　　Beijing, March 1 (Reporter Qiu Yu) The Lantern Festival is the first important festival after the Spring Festival. People enjoy lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns, and of course, they eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.

　　Some people like to make homemade Yuanxiao or glutinous rice balls, eat them fresh, and have more choices in the taste of stuffing. So, how is Yuanxiao made? What’s the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan?

　　How is Yuanxiao made?

　　On February 27th, Master Yu Bojun of Daoxiang Village in Beijing showed the process of shaking Yuanxiao in a sales department.

　　When making Yuanxiao, you should first make the stuffing, dip it in water, and then throw it into a basket full of glutinous rice flour and shake it. Then dip it in water, continue to roll the glutinous rice flour, and repeat it many times to make it gradually round and bigger.

　　"In the process of shaking, let the Yuanxiao fully collide, so that the glutinous rice flour can stick more firmly. The whole process takes about 15 minutes when making by hand, and the weight of each Yuanxiao is about 25 grams." Yu Bojun said.

　　According to him, the glutinous rice flour used to shake Yuanxiao is made of stone grinding technology, which can retain the nutrients and natural fragrance of glutinous rice to the maximum extent. The glutinous rice dumplings shaken out have high viscosity and are soft and strong to eat.

　　Homemade dumplings and sweet dumplings are favored.

　　Yu Bojun’s live show attracted many Beijing residents to watch.

　　"Now shake Yuanxiao see less and less. This kind of Lantern Festival is fresh. I want to buy some and try it to see if it has an old flavor. " A woman in her fifties and sixties said.

　　This Lantern Festival, everyone’s enthusiasm for making Yuanxiao and Tangyuan is not low. According to the data provided by JD.COM to the reporter of Zhongxin. com, the sales amount of glutinous rice flour increased by more than 80% in the early period of Lantern Festival.

　　The data shows that young and middle-aged people and female users prefer homemade Yuanxiao and glutinous rice balls, and the consumption of glutinous rice flour accounts for a high proportion. Specifically, the consumption amount of female consumers accounts for 69%, and the consumption amount of the 26-45 age group accounts for 77%.

　　New tastes are more popular with young people.

　　The tastes of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are getting richer and richer. The reporter visited a number of supermarkets in Xicheng District of Beijing and found that in addition to traditional fillings such as red bean paste and black sesame, new flavors such as roses, blueberries and chocolate are not uncommon.

　　"Most of the people who buy new flavors of Yuanxiao or Tangyuan are young people. From the perspective of sales, traditional tastes still dominate." A supermarket staff member said.

　　What’s the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan?

　　China is known as "Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south". What’s the difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan?

　　Guo Yaping, deputy director of the food factory of Beijing Daoxiangcun Food Co., Ltd., told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the production technology of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan is different. Yuanxiao is "shaken" and Tangyuan is "wrapped".

　　They also have different appearances. After the Lantern Festival is cooked, there will be a "velvet head" on the surface, that is, there will be floating powder on the surface. When the rice flour is cooked in the pot, the soup will be milky white. Yuanxiao expands rapidly after cooking, and its size is bigger than glutinous rice balls. The dumpling skin is made of dry glutinous rice flour and water into dough, and then wrapped with stuffing, which has better cohesion, smoother surface and clear boiled soup.

　　In addition, from the taste point of view, Yuanxiao is more biting and has a prominent glutinous rice noodle flavor; Tangyuan is tender, smooth and soft, and the smell of glutinous rice is not obvious. (End)

Lao Li is 65 years old this year. Since his retirement, his life has been very comfortable and his diet is healthy. But in his wife’s view, he has a very bad habit-that is, he doesn’t like sports.

Every time my wife wants to drag him to do morning exercises, she will be pushed off by him in every way. One minute, she says, "Life lies in rest. What if I get injured in sports?" Another minute, she says, "Look at the tortoise crawling so slowly, but its life span is so long." My wife is very helpless about this.

Is the exercise for the elderly good or not? Does life lie in exercise or rest?

A new study published by the School of Public Health of Harvard University in the United States in the American Heart Association analyzes two large-scale prospective studies, involving the mortality poems and medical records of 100,000 adults, and has been followed up for 30 years. The final result found that:

• Do 2-4 times the recommended amount of exercise per week, with the lowest risk of death.;
• 15-300 minutes of strenuous exercise every week can reduce the risk of death by 21%-23%;
• 300-600 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week can reduce the risk of death by 26-31%.

Besides, persisting in exercise can not only reduce the risk of death and prolong life, but also play an anti-cancer role.

A study published in the National Journal of Cancer in 2022 found that when individuals persist in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise several times a week, more anticancer molecules can be released in the body, which can inhibit abnormal cells, promote DNA repair and have a positive effect on inhibiting the occurrence of cancer.

Recently, the video of an 80-year-old teacher on the Internet who is still playing basketball flexibly in colleges and universities was praised. Many netizens said that it would be nice if they were still so flexible when they were 80 …

When people are old, there is always a feeling that they are unable to do their job. Their athletic ability will weaken with age, and it may even be related to the speed of life decline.

A research team led by French scholar Benjamin Landray, published in the British Medical Journal, shows that,Once a person is over 65 years old, his athletic ability will get worse and worse.Subsequently, the risk of death has also increased, and from the first 10 years of death, there will be signs of decline in sports ability.

Judging whether a person is aging generally includes four sports indicators, namely:

Walking speedIf the walking speed of the elderly is lower than 0.6 m/s, the risk of death will increase;

Grip strengthThe risk of death from cardiovascular disease will increase by 17% for every 5 kg drop in grip strength;

Standing ability: The elderly have difficulty in standing, which indicates that the muscle decline is serious;

daily life: daily activities such as dressing, cooking and going to the toilet are limited, indicating that muscle mass is decreasing sharply.

