"The juice squeezed by a loved one is milky." "Intentionally starve yourself and control your desires in order to regain your ability to be happy." Drinking green juice, eating vegan and fasting regularly, Zhang Jingchu’s health theory is very popular on social media.
Recently, Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Nanjing, told reporters that she operated according to the recipe recommended by Zhang Jingchu, and the taste of green juice was very strange, so she would vomit after drinking two mouthfuls. Are these health care methods recommended by stars reliable and suitable for ordinary people? In this regard, Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News reporter interviewed Jin Hui, director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University.

Milk green juice? Take two drinks and you’re going to throw up.
750 grams of celery+a carrot+a handful of perilla leaves. Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Nanjing, juiced according to this recipe, which was originally for beauty and slimming. However, the reality is a bit embarrassing. "There is a celery flavor and a perilla flavor, and then mixed together, it is very difficult to drink. After drinking two mouthfuls, I will soon vomit."
In the health video shared by Zhang Jingchu, she also emphasized that "the first cup of green juice in the morning must be filtered, so that nutrients such as chlorophyll and vitamins can quickly reach the small intestine, which is convenient for defecation. After waiting for 15-20 minutes, drink the second cup of vegetables+fruit dew, without dregs. Vegetables with fruits can slow down the sugar rise."
The reporter searched a large number of health videos shared by Zhang Jingchu, and found that "technical terms" which are difficult for ordinary people to understand frequently occur, such as carrying personal biological information and chlorophyll reaching the small intestine quickly. So, is what she shared really scientific and healthy?
“‘ Squeezing green juice by hand will carry personal biological information ’ There is no scientific basis for the statement. When ordinary people squeeze fruit and vegetable juice, they must first ensure the freshness of the ingredients and the environmental sanitation during the production process. " Jin Hui said that green juice will taste like milk, which may be influenced by mood. For example, when people are in a good mood, drinking a cup of green juice may feel fragrant, but when they are in a bad mood, they may feel bitter. Secondly, everyone has different tastes. Some people prefer the taste of vegetables, while others find it hard to accept.
For the fruit and vegetable juice regimen advocated by Zhang Jingchu, experts also specially reminded us to pay attention to these three points: First, it is no problem to drink the first cup of green juice as boiled water to replenish water in the morning, but it is forbidden to replace vegetables with fruits because the fructose content of vegetables is less; Second, if you add vegetables to fruit dew for breakfast, you must control the amount of fruit, because the amount of fruit juice is low, and the sugar content may exceed the standard if you don’t control the amount of fruit; Third, there is a certain difference between direct drinking and chewing. If you drink it at once, it will quickly reach the intestine, and the concentration of fructose will be relatively high. Therefore, it is not recommended for ordinary people to drink fruit and vegetable juice for a long time, especially as a staple food.
Fasting for 4 days? Beware of refeeding syndrome
Zhang Jingchu not only advocates vegetarian diet, but also regularly shares his own fasting method. In the first issue of vlog, she claimed that she had been fasting for 4 days, her mind was clear, her energy was full, and her eyes felt brighter. When referring to the method of fasting, she said that she usually only drinks water, but this time she was worried about the heavy workload and drank 2000 ml of celery juice in the first two days.
Fasting is different from fasting. Generally, people only drink water and don’t eat anything. People need to endure hunger and rely on willpower to persist. "This kind of fasting method, ordinary people don’t try. Obesity accompanied by metabolic diseases should also be carried out under the guidance of nutritionists or doctors, and secondly, we should be careful of re-feeding syndrome. " Jin Hui said that refeeding syndrome refers to electrolyte metabolism disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia and a series of symptoms caused by long-term hunger or malnutrition and re-intake of nutrients.
For the long-term vegetarian practice, Jin Hui reminded that from the perspective of nutrition, it is not recommended for ordinary people to adhere to such eating habits. The human body needs to ingest seven nutrients: protein, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, water and dietary fiber. People who are vegetarians for a long time may have unbalanced nutrition due to the singleness of food intake. "Long-term intake of carbohydrates is insufficient, people will be prone to hair loss and may also affect menstruation. Insufficient intake of protein for a long time will lead to muscle loss, which will also lead to decreased immunity and it is difficult to resist disease. "
