Eat a sea cucumber every day for a month, how will your body react?

The ranking has always been very eye-catching, even the nutrition of food should be divided up and down. Not only ordinary people like to watch food nutrition rankings, but also some well-known media will make a food ranking to attract public attention. In my mind, it seems that both National Geographic magazine and BBC have made food lists.

But in my opinion, this kind of food is useless for nutrition ranking, and even misleads the public's diet. There is a simple reason. Man is not a single food animal, but an omnivore, which needs a variety of nutrients and is indispensable. For example, for a pure meat lion, meat is the most nutritious food. But for people, eating only meat and eating nothing else will kill people, because people need a variety of nutrients and can't lack anything. No food in nature can provide all the nutrients needed by human beings, so we need to eat a variety of foods. In that case, what's the point of making a nutrition ranking?

The most nutritious food is not available, but only for special people. The best food for babies within 6 months is breast milk, no one. For adults, the most nutritious supplement should be the total nutrition formula used in hospitals. It contains all the nutrients needed by the human body, ensuring a comprehensive and balanced nutrition after eating. But I bet no one wants to eat that stuff for a long time except patients who need nutritional support. Because everyone has an appetite and wants to eat delicious food, this spiritual desire for food is one of the most basic instincts of human beings.

Although there is no most nutritious natural food (except breast milk), there are healthy foods and healthy eating habits. Natural foods that meet the nutritional needs of human body are healthy foods, such as coarse grains, vegetables and fruits, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk and various meats. With healthy food, it is necessary to have a healthy eating method and a cooking method with low salt, low fat and low sugar, so as to ensure that healthy ingredients become healthy food. Finally, balanced nutrition, not picky eaters, even the criticized pork, as long as it is eaten in moderation, is also healthy.
