Healthy Eating Guidance – Is your diet healthy?
Are your diet healthy?
–Talk about “food intolerance”
Before the article officially begins, please take two minutes to see Looking at the table below, have the symptoms in you happened to you?
If there is, and the effect is not obvious after taking the medicine, then you need to remind yourself that these symptoms are very It may not be caused by simple “cold”, “sleeping less”, or “frozen”. Perhaps the wrong thing has reacted, which leads to the protagonist of today’s article – food intolerance.
Food intolerance is a complex allergic disease caused by food. In theory, after entering the digestive tract, food should be digested to the level of amino acids and monosaccharides so that it can be completely absorbed by the body. Due to individual differences, when the ingested food protein can not be completely digested and absorbed, the macromolecular food protein directly enters the body through the intestinal mucosa, stimulating its own immune system to produce food-specific IgG antibodies, and the antibody forms an immune complex with food macromolecules. In the body, the occurrence of various clinical symptoms is induced. Leonard, the protagonist of the American drama “Big Bang”, suffers from lactose intolerance, which is one of the common types of food intolerance.
The incidence of food intolerance is high, according to statistics, about half of the people Intolerance to one or several foods. In 2008, the Chinese Medical Association Health Management Institute conducted a study entitled “Epidinology Survey of Food Intolerance in Chinese Population”. The results showed that 28.69% of the 28,769 respondents were intolerant, 24.56%. Crab intolerance, 13.88% milk intolerance, 12.04% shrimp intolerance, 11.11% salmon intolerance, 7.18% soybean intolerance, 4.14% corn intolerance. Eggs, milk, soybeans, shrimps, and corn are all common foods for Chinese people, but these “foods” are “chronic poisons” for many people, and are potentially harmful to public health.
So how do we know what kind of food is intolerant? Can’t you tolerate food in the future? What is the difference between food intolerance and food allergy?
First of all, more and more hospitals in China have begun to introduce food intolerance testing programs, usually within a week, patients can get test results. . According to the degree of grading on the results, we can see at a glance which kind of food is intolerant. At the same time, we believe that in the near future, China’s food intolerance test should be implemented in the medical examinations in community hospitals as it has been practiced many years ago in the UK, so that everyone can test and monitor anytime, anywhere.
Second, the intolerant food is not to be eaten in the future. After 3-6 months of general dietary adjustment, the level of specific IgG can be reduced to normal levels. After 3-6 months of ingestion, the food intolerance review is repeated. If the original positive food turns negative, you can slowly try to re-feed these foods, but the re-inclusion time of different foods needs at least one week.
Finally, the difference between food allergy and food intolerance is worse than letting us use the form of table comparison to show more intuitively. Please see the following picture:
Seeing that the article is coming to an end, but a careful friend may ask: Will it lead to the ingestion process? Malnutrition? At the same time, how can we avoid eating inadvertently? Here, we remind readers that we should develop the habit of viewing or asking for recipes before eating. For example, friends who are intolerant to milk should not avoid drinking milk, but should also avoid eating milk-containing foods such as ice cream.
As for the problem of malnutrition, we don’t need to worry about it. The nutrients of food are many. If you eat certain foods, you can get nutrition by eating other foods. In order to facilitate everyone’s daily life, we have specially summarized a “food ingredient list” for alternative foods, and I hope to help you:
People eat food for the day, but when we taste the food, we must pay more attention to health, remember that the food in other populations may become your poison!
