What is a healthy diet structure?

Food is the best source of essential nutrition for human body. Only by establishing a scientific diet structure can we ensure a scientific and reasonable diet. Generally speaking, China people have abundant food sources. However, due to regional differences, the dietary structure of China people is not ideal.

Problems such as "taste" and "hobby" in eating habits determine the irrationality and blindness of its eating structure. Only by truly understanding the nutritional characteristics of food and mastering certain skills of supplementing nutrition can we obtain the ideal complementary food effect.

Food diversity, grain-based food contains different nutrients, and no food can supply all the nutrients needed by the human body. The daily diet must be properly matched with a variety of foods to meet the human body's demand for various nutrients.

Cereal is the main part of the traditional diet in China.

It is the main source of human energy, and it provides carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber and B vitamins. Among all kinds of food, cereal should be the main food, and attention should be paid to the collocation of coarse and fine grains.

Eat more vegetables, fruits, potatoes and other foods rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other active substances. The vitamin content in dark vegetables such as red, yellow and green is higher than that in light vegetables and fruits, while the sugar, organic acids and pectin in fruits are richer than those in vegetables.

A rich diet of vegetables, fruits and potatoes plays an important role in protecting cardiovascular health, enhancing disease resistance and preventing certain cancers.

Often eat milk, beans and their products.

Milk is rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, with high calcium content and high utilization rate. The calcium content in the diet of Chinese residents is generally low, and there are many rickets in infants in China, which is related to the insufficient calcium content in the diet.

Beans are rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium and B vitamins, and are easier to digest after being processed into bean products. Therefore, we should advocate eating beans and bean products often.
