China's theory of traditional Chinese medicine is profound and profound, which holds that: medicine is divided into three parts. In other words, any tonic will hurt your health if you eat too much.

Here, I would like to introduce some advanced green health care concepts to you.

In recent years, there is a slogan abroad called "turning pharmacies into kitchens", which emphasizes the importance of diet therapy and health care. The concept of diet health preservation in Chinese medicine is worth carrying forward. Huangdi Neijing? 6? 1 on the method of dirty qi, it says, "Poison attacks evil, grains support, five fruits help, five animals benefit, and five dishes fill". What do you mean? It means that drugs are used to treat diseases and attack evil spirits, and they are biased. Whole grains are indispensable to ensure human nutrition, and fruits, meat and vegetables are necessary supplements. With the improvement of modern people's living standard and refined diet, the proportion of fish, fruits and vegetables in the diet structure has increased, leading to eating disorders and diseases. Many "diseases of wealth" are caused by people eating too much. Why people don't like to eat coarse grains, the main reason is that the taste of the entrance is not good. It can be seen that feelings are not always right. Although dietary fiber in coarse grains can't be digested and utilized by human body, it can ventilate intestines, clean up waste and promote food residues to be excreted as soon as possible. Therefore, rebuilding a reasonable diet is of great significance to a healthy life.

In ancient times, there was no distinction between coarse grains and coarse grains. Since 1950s, China has artificially divided grains into staple grains and coarse grains, or flour and rice and coarse grains, from the perspective of rations system management. Rice and wheat are called flour and rice, while others become coarse grains or miscellaneous grains. Traditionally, people call the rice and flour that urban residents eat daily flour and rice, and call corn (flour), millet, sorghum, buckwheat and potatoes coarse grains. Coarse grains are particularly rich in trace elements and vitamins, and coarse grains such as corn and potatoes contain more dietary fiber. Nutritionists believe that eating coarse grains at least three times a week is beneficial to human health. However, it should be noted that eating coarse grains is not "the more the better". Some people are afraid of over-refined food, excessively pursue coarse grains, or even only eat coarse grains, and refuse to eat flour and rice. These practices are not desirable. In particular, the elderly with declining digestive function, children with incomplete gastrointestinal function and young adults with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat too much coarse grains and coarse grains. "Five grains are the nourishment", both coarse and fine grains are rich in nutrition, and it is beneficial to health to eat them together.

So what are the benefits of eating whole grains often? We eat white flour, rice, delicacies, seafood, big meat and big fish every day, and it's time to clean up our intestines and stomach! Eating coarse grains can make your stomach healthier and your appetite stronger. The nutritional value of whole grains is different. Let me give you a general introduction first.

Let's talk about the millet that everyone often eats. Compared with rice, millet contains higher contents of protein, fat and vitamins, and is rich in niacin and carotene, which is suitable for pregnant women and children. Therefore, pregnant women in northern China drink millet porridge every day and every meal. In traditional Chinese medicine, millet is sweet and salty, which has the functions of tonifying deficiency, invigorating spleen and kidney, clearing away deficiency and heat, removing dampness and diuresis, benefiting spleen and stomach, and treating spleen and stomach weakness, indigestion, nausea and vomiting.

Everyone is familiar with glutinous rice.

This product is sticky and difficult to digest. People with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat more, and patients should cook porridge or paste it.

Speaking of sweet potatoes, people living in big cities may just eat baked sweet potatoes. It is estimated that there is not much to eat after cooking or steaming. Sweet potato is not only rich in starch and soluble sugar, but also contains protein, fatty acids, vitamins, amino acids and inorganic salts such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. Except fat, its nutrients are higher than rice and white flour, and its calorific value is higher than that of many food crops. You didn't expect this. In addition, sweet potato is a kind of physiological alkaline food, which can neutralize the acidic substances produced by meat, eggs, rice and flour, so it can adjust the acid-base balance of human body, which you didn't expect. In traditional Chinese medicine, sweet potato is sweet, non-toxic, nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the mind, benefiting qi, promoting lactation, and removing stasis and toxin.

Sweet potato is rich in mucin, which can not only keep the lubrication in joint cavity, but also keep the elasticity of human cardiovascular wall, prevent atherosclerosis, reduce subcutaneous fat, prevent connective tissue atrophy in liver and kidney, and improve the body's immune ability, which you didn't expect. Hehe, don't hurry to buy sweet potatoes to cook and eat!

After sweet potatoes, let's talk about corn. Corn contains starch, fat, vitamins B 1, B 12, niacin, pantothenic acid and biotin; Although it is rich in protein, it lacks some essential amino acids, so it is not suitable for long-term consumption alone; Corn also contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin, which is beneficial to lowering cholesterol; In traditional Chinese medicine, corn is sweet and flat, which can adjust appetite, reduce turbidity and benefit water; Can be used for treating hypertension, hyperlipidemia, urinary calculi, cholecystolithiasis, etc. Corn is recognized as the "golden crop" in the world, and its cellulose is 4- 10 times higher than that of polished rice and refined flour. Cellulose can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, eliminate the factors of colorectal cancer, reduce cholesterol absorption and prevent coronary heart disease.

Everyone only eats white flour on weekdays, so it is estimated that not many people eat wheat directly. The content of starch and fat in wheat is similar to that in rice, but the content of protein and calcium is much higher than that in rice. It also contains B vitamins and vitamin E, especially vitamin E, which contains choline, lecithin and arginine, and can enhance memory. It also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron and enzymes that help digestion; In traditional Chinese medicine, wheat is sweet, salty and cool, which can replenish deficiency, strengthen spleen and stomach, clear deficiency and heat, induce diuresis and nourish kidney. All spleen and stomach deficiency and senile stranguria can be taken. It has the effect of nourishing the heart and reducing fever, so that body fluids are not disturbed by fire, and can be used to treat restlessness, insomnia and dirty dryness.

Buckwheat is now sold in all major supermarkets. Buckwheat contains carbohydrates, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B 1, nicotinic acid, etc. Sweet and cool in nature, it has the effects of appetizing, relaxing bowels, and relieving stagnation.
