They are the medical giants who represent the highest academic status in our country. They not only have authoritative knowledge, but also have a healthy body and mentality.

Diet and health is an aspect that everyone pays most attention to, and these big names in the medical field all have one thing in common, that is, they advocate "eating light", and they also practice this. It embodies the truth of health - simplicity.

Wu Mengchao, "the father of hepatobiliary surgery in China", the pioneer and main founder of liver surgery in China, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and professor of the Naval Medical University.

Mr. Wu was born in 1922. Although he is very old, he is sharp and light-footed, and has been "fighting" on his favorite operating table for decades. It's unbelievable to say. At the age of 97, he still insists on performing two or three surgeries every week.

In 2015, Xinmin Evening News reported that Mr. Wu believed that food does not need to be luxurious and high-end, delicacies from mountains and seas, or bird's nests and shark's fins, as long as daily meals are eaten well. Eating too much and too well will cause the accumulation of nutrients in the body, which will bring "burdens" to life and cause diseases. ①

Mr. Wu eats very casually. His three meals a day are very simple. In the morning, he beats an egg in a glass of milk and soaks a few biscuits. Mr. Wu said: "I have been in the habit of having a glass of milk every morning for many years. The fact that my bones are still so strong may be related to this."

Lunch and dinner are also very simple. The lunch at work is a bowl of rice porridge or millet porridge, and a piece of bread when hungry. The dish is four dishes and one soup. Like other medical staff, it is basically a big pot dish, with at most one fish added. Mr. Wu likes to eat fish, tofu and vegetables. I usually eat it at home in the evening, with two or three very light dishes. The staple food is a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun.

Mr. Wu never takes any supplements. When socializing out, he barely eats so-called "hard dishes" such as shark's fin and abalone. He only eats light vegetables or fish and shrimp. He said: "Shark's fin is not a good thing. Eating too much is not good for the body. There are no real supplements on the market. They are all scams."

Zhong Nanshan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Director of the National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases and Director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases.

Because he lives in Guangzhou all year round, Zhong Nanshan highly recommends Cantonese cuisine with light taste. The dishes he has liked since he was a child are also home-cooked: braised sausage, boat porridge, wonton noodles, barbecued pork buns, boiled river shrimp, salted cabbage sum, and fish head and tofu soup. He thinks they are all "delicious and healthy" represent. ②

Steamed grass carp is his favorite dish. He said that after swimming to "slim down", the carp has less excess fat and the meat tastes better. Simply steaming it is good. eat. And if the food is made by pickling, grilling, frying, etc., even if it is delicious, it is not suitable to eat every day from a health perspective.

In May 2019, Academician Zhong Nanshan also posted his healthy breakfast menu at the Guangzhou Asian Food Festival Forum, which included a fish head and tofu soup. Fish head and tofu soup is not greasy or greasy, and is a delicacy suitable for all seasons. The combination of fish head and tofu is not only delicious, but also nutritionally complementary, warming the body, strengthening the brain, and moisturizing the skin.

A dietary principle of Academician Zhong Nanshan: Plant foods (vegetables, beans, etc.) must account for 80%, and animal foods (meat, etc.) must account for 20%. ②

Hong Zhaoguang is a famous cardiovascular expert and health education expert in my country, chairman of the Cardiovascular Expert Committee of the China Elderly Care Association, and professor at Beijing Anzhen Hospital.

In real life, Professor Hong is a practitioner of health theory. Every morning, Professor Hong usually gets up at 6:30, and then walks and exercises near his home. Went home for breakfast around 7:30, which was bread, oatmeal and milk. He must eat tomatoes for one meal every day, and his favorite foods are vegetables and steamed fish. ③

Although he eats lightly, he pays attention to fresh vegetables, and many vegetables are eaten raw and rarely cooked. His daily meal is cold vegetable salad and "Hong's five-color soup" red, yellow, green, white and black: tomatoes, black fungus, green vegetables, yellow vegetables, eggs. At 8 o'clock, Professor Hong set off to work in the hospital on time.

Professor Hong said that when he graduated from college in 1961, he weighed 62 kilograms. Decades later, his current weight has not changed. Occasionally float, but no more than 2 kg up or down. He never smoked or drank excessive amounts of alcohol. Healthy and regular eating habits and moderate exercise have helped him control his weight, improve work efficiency and enhance his body's immunity.

Chen Keji is a well-known expert in internal medicine, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and chief researcher of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.

At present, many diseases are caused by "eating". In response to this situation, Academician Chen Keji pays great attention to dietary and health rules in his daily life. ④

His health regimen tells everyone that we must adhere to a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables and thickness. Dark colors account for most of the colorful vegetables and fruits. At the same time, three daily meals should be scheduled and quantified, and the diet should be rationalized. Naturally, chronic diseases such as the three high-level diseases will not come to your door.

Nowadays, health care products are popular, but Academician Chen Keji never takes those "supplements" on the market.

He believes that the current health care product market is a mixed bag, with few good products and many bad ones. Various health products are uneven and not necessarily effective. Some supplements have medicinal effects and may even aggravate the symptoms of the original disease when taken indiscriminately. In other words, blindly Taking so-called supplements is not good for health, but it is counterproductive. If sub-healthy people want to take supplements, they must take them under the guidance of a doctor.

In contrast, Academician Chen Keji does not rely on supplements but daily diet. He likes to eat garlic and onions, which can be regarded as his own original "supplements". "Eating one or two cloves of garlic every day, either raw or cooked, can help inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver; onions are more effective when eaten raw and cooked." Over time, the lipid-lowering effect will be poor."

Zhu Nansun is one of the first batch of nationally famous veteran Chinese medicine doctors, a Chinese medicine gynecologist, a professor at Yueyang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine, and a tenured professor at Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine.

“I eat very lightly. I never eat fried, fried and other high-yang foods that are easy to get angry.” Zhu Nansun said that other than that, she has no taboos. , but you can also ask yourself not to eat too much of the food you like. ⑤

Compared with medicinal supplements, Zhu Nansun prefers dietary supplements. For example, people with qi and blood deficiency can eat more angelica and mutton soup, and people with weak spleen can also eat some yam. As long as you treat the symptoms, persevere, and regulate your stomach and intestines, longevity is not difficult.

Since she has been engaged in gynecology for a long time, Zhu Nansun is very good at dealing with the problems of women's dull skin and dark spots. She recommends "Three Bean Drink". Use 20 grams each of mung beans, adzuki beans, and black beans, plus 6 grams of raw licorice, and decoct the soup instead of tea. You can also pick out the boiled beans and eat them, which can dilute water, reduce swelling, and supplement nutrition.
