Since the corona crisis, interest in healthy diets is growing as the number of ‘confirmed people’ increases due to a sharp drop in activity and refrain from going out. The food that draws attention to these dieters (people who are on a diet) is ‘minus calorie food’.

Negative calorie foods are foods that do not significantly affect body fat gain. In other words, the calories of the food itself are small, and the calories lost in the digestion process are large, so there are no calories left in the body.

Most vegetables and some fruits are negative calorie foods. Typical negative calorie foods include broccoli, cucumbers, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, and grapefruit.

Negative calorie foods are helpful in diet control. Cabbage, celery, broccoli, etc. are made up of dietary fiber, so they are low in calories absorbed and high in water. In particular, in the case of cucumber, it is about 9 kcal, and 95% is water, so you can supplement the body water that is lacking during exercise.

Seok Ye-rin (24, Nam-gu, Busan), who has a lot of interest in diet, said, “I became more interested in health after the corona,” and said, “I have eaten negative calorie foods for a healthy diet.” Okseol-i (22, Sasang-gu, Busan), a college student, also said, “Cucumber or salad is plain and delicious and seems to give the body freshness.”

Mr. Oksul-i said, “I know that negative calorie foods are high in dietary fiber and vitamins.” At the same time, he said, “I hope that there will be more foods with minus calorie foods as the main ingredient, as I am more interested in dieting and dressing lighter due to the weather these days.” Seok Ye-rin also added, “If I consistently consume negative calorie foods, I can feel good changes coming to my body.”

However, eating only negative calorie foods is not always good. An official from Pukyong National University’s student cafeteria said, “If we continue to consume only broccoli, we may have enough vitamins, but protein may be insufficient.” No nutritional intake So it doesn’t meet the needs of the body,” he said. Since the recommended daily intake for the general public is approximately 1500 kcal to as much as 2000 kcal, it must be consumed in combination with other foods. Negative calorie foods are best consumed only at a supplemental level before a normal meal. An official from Pukyong National University’s student cafeteria said, “It is best to eat foods that are equally rich in the five nutrients, including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.” there is,” he said.
