Live Wilderness Adventure - Chapter 661

Why eating staple food will reduce the demand for vitamin C, in fact, we have to start with a “slag receptor”.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and is required for collagen formation.

Collagen is the main component of connective tissue in the body, which is essential for the structure and support of the body, including blood vessels.

Therefore, when there is a lack of vitamin C, as long as there is a little pressure outside, the blood may seep out of the blood vessel wall, causing bleeding, which is scurvy.

Once you have scurvy, you may experience bleeding gums, loose teeth, hard-to-heal wounds, and joint pain.

Strong sacrifice read sacrifice. The absorption of glucose and vitamin C actually has a “competitive relationship”.

In the 1990s, Professor Emeritus of the University of Washington, John T., proposed his glucose-ascorbic acid antagonism, or GAA theory, which states that elevated glucose levels in the body prevent vitamin C from entering cells to function.

That’s because glucose and vitamin C have similar chemical compositions, and they enter cells through the same “Glut-1 receptor.”

The Glut-1 receptor prefers glucose over vitamin C, which means it will choose sugar over vitamin C when given the chance to “compete”.

Bi Fang explained the big pass, and finally changed it to a popular saying: “In other words, this receptor is very vain, and if there is a good one, it will almost kick it away.”

[Understood, scum acceptor! 】

[Facts aside, is there nothing wrong with vitamin C? 】

【It’s just a taste! 】

The main source of glucose is carbohydrates, so without consuming carbohydrates, the demand for vitamin C is naturally not high. The reason why seafarers are prone to scurvy is because they eat too much brown bread.

Thinking of this, Bi Fang nibbled at another piece of fish meat, sipped it, and spat out a fishbone.

Bi Fang has long forgotten what the turf tastes like. It was taken out of the memory palace, frozen with liquid nitrogen, blasted with a flamethrower, and turned into sieve powder.

That thing is really a pure painful memory. The earthy smell is mixed with the dry hay smell, and it has a taste like ice ballast. It is far less delicious than the fat oil now. Work.

Compared with seafood, river fresh has an extra muddy smell, especially if it is eaten raw, but in Bi Fang’s mouth at this time, it has also become an extremely rare delicacy.

At least it’s much better than the traditional Inuit delicacy, kwiak.

Thinking of this, Bi Fang added again.

“Actually, what I described just now is not completely accurate. Inuit people don’t eat all raw meat, but more of a kind of cooked raw meat, that is, naturally fermented food without any processing, called kiwiak, That’s ‘Pickled Puffin’.”

“Because of the lack of expensive food, especially the lack of vitamin sources such as green vegetables, high-latitude ethnic groups basically have a similar custom of eating raw meat. On the one hand, fuel is expensive, and on the other hand, they are supplemented with vitamins, but raw meat is inconvenient to store. Yes, especially in summer, so more of them still eat raw fermented meat.”

For the Inuit, living in Greenland is actually not an easy task, otherwise it would not have been frozen to death in an igloo.

Therefore, every spring and summer, they will go out to hunt and collect food that can survive the whole winter. This is a necessary process. If they cannot do this, they will most likely freeze to death in winter.

No one will come to help you, because most people are struggling to maintain their own survival. They are not unwilling, but have no spare capacity to help. Even if they have spare capacity, how long can they help?

Greenland is icy and snowy, which is really good for food preservation, but in summer, the temperature can reach above zero, and it will be fine if you leave it for a week.

Fermentation and decay are two different things. The former is a process by which beneficial bacteria utilize organic matter, which is beneficial to the human body and even more nutritious when eaten, while the latter is a process by which harmful bacteria multiply and cannot be eaten.

“For example, the well-known traditional Swedish food canned herring is made from lightly rotten and fermented herring.”

“The Inuit kiwiak is a bit more rugged. This kind of food preparation method is very complicated and takes a long time to complete, at least not in my 100 days of existence. ”

“The production method of this kind of food is simply that the body of the sea swallow is not treated. No plucking, no viscera, it is directly put into the seal’s body, soaked in the seal’s gastric juice, and then sutured before using the seal’s body. Grease seal.”

“Then the seals are buried in the permafrost, fermented for 2 to 3 years, and then the seals are dug up, then the stomach is cut open, the seabirds are taken out, and they can be eaten directly.”

In terms of production methods, it is actually still raw meat, because it has not been roasted at any high temperature, and the protein itself is not denatured.

“Because the feathers don’t ferment, they will keep the original shape of the seabird, and you can’t even see any changes. You can imagine what the cost of that kind of food looks like.

[Fuck, this is what people eat? 】

[Too hard.

】

[I bought canned herring once, the taste is unforgettable to this day]

Seeing a kind of mourning in the barrage in the live broadcast room, UU reading www. uukanshu. com Bi Fang smiled.

“There are actually two ways to eat it. The first is to pull out the bird’s tail, **** it from the seabird’s moon gate with its mouth, and **** out the fermented and rotten internal organs. I heard that it has a taste similar to bran and natto. And the taste of the fermented mixture put together.”

“The second way to eat is to smear the contents of the bird’s belly on the barbecue.”

This time 17BXwX.*com Zhang Si. With the development of human history, the custom of cooking meat to eat has taken root among the Inuit, and there is also a source of fresh vegetables, the opportunity to obtain vitamins from raw meat is reduced, and they put pickled puffins. Serve as a seasoning spread on grilled meats.

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

I thought that canned herring was invincible in the world, but I didn’t expect that there is more food than it?

Eating is even more raw!

[Do not deal with it, it means there is feces.

】

【The intestines of birds are different from other animals, you can pull them when you have them, it should be fine】

[It’s too heavy, I already want to vomit]

Make a big tyrant. [I happen to be eating too, woohoohoo]

It’s hard for water friends to believe that humans eat this food, but for the Inuit, it’s a rare delicacy that provides them with vitamins that are desperately needed in the Arctic.

This is a forced adaptation of human beings to the living environment, and it is impossible to expect how delicious it is.

Bi Fang had never tasted canned herring, but the taste was definitely not good, and he did not dare to try it lightly.

His sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people, and he was afraid that he might smoke it if he smelled it.
