Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

After hearing Jiang Xifeng talk about her physical discomfort, Li Weijun suddenly realized something. He thought to himself, "It looks like she is suffering from lactose intolerance!" You know, this disease is a very common problem in agricultural society and can be called a common disease.

In the vast Central Plains, agricultural society has always occupied a dominant position.

People's daily diet structure is mostly based on carbohydrates such as rice and flour.

Day after day, year after year, after a long period of sedimentation and natural selection of genes, people's stomachs have gradually adapted and become accustomed to the digestion and absorption of these coarse grains.

Over time, the stomach and intestines' tolerance to other food ingredients becomes relatively reduced, so substances like lactose, once entering the human digestive system, often easily cause various discomfort reactions.

However, when it comes to beef, mutton and various dairy products, our stomachs as agricultural people are less able to digest these foods than those of nomadic people. The most obvious example is lactose intolerance, which often causes people to experience diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms after eating foods containing lactose.

In addition, diabetes, a disease closely related to diet, can also increase the risk of disease due to excessive intake of such high-protein, high-fat and sugar-rich foods.

In contrast, nomadic people who have long relied on beef, mutton and dairy products as their staple food have, through generations of reproduction and evolution, adapted their stomachs to the efficient digestion and absorption of these foods. They are able to better obtain the nutrients they need and minimize possible adverse effects.

It is really unpleasant to say this, but the reason why diabetes has become so prevalent in later generations, and is even jokingly called a "rich man's disease", is actually entirely due to the fact that the older generation lived too hard a life.

Back then, they experienced one thrilling famine after another. In that difficult and harsh environment, the human body gradually evolved a special mechanism in order to survive: the higher the sugar content in the blood, the more likely it is to survive those days of hunger and cold, and thus survive, and pass on this gene from generation to generation to this day.

Later, as life got better day by day, everyone gradually became wealthy.

However, something unexpected happened - because of the long-term food shortage, the big guys have never eaten so much as they do now. This sudden change has left our bodies unprepared at the genetic level, because the long-term living environment has made our genes have not formed an effective response strategy for excessive carbohydrate intake.

Therefore, when people start eating a lot of carbohydrate-rich foods, insulin will be secreted quickly in the body.

However, these insulins are simply unable to effectively handle the huge load brought by such excessive eating. Gradually, the body's metabolic balance is disrupted, blood sugar levels continue to rise, and eventually lead to frequent attacks of diabetes. This seems to be a silent health crisis that quietly erodes people's lives.

What’s worse is that the general public has basically no clear and accurate knowledge and concept about how to prevent diabetes. Many people naively believe that as long as they don’t eat sugar, they can effectively prevent the disease, but the truth is far from that simple.

In fact, even if you just drink a bowl of seemingly ordinary and harmless white porridge, the blood sugar surge it causes can be terrifying!

After this bowl of porridge enters the human body, the carbohydrates contained in it will be quickly digested and absorbed, and then converted into a large amount of glucose that flows into the blood, causing a sharp rise in blood sugar levels. Such rapid blood sugar fluctuations are undoubtedly a huge health crisis for those who are already at high risk or have prediabetes.

A considerable number of families usually choose a bowl of steaming white porridge as their staple food for daily breakfast.

This bowl of porridge may be thick and dense, but the nutrients it contains are relatively simple, mainly carbohydrates. It is often paired with a golden and crispy fried dough stick. Although the fried dough stick is crispy and delicious, it also contains a lot of fat and high calories.

In addition, tea eggs are also a common choice, but the protein content in eggs is still slightly insufficient compared to what the human body needs.

Finally, add some pickles to enhance the flavor. Although these pickles can serve as an appetizer, they are high in salt and are not completely beneficial to your health if consumed for a long time.

Overall, this breakfast combination has too high a carbohydrate content and a serious lack of high-quality protein. In the long run, this unbalanced diet structure can easily lead to metabolic disorders and increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Because if too many carbohydrates enter the body and cannot be consumed and utilized in time, they will be converted into fat and stored, causing a series of problems such as weight gain and blood sugar fluctuations.

At the same time, lack of adequate protein may also affect muscle growth, decreased immunity and the normal functioning of other physiological functions.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Weijun believes that if one wants to achieve the goal of health care from the perspective of daily diet, then the most appropriate choice is undoubtedly to eat coarse grains.

After all, the large amount of refined rice and flour foods that people consume today are not particularly suitable for the human gastrointestinal system.

Although these overly processed rice and flour products may taste relatively good, they lack many important nutrients and dietary fiber.

Coarse grains are different. They often retain more natural nutrients and rough fiber, which can better promote intestinal motility, enhance digestive function, and help maintain the body's internal balance and health.

Li Weijun carefully handed the cup of lukewarm milk to Jiang Xifeng, with a gentle and comforting smile on his face, and said softly.

