Chapter 221 Zhao Xinqing: On the Importance of Carbohydrates
In the cave, Li Jixian anxiously poured Song Mingyue some water that had just boiled to cool down, and his hands kept stroking Song Mingyue's forehead.
"This doesn't have a fever..."
"It's obvious that I don't have a fever, how could this happen?"
"It shouldn't be..."
Li Ji said first, then touched his forehead.
The barrage of Bangziguo is speechless:
【…】
[How can you care about your teammates all by touching your head?]
[When you talk about illness, do you only know the "fever"?]
Song Mingyue gently held Li Jixian's hand, smiled, and shook her head and said:
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, it's better tomorrow..."
"I really want to eat cold noodles..."
As she said that, Song Mingyue swallowed and whispered:
"I also want to eat delicious butter bread..."
Li Jixian swallowed as well:
"When we leave here, we will definitely have enough food!"
After hesitating for more than ten minutes, Li Jixian seemed to finally remember something and whispered to Song Mingyue:
"I'll go out to use the bathroom."
After saying that, Li Ji turned around and left the cave first and stood in front of the big tree he used to solve.
Two seconds later, a sound really sounded from the drone behind Li Jixian.
But this time it was not Li Jixian's father, but someone else.
"Li Jixian, I am Wang Xianzong, the director of the program team's security department."
"This incident happened suddenly, I will contact you in person."
"Through communication with the judges, we unanimously agreed that you and Song Mingyue should have a lack of carbohydrates in their dietary structure, which has caused a certain impact on their physical functions."
"Just find the right source of carbohydrates, and you and Song Mingyue should be able to recover soon."
"If not, you will also have similar symptoms to Song Mingyue in a short period of time."
When Li Ji heard Wang Xianzong's words, he was stunned:
“Lack of carbohydrates?”
"I remember some friends had a ketogenic diet before, and they didn't have any problems for a long time?"
The so-called ketogenic diet means not eating any carbohydrates at all, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight.
Wang Xianzong laughed:
"Even if you are in the city, you still have considerable risks with professional nutritionist guidance."
"Not to mention that you are in the wilderness, with such a large daily workload and not eating carbs, how can there be no problem?"
"Carbohydrates are the most important and direct source of energy in the human body."
Upon hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but remain silent.
"What should I do then...?"
"We can't find the right carb..."
"Damn... I knew we would have chosen a bag of seeds for the initial equipment..."
"The sweet potatoes and rice in the seeds are all huge amounts of carbohydrates..."
Wang Xianzong smiled and said:
"It's okay, we've sent a drone to find it for you."
“Five kilometers southeast of your camp, there is a large area of wild sugar sorghum.”
"As long as you can find these sugar sorghum, it can relieve you and Song Mingyue's urgent need for lack of carbohydrates."
"I have to say, you are lucky."
"Sugar sorghum is one of the very few plants that can directly produce a large amount of carbohydrates without human domestication in the wild."
Upon hearing this, a light flashed in Li Jixian's eyes.
Five kilometers?
For him, five kilometers is not far away.
Although I don’t know what sugar sorghum is, since Wang Xianzong said he could eat it, it should be able to solve his urgent need for carbohydrates!
"Okay, I get it. I'll go find sugar sorghum now."
When the drone returned to normal and no longer heard Wang Xianzong's voice came from inside, Li Jixian then lifted his pants and turned back into the cave.
He gently held Song Mingyue's hand and said:
"Mingyue, I just thought about it and felt that it was because of the problems with our diet during this period that caused our body to start to have problems."
Song Mingyue was stunned for a moment: "But we eat a lot every day and have never been hungry. How could there be any problem with the food?"
She had always thought that food was an absolute strength in the combination of herself and Li Jixian.
But now, Li Jixian said that there was something wrong with the food of the two, which really made Song Mingyue feel unacceptable.
Li Jixian sighed:
“We have never taken sugar.”
"The body cannot be deficient in carbohydrates for a long time."
"No matter how much meat you eat or the carbohydrate gap is, it cannot be filled."
Before Wang Xianzong told Li Jixian the reason, Li Jixian felt tired.
But now that Li Jixian knew the reason, he began to want to eat candy wildly.
The appearance and taste of various high-sugar foods were crazily rolling in Li Jixian's mind, constantly urging him to find some carbs to eat.
Hearing Li Jixian's words, Song Mingyue thought for a while and nodded:
"Yeah, it makes sense..."
"But... the fruits we see are all wild fruits, I don't know if they are poisonous..."
“Where do we look for carbohydrates to eat?”
Li Ji was confident, but couldn't say too much to Song Mingyue, so he had to say:
"It's up to people, I'll go out and find carbohydrates to eat."
After saying that, Li Ji turned his head and left, leaving the cave directly.
Song Mingyue looked at Li Jixian's back as he left, subconsciously wanted to go with Li Jixian, but her legs became weak and she couldn't stand up no matter what.
In the end, Song Mingyue could only shake her head and sigh, allowing Li Ji to go out and search alone first.
...
In Su Bai's live broadcast room, the two had just gone down the mountain from an unfamiliar path and returned to the camp.
Before they could remove the mulberries from the foodie, the two of them saw the barrage in the live broadcast room begin to flood the screen.
[Dr. Zhao, Dr. Zhao!]
[Li Jixian just said that he and Song Mingyue did not eat carbohydrates, and their physical functions were affected, so they developed symptoms of fatigue.]
[He is now setting out to find carbohydrates!]
[Is what Li Jixian said right?]
Zhao Xinqing and Su Bai looked at each other.
Just now, the reason why Zhao Xinqing whispered in Su Bai's ear was that these two people lacked carbohydrates and caused fatigue!
"He actually reacted?"
Su Bai shrugged:
"In this case, it is often a mystery to the authorities. It really makes me think of it so quickly."
When Zhao Xinqing saw that Li Ji had awakened first, she no longer hid her own privately and explained:
“There is a reason why we humans regard starchy food as staple food.”
"Starred foods will be converted into blood sugar under the action of the digestive system, and blood sugar is the most direct source of energy for the human body. A long-term lack of carbohydrates will suppress the functions of the nervous system and various organs."
"Although Li Jixian and Song Mingyue are not short of food, the dietary structure will sooner or later have problems..."
"So, in a wilderness environment, the stable source of carbohydrates is also one of the important factors in whether they can survive for a long time."
Barrage:
【It's really strange to say...】
[Why can Li Jixian figure out so many things by using the toilet?]
