China residents' balanced diet pagoda is designed according to the dietary guidelines of China residents and the dietary structure characteristics of China residents. It transforms the principle of balanced diet into the weight of all kinds of food, and shows it in the form of an intuitive pagoda, which is convenient for the masses to understand and apply in daily life. The pagoda of balanced diet is divided into five layers, including the main types of food we should eat every day. The location and area of each floor of the pagoda are different, which to some extent reflects the position and proportion of various foods in the diet.
Basic structure
1, cereal:
Cereals are at the bottom, and each person should eat 250-400 grams a day; Cereals are the sum of flour, rice, corn flour, wheat, sorghum and so on. They are the main source of dietary energy, and they are often the main source of dietary protein in rural areas. It is better to eat a variety of cereals mixed with one, especially when corn or sorghum is the main food, more attention should be paid to matching some other cereals or legumes. Processed cereals such as bread, pancakes, sliced noodles, etc. should be converted into a considerable amount of flour to calculate.
2. Vegetables and fruits:
Vegetables and fruits occupy the second floor and should be eaten 300-500 grams and 200-400 grams a day; Vegetables and fruits are often put together because they have a lot of sex. However, vegetables and fruits are two kinds of food after all, each with its own advantages and can't completely replace each other. Children, in particular, should not only eat fruits but also vegetables. The weight of vegetables and fruits is calculated according to the fresh weight on the market. Generally speaking, red, green and yellow vegetables and dark yellow fruits are rich in nutrients, so dark vegetables and fruits should be used more.
3. Fish, poultry, meat and eggs:
Animal foods such as fish, poultry, meat and eggs are located on the third floor, and you should eat125-225g every day (50-100g for fish and shrimp, 50-75g for livestock and poultry, and 25-50g for eggs). Fish, poultry, meat and eggs belong to the same category, which mainly provide animal protein and some important minerals and vitamins. But they are also obviously different from each other. Fish, shrimp and other aquatic products are low in fat, so you can eat more if you can. The weight of this kind of food is calculated by the fresh weight at the time of purchase. Meat includes animal meat, poultry meat and internal organs, and the weight is calculated according to the weight after slaughter and cleaning. This kind of food, especially pork, is high in fat, so you should not eat too much meat when you are rich. Eggs contain quite high cholesterol, and generally it is better not to exceed one every day.
4. Milk and legumes
Milk and legumes occupy the fourth floor. You should eat 300 grams of milk and dairy products and 50 grams of beans and bean products every day. At present, milk and dairy products mainly include fresh milk and milk powder. Beans and bean products include many varieties, and 50 grams suggested by Baota is an average. According to the protein provided by Baota, it can be converted into 40 grams of soybeans or 80 grams of dried tofu.
5. Cooking oil and salt
Cooking oil should not exceed 25g or 30g and salt should not exceed 6g every day. The dietary pagoda does not recommend the intake of sugar, because the average amount of sugar eaten by Chinese residents is not much now, and the impact on health is not great. But eating more sugar will increase the risk of dental caries, especially children and adolescents should not eat too much sugar and foods and drinks with high sugar content. The problem of drinking alcohol has been explained in the Dietary Guide for China Residents.
