How should humans and wild animals get along？

　　The severity and complexity of the COVID-19 epidemic far exceeded people’s expectations. Today, the host or intermediate host in novel coronavirus is considered to be related to wild animals such as bats or pangolins. Throughout the world’s major epidemics in human history, almost every time is related to wild animals, which further forces us to reflect: how do humans and wild animals coexist and coexist?

　　Wild hosts of deadly viruses or bacteria.

　　The struggle between human beings and viruses or pathogenic bacteria has never stopped.

　　Plague is caused by a microorganism named Yersinia pestis. Besides mice, there are other common rodents and wild carnivores as the host animals. Besides these animals, there are fleas parasitic on them. The first recorded plague pandemic in human history occurred in the 6th century A.D., originated in the Middle East, and spread to North Africa and Europe through Egypt, killing nearly 100 million people. At that time, the total population of the world was only over 200 million. The second plague began in the mid-14th century, and in 300 years, the European continent lost 1/3 to 1/2 of its population. The third plague pandemic began in the second half of the 19th century, and it first broke out in Yunnan, China, and then broke out in South China, North China, Northeast China and other countries such as Europe, Asia and Africa.

　　In 1976, a terrible disease broke out in Sudan and Zaire in West Africa, and the patient died quickly after high fever and systemic bleeding. Scientists found a new virus in the body of the deceased and named it after Ebola, a beautiful river in West Africa. This is a typical zoonotic infectious disease, and mammals such as humans, apes, porcupines, antelopes, monkeys and fruit bats may be infected. Scientific research suggests that fruit bats may be the natural reservoir of Ebola virus.

　　Marburg virus is a close relative of Ebola virus. The virus first appeared in Germany in 1967, 31 people were infected and 7 people died. The source of infection was traced back to a group of African green monkeys from Uganda. The largest Marburg virus epidemic on record occurred in Angola, Africa in 2005, when the mortality rate was as high as 90%. At present, there are 12 outbreaks of Marburg virus, the most recent of which was in Uganda in 2017.

　　SARS, a disaster that is still fresh in our memory, has a mortality rate of 11%. SARS coronavirus is the same as novel coronavirus coronavirus. At first, some people thought civet cats were the host of the virus, but after more than ten years of follow-up research, scientists detected the gene residue of SARS virus in the body of Jutoubat, and thought that Jutoubat might be the real culprit of SARS virus.

　　For thousands of years, as the oldest enemy of human beings, viruses have been coexisting with human beings. Viruses are always threatening human beings, and human beings are constantly developing medicine to conquer viruses. Nowadays, plague has become less attractive, mainly due to the advent of plague vaccine in 1908 and the development of modern biomedicine. However, new viruses are still emerging one after another, and some old viruses are also making a comeback in a mutated way. We have to be on our guard at all times.

　　Pandora’s Box was opened.

　　The deadly virus or bacteria infected by human beings are actually permanent residents of other species. For example, bats carry a variety of viruses, including hundreds of coronaviruses; Wild snakes carry a variety of parasites in the body. If humans are infected, they can cause peritonitis, septicemia, pericarditis, iriditis and other diseases. In severe cases, they will damage many organs and even endanger their lives. Raccoon is the natural host of rabies virus, and many parasites carried in it can cause damage to human intestines and stomach. The wild groundhog, which became popular on the Internet because of the "expression pack", also carries Yersinia pestis and other germs that can cause intestinal, liver and brain damage.

　　Generally speaking, without human intervention, these viruses or bacteria only exist in wild animals. One of the unique qualities of bats is that they are more tolerant of viruses than other mammals. As the only mammal that can fly, bats have a special immune system. In this regard, there is a popular expression on the Internet: "Bats have a high fever of 40 degrees for a long time, and they have sealed the virus for thousands of years by themselves, staying up all night and trying to play a lonely Pandora’s box, so that the virus can coexist peacefully with itself."

　　However, as human beings at the top of the biological chain, they sometimes do the opposite, attacking and hunting wild animals for their own selfish desires, and causing many innocent creatures to suffer.

　　In some people’s eyes, bats, mice, snakes, pangolins, monkeys and other wild animals are all edible and delicious. Wild animals such as Chinese sturgeon, civet cats and pangolins are on the verge of extinction in many areas due to human overfishing and eating. The populations of giant salamander (giant salamander), wild sea cucumber, wild frogs, wild birds, muntjac, musk deer, gecko and other species have declined sharply.

