Chapter 133 0132 Eating Salt Makes You Stronger?

Looking at the new skills triggered on the panel, Chen Jue was slightly startled.

But when I thought about it, I realized that [skating] was a skill that humans have mastered in order to survive in extremely cold weather, and I was instantly relieved.

Because people all over the world have the same habit of gliding in the ice and snow on sleds and ice skates to chase prey.

In the northeastern part of China, there are many people in remote areas who use the method of "skating" to dig holes in the river to fish, such as the famous Chagan Lake fishing, etc., which I have seen in the documentary on the tip of my tongue before. image.

I didn't expect that even if I just slid on the thin ice, it would be recorded on the panel.

"This skill should be of great use!"

"It's a pity that there are no venue conditions here in Hangzhou. If you want to skate, you can only go to the artificial snow resort to improve your proficiency." Chen Jue touched his chin and thought to himself.

Because according to the sports information sent by teacher Li Rui, skating and skiing can greatly improve the body's coordination and balance abilities.

However, due to environmental factors, Li Rui only included information related to ice sports and did not include it in Chen Jue's daily training.

…

After stepping on the ice a few times with Wu Fang by the lake, they gained a moment of childlike fun and joy, and then they began to do morning exercises separately.

Chen Jue practiced his bow skills by the lake as usual, and also practiced horse stance skills to improve his attributes.

He found that in sub-zero temperatures, the body's desire to generate heat became very fast, and even the levator anus to stimulate pore contraction during the Zama Step was much easier than usual.

It seems that it is stimulated by environmental factors, and the human body naturally forms a stress response to low temperatures.

Under this temperature condition, the pores of the skin are originally in a tight and contracted state to prevent heat from being lost to the outside and causing hypothermia, which is equivalent to putting a safety lock on the body temperature.

On this basis, and then performing high-intensity arching exercises, Chen Jue accumulated much more heat in his body than usual.

After simply firing the hard bow dozens of times, Chen Jue found that his body was burning hot, and even the hands holding the bow turned a red color that was not there before. It was obvious that the blood flow accelerated and began to accumulate in the hands that exerted force.

After practicing for half an hour, the strength attribute of 0.01 was displayed on the panel, and the proficiency of horse steps and pile skills was once again increased by more than +200. Chen Jue then let out a "whoop~" and took a long breath toward the lake.

The white water vapor spit out from his mouth, turned into a white arrow, and sprayed out two meters away.

When the bowstring in his hand was loosened, the tailbone he was holding dropped, his pores opened, and a stream of white sweat steamed from Chen Jue's body through his thick coat.

Wu Fang, who was practicing rope dart at the side, was also stunned when she saw this. She tried to blow off the hot steam by herself. She found that she couldn't blow the steam out like Chen Jue, and the steam could stay within 1 meter at most. It became a ball of air.

After trying too many times, my eyes became dizzy. It was obvious that I had vented too much air and my head was short of oxygen.

"Exhale into arrows?"

"What a strong lung capacity!"

"I don't know how powerful Brother Jue is now. He can shoot such a high-pound bow at will. He should be able to take down several of me easily, right?" Wu Fang muttered in her heart.

She felt that her vision of people was absolutely right. In addition, Chen Jue had just finished his strength training and was steaming with steam all over his body. He exuded a masculine temperament, which made Wu Fang a little more looking forward to the weekend date.

…

After the morning exercise, the two left the park talking and laughing. This time Wu Fang did not refuse and went with Chen Jue to have breakfast at a breakfast shop in the neighboring community.

They were all old neighbors, and the proprietress of the breakfast stall recognized Wu Fang as soon as she appeared.

"Hey! Teacher Xiao Wu, are you in love?"

"The sun is really coming out in the west!"

"Going out for breakfast with your boyfriend?"

"Your boyfriend is so handsome!"

The proprietresses of low-end merchants outside the community are very enthusiastic. They don’t have any big news every day and they just like to chat about their family and family affairs. In addition, they are all regular customers. Wu Fang blushed with just a few words and her voice was like a mosquito. I ordered a few of my favorite dishes and found a corner seat to sit down.

When Chen Jue saw this, he also smiled cheerfully at the proprietress, and praised her wildly in his heart: "These old aunties still have good sense!", then ordered food and scanned the QR code, and sat down with Teacher Wu to have a delicious morning meal.

…

Because she was too shallow-skinned, and most of the people who came to eat at this breakfast restaurant were acquaintances, Wu Fang immersed herself in finishing her meal quickly and went home.

Chen Jue saw her embarrassed look and didn't say anything to send her off.

It was just a matter of going out to have breakfast together. If a student accidentally saw him walking to Wu Fang's high school where he worked, the whole school would be excited.

"Teacher Wu's conditions are so good. It's indeed a high achievement for me to pursue her. I have to keep working hard!" Chen Jue sighed in his heart.

