables and salad first whenever possible.
If you eat vegetables first
First, it creates a feeling of fullness, so you can slightly reduce your carbohydrate intake afterward.
It takes about 15 minutes after a meal for hormones that signal fullness to be released, so eating vegetables first helps buy some time.
Vegetables are high in dietary fiber, so they provide a feeling of fullness.
Certainly, you can scoop out a few spoonfuls of rice to prevent overeating.
They say it can prevent blood sugar spikes secondarily.
Carbohydrates are absorbed quickly, causing a rapid increase in blood sugar.
I read an article about a study suggesting that the fiber in vegetables can slow carbohydrate absorption and prevent blood sugar spikes.
Eat vegetables first before consuming carbohydrates.
Since I need to chew calmly for the third time, I will reduce eating hurriedly and quickly.
I tend to gulp down rice or noodles really quickly, swallowing them without much chewing.ㅠㅠ
At least when I eat vegetables, I have to chew them a bit, so I end up eating more slowly.
When you're hungry on an empty stomach, you eat faster, but it's like someone is telling you to eat slowly.
In the morning, I start with cucumber, carrot, and tomato sticks.
In the morning, I didn't eat rice, so I started with vegetable sticks.
Boiled eggs. Baked potatoes. Soft tofu. Bread. Hot dogs, etc., are eaten alternately.
For lunch, I ate a mixture of roasted tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers tossed in olive oil.
For dinner, I first eat a plate of salad like this.
Eat the salad slowly.
Then, I scoop a little rice and eat.
Eat vegetables, then protein, then carbohydrates in that order.
Blood sugar management. Weight management. Blood pressure management.
I think it is a longevity formula that helps with all three.