　　Human’s aggression against animals is not only manifested as appetite. In the documentary "The Secret of the Billionaire’s Wardrobe", there is a pair of shoes, only ten pairs are sold worldwide, and the valuation is 20,000 US dollars. The special feature of this pair of shoes is that they are made from the skins of nine kinds of animals, except ostrich skin, crocodile skin, snake skin, and even lizard skin and elephant skin. Luxury brand Hermes has a white platinum bag of Himalayan crocodile, and its flawless leather is actually peeled off from the crocodile.

　　In addition, in the process of rapid industrialization and urbanization, forests are cut down, wetlands are squeezed out, and the habitats of wild animals are artificially occupied and separated … … Human activities increase the probability and speed of viruses or pathogenic bacteria in wild animals spreading to human bodies, especially in cities with high population density, which are more prone to epidemic diseases.

　　It can be seen that we humans have crossed the border of peaceful coexistence with wild animals, destroyed the original balance of nature, and opened the Pandora’s Box for the spread of epidemics, so that viruses or pathogenic bacteria that originally lived in a closed loop can invade the human body, and constantly mutate and recombine, weaving new strains of viruses or bacteria with stronger toxicity and tolerance, which will inevitably give human beings a painful lesson.

　　不打扰，就是最好的相处方式

　　人类和自然界的关系比我们想象的要复杂得多。任何野生动物，无论是濒危的还是常见的，在生态系统中都有独特的功能和定位，其他物种无法取代。因此，要从源头上预防新发传染病，我们能做的，就是不打扰——这也是人类与野生动物相处的最好方式。

　　不打扰的前提，是我们必须学会敬畏自然。中华文明历来强调“天人合一”的自然观，道家崇尚“道法自然”“清静无为”，孔子提倡“钓而不网，弋不射宿”。如今，我国的经济社会发展进入到一个全新的历史阶段，随着习近平生态文明思想的形成、发展与成功实践，我们必须承认自然的主体价值，敬畏自然，敬畏生命。

　　不打扰的内涵，是我们必须学会和谐共生。杜绝不合理的野生动物消费只是最基本的要求，同时还要减少、杜绝对野生动物栖息地的侵扰。在很多人看来，山里没有了野生动物，山还是原来的山。而从生态学的角度看，没有了野生动物，山已经不是原来的山了。一些野生动物的相继灭绝，意味着地球生态系统被破坏，随后，各种自然灾害就会接踵而来。

　　The principle of not disturbing is to keep a scientific and reasonable distance. Just when novel coronavirus was raging, wildlife management stations in some places drove away wintering bats on a large scale; In some places, the dogs in the whole village have been killed, and the number of stray cats and dogs in the city has increased in an instant … … It is our human fault to simply and rudely transfer the blame to other animals. From a painful experience, we should think deeply: what kind of distance should we keep between human beings and wild animals? Wild animals grow freely in their own territory. If it is not human intrusion, how can viruses or pathogenic bacteria invade and endanger human health and even life?

　　The root of not disturbing is to establish a correct value concept. With the continuous expansion of human greed and the increasing ability to capture nature, when what is claimed exceeds the output of nature, the ecological balance will be broken and human beings will face the crisis of losing their survival safety. The rapid development of industrial civilization for hundreds of years has degraded the earth’s biosphere to the brink of collapse. We must establish correct values, take the idea of ecological civilization as the guide, accelerate the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, consciously protect wild animals, maintain ecological balance, and realize friendly symbiosis and harmonious coexistence between human beings and wild animals.

＂Post-90s＂ wildlife photographer Chu Wenwen： Their real destination is nature.

2024年3月8日 | admin | D4
Nature is selfless, and she shows everything to human beings unabashedly. On April 22nd, Chu Wenwen, a wildlife photographer born after 1990s, and Wang Yuheng, a water brother, visited Sisyphus Bookstore with their new book "Chu Tong: My Wild Animal Friends and I" and accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from The Paper.

