The idea of ​​omnivorous food, which is proposed in ancient Chinese medicine as "grains are for raising, five fruits for helping, five animals for good, and five dishes for replenishing," has been highly valued by the Chinese people from ancient to modern times. Correspondingly, the Southern Dynasties medicine Tao Hongjing summed up the gains and losses of his predecessors in his health practice and wrote the warning words of “Ten Fushou and Gao Liangâ€. In today's words, it is: Long-lived thick-bodied rice, and those who are rich in fat and meat.
In today's society, the promotion of omnivorous foods and light meals is particularly important. With the continuous improvement of material life, many families’ tables are often filled with certain foods with excess nutrients. As a result, obesity, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, fatty liver and a series of rich diseases are caused. happened.
At the same time, there are many people who pay great attention to nutrition issues for the sake of health and longevity: If one hears that one kind of food is not suitable, one does not eat it; when it is heard that a certain kind of food helps to prolong life, they will desperately eat more. Although their motives are desirable, they often miss out on each other and cause havoc. For example, in order to prevent arterial vascular sclerosis and obesity, many people refuse to eat animal fats and fats, but only eat vegetable oils and lean meats, thinking that they can be safe. As everyone knows, the rich methionine contained in lean meat enters the human body and becomes homocysteine ​​under the catalytic action of enzymes, thus providing a prerequisite and possibility for arteriosclerosis. At the same time, the intake of low-cholesterol and high-vegetable oil foods can prevent arteriosclerosis to some extent, but it is more than twice as likely to cause gallstone disease and death as a result.
Therefore, omnivorous foods and crude tea should be advocated as a mixed diet that opposes a partial eclipse. The correct approach is to take plant-based foods as a priority, and pay attention to foods with mixed grains and rice, mixed rice noodles, and supplemented with a variety of animal-based foods, including fatty meats. This is a healthy strategy.
