275: Chapter 272 The Help of Eating the Right Food for Transformation Realm

Actually, the food here is not of the top-tier, delicious kind.

It can only be said to be slightly better than a first-class restaurant, but if one considers that every dish here is portioned with the most scientific ratios, then it is quite impressive.

Li Changsheng, having been to gyms, knew very well that if you let a trainer customize a meal plan at a gym, the food you eat is as tasteless as chewing wax.

For example, the things eaten during a fat-loss phase—boiled chicken breast, broccoli, whole grains, and the like—are absolutely terrible to eat if you cook them yourself.

Even in some shops that specialize in light meals, the taste is quite average, and compared to restaurants that prioritize deliciousness, the difference is vast.

Li Changsheng tried it once and never tried it again.

On one hand, his exercise volume was already huge, and on the other hand, the meals he usually ate weren't too greasy, and they were mostly meat-based.

Generally speaking, unless one is losing weight, there is absolutely no need to eat fat-loss meals.

But right now, here, even though it is the healthiest meal, the ingredients selected are similar to fat-loss meals, but more diverse, such as various types of shrimp, seafood, and high-quality beef.

Combined with unique cooking methods, it makes one involuntarily think of a saying: "In this world, only good food should not be failed."

Healthy and delicious; Li Changsheng felt that if all healthy food could be made this delicious, then who would still eat junk food?

However, what made Li Changsheng quite dissatisfied was that there was a mandatory meal time here: half an hour.

It takes half an hour to finish everything, and there is a rule to eat at a steady pace. Furthermore, because this was his first meal here, the consultant, Ms. Lux, was also standing by to explain.

"Mr. Li, I am very sorry to disturb your meal, but I guarantee this is the only time. Because the company has regulations, in order not to affect everyone's mood while dining, I should ideally avoid it."

"But there is no way around it this time; it is also a company regulation that I must explain the dining rules here to you."

Lux stood to the side with an apologetic look. Wearing an office lady outfit, she appeared very graceful, and the black stockings on her legs made her long legs look even more slender.

However, Li Changsheng had no intention of admiring her; he just waved his hand to signal that she should do as she pleased.

"I have just mentioned the duration. Secondly, you must pay attention to chewing slowly while dining here."

"And look at this screen; it has dynamic videos of scenery from all over the world. You can enjoy them while dining, and at the same time, imagine beautiful things in your mind."

"Imagine dining in an environment with very beautiful scenery, and focus your attention on the food."

"In addition, drinking water is provided with every meal; this is also to be consumed after the meal..."

Ms. Lux said a lot, and Li Changsheng noted it all down. He never refused habits that were good for his body, though he wasn't quite used to it at the beginning.

"Those are the dining habits. I will not disturb you, Mr. Li, while you eat."

After speaking, Lux very sensibly retreated outside.

Because it was the first day, Lux was still quite busy.

After that, she wouldn't have to work so hard. She was a consultant, not a nanny. She would just occasionally watch from a distance when Li Changsheng was training, and only go over to coordinate if Li Changsheng gave an order.

A meal took a full half hour. It had to be said that eating like this was indeed very scientific and also a kind of enjoyment.

"The benefits to the body are not yet visible, but it is indeed a kind of enjoyment for the spirit."

At this moment, Li Changsheng felt very mentally pleasant, and he was quite clear about why.

This was because chewing thoroughly at this time could secrete more saliva, convert the starch in the food into maltose, and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract for digestion. The more times one chewed, the more one could stimulate the cerebral cortex through the movement of facial muscles, making the brain more active.

The so-called details are often where the key lies.

"Only by eating like this can one comprehend the true meaning of life, the desire of life for food. In the long run, will this also help me step into Hua Jin?"

Li Changsheng thought of what Zhang Youdao had said to him before.

"The old man once said that the further one goes, the more martial arts pursues not just physical strength and combat ability—because human power is sometimes limited—but rather, the further one goes, the more it becomes a process of pursuing the integration of spirit and body."

"Whether it is Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, or martial arts, all value essence, Qi, and spirit. Similarly, this also represents the steps of practicing martial arts. The beginning is to train that energy, and tempering the body is this step."

"The next step is to use the body to guide Qi, and then gradually consider the aspect of spirit. Using intent to guide Qi is equivalent to a transition, and I am currently in this transition process."

"Moreover, essence, Qi, and spirit are reflected in all aspects of martial arts. 'Essence' must be abundant, 'Qi' must sink, and 'spirit' refers to the charm. It is internal cultivation and, even more so, the key to truly stimulating potential and breaking human limits."

While thinking, he picked up the water next to him and swallowed it slowly.

"From a scientific point of view, drinking water or beverages after a meal is actually a process of promoting digestion, but the book Source of Qi points out that saliva is the best digestive aid."

"Perhaps I can combine the two."

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng took a sip of water and immediately began to follow the description in Longevity Qigong, using his tongue to circle the oral cavity walls and gums.

Slowly, saliva began to generate in his mouth. Li Changsheng began to imagine as if he were drinking fine wine, slowly swallowing the saliva.

Immediately, his hands also began to gently rub and press several Acupoints on his abdomen.

This was knowledge he had seen in traditional Chinese medicine books; there are several Acupoints on the abdomen that are sensitive to nerves.

"The effect seems quite good!"

As Li Changsheng rubbed and pressed the Acupoints in the specified order, while simultaneously using the method from Longevity Qigong to swallow saliva—the method used for consuming Kunlun Longevity Wine—he could clearly feel that his gastrointestinal peristalsis had become more powerful.

"Does this count as unlocking another big eater skill?"

The basic operation of a big eater is to induce vomiting, but that harms the body. However, this is truly scientific and nourishing.

After rubbing the Acupoints and swallowing saliva on the chair for a while longer, Li Changsheng finally got up from the chair.

Walking outside, Li Changsheng could clearly feel that he was not at all like he was just after a meal, feeling a bit mentally sluggish.

Generally speaking, after eating, because of excessive glycogen intake, it is easy to cause brain fatigue and make one want to sleep.

This is a natural reaction of the human body, but after this wave of operations, not only did he not want to sleep, but he felt refreshed.

It was as if he had received a full-body massage service.

"Mr. Li, your spirit seems very good. It looks like you really enjoyed the food."

Seeing Li Changsheng come out, Lux walked over with a smile, moving her long legs in black stockings.

"I am not opposed to any healthy behavior."

Li Changsheng nodded, scanned the surroundings, and quickly spotted Chen Youcai, who had been waiting for a long time not far away.

Immediately, he bypassed Lux and walked over.

Seeing this, Lux looked at her chest in confusion, then looked at her legs, feeling somewhat self-doubting.

It wasn't that she was interested in Li Changsheng; she was just very puzzled.

After all, she had never seen a man who didn't look at these two points, but she recalled carefully and found that from beginning to end, this Mr. Li had never looked at any other area except for her face while speaking.