"The real situation is even more cruel than in the movie."
Chu Wenwen, who was born in Altay, is 25 years old. Because of an animal protection scientist’s father, she was taken to the wild at the age of 2; At the age of 7, I began to pack my bags, climb mountains and mountains, cross rivers and wear forests; When I was in my teens, I went to the disaster relief with the team, carrying frozen wild animals all the way in the snow. While other children were busy reciting ancient poems, Chu Wenwen tried hard to remember the names of each plant on the plains of Karamay.
At the age of 7, my father gave Chu Wenwen her first camera and took her to take the first photo of wild animals, which was also an important page in the history of wildlife protection in China-the wild horse of Platts in 2001. From then on, Wenwen often walked in the wild with her camera. At the age of 23, she and her partner also set up the Pupil’s Beginning Nature Image Studio and developed it into Pupil’s Beginning Nature Conservation Association.

At the beginning of the pupil, the Nature Conservation Association has a fixed team of about 10 people. The team based in Altay includes rangers who monitor and rescue wild animals and professional video teams who shoot wild animals. "We are not only doing imaging now, but also doing nature education and endangered species protection."
"I have been telling my team an idea. Whether the film is good or not is not the most important thing. The bottom line and principle you have to respect is to ensure that the animal’s body and mind can’t be hurt. You have to keep it in a complete and normal state, so that what you shoot is a photographic work." Chu Wenwen told The Paper that there are too many pictures similar to "a bird standing on a straw" in the photography circle.
In the story of Wulin owl in Inner Mongolia, Chu Wenwen mentioned that some bird-patting grandfathers did whatever it took to get an ideal picture. Two of them got the GPS positioning point of Wulin owl’s nest privately and went straight to the owl’s nest without saying hello. They wanted to take pictures of a blackbird flying, so they tried their best to drive away a blackbird resting in its nest, and even threw branches, plastic bags and stones at it. One of the stones also hit the owl’s eyes, and finally the owl flew away with a moan.
What happened to this black owl later? At the beginning, Wenwen heard that a friend found it in a forest far away-although one eye had stopped bleeding, the broken wound was visible, and the eyeball could not be seen, and it was obviously blind.
"When shooting wild animals, you can’t force them to look like you want. You should give them more time and patience, waiting for them to show the most harmonious side in nature, not those things that attract people’s attention."
"These photos of Wenwen that everyone saw, for a moment, she may have stayed in water or even ice for more than ten days." At the event site, Wang Yuheng specifically mentioned Chu Wenwen’s father, the animal protection scientist Chu Hongjun. "Have you seen Hoh Xil? Many real situations are even more cruel than in movies. To protect a protected area, we must struggle with many aspects. Mr. Chu Hongjun is a particularly respectable person. "

"Any part that is peeled off is just blood-stained pain."
The stories behind those photos written by Chu Wenwen are warm-hearted and shocking. What she lets people see is not only the brilliance of nature, but also the scars left by nature after being hurt by human beings.
For example, because of eating "breath-holding pills" (a poison invented by a dog dealer in China) by mistake, the big wolf in Inner Mongolia fell in the snow ten centimeters thick, and his claws and toenails were covered with blood scabs. For example, because it is to be made into "chicken wine", Hainan brown-winged Jay can only struggle in the hunter’s bag.
It takes at least 30 such lovely minks to make a mink coat-a painful number.

Maybe someone will say, doesn’t that person always eat fish and meat? In response to this, Wen Wen responded: "In order to survive, human beings need enough food sources, so they are already raising animals. But domestic animals can already satisfy their food and clothing needs, so why should they consume wild animals? Domestic animals are far away from the native land and can multiply indefinitely, and their survival will not be endangered. Wild animals are different. "
At first, Wenwen felt that, what’s more, the "consumption" of wild animals by human beings is also dangerous. "Parasites on wild animals, except in the digestive tract, will also be under the skin, and then you can see the worms, but you can’t see the eggs, and it can’t be killed by high temperature. The so-called medicated wine and medicated diet have no scientific basis, but the idea of always playing wild animals is actually harmful to people’s health. "
As for some places, people believe that spike, wolf’s mustache and wolf’s skin can ward off evil spirits. At first, Wenwen thought it was nonsense.
"In fact, those are only a small part of the body. The real soul of the wolf has disappeared from the moment it died. How can these two bones protect you?" Chu Wenwen said, "once any wild animal loses its integrity, then any part that is stripped off is just a pain covered with blood, which has no meaning."

"Humans and wild animals have the possibility of coexistence."
According to the latest data, there are 162 Mengxin beaver families in China, with an estimated population of 500. The above figures represent Mengxin beavers in Altay, Xinjiang, and even in China-less than the national treasure panda.
Chu Wenwen said that at present, the beaver population is stable, and more shrub willows are needed to further grow. In addition to beavers, cattle, sheep, camels and other domestic animals in the valley wetlands also eat shrub willows. So, is it possible for humans and wild animals to coexist?

