Live broadcast: I am an upright Chinese medicine practitioner, and all my patients died online

"She doesn't usually like to eat, and she only eats unhealthy snacks. But recently, I don't know what happened. She suddenly doesn't like snacks anymore and starts to like regular meals."

"We were quite happy at first and thought the child had finally grown up, but we soon discovered something was wrong."

"No matter what dishes we have at home, she likes them now and is not picky about food anymore. But the key is that she eats a lot. In the past, we would have leftovers at home, but since she has developed an appetite, there are no leftovers at home anymore."

When Tang Rou said this, she looked very worried.

Only people who have been parents would understand why Tang Rou was so worried.

Many parents think that children’s picky eating is a big problem, so most parents worry about their children’s malnutrition and cook a variety of dishes for their children in different ways.

But in fact, a big part of the reason why children are picky eaters is because they really don’t need that much nutrition.

This may sound counterintuitive and even unscientific.

But that's what it is.

Just like a dog will go looking for herbs to eat when it is sick, if a person's body lacks something, he or she will instinctively eat something to supplement the missing nutrients.

This is why most children don’t like to eat bitter melon, but when they grow up they praise it.

That’s because children don’t have any internal heat in their bodies, so they don’t need to eat bitter melon to clear heat, and naturally they don’t think bitter melon is delicious.

But adults have been under various pressures of life and study for so many years, staying up late, working overtime, and eating midnight snacks, and the toxins and internal heat in their bodies are too heavy. Therefore, they feel refreshed and relaxed after eating bitter melon.

Therefore, it is normal for children to be picky about food when they are young.

For people like Xu Yan, who are not picky about food and eat everything, there is real problem with her body.

After hearing Qin Jiang's explanation, the netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly understood.

“No wonder I always thought some things tasted terrible when I was a kid, but when I grew up, I thought they tasted super good.”

"Damn it, I eat exactly what Doctor Qin said. I eat whatever I want and never eat anything I don't want. As a result, I'm in my early thirties now and I've never had any symptoms of malnutrition."

"My parents said I was a picky eater when I was little, but after I started working, I basically liked to eat anything as long as it wasn't something that could kill people. I thought I was sick."

"It turns out that children today are no longer malnourished as before, but are seriously overnourished. Just look at the snacks they eat every day and you will see that even those snacks are nutritious."

People in the past always talked about junk food, but in fact, many of the snacks we eat now are really nutritious.

The most obvious of these are various beverages.

In the past, beverages had flavors and pigments added to them, but now beverages are all electrolyte water, mineral water, and vitamin water.

It can be said that if you drink a bottle of beverage every day, your body will get the nutrients and trace elements it needs for the day.

This would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

Qin Jiang looked at Xu Yan and asked, "Little friend, can you tell me why you suddenly don't like snacks?"

Xu Yan said without hesitation: "Because the snacks are not tasty."

"For example, my favorite food before was shredded squid, but I found that fake shredded squid is not as delicious as real shredded squid. There are also various teppanyaki squid and barbecued squid, which are much better than snacks." "And spicy strips and so on, but they are not as delicious as spicy beef jerky. The taste is completely different. I think what I ate before was junk food."

Qin Jiang was stunned when he heard Xu Yan's words.

Because what this little girl said makes a lot of sense!

The biggest advantage of so-called snacks is not that they are delicious, but that they are convenient.

When you want to eat it, you can just tear open the package and eat it directly, that's why so many people like to eat snacks.

But if you can cook for yourself, or if someone in your family cooks delicious food and you have food to eat anytime and anywhere, then who would want to eat snacks?

Many people quit eating snacks when they grow up because they have learned to cook simpler and more convenient dishes, such as making their own spicy beef jerky.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also started discussing it.

"This little girl is quite smart. She hits the nail on the head. Haha."

"Ever since I found a great Sichuan restaurant downstairs from my house, I have never gone there to eat snacks. I can only say that snacks are not up to par compared to real stir-fried dishes."

"Seafood is cheap here, and it's very simple to prepare. So you know, snacks don't sell well here. No one buys snacks like dried fish here, because every household can make them."

Qin Jiang then asked, "Although meals are better than snacks, they should be eaten in moderation. Don't you feel full when you usually eat these meals?"

Xu Yan answered very honestly: "It does feel that way, but I just need to rest for a while. I see that those anchors on the Internet are all like this. They can eat a lot of things, and I think I can be the same as them."

Case solved.

It turns out that Xu Yan suddenly started eating so much because she learned it from watching those food bloggers on the Internet.

Many people don’t understand why eating broadcasts exist.

After all, those eating shows don’t require any skills. They just have to point the camera and eat in front of you.

But in fact, the rise of food broadcasting is inevitable.

Facts have proved that things that can bring people satisfaction can also bring people pleasure.

Why do so many people like to watch disaster movies?
That's because they are now in a safe environment, so when watching disaster movies, their bodies will constantly remind them that they are now in a safe environment.

Such reminders are what we call a sense of security.

When the sense of security is satisfied, pleasure will be achieved.

Similarly, people who like to watch food broadcasts actually just like to see scenes with plenty of food.

After all, food streamers eat so happily and with such a good appetite, the physical feedback they give to the viewers is that we have no shortage of food and can eat whatever we want.

Therefore, this kind of satisfaction can easily be transformed into pleasure.

This is why eating broadcasts are so popular. It’s all psychological. (End of this chapter)
