It can be said that everything in the world, for the Chinese, can be summarized in the following 9 words:

Foreigners to see the doctor, usually the doctor instructed the most is: take your medication on time, more exercise, go to bed early and get up early, less smoking.

Want to not be sick remember these 3 words before eating!
1. Eat less, don't take the "chaff eat food" gene, to eat big fish and meat!
Why did China take the "first number of obese people"? Experts explain because: Chinese people have "saving gene", "from thrift into luxury" after, it is more likely to be obese, get diabetes!
The so-called "savings gene", meaning that when people eat chaff, some of the body's genes will maximize the absorption of nutrients.
After the reform and opening up, suddenly rich, the standard of living improved, but the gene is still open, nutrients can not be fully consumed, resulting in over-nutrition.
That is to say, the Chinese people's genes determine that we are "suffering" life, take the "chaffing gene" to eat a lot of meat and fish, this way of eating will not let people eat a few days full of food on the fat, suffering from diabetes.
Originally it was down to the fields, and now the land is sold, eat well, the amount of activity is reduced, belonging to the often sitting in the non-exercise lifestyle. Once people start the "open food, sleep, go out by car" life, and then to "control the mouth, open legs", it is not an easy thing.
To be free from the pain of chronic disease, from now on with the ancestors to learn "eat less, eat eight minutes full" eating habits, perhaps not too late!