"I think there is." Chu Wenwen told reporters in The Paper that this is exactly what they are helping the local government to explore. Because the shrub willow is the main food for the beaver in Mengxin, their team wants to solve the food shortage problem of the beaver in Mengxin by replanting the shrub willow, so they have a "beaver canteen" public welfare project. Through the joint efforts of caring people, 50,000 shrubbery willows provided by the local forestry department were planted near about 10 beaver families in Mengxin to provide enough food for beavers.
"The place where we want to plant trees is the pasture of herders. Therefore, the project launched this year is that we will distribute saplings to herders, let herders plant them, and we will give subsidies. Herdsmen can choose to plant or choose not to plant. "
Chu Wenwen told The Paper that this subsidy involves two inspections. The first inspection was in autumn to see if the cattle and sheep raised by herders had eaten the trees planted in spring and summer. The second acceptance was when we went to plant trees in the following spring. "If you can guarantee that the tree is still there these two times, I will send you all the subsidies."
"This is tantamount to giving herders a choice-choosing to plant this tree will not let cattle and sheep go in to eat, and the subsidies they get are enough for herders to buy grass for cattle and sheep to eat. Or herders don’t want this subsidy and let their own cattle and sheep eat it. In short, there are many ways to guide positively. "
For another example, at the beginning of this year, Wenwen and her team will do a nature education project, and they will also take many children to the wild and really participate in wildlife protection. "In this process, we will let them eat and live in herders’ homes, which will also increase the income of herders and let them know that wild animals can bring them real benefits in this place. Because sometimes herders are not wrong, after all, they have lived in this place for generations, and most people can still communicate, which is very kind. "
Chu Wenwen said: "You let them get something, and they are willing to pay. It is more reliable to let him spontaneously have the awareness of protecting wild animals through this method. "

"You don’t know if the next person who comes into contact with it has good intentions."
When it comes to the coexistence of human beings and wild animals, many people will think of the animated film "How to Train Your Dragon"-Vikings live with dragons, and people can provide food, accommodation and even companionship for dragons.
"But this is not the case." Chu Wenwen said that for wild animals, the real destination is nature. "What you think is’ good for it’ is not really good for it."
"In my eyes, the animals in zoos and wildlife parks are already domestic animals, because they can never go back (to nature)." Chu Wenwen told The Paper that under normal circumstances, they don’t want wild animals to contact people. "Because you don’t know whether the next person who comes into contact with it has good intentions."
But there are always some "abnormal situations", such as what should I do if I meet an injured wild animal? Chu Wenwen said: "Wild animals are injured, so don’t raise them yourself, but hand them over to the right institutions. For wild animals, reproduction and survival are the most important, rather than staying with their parents all the time. Even if you do get it back, the fetters will have adverse effects. Therefore, we will avoid too much contact with them during the rescue process. "
In Altay, Chu Wenwen is known as the "chairman of the Wildlife Disabled Persons’ Federation" because she has saved many "orphans of nature", such as the white-shouldered sculpture with broken wings because of bumping into the barbed wire fence of herders, the flamingo without half a flipper and the jerboa with amputated limbs. Chu Wenwen said with emotion: "The best hope to save them is to let them eventually return to nature."
At the event site, a student reader asked, "What can college students do for wildlife protection?" Wang Yuheng responded that everyone can actually do it. At present, there are also good protection organizations, but it is a bit mixed. "Many students don’t lack knowledge, what they lack is judgment. Sometimes our kindness will be taken advantage of. The most terrible thing is that once they are found to be used, some people may never want to do good again. "
Wang Yuheng donated all the royalties of "First Pupil" to "Beaver Canteen". At the scene, readers also asked questions about stray cats and dogs. Wang Hao responded: "For stray cats and dogs, I personally suggest not to feed them. Either take it home or send it back to the professional center after sterilization. If you want to choose an animal, it’s like choosing an object. Throughout his life. " Photography Huang mingrui

Why do people get sleepy easily in spring？ What is the way to eliminate the spring sleep？