I drove back to the apartment, packed up my teaching materials, and went to attend the class.

There was a clinical medicine physiology course in the morning, taught by a young teaching assistant.

The content of the lecture is the contractile function of muscle cells. Four key points of knowledge are mentioned in the class: first, the excitation transmission at the junction of nerves and muscles; second, the excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscles; third, the contraction mechanism of skeletal muscles and Contractile efficiency of four skeletal muscles and influencing factors.

Although these knowledge points are very hard-core, the actual breakdown is to use simple scientific basis to analyze the working principle of muscle cells.

Skeletal muscle is the largest tissue in the human body, accounting for about 40% of body weight, so it will be focused on for analysis.

"Different muscle tissues have their own characteristics in terms of function and structure, but from a molecular level, various contractile activities of muscle cells are related to the interaction of contractile proteins contained in the cells, mainly myosin and myofibrillin. .”

"No wonder muscle builders are clamoring for protein supplements! The real core principle of muscle building is still related to the composition and operating mechanism of muscle cells." Chen Jue analyzed in his heart.

I took a lot of notes after the class and felt that I had gained a lot.

I originally planned to attend the next clinical medicine class, but when I turned to a large classroom, I accidentally overheard a few students passing by discussing: "Senior Zhou Chuan is really awesome! How dare he show up in class?" Blatantly questioning the content of Teacher Xia’s lectures.”

"Is this the first time he has criticized Teacher Xia?"

"It seems to be the fourth time. I don't know what kind of grudge the two have."

"Do you think it's possible that Senior Zhou Chuan has a crush on Teacher Xia and wants to impress Goddess Xia in this way?"

"Damn it! This idea seems to make sense!"

"Studying epilepsy is indeed learning epilepsy. To pursue the goddess, you have to take an unusual path. Others are retreating in order to advance. Senior Zhou is planning to force others to come forward. In this way, he will leave a psychological shadow on goddess Xia!"

Listening to the students' discussion, Chen Jue also looked curiously into the large classroom.

Sure enough, Xia Xue, who had just finished class, was walking out of the classroom with a small bag and an ugly face. When she passed the door and saw Chen Jue, the tenant, she glared at him angrily, and then walked away in high heels.

As for Zhou Chuan, he walked up to the podium slowly like a normal person, plugged in his USB flash drive and started playing with the courseware.

"Students, the next session is my project research report sharing session. Professional teachers will come to judge."

"If students are interested, you can sit down and listen." Zhou Chuan picked up the microphone and said.

There was a sudden commotion in the classroom that was about to leave. Many students who were about to leave looked at each other and began to return to their seats to listen to the research report of this Jiang University student.

As for the title of the topic published on the projection board, it is called "On the Differential Impact of Regional Eating Habits on Physical Fitness."

Chen Jue took a look and became interested. After entering through the back door of the large classroom, he found a seat near the back and sat down.

He now has excellent eyesight and can see clearly even if he sits farther away.

…

The break lasted about 10 minutes. During this period, teachers and professors who were familiar to Chen Jue came in and sat in the front row.

When the alarm bell rang, Zhou Chuan bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you to the students and teachers for their support and trust. In this class, I will share with you some of my recent research topics."

"We all know that dietary habits can have numerous unexpected effects on our bodies."

“In clinical medicine specialties like ours, we often encounter typical regional diseases.”

"For example, in places where people like to eat spicy food, anorectal and gastroenterology departments are generally popular. In the Guangfo area where people eat raw and hot food, diseases such as esophageal cancer are generally more common than in other areas. In the Lianghu area where people like to eat betel nut, the oral cavity is more popular. Mucosal disorders also occur frequently."

"There are many similar examples. It can be said that there are related regional diseases from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign countries."

"So today I specially selected a piece of food as the starting point of the topic to focus on!"

After speaking, Zhou Chuan clicked on the PPT and saw a familiar food appear on the screen, which was a pig thigh wrapped in a thick fermented coat.

"Is this ham?"

Chen Jue was slightly startled when he looked down. As a native of Jiang Province, he could basically recognize this thing at a glance.

Because there is a place in Jiang Province that is rich in this kind of food, when I was a kid, it was popular in Wenzhou to give ham gift boxes as gifts for visiting relatives during the holidays.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chuan would focus his research on such an unpopular food.

Even the judges and teachers sitting below showed interest. After all, ham is indeed a household name in Jiang Province.

"The written record of ham was first seen in a sentence in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Tang Dynasty: The one with the best ham is the one that produces golden flowers."

"As a food that originated in China, the earliest use of ham was not on the dining table, but was used as military rations in the army."

"For example, Zongze, the famous general who fought against the Jin Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty, was one of the people who promoted ham, a food from his hometown in Yiwu. There were many people promoted by Zongze, including Yue Fei, who we all know was loyal to the country, and the Yue family, who had won many battles. military."

"Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, also went to the mountains of Yiwu to select soldiers. It was because the people in this area had long-term intake of high-salt foods such as ham, which resulted in their physical fitness being stronger than that of people in other areas at that time. Take a piece of it.”

"Since the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty went south to occupy China. The method of making high-quality military rations such as ham was also brought to the world by the Mongolian army from the Song Dynasty, forming many derivatives, such as Xuanwei ham, Italian ham, Spanish ham, etc."

"As for why ham was chosen as military ration, apart from its easy storage, it actually has a lot to do with its nutritional content."

After Zhou Chuan finished speaking, he clicked on the next page about the nutritional content of ham. In addition to the common calories and protein, the sodium and potassium content indicators were directly marked in red.

"Sodium and potassium are the most important electrolytes in our body. Without these two, the human body will suffer from fatigue, coma and palpitation."

"For ancient soldiers, excessive intake of these two trace elements would improve their physical strength, combat effectiveness and fighting confidence. Because in ancient times, the salt production industry was not developed, and people in many areas could not even maintain normal The intake of salt cannot be guaranteed, and war is a large-scale activity that consumes extremely physical strength, so electrolyte intake and supplementation are extremely important.”

Zhou Chuan clicked on the PPT again as he spoke, and pulled out a comparison chart of the salt intake of people from different regions in ancient times, which also included the difference in salt intake between Western Europe and China.

These data look very interesting, but in order to obtain them, you must consult a large amount of ancient books and data, almost deducing them from ancient recipes from various places.

This shows how much work Zhou Chuan put into this paper!

"No wonder Zhou Chuan is so eager for success. Just collecting this data will cost a lot of money and energy, right?" Chen Jue admired his sincerity even more.

Even the teachers and professors sitting in the front row who acted as judges nodded in agreement, and excerpted the values ​​mentioned above from time to time, probably intending to go back and study it carefully.

At this time, the topic sharing was not over yet, Zhou Chuan clicked on the next PPT content on the podium.

The content is an illustration depicting the scene during the war between the Mongols and the European coalition forces.

"The reason why the Mongols were able to push across the Eurasian continent was not only their proficiency in bows and horses and their tactics, but also the policy of supporting war with war within the army. The most important factor was also due to their daily eating habits. .”

"Taking the ham production methods that were spread to Europe at that time, the salt content of Spanish ham is roughly around 3% to 4%, while the salt content of our Chinese ham is generally 12%!"

"It can be deduced from this that there was a gap of nearly 3 to 4 times in the salt intake levels of the armies in the two regions at that time, which was almost a dimensionality-reducing blow when it came to physical fitness."

"So in the era of cold weapons, China's combat effectiveness could indeed be said to be the best in the world at that time."

As soon as this comparative data came out, even the students below became commotion. Everyone was shocked by Zhou Chuan's unique ideas!

Although it seems outrageous to estimate the physical strength level of ancient soldiers based solely on the salt content of ham, it makes perfect sense when you think about it carefully.

Moreover, the data provided by Zhou Chuan was not limited to ham and salt, but also compared the military diets of the two places at that time. Whether it was protein intake or fat intake, the nutritional level of the Mongolian army was much higher than that of the Western European coalition forces.

However, this abnormal salt intake obviously comes at a cost. In the next PPT, Zhou Chuan announced the comparison of the average life expectancy of Mongolians, Hans, and Western Europeans at that time.

The lowest among them is the ancient Mongolians, with an average life expectancy of only 17.8 years!

In addition, the average life span in the ancient Yiwu area, which fed on ham, was much lower than that in the surrounding areas of Jiang Province.

"Although excessive salt intake can induce an increase in adrenaline hormone secretion, which temporarily increases a person's strength and keeps the body excited, it can also lead to water and sodium retention and induce heart and kidney diseases."

"Curated meats such as ham are rich in nitrite, which has long been recognized as a first-level carcinogen by the World Health Organization, so it is recommended that everyone not consume too much."

Zhou Chuan continued to explain on the stage, and the content extended from ham intake to kidney, cardiovascular and other diseases, but Chen Jue was a little distracted while listening.

As someone who was exposed to high-pound traditional bows, he finally understood why ancient soldiers could so easily fire hard bows weighing more than 100 pounds.

The price of this is not only years of practice, but also health and even life.

“Luckily I live in a modern day where technology is a little bit more advanced and there are better supplement options that don’t have side effects.”

"There is no need to choose food like ham just to pursue strength."

Chen Jue secretly rejoiced and at the same time focused his attention on the panel.

Because during the lecture just now, how many bands were lit up again in the human body structure diagram on the panel? ? ? unknown entry, and a new prompt popped up on the panel:

——————

I didn't finish coding this chapter last night, because I added a lot of imaginative content, so I woke up this morning with a clear mind and revised some of the length.
