[Health pick] "Eating beans everyday reduces the risk of death".How to improve the quality of your meal?

We have useful health news for our viewers.

Every Friday, 'Health Pick' starts.

Studies have shown that daily consumption of beans reduces the risk of death.

A research team at the University of Minnesota in the United States evaluated the quality of meals using data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey of 44,000 adults in the United States.

Eating one serving of beans every day increases your dietary quality score by about 16% and eating two portions by about 20%.

If the quality of the meal increases, the risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc. decreases.

However, beans are high in fiber, so you have to gradually increase your intake! It's a must remember.

Studies have shown that eating 'ultra-processed foods' such as fast food and soda increases the risk of metabolic diseases in obese children and adolescents.

Each 10% increase in the rate of ultra-high food intake increases the risk of severe fatty liver disease and insulin resistance by 1.3 times.

It was also found that obese adolescents eat more than 20% of their daily food intake as 'ultra-processed foods'.

The researchers emphasized the need to reduce the intake of 'ultra-processed foods' to lower the risk of metabolic abnormalities.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has guided the correct use and precautions for "smoking desire-lowering drugs" and "smoking habit-improving drugs."

First of all, he said that both smoking desire-lowering agents and habit-improving agents should be careful not to use them for a long time as a substitute for cigarettes.

In particular, he stressed that adolescents, pregnant women, and people with inflammation of the oral cavity or occipital region should not use it.

He also added that when buying non-drug smoking cessation supplements, you must check the non-drug labeling and make sure that the product is approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said it had suspended the sale of "kkotwa-ttopped corn snacks" manufactured by the Dole-BioFood-Farmers Association and sold by Hansalim-Business Association and recalled the products.

This is because fumonisin, a mycotoxin, was detected in excess of the standard value in the product.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety asked consumers who purchased products marked with a manufacturing date of "October 26, 2024" not to eat and return them.
