3. It is not suitable for overweight and obese people.

4. It is not suitable for people with acne muscle. Because of the high glycemic index, high GI will promote the formation of acne. It is recommended to choose sugar if necessary.

Cheng Hanyu cautioned: since 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that sugar intake should be less than 10% of the total daily calorie intake, but added a "further warning" that if sugar intake could be less than 5%, it would be more beneficial to health.

Second, cream

Main nutrients: fat / calories.

Advantages: provide mellow and rich feeling.

Disadvantages: saturated fat (coconut oil or palm oil), some contain trans fat, spices, it is recommended to choose no trans fat.

Third, fresh milk

Main nutrients: vitamin B6, B12, calcium.

Advantages: add flavor and reduce caffeine intake.

Disadvantages:

4. Soybean milk

Main nutrients: soybean isoflavones.

Advantages: low fat, zero cholesterol, no lactose, reduced caffeine intake.

Main nutrients: sugar / a little iron.

Advantages: provide sweetness and flavor, suitable for women to eat during menstruation.

Disadvantages: it is also regulated that "sugar intake should be less than 10% of the total daily calorie intake", and should not be added endlessly just because it is brown sugar.

Main nutrients: saturated oil (saturated oil up to 90%).

Advantages: provide mellow and strong feeling and special coconut flavor.

For those with poor liver function, do not try; if you have biliary and pancreatic diseases, you can consult a dietitian and use it appropriately.

7. Cinnamon

But cocoa contains an methylxanthine ingredient, which has been shown to cause relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, which may lead to gastroesophageal reflux.

Cheng Hanyu teaches you a simple way to identify true and false honey: pour the honey into a Porter bottle and shake it. If the foam is meticulous, not easy to fade, and shows a turbid shape, the purity will be higher. If you buy honey, you should recognize the "domestic Bee Product Certificate Mark" verified by the Taiwan Beekeeping Association.

Ten. Wine

Main nutrients: calories. The wine you may use is whisky or brandy.

Advantages: enhance flavor and aroma, make coffee stronger, refreshing and refreshing.

4. Excessive drinking has been identified as a pathogenic factor for colorectal cancer, breast cancer, laryngeal cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, oral cancer and throat cancer. The more alcohol consumed, the greater the risk.

Cheng Hanyu exhorts: "Wine and coffee" can protect against the cold in cold climates, but it should be noted that spirits intake is recommended, with no more than 80cc for men and no more than 40cc for women.
