As the saying goes, “Whatever you eat will replenish what you eat.” So there is a saying that eating fish eyes can improve eyesight, drinking bone soup can replenish calcium, and eating pig liver can replenish liver…” Is the saying “shape complements shape” reliable?

The part of the human eye that perceives light to form vision is the retina. There are two types of cells in the retina, cone cells and visual cells. Rod cells, the former senses vision under bright light (strong light), the latter senses vision under dark light (weak light), rod cells have an internal photoreceptor called rhodopsin, and one of the raw materials for rhodopsin is A metabolite of vitamin A, so vitamin A deficiency can lead to decreased dark adaptation and even night blindness. Fish eyes are not a good source of vitamin A supplementation. Therefore, eating fish eyes can improve eyesight, which is purely a rumor!
Drinking bone broth can supplement calcium. Nutritious and delicious. Many people try to drink bone broth to achieve the purpose of calcium supplementation. The reality is that the calcium content in bone broth is only 11mg/l, which is a little more than tap water, and the absorption rate is also low. For the vast majority of healthy people with normal digestive function, eating meat requires far more protein than drinking soup. In addition to drinking soup without meat, it is not only a great waste, but also easy to make you fat. , get fat, get fat.
Eat the liver to nourish the liver? For friends who have some health problems with the liver, eating pig liver to nourish and protect the liver will not only fail to achieve the goal, but may increase the burden on the liver. Because when people eat pork liver, the stomach will digest and decompose it, and then it will be absorbed by the intestines. Therefore, eating pig liver will not directly act on the liver in the human body, and there is no way to talk about nourishing the liver. If you want to “replenish” the liver, it is better to choose a high-quality protein, low-fat diet.
“Fixing the form with the form” still depends on the food, and it depends on the person. Whether it is effective or not depends not on the shape of the food, but on the composition of the food.
