The western diet is healthier.
As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water support one side of the people, and the geographical environment, climatic conditions, living habits and other factors around the world lead to people's diets vary widely. Even in the same country, eating habits will vary greatly. For thousands of years, China has been dominated by farming civilization, forming a diet structure with cereals as the mainstay, vegetables and fruits as the supplement, and meat and eggs as the supplement. Huangdi Neijing said: "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five vegetables are for filling, and five animals are suitable". In the daily diet, cereals are the basis of human survival, and fruits can supplement the daily diet. In the case of insufficient food, vegetables can be used as fillers to achieve satiety. If we can eat some meat, so much the better. The reason why Huangdi Neijing put forward this ancient diet suggestion was based on the local geography, climate, natural and human environment at that time. You can learn from it today. After enlarging our vision, we found that from the vast minority areas to Europe and America today, many eating habits have also been formed because of the influence of geography, climate, humanities and other factors. For example, in areas lacking a large area of cultivated land, or areas with unsuitable climatic conditions, it is impossible to form a strong farming culture like the Han Central Plains. Accordingly, they formed animal husbandry culture or fishery culture, and the characteristics of these cultures are also reflected in the diet situation in these areas today. For example, in Europe and America, although there are whole grains in the diet, the diet method is different from that in the East. They seldom cook, and more often choose to bake bread. In the choice of non-staple food, beef, fish and milk are more choices as supplements; In some coastal countries, eating habits characterized by eating rich seafood will also be formed.
