Chapter 720: Black Box Challenge
Nodding seriously, I felt like a primary school student learning a new word, both excited and feeling a little nervous that I would not be able to grasp it for a while.
Jin Huimin said that there are similar Chinese medicine in his country, and Inoue Heisai said that his ancestors learned Chinese medicine from Huaxia thousands of years ago.
A group of people talked so happily that they unconsciously chatted until the evening, and after dinner, they dispersed in their own interest.
If it weren't for going back tomorrow to prepare for the competition, Ma Tianyao estimated that the three would definitely have to talk with him all night.
The next day, at 8:30 a.m.
All the teams that made the cut arrived on time at the 88th floor of Monte Carlo, and to their surprise, the layout of the 88th floor today was completely new, and even the stools used yesterday were removed.
Ma Tianyao sat in the audience and muttered quietly.
"I can't imagine that Kevin Moster still has a cleanliness fetish......"
On stage, the beautiful host started again......
The big screen also announced the information of the teams to be played today in a timely manner.
1, Su Gree, the national team
2, Smith of the United States
3. Galava of Indu
4. Zorro Knorz of Italy
5, Wren of the Enamel Kingdom
6, mallet country Jin Huimin
7, Japan's Inoue Heisai
8. Stephen Berg of the Eagle Country
"First of all, let's congratulate the Huaxia team for entering the semi-finals in advance!"
Everyone applauded, and after the applause stopped, they heard the host laugh.
"Now, I declare that today's competition has officially begun! Today, these eight teams will have a black box challenge on the big screen, and we have prepared eight black boxes in the ingredient room for eight teams to choose from, and they can only use the ingredients in the boxes to make dishes.
The dishes will be selected by the three members of the Food and Health Committee who are specially invited by us, and the top three will be determined according to the nutritional index of the dishes produced by each group, and they will enter the semi-finals together with the Huaxia team!!"
As soon as the words fell, all the teams in the competition gasped, and I have to say that the difficulty of today's game is the highest ever.
After hearing this, the bald uncle covered his mouth and snickered, and whispered teasing.
"It's good that we advanced ahead of schedule, otherwise it would be really. Look at these eight teams, it's like a dead father. ”
Ling Yun nodded in agreement.
"The unknown is the most terrifying, if you are unlucky to choose a strange material, it is estimated that you will vomit blood. And also...... Today, three of the eight were eliminated, and the pressure was already very high. ”
Feng Lei also nodded, and was about to speak, but Ma Tianyao interjected in advance.
"This is not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is to make nutritious meals, so this round of testing is not only the cooking skills, but also the understanding of each chef's nutritional structure of the dishes, and the judges of the Food and Health Committee can not care whether your food is delicious or not. ”
The contestants on the stage have already entered the food room and started to choose the black box, and at this time, the synchronized video screen between the ingredients has been transmitted on the big screen.
Sure enough, there are eight different places inside, and they are placed in famous places, and they are called Sister Chicken Silk.
Sister Chicken Silk talked enthusiastically, Ma Tianyao listened to a rough idea, only to hear that the other party seemed to talk about food, nutrition, health and other relationships.
The World Chef Contest has become a lecture on food health, talking about what diseases can be prevented by eating too much fruit, what foods can cause some diseases, and so on.
The bald uncle has been pouting since the beginning, and he can't help it anymore at the moment, muttering quietly.
"How do I feel as if I'm back in China, how can this judge seem to be some big fool in our country, telling you that mung beans can cure all diseases, and then the price of mung beans will rise......"
Ling Yun also pursed his lips with a smile and said.
"I suddenly remembered a joke about an expert who told others that they should not eat bananas every day, and that they should not eat too much, and that others thought that eating too many bananas would cause some kind of disease, but the expert said that eating too many bananas would easily lead to death......
"You can't eat too much of anything, but you don't have to deliberately avoid it, if you can't eat it, you can't eat it, what's the point of living? It's like barbecue, instant noodles, and fried food, everyone knows that this thing is not good for the body, but you can't stop it from being delicious. ”
"That's right, there is an old man in our community who has a cerebral infarction, the doctor told him to quit smoking and drinking, guess what the old man said, the old man said that I am over 80 years old, and I will live in a few days, if I don't smoke or drink, I might as well hang myself now." I have summed it up, people come to the world crying in this life, they have to live with a smile, how can they laugh?
"Don't talk nonsense, listen carefully! People are experts in the World Committee on Food Health, not bricks for TV shopping and medical lectures. ”
Listening to the more these three chatted, the more they were out of character, Ma Tianyao scolded, and the three of them instantly quieted down, and listened to Sister Ji Si on the stage continue.
According to the latest "World Health Handbook Survey Report" data, this year's obesity population index in the world reached 3.8 percent, a year-on-year increase of 2.21 percent! and the number of people with lesions due to obesity reached 8.31 percent, a year-on-year increase of 3.33 percent.
In addition, according to the World Survey on Disease Prevention and Treatment, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases increased by 19.44% this year, a year-on-year increase of 9.31%.
According to the conclusion of our survey, at least 80% of these obese and diseased people are caused by eating habits.
Overeating, lack of moderation, unbalanced meat and vegetarian mix, excessive oiliness, etc., are all the culprits of these problems.
On May 15, 2013, part of the results announced by the Chinese Nutrition Society at the "11th National Conference on Nutritional Science" showed that if you can consume sodium, potassium and vitamin C according to the standard, the incidence of many chronic diseases including hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and cancer will be significantly reduced. ”
Hearing this, the crowd in the audience became solemn, and Ma Tianyao also knew that she had misunderstood others, so she listened very carefully, so she paused and spoke again.
"Based on our findings, we believe that in addition to promoting nutritious meals to people around the world, it is also important to remind people to improve their cooking practices.
For example, it is recommended that adults control their daily sodium intake to less than 1.5 grams, which is about 5 grams of salt.
Another example is potassium supplementation, which can prevent stroke, assist in normal muscle contraction, and also have the effect of lowering blood pressure. People who are healthy automatically excrete excess potassium from their bodies, but people with kidney disease need to control their potassium intake. To prevent chronic diseases, potassium intake should be above 3.5 grams.
The nature of potassium is relatively stable and is not easy to lose from food, so you only need to eat more potassium-rich foods to replenish it. For example, soybeans, black beans, mung beans, red beans, etc., contain more than 800 mg of potassium per 100 grams, and potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, green leafy vegetables, etc. are also rich in potassium, and a medium-sized potato contains nearly 1 gram of potassium. In addition, dried jujubes, raisins, etc., which are all sources of "concentrated" potassium.
Finally, eat more vegetables, and foods rich in vitamin C are mainly vegetables and fruits. Common chili peppers, green peppers, radish tassels, mustard greens and other vitamin C are very rich. However, it should be noted that vitamin C is very delicate and easy to lose when exposed to heat and water, so it should be washed and then cut when cooking, and fried quickly, or blanched and cold.
In addition, many fruits are also rich in vitamin C, such as sour dates, fresh dates, sea buckthorn, hawthorn, kiwifruit, citrus, etc. And ......"
After hearing it again, the more Ma Tianyao listened, the more he felt that what people said made sense, without changing the color, aroma and taste of the food, if he could pay attention to the nutritional structure of sodium, potassium and vitamin C and other elements and trace elements in each dish, then the dish would undoubtedly rise to a higher level.
But in the same way, the difficulty of making this dish will increase exponentially, after all, the naked eye is not a machine, the nutrients are all internal things, and not everyone is a nutritionist.
