As the saying goes, "a lot of people live in different parts of the world because of their geography, climate, and customs," which makes people's diets very different. Even in the same country, eating habits can be very different. There are not only cultural differences between the East and the West, but also for the food store habits are also very different. Among them there are Chinese food and Western food, that between the two which nutrition is more healthy?

China's thousands of years of agricultural civilization, the formation of a dietary structure based on the consumption of cereals and grains as the main food, vegetables and fruits as a supplement, meat and eggs as a supplement. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon says, "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for assistance, five vegetables are for enrichment, and five livestock are for appropriateness." In the daily diet, cereals are the basis of human survival, fruits can assist the daily diet, in the case of not eating enough, vegetables can be used as filler to achieve satiety, if there is also a bit of meat to eat, it would be better.

The reason for this ancient dietary advice in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine was based on the local geography, climate, nature and human environment of the time. It is also relevant today.

When we zoom out, we find that many dietary habits have been formed from the vast areas inhabited by ethnic minorities to today's Europe and the United States, also because of geography, climate, humanities and other factors. For example, in the lack of large areas of arable land, or in areas with unsuitable climatic conditions, it is impossible to form a strong farming culture as in our Han Chinese Central Plains, corresponding to the formation of animal husbandry culture or fishery culture, and the characteristics of these cultures are also reflected in today's dietary situation in these areas.

For example, in Europe and the United States, although the same grain and cereals in the diet, but the dietary methods are different from the East, they will rarely be steamed, and more will choose to bake into bread; in the choice of side dishes, more choice of beef, fish, dairy as a supplement; in some coastal countries, will also be the formation of the consumption of rich seafood as the characteristics of the The dietary habits of the people who live in the country.

In fact, the diet of each region has its own excellent side, but also particularly disadvantageous side. A truly good diet is one that is self-developed, one that follows the scientific concepts of food variety and dietary balance. In the face of science, food is equal, dietary structure is healthy, depends entirely on each of us to choose and collocation.
