China News Service, Shanghai, January 8th (Reporter Zheng Yingying) Do you recommend drinking milk tea after "Yangkang"?
Do canned yellow peaches have any practical effect besides pleasant mood?
Can steaming oranges with salt really relieve "blade throat"?
At the Shanghai Science Popularization Forum held on January 7, Wang Zhengyuan, deputy chief physician of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention and doctor of nutrition, answered whether and why some of the current "Yangkang" Internet celebrity foods are effective:
There is nothing wrong with porridge, but milk is more recommended
If your appetite is not good, you may choose to drink porridge to "extend your life".
Wang Zhengyuan said, "There is nothing wrong with porridge, but relatively speaking, porridge is relatively deficient in nutrition and low in energy density. After eating too much, it will support the stomach, and other foods with better nutrition or higher energy density will not be able to eat. "
Therefore, he recommends milk or yogurt, "'Yangkang' people do not have a good appetite, can't eat, and even our throat is not very comfortable, we recommend yogurt, because yogurt has higher energy density and is not harmful to lactose. The tolerant crowd is friendlier."

Milk tea on the "recommended list"
Carbs are a love-hate thing, but they're indispensable when it comes to fighting viruses.
"If you are full, you will have the strength to lose weight. Similarly, if you are full, you will have the strength to fight the virus." Wang Zhengyuan said.
He said that generally speaking, good sources of carbohydrates are staple foods and fruits. If you really can’t eat enough, you can drink some sugary drinks as an energy supplement; milk tea is the most recommended among sugary drinks, because the energy density of milk tea is lower than that of sugary drinks. It is high in beverages, and some ingredients are added to milk tea, which is richer in nutrients than ordinary beverages.
Among sugary drinks, he also recommends sports drinks, because sports drinks have certain mineral content standards, which can supplement electrolyte loss caused by fever and sweating.
Canned yellow peaches are not only "spiritual cans"
Regarding the "net celebrity food" canned yellow peaches, Wang Zhengyuan said that canned yellow peaches can supplement vitamins and minerals. In addition, canned yellow peaches are "cooler" and are more friendly to the throat, which can improve the comfort of eating.
He said that the sweetness of canned food will also provide pleasure signals to the brain. "When sugar enters our body, it can bind to the sweet taste receptors in the mouth, prompting the brain to secrete 'happy molecules' - dopamine."
Can steaming oranges with salt really relieve "blade throat"?
Steamed oranges with salt can relieve "blade throat", Wang Zhengyuan said, because oranges are rich in rutin, which can reduce blood vessel permeability and eliminate throat swelling.
Are other juices also available?
Regarding this question, he explained that rutin is mainly found in orange peel and tangerine veins (the inner tendons of the peel), and steaming food can help rutin dissolve better, so that it will taste more; Ding content will be very low.
He also introduced that rutin-rich fruits include not only citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, lemons, etc.), but also tomatoes, eggplants, and buckwheat.