2024年3月3日 | admin | A1
This article is transferred from: Southern PLUS
As the saying goes: "Sleepy in spring, sleepy in autumn and sleepy in winter", there are sleepy periods in a year, but sleepy in spring is a common phenomenon, and it also has the unique seasonal characteristics of spring.
Professor Wang Qinghai, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Guangdong Province and director of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong Province, said: "Spring is the main source of growth, and everything grows. After beginning of spring, the yang in the human body began to rise. In summer, the yang reached its peak, while in autumn it converged, and in winter it stored essence and yang. "
Why does spring make people sleepy? "It’s mainly because in the winter and spring seasons, the human body’s yang changes from Tibet to hair, and blood gas increases. If people who are full of qi and blood can better adapt to this change, there is no feeling. If the human body is insufficient blood gas, it is prone to symptoms of spring sleepiness, mainly because the yang in the human body can’t keep up with the rising pace of the yang outside. ".
01
#
Warm and humid areas are more prone to spring sleepiness.
#
Residents in Guangdong are more likely to fall asleep in spring, because it rains gradually in spring, especially in Lingnan area, where the ocean monsoon blows, making this area wet and rainy, with more water in the air and high relative humidity, so the human body is also prone to signs of dampness and heat. Water is wet and trapped in the spleen, and yang in the body cannot rise, which is similar to hypoxia in the brain, so people will be sleepy easily.
Specifically, the yang in a day is also divided into five stages: "being born, growing up, being strong, being old and being exhausted", and 9-10 am is the moment when the yang rises, and at this time, the original balance of yin and yang is broken due to the dampness of the spleen. Therefore, 9-10 am is a very difficult hour for people who are wet and sleepy.
02
#
Spleen deficiency, dampness and hyperactivity of liver fire are easy to fatigue.
#
Yang can melt moisture, just like when the sun comes out, the moisture disappears. Therefore, people with heavy yang are full of qi and blood, energetic, ruddy and quick-witted. There will be no dampness in such people, and spring sleep is unlikely to occur generally. But there are two kinds of people who are particularly prone to spring sleep.
#
The first type: spleen deficiency
#
This kind is relatively troublesome, mainly manifested as fatigue, drowsiness, heavy head, dizziness, and some even have nausea and loss of appetite. Generally, the tongue coating is thick and greasy, and the tongue quality is light, and tooth marks can be seen. "Spleen deficiency can’t transport water and dampness, and water and dampness in turn aggravate the symptoms of spleen deficiency. The combination of external dampness and internal dampness aggravates the symptoms of spring sleepiness." Wang Qinghai said, "In Guangdong, there are many people with spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness constitution."
#
The second type: hyperactive liver.
#
It is advisable to soothe the liver in spring, but if the liver fire is on the high side at ordinary times, such as impatience, palpitation, insomnia, dizziness, headache and other symptoms, it is also easy to feel sleepy due to physical weakness at this time.
It is worth noting that it is particularly easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for patients with hypertension due to damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder and hyperactivity of liver fire. Wang Qinghai said that in the last 1-2 weeks, the hospital has treated more than a dozen stroke patients, three of whom are only 30-40 years old. Experts remind that patients with high blood pressure who have symptoms such as listlessness, laziness, dizziness, fatigue and heavy limbs should not just think that they are sleepy in spring, but may have a stroke.

Exercise health

Besides diet, the second trick is exercise. Wang Qinghai said: "In spring and March, the earth’s atmosphere rises and the weather drops. At this time, people’s yang gradually tends to the epidermis and is on the rise. It is most suitable for going out for an outing, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and adapting to the growth of spring."
In this season, the more lazy you are, the more sleepy you will be, and the more sleepy you will be. Being lazy is not conducive to the rising of yang. Therefore, in order to adapt to the climate change, you should go to bed late and get up early in your daily life, and often go for a walk and outing outdoors in the Woods to integrate with nature.

The temperature changes greatly, so it is best to wear clothes with a thick bottom and a thin top.
#
In spring, the temperature changes greatly, and there are often cold waves, and there are more cold and warm weather. In addition, the skin of the human body has begun to drain, and the resistance to cold evil has weakened. Attention should be paid to adding clothes in time.
The ancient people’s experience in keeping in good health is that it is best to wear clothes "with a thick bottom and a thin top". "Thick at the bottom" is beneficial to the rising of the qi of the spring sun, and "thin at the top" is to prevent the yang from rising too much. ■

Is glutinous rice balls really difficult to digest？ Pay attention to these problems when eating glutinous rice balls, and be careful of your stomach!

