List of Disinfected and Antibacterial Foods

The epidemic situation in Hong Kong is severe. Even if both employers and helpers have been vaccinated, it is difficult to avoid being infected. There must be many styles of food on the market, but how should we choose ingredients during the epidemic? This time we will teach the helpers to choose some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients.

 

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is a self-protection mechanism, the body's immune response to reduce harmful stimuli and begin the healing process. Trauma or pathogenic infection of the body may cause inflammation, with symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain; inflammation will reduce our infection and heal wounds and tissue damage.

 

The foods we eat regularly contain compounds that neutralize inflammation in the body, as well as cause it. Incorporating anti-inflammatory and sanitizing foods into dishes, as well as avoiding or reducing inflammation-promoting foods, is important for health.

 

Foods that trigger inflammation

1. Sugar

Eating too much sugar can lead to tooth decay, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.

 

2. Dairy

Asians do not digest milk well because they are lacking of eneyme, which is also a common allergen and can cause inflammatory reactions.

 

3. Trans fats

Increases bad cholesterol and reduces good cholesterol. They increase inflammation, obesity, and may trigger degenerative diseases.

 

4. Processed and red meat

This type of food contains the molecule (Neu5Gc). After ingesting this compound, the body starts producing anti-Neu5Gc antibodies that trigger chronic inflammation. Some foods commonly eaten by Hong Kong people, such as luncheon meat and sausages, may contain this substance.

 

5. Artificial additives and preservatives

Packaged foods often contain artificial food additives such as sodium glutamate (MSG) and aspartame. Can trigger an inflammatory response. Read labels carefully before buying to gauge risk.

 

List of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal foods

1. Garlic

The allicin in it has strong bactericidal power, and it is more difficult for bacteria and viruses to invade the body for those who often eat garlic.

Common Uses: Add garlic to fry or cook until fragrant.

 

2. Onion

Contains quercetin, which can help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Common dishes: Fried beef with onions, scrambled eggs with black pepper and onions.

 

3. Black and green tea

With tea polyphenols, it can not only inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestine, but also promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, and has an anti-inflammatory effect to prevent gastroenteritis.

Common drinks: lychee black tea, pineapple green tea.

 

4. Mushrooms

Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, it can regulate the immune system and inhibit cell inflammation.

Common dishes: fried kale with white mushrooms, fried broccoli with white mushrooms, mushroom soup.

 

5. Pineapple (pineapple)

Contains enzymes that reduce inflammation and swelling in the body, and is extremely rich in vitamin C to protect immune system health.

Common usage: making drinks, pineapple sweet and sour meat, raw food.