Some middle-aged and elderly people may think that "rest is better than exercise" when they get old. Is this really the case? Many studies have found that after the age of 60, the elderly who insist on exercising can reap the following benefits:

1. Reduce the risk of dementia

A team of Ding Qian, a neurologist at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, has conducted a study on the relationship between physical exercise and dementia risk in conjunction with multi-country and multi-research teams.

The results show that people who exercise for 3.1-6.0 hours/week have a 38% lower risk of dementia than those who don’t exercise.

2. Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

A large-scale study of more than 1 million people in South Korea found that with the increase of age, the risk of cardiovascular disease decreased by 11%. That is, maintaining moderate exercise can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.

3. Increase bone density

According to some surveys, elderly people who play Tai Chi for a long time have a lower risk of suffering from spinal osteoporosis than those who don’t exercise much.

Regular exercise can improve bone blood circulation, enhance substance metabolism, prevent muscle atrophy, and help the elderly to prevent arthritis.

4, improve the digestion and absorption function

The digestive function of the elderly is weakened, and if the exercise is insufficient, the appetite will become very little, leading to a vicious circle of difficulty in digestion and absorption.

Moderate exercise can consume excess calories, stimulate the body to "get hungry", and at the same time promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve digestion and absorption function.

The benefits of exercise are self-evident, but not all exercises are suitable for the elderly. Some excessive and intense exercises will damage the cardiovascular system or joints. So what kind of exercise is most suitable for middle-aged and elderly people?

• "The best sport in the world": walking

Academician Zhong Nanshan once said that walking is the best sport in the world. A set of data from the World Health Organization is also, that is,Walking for more than 4 hours a week for the elderly can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases by 69%..

For the elderly, various functions of the body decline, and walking exercise is suitable for most people. China Dietary Guidelines also recommend that it is more appropriate to walk more than 6,000 steps a day.

Don’t walk too much for patients with obesity and arthritis and weak physical fitness.Keep proper walking exercise.

matters need attentionThe elderly should not exercise for more than one hour. Because of the weakening of body balance, it is best to avoid walking sideways, backwards and slopes during exercise.

• "the most life-prolonging sport": playing ball

A study published by the National Cancer Institute in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity found that,The sport that can help middle-aged and elderly people live longer is playing ball..

When playing ball, it is not only a simple swing, but also mobilizes the muscles of the whole body; When chasing the ball, you need strength such as legs and cervical vertebrae; When watching the ball, you will also exercise your eyesight, and running and jumping will also help you lose fat, and whether it is singles or doubles, it will give people a sense of participation and enhance communication.

matters need attentionBefore playing ball, you should be prepared to exercise and stretch the heel, ankle and other easily injured parts. Playing ball for too little time is easy to cause arthritis. Therefore, pay attention to controlling time and stretching and relaxing joints after exercise.

No matter what kind of exercise, as long as you move, it is better than lying and sitting. For middle-aged and elderly people, it is necessary to pay more attention to weekly exercise and choose appropriate, moderate and timely exercise to prolong life.

After the semi-finals of the Champions League and the European Union ended, the five major leagues continued to play. In several games last night, the major European giants played one after another, some fought for the league title, while others struggled for their higher rankings. At present, the La Liga champions and Serie A champions have been released one after another. Although the Ligue 1 league is pending, Paris Saint-Germain has a huge lead, and the league champion has long been in the bag. In this round of competitions, the biggest attraction is the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

At 0: 30am on May 21st, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Arsenal, ranked second in the standings, took the lead in playing against the relegation team Nottingham Forest. Since the last fiasco in Brighton, Arsenal, which once held a huge lead, basically bid farewell to the Premier League title. Originally, everyone thought that the Premier League title would not be won until Manchester City beat Chelsea. However, this morning, Arsenal unexpectedly lost to Nottingham Forest away from home and watched Manchester City win the championship ahead of schedule.

During the match, Arsenal players completely lost their enthusiasm at the beginning of the season. It can be seen that in the last month, the team has been unable to win for a long time, and there is a huge gap in the mentality of the players. The on-the-spot performance can be described as a disaster. The most typical manifestation is Odegard’s return error, and the other side accepted the gift and scored the only goal in the whole game. For Manchester City, winning the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule can help the players relax for the time being, which is too important for preparing for the Champions League final. At the same time, Manchester City is getting closer and closer to the triple crown.

In the other match, Bayern Munich played against Leipzig Red Bull, the German Bundesliga rival. In the two remaining leagues, Bayern can only win the Bundesliga championship with a total victory, while Leipzig Red Bull ranks third in the league and has strong strength, which is a rather difficult bone to chew. Facts have proved that Leipzig is really strong, and Dortmund’s close pursuit behind him also created a lot of pressure on Bayern. Gnabry scored a goal first, but Leipzig broke out suddenly in the second half, and scored three goals in 25 minutes, directly beating Bayern.

Now, the biggest pressure is tuchel. Since he took office, Bayern has successively lost from the German Cup and the Champions League. Now there is only one Bundesliga champion to compete for. However, after losing this round, Bayern is only one point ahead of Dortmund in the case of one more game, and Dortmund’s next two opponents are Mainz and augsburg. From the paper strength, Dortmund won the last two. It seems that this season’s Bundesliga champion should be in the last place.

The last loser was Barcelona. Although it won the La Liga championship, before the start of this game, Barcelona held a short championship celebration ceremony. Veteran busquets gave a farewell speech in front of tens of thousands of home fans, and the main striker lewandowski started to play. I thought that Barcelona would pay special attention to this game so that busquets’s farewell battle could come to a successful conclusion. However, after winning the championship in advance, the players obviously didn’t want to do their best, and eventually lost to the royal society 1-2.