2024年3月2日 | admin | A1

As a symbol of the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the fifteenth day of the first month is full of joy for the whole family. On this day, people will attend temple fairs, and in solve riddles on the lanterns, bowls of fragrant glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao will be served on the dining tables of every household. Speaking of this, we can’t avoid a problem: they are all soft, waxy, white, sweet and dense, and they all contain happiness, sweetness, reunion and beauty.What’s the difference between glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao?? Is it true that the heat of glutinous rice balls equals rice?

Tuchong creativity

01

Bei yuan Xiao nan sweet glutinous dumplings

It’s not just the region that distinguishes itself.

Although the main raw materials are glutinous rice and stuffing, there are obvious differences between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan in all aspects.

From the name, the title of "Yuanxiao" of course comes from the Lantern Festival. In the past, due to the low yield of glutinous rice in the north,Yuanxiao can only be regarded as a special food for the fifteenth day of the first month, and naming this food Yuanxiao also reflects the tradition of "not eating from time to time". In the southern region where glutinous rice production is more abundant, this kind of useFoods made of glutinous rice stuffing are quite common.Well, the meaning of "glutinous rice balls" is also very direct "dumplings in hot water" Only with the improvement of living standards, ingredients are no longer restricted by regions, and this originally distinct boundary has gradually disappeared. Nowadays, whether in the south or the north, whether around the Lantern Festival or not, we can eat these two kinds of food whenever we want.

From the production method, the core of glutinous rice balls is "Bao", that is, glutinous rice flour is mixed with water to form dough, and then the stuffing is wrapped. The core of Yuanxiao is "shaking". After putting the cut stuffing into a basket filled with dry glutinous rice flour, roll it on a layer, then moisten it with water added with glutinous rice flour to make its surface sticky again, and then repeat the above steps until the size and shape are appropriate. So, in terms of raw materials,The stuffing of Yuanxiao is usually processed into a solid state with a hard texture, while the glutinous rice balls do not have this requirement, and the stuffing is more moist and richer.In addition to black sesame seeds and peanuts, there will also be salty dumplings such as meat stuffing.

Tuchong creativity

From the appearance, the surface of glutinous rice balls is smooth because of the good dough, while the surface of Yuanxiao is relatively rough because of the direct use of dry powder. Also due to the use of dry powder, generally speaking, the soup cooked in Yuanxiao is more turbid, while the soup cooked in Tangyuan is more clear. the twoBesides being boiled in water, there are fried dumplings in the north, and dumplings in the south can also be fried..

In addition, there is a kind of "glutinous rice balls" without stuffing in the south, which are directly rolled into smaller balls with good glutinous rice flour balls. Although there is no step of "wrapping" this small dumpling, it can also be considered as a kind of glutinous rice balls because its making process also needs to go through the step of dough making.

Glutinous rice is rich in amylopectin

People with weak digestive function and children should not eat more.

Glutinous rice flour will be used in the production of glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao, and glutinous rice is a kind of food rich in amylopectin, which not only gives food stickiness, but also causes some problems. Different from the amylose in ordinary rice and flour we eat,The molecular weight of amylopectin in glutinous rice is large, and there are 1-6 glycosidic bonds in the structure that cannot be decomposed by enzymes in human body, which makes it difficult to be digested and completely excreted in the stomach..

If a large amount of food containing amylopectin is ingested at one time, it will accumulate in the stomach. On the one hand, it will stimulate the continuous secretion of gastric acid, on the other hand, it will promote the continuous high-intensity peristalsis of the stomach, thus bringing a heavy burden to the stomach. If this process is serious, it may also cause esophageal reflux and cause what we often call "heartburn". For people with weak digestive system functions such as gastrointestinal tract,Eating a lot of glutinous rice products will undoubtedly bring a heavier burden to the weak stomach, so it is suggested that these people should try to reduce the number and frequency of eating glutinous rice products such as glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao..

Tuchong creativity

Besides,Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are also not suitable for younger children.. On the one hand, children’s awareness of self-protection is poor, and if supervision is not in place, they may swallow and choke their throats. This is because children’s breathing intensity, tracheal width and vital capacity are not as good as those of adults. If the above dangers occur, it will easily lead to serious consequences. On the other hand, children’s digestive ability is also weak, and glutinous rice products are more likely to cause heartburn and acid reflux in children. Moreover, the hot stuffing of glutinous rice balls after cooking is also easy to cause burns to children. If children especially want to eat dumplings and yuanxiao, they must pay attention to the need to cool slightly and eat slowly with small mouths; But it’s not good to be too cold, because it will become more difficult to digest glutinous rice flour after it is cold.

