Except breast milk, almost no food in the world can contain all the nutrients, so if we want to have a scientific and healthy diet, our food must be diversified. The Dietary Guide for China Residents points out that there are 12 kinds of food every day, and 25 kinds every week as far as possible.
I have done a survey of patients' diet structure in clinic and found that some of them are * * *. For example, some patients have a single diet, and almost all kinds of food are in a day or a week. Some patients eat a lot of their favorite foods, while others eat relatively little. Every time I meet such a patient, I will make an analogy. For example, the food you eat provides nutrition, just like repairing cells. If you eat so few varieties every day, it is almost impossible for cells to maintain and repair, and it is bound to strike for many years.
So how do we diversify our food?
We can choose from food categories, such as grains, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, livestock and poultry meat, beans, milk, eggs, mushrooms, nuts and fats, seafood and so on. Color can also be divided into red, orange, green, white, blue and purple.
Maybe many partners think that their bellies are so big, how can they hold so much food? In fact, we can make full use of modern tools, such as washing fresh vegetables and fruits of various colors and mashing them in a cooking machine, so that we can eat about five kinds of fruits and vegetables in just ten minutes.
You can make whole grain soybean milk, black beans, mung beans, red beans, Poria cocos, Euryale euryales, millet, walnuts, red dates, lilies, lotus seeds and oats every day. In this way, it only takes ten minutes to finish a cup of whole grain soybean milk, and then we can finish it in just a few minutes.
In short, we should try to make good use of tools and how to eat the same meal, but we can maximize the variety of food.