"Don't worry too much. Lactose intolerance is actually not a big deal. To put it bluntly, it's just that you don't drink enough milk! So, from now on, we can drink more milk. As long as we persist for a period of time and let our stomach and intestines slowly adapt to this situation, those uncomfortable symptoms will naturally no longer appear in the future. Milk is rich in high-protein good things. Drinking it regularly can have many benefits for the body. It can not only strengthen the physical fitness, but also make the skin smoother and more delicate. Believe me, as long as you do what I say, you will see results soon."

Jiang Xifeng looked at Li Weijun with helplessness on her face as he insisted. Finally, she sighed softly and gave up resisting.

She slightly frowned her willow-like brows, elegantly picked up the steaming cup of milk on the table, carefully brought it to her lips, and took a small sip.

Then, she put down the cup, stroked her chin with her hand, and said thoughtfully: "This milk, although the taste is mellow, but if it is not paired with the fragrant coffee, it always feels that something is missing when you drink it. It's like a beautiful painting lacks a key touch of color, which makes people feel a little regretful." After saying that, she cast her gaze on the cup of steaming milk, with an imperceptible expectation in her eyes.

"Coffee?" Li Weijun shook his head gently after hearing the word, then slowly stretched out his hands, spread out his palms, and explained slowly: "In my opinion, from a nutritional point of view, the most ideal breakfast combination should be milk, eggs and whole grains.

After all, these foods are rich in various nutrients needed by the human body, which can provide sufficient energy and keep us in a good mental state throughout the day. However, drinks like coffee contain caffeine, which is a substance that can easily stimulate the nervous system. If consumed in excess, it will not be good for the body! So, it is better for us to drink less coffee as much as possible. "

"Eggs?" Jiang Xifeng frowned suspiciously, her eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and worry, and asked softly: "The cholesterol content in eggs is extremely high! If we accidentally eat too much, won't it have any adverse effects on our body? I have heard of many examples of health problems caused by excessive consumption of eggs." As she spoke, she shook her head unconsciously, as if she had already seen the terrible consequences.

When Li Weijun heard this rumor, he couldn't help but feel helpless and amused. He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Oh my, this is ridiculous! Eggs are the most easily available and effective food for replenishing protein! Look at the egg yolk inside, it's simply a treasure trove of nutrition! It's rich in various vitamins, minerals, high-quality fats, etc., and it has too many benefits to the body to count."

He paused, then refuted righteously: "As for the so-called high cholesterol content in eggs that will have adverse effects on health, it is pure nonsense! In fact, the cholesterol in eggs will not directly lead to an increase in the body's own cholesterol level. As long as it is consumed in moderation, you can enjoy this delicious and nutritious food with confidence.

Therefore, those guys who spread the word that eggs are harmful to the human body are either extremely stupid or have ulterior motives! We can't be fooled by them! In fact, if conditions permit, we should eat eggs as much as possible. Because these small eggs contain many benefits! First of all, eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which can help our body build and repair tissues better; secondly, it also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, D, E, iron, zinc, etc. These nutrients play a vital role in maintaining our health; in addition, the lecithin in eggs can also help improve brain function and memory! In short, eating eggs is definitely a good thing with no harm. Don't listen to those rumors and miss such a good food!

Jiang Xifeng believed every word Li Weijun said. She nodded slightly to show her agreement.

A hint of anticipation and satisfaction appeared on her pretty face, and she whispered, "Compared to bland boiled eggs, I personally prefer the delicate and delicious egg custard and the fragrant, crispy and tender fried eggs. When we two get married and build our love nest together, I hope you will not forget to cook me a delicious egg custard when you prepare your loving breakfast every morning." After saying that, she couldn't help but chuckle, with happiness flashing in her eyes.

Li Weijun had never expected that at this moment Jiang Xifeng had actually begun to think about what their breakfast life would be like after marriage. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless and funny, but looking at Jiang Xifeng's eyes full of expectation and longing, he really couldn't bear to refuse her. So, he smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, baby! Regarding breakfast, everything is up to you. As long as you can eat happily, anything is fine. But I have to tell you first, I will be responsible for cooking, so the task of washing the dishes after dinner will be left to you." After saying that, he gently scratched Jiang Xifeng's nose, his eyes full of doting.

Jiang Xifeng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she unexpectedly did not reject the proposal. In fact, what she originally wanted was to hire a few nannies to take care of the family's food, daily life, and chores. However, she changed her mind and felt that this seemed too boring. After all, she had always lived a pampered life with food delivered to her mouth and clothes handed to her. Now she suddenly wanted to try to work with her own hands and be self-reliant. So, she nodded without hesitation, and generously took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes, which seemed simple but not easy. It's hard to put into words

Li Weijun scratched Jiang Xifeng's nose and said lovingly, "You are still in a foreign country, but you are already thinking about the future. I don't know what kind of worry you have."

Jiang Xifeng curled her lips and said, "What do you know? This is called planning before acting. It also means that if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. If you don't think things through carefully, what will you do if something unexpected happens along the way? If you want to live a good life, you have to think it through in your mind and come up with a plan for everything."

When Li Weijun heard this, he felt it sounded familiar, as if he had heard what the third uncle said: "You can eat well and wear well, but you will be poor if you don't plan well."