Is it convenient to eat immediately after cooking?

Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are not suitable for breakfast and supper!

Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are delicious, but they are undoubtedly high-calorie foods. Glutinous rice flour and the rice we often eat are all processed from rice, and the carbohydrate content is close to 80%.From the point of view of heat,Eating glutinous rice products is no different from eating rice.. In addition, in order to pursue the taste and mouthfeel, the fillings of glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao are often nuts with a lot of added sugar, animal fat or a lot of fat. The seemingly cute little round dumplings are actually like a heat bomb.It is definitely not a good choice for people who need to lose weight..

Tuchong creativity

There is also a lot of families do this, but it is the wrong behavior:Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are not suitable for breakfast in the morning or supper before going to bed.!

In the morning when the gastrointestinal function is poor, eating glutinous rice products that are not easy to digest can easily lead to indigestion and affect the state of the day. From a nutritional point of view, (most) glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao are foods rich in carbohydrates and fats, but low in protein, which is difficult to meet the nutritional needs in the morning. Similarly,If you eat glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao as a midnight snack before going to bed, it may also reduce your sleep quality because of gastrointestinal discomfort, which will affect your work and life the next day..

How to solve the problem of foot sand after playing on the beach？ Xiamen seaside shower raiders attack

2024年3月2日 | admin | D4
[News Page-Taihai Net]

　　■ A footbath is set up near the beach in the waters around the East China Sea, which is convenient for citizens and tourists to wash off the sand on their feet after playing.

　　■ Foot bath pool near Haiyuntai.

　　■ Foot-washing pool in front of public toilets in Binhai Romantic Line.

　　■ The footbath beside Huangcuo Beach.

　　According to the Xiamen Evening News, the most annoying thing about going to the seaside is that you are covered with gravel but have nowhere to wash. Two years ago, the reporter visited many beaches in our city, and found that some of them had shower places, while others did not. Recently, the reporter visited again and found many changes. I will sort them out in detail today to provide you with service reference.

　　Baicheng sandy beach

　　Public toilets are hard to find.

　　Paid shower advertisements can be seen everywhere.

　　Recently, the reporter came to Baicheng Beach, which has convenient transportation and good sunset scenery, and has always been one of the attractions that many tourists must punch in. On the way from the parking lot of Hulishan to the beach, billboards of "washing feet and taking a shower" can be seen everywhere, which are basically clearly marked: washing feet once in 2 yuan and bathing in 10 yuan. The reporter observed that these operators basically pulled out a water pipe and opened their business to provide services. A service point near the beach, foot washing business is very hot, and it also sells drinks business.

　　There is a public toilet between Baicheng Beach and Hulishan Fort, but it is hard to find. You need to go through the small door and walk through multiple steps. You can only find it after passing through several paid shower points. Only a very small sign is seen along the way, indicating that the public toilet needs to go 30 meters ahead. The public toilet is adjacent to Hulishan Battery Bus Station, with the words Tourist Toilet in Hulishan Battery Scenic Area written on the side. It is open to the public from 7: 00 am to 7: 00 pm. In previous years, when reporters came here for an interview, there were three hand-washing pools and two foot-washing pools outside the door. This time, I found that the foot-washing pools and hand-washing pools were gone and replaced by several pots of green plants.

　　When the reporter arrived, it was 7: 02 pm. At this time, the public toilet was closed, and several tourists at the door seemed very helpless. Mr. Zheng, a tourist, said: "The setting of this public toilet is too unreasonable. It took me a long time to find it, but it was closed after I found it. I just wanted to wash my hands. Isn’t this driving people to the business?" Ms. He, a tourist, said, "I’ve been holding back for a long time, but it’s such a situation that I can’t hold back."

　　Mr. Li, a citizen, lives nearby. He said that there were indeed several footbath pools with unlimited time in the past, but people often come here to take a bath naked at night, which is really unsightly. In addition, some people carry buckets to steal water, which may be because of this. It was demolished. "But managers can’t dismantle things at once, and should consider the actual use needs of citizens and tourists. It should be changed to a managed public toilet, and the service should be humanized. "

　　Yefengzhai area

　　Easy to wash, there is a public toilet every few hundred meters.

