I guess young people are picky eaters or mothers are worried about their children being picky eaters. But there is no way, you still have to keep the diversity of your diet, or you will be undernourished and unbalanced.
First of all, nutritionists believe that you can't meet the nutritional needs of your body by eating fixed food every day. Even eating healthy food will lead to insufficient intake of other nutrients, which will lead to the lack of some nutrients over time.
Secondly, even if the food you eat is very nutritious, eating only a few single foods for a long time will lead to single overnutrition and other nutritional deficiencies, and long-term nutritional imbalance will also lead to physical diseases. Excessive consumption of broccoli may lead to goiter, weight gain and constipation.
Thirdly, seasons and growing conditions will change the contents of vitamins and minerals in the same food, so it is also important to eat more seasonal foods.
So how to eat is healthy?
First, keep the diversity of food.
Japan and South Korea attach great importance to the diversity of food. Every meal was sumptuous. Although it was not much, they ate everything.
Secondly, the color of food should be rich.
The nutrients contained in food determine the different colors of food. The richer the color, the less likely it is to miss out on nutrients, such as anthocyanin, an antioxidant that makes blueberries appear dark blue, lycopene in tomatoes, carotene in carrots and so on.
Third, buy natural and seasonal foods.
Following the laws of nature, natural seasonal food can ensure that your food can provide you with more suitable nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
Then, eat less processed or semi-processed food.
Some processed foods or semi-processed foods are too high in calories and sugar, and the most important thing is preservatives or other harmful additives.
Finally, change recipes every week.
You can plan from a big perspective first. For example, we can eat one-third of fruits and vegetables, one-third of carbohydrates (rice, noodles and cereals), one-sixth of protein (fish, meat and eggs) and one-sixth of dairy products (milk or soybean milk and yogurt) every day. It also includes dark green leafy vegetables, whole grains, dark and purple fruits, and eats fish at least twice a week. Then adjust the specific food varieties every week, such as pork to beef, river fish to shrimp and so on.
