After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 109: Adjust your daily diet and anti-inflammatory diet is essential

"Xi Rui, the things written here are all inedible?"

"It's not that you can't eat it at all, but you have to eat it in small amounts. For example, if you used to eat snacks every day, now if you want to eat them, just eat one piece every five or six days to satisfy your craving."

"understood."

"Aunt, let me get the light so that Si Miao can watch it too. These are the things that Si Miao needs to eat, and she needs the most attention."

"it is good."

The two of them took the lamp and moved to Ren Simiao's bed.

"Oils? Should we pay attention to the oils used in cooking?"

"Yes. Be careful when you cook next time." Ding Xirui answered. She suddenly thought of an important question and then asked:

"Aunt, are you having dinner with father and mother now?"

"We don't eat together, but our meals are cooked together in the backyard kitchen. I was just thinking that it would be too troublesome to let the kitchen cook." Mrs. Ren smiled embarrassedly.

"That's okay. We only cook and heat dishes in the small kitchen in our yard occasionally. We usually cook together in the kitchen. In the past, my eldest brother and his wife did the same, but now my eldest brother is treating his stomach, so they cook in their own yard. Simiao's food list is also good for the rest of us. I'll ask mother for permission to make the changes in the kitchen."

"Xirui, that's really a trouble for you." Mrs. Ren held Ding Xirui's hand.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Ren Simiao bowed his head to express his gratitude.

"Aunt, Si Miao, you don't have to be so polite. I just wanted to do that."

The mother and daughter nodded. Si Miao looked at Ding Xirui and asked:

"Second sister-in-law, for someone like me...how should I eat? Could you please teach me?"

"No problem, just follow these lists. As for the oil we used, the kitchen now mostly uses sesame oil, rapeseed oil and sesame oil, and very little lard and other oils, which is good. But sesame oil and sesame oil are not suitable for stir-frying, but they are used for steaming, stewing, braising and cold dishes."

"Well, my father once said that you should avoid greasy food when taking medicine. Is it because other oils are too...greasy?"

"Yes, you can understand it that way." Ding Xirui was amused by this and nodded. In fact, lard belongs to the category of high-saturated fats. Soybean oil, corn oil, etc. are prone to cause inflammatory reactions due to the proportion of ingredients. The ingredients of sesame oil, olive oil, and camellia oil are all suitable, but at this time, olive oil was basically non-existent, and camellia oil was a royal tribute. How could ordinary people afford it? Having sesame oil was already very good.

"Next, let's talk about staple foods. It is better to mix black rice, purple rice, brown rice and white rice than to eat only white rice. Black rice, purple rice, etc. can replenish qi and blood, and brown rice can help gastrointestinal motility. In addition, yam, sweet potato, and pumpkin can all be part of the staple food, which is more beneficial to the human body." Ding Xirui continued.

"Well, that means white rice porridge is not as good as purple rice porridge or barley porridge?"

"Yes, Si Miao, you really get it right away!"

White rice is a refined carbohydrate with a high glycemic index. Whether it is for weight loss, gastrointestinal conditioning, or anti-inflammatory diet, it must be paired with a sugar-controlled diet to control the total sugar intake and the blood sugar fluctuations of each meal. Rice with vegetables can have a certain control effect, but if you start directly from the staple food and improve the staple food structure, the effect will be better.

"Then about meat. Try to eat less pork, lamb, and beef?"

"Second sister-in-law, because these are all irritating foods, right?" Ren Simiao said.

"Yes, when I was taking medicine for recuperation, the doctor would tell me not to eat these."

"Then we can't eat fish and shrimp either?" Ren Simiao asked.

"Do you have any adverse reactions such as breathing problems or rashes after eating fish and shrimp?"

"Not these."

"When you are not taking medicine, you can eat some properly, no problem. Don't worry about not having meat to eat, you can eat some chicken, duck, or goose meat."

"Okay." Ren Simiao nodded.

"Then there are the vegetables we usually eat, such as cabbage, radish, shepherd's purse, and various mushrooms. They are all very good. We often cook them in the kitchen and we eat whatever they make." Ding Xirui said with a smile. Cruciferous vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, radish, and cabbage, contain glucosinolates, and mushrooms contain polysaccharides, which have a good anti-inflammatory effect.

"Xi Rui, can we grow some vegetables in our yard? I have nothing to do..." Mrs. Ren said.

"Aunt, I think it's okay, but mother might worry that you'll be too tired and won't bear it."

"Then..." Ren Simiao and her daughter looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

"Aunt, don't be anxious. You have just arrived and have experienced so many things. Father and mother must want you to rest well for a while. It should be okay to talk about these things after the New Year and the beginning of spring." Ding Xirui comforted.

"Okay." The mother and daughter nodded.

"Let's take a look at this one, which shows food made from soybeans." Ding Xirui turned to a new page.

"Well, we often eat tofu at home, and we have soy milk for breakfast every day. Is it good to eat more of these?" Ren Simiao asked.

"Yes." Ding Xirui nodded and continued, "Tofu can nourish the liver and kidneys, it is cheap and is a very good food. I have a friend whose family runs a restaurant. The restaurant specializes in three tofu stews, which are very popular." Soy products are high-quality plant protein. China, a great country, has explored the possibilities of soybeans over thousands of years. The food made from it has high nutritional value, strong plasticity, and rich flavor. It is truly amazing.

"Finally, for fruits, we eat whatever is available in season. We pick those that are not too sweet and have dark colors."

"Now that you put it that way, it's actually not that difficult." Mrs. Ren said.

"Yes, aunt, the kitchen at home is now being improved." Ding Xirui nodded, she turned to Ren Simiao and asked a question:

"Si Miao, put all the foods I just mentioned together and think about what they look like."

Ren Simiao rolled her eyes and thought for a moment. After a moment, a smile appeared on her face and she said, "Second sister-in-law, it's like a rainbow!"

Ding Xirui smiled. Ren Simiao was indeed a smart girl.

"The purple part includes purple rice and plums, the cyan and green parts are vegetables of different shades, the yellow parts include corn and soybeans, the orange parts include pumpkin and tangerines, and the red parts include watermelon and cherries." Ren Simiao listed them one by one.

"There are also white mushrooms, yams, radishes, and pears," Ding Xirui added.

"It's really a rainbow." Mrs. Ren thought for a while and said.

"Yes, we just need to eat a rainbow, so that our bodies will be healthy."

All three laughed.
