"Shallow tea and light rice" is a healthy diet.

"Poor food and simple tea" is generally used to describe simple life, and it is also a symbol of low and backward living standards. "Big fish and big meat" is the expression of rich life, but in fact, the "poor food and simple tea" we despise is the real healthy diet.

The most direct manifestation is that the so-called "rich diseases" are all caused by "big fish and big meat", such as hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, which are the main killers of modern people's health. In addition to the primary disease, it will also cause many complications, because of the high-calorie and high-fat diet.

And "poor tea and light rice" is a healthy way of eating away from "three highs". In addition to avoiding the "three highs", "poverty and lack of food" can also bring unexpected benefits to our health.

For example, foods with high crude fiber content, such as millet, sorghum, buckwheat, oats, etc., can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation, because crude fiber can stimulate gastrointestinal tract and accelerate peristalsis through its mechanical action, and the bulk density of crude fiber is relatively low, which can increase satiety, thus avoiding excessive energy intake.

Coarse grains such as bran contain a lot of B vitamins, especially pantothenic acid, which is necessary for human body. If the rice flour is cooked too finely, these nutrients will be lost.

The content of oligosaccharides in coarse grains is also high, such as soybeans, potatoes, pumpkins and onions. Oligosaccharides, also known as oligosaccharides, belong to prebiotics, which can promote the reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, thus forming a healthy microecological environment in the intestine, ensuring the health of the intestine and improving human immunity.

Of course, a simple meal does not mean that you don't need animal protein food, but you should pay attention to your choice. For example, eggs and chicken are the first choice of healthy foods in animal protein, with low fat and calories and balanced amino acids. In terms of meat, there has always been a saying that "four legs are not as good as two legs". In foreign countries, it is said that "red meat is not as good as white meat", so we should eat more eggs and chicken while having a simple meal.