　　Go along the road around the island, and you can see the public toilet sign indicating the distance on the roadside every walk. Generally, there is a public toilet every five or six hundred meters. In some areas where tourists are concentrated, such as Yefengzhai, there are two public toilets within 200 meters. Every public toilet is kept clean and maintained by the administrator, and there are free footbath pools at the door, ranging from 4 faucets to more than 10 faucets. The reporter turned on one of the faucets at random and found that they all worked normally, and the water was quite large, which could easily wash away the sediment on the body.

　　Mr. Li’s family is from Longyan. They are very happy while washing the sand and watching the scenery by the sea. Mr. Li said: "Going out to play is to choose a place with complete infrastructure, especially go on road trip, where parking is convenient and facilities are complete, and playing is really enjoyable."

　　Next to the public toilet of Yefengzhai Ocean Science Park, there is also a privately contracted shower equipment. The reporter saw that there were five independent shower rooms in the shower room, equipped with water heaters, air conditioners and other equipment. Ms. Chen, the administrator, said: "The price of washing is 10 yuan, an adult and a child in 15 yuan. People often come here to take a shower after swimming on holidays."

　　Wuyuanwan beach

　　Demand exceeds supply. Tourists huddle in front of the sink.

　　There are several public toilets around Wuyuan Bay Beach. The reporter found that, like two or three years ago, these public toilets were still not equipped with flushing equipment, and some green belt water pipes that had been used by tourists for flushing were also blocked.

　　The public toilet B064 is the closest to the beach, between the beach and the parking lot, between the footbridge and the bus stop, with a superior geographical position, and there are many citizens and tourists coming in and out. There is not much space in this public toilet, and there is only a sink. In order to use water, tourists huddle together. There is a sign standing beside it, which says: Please don’t wash your feet in the sink. Someone turned a blind eye and still put his feet in the sink to wash. Some people are more gentle and use mineral water bottles to catch water and wash their feet, but the ground is covered with sand and water.

　　Mr. Chen, a citizen, often exercises nearby. He said that this public toilet has a good location and receives hundreds of people almost every day. It is estimated that there are thousands of people on weekends. "Some people even carry their children to the table for cleaning, and the sediment rushes into the pool, which is easy to cause blockage, and the ground is often dirty."

　　Master Wang, the administrator, said: "Even if you keep mopping the floor, you can’t keep up with the speed of dirt. I hope to set up a foot bath as soon as possible, otherwise this situation will be difficult to improve. "

　　Binhai romantic line

　　Well-equipped, washing feet, showering and changing clothes are not a problem

　　The coastal romantic line around the East China Sea has been popular among citizens and tourists in recent years. Walking all the way along the seaside, the reporter found that you can find a public toilet every few hundred meters here. Some public toilets use gender-free toilet seats, some are single-family rooms, and the design is quite innovative. Some toilets are also equipped with spraying equipment. Because of the large area of a single room, it is not a problem to simply shower and change clothes. There are foot-washing pools and hand-washing pools outside the toilet, so visitors can get what they need.

　　Mr. Wu, a citizen, said: "The facilities of Binhai Romantic Line are complete, but there is still a lack of washing facilities at the seaside from Jimei Qiaotou to Langhua Gate of Romantic Line, hoping to increase the construction."

　　Rainbow Beach on the Romantic Line of Binhai is one of the popular places to visit. When the reporter came here in the evening, the beach was full of people playing with the sea. The reporter noticed that in this area, in addition to the public toilets, there is a foot bath pool. In addition, there is a foot bath pool every two or three hundred meters between the two public toilets, and there is also a direct water dispenser next to the foot bath pool. According to the reporter’s observation, the foot bath pool and the public toilet cooperate with each other, which relieves the dense flow of people on the beach and reduces the pressure on the public toilet.

　　[Reminder]

　　Orderly queuing and civilized flushing

　　The administrator of Wuyuanwan shower facilities told the reporter that the quality of citizens and tourists who use washing equipment has improved a lot compared with the past, and some people are not very civilized. It is hoped that citizens and tourists will be able to do civilized washing and orderly queuing when using washing facilities; Turn off the faucet in time after use to reduce the waste of water resources; Turn down the water flow to avoid splashing on others; Take good care of the facilities.
