What can I eat every day? What should I eat? What will you eat? Hwa-Sung Do sighed, and his heart was at a loss.
Comrade Wang Qishan, then vice premier, once said:
"I'm sorry, China people have just eaten enough, so they can't eat safely.".
Health is one, everything else is followed by zero. To realize this dream, we must look for the answer from the minds of wise men, such as Professor Colin Campbell. His book "Life-saving Diet: A Health Survey Report of China" can be called the Bible in the field of nutrition.
This book is called the pinnacle of epidemiological research by The New York Times, and it is also the first joint scientific experiment after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. The manpower and material resources invested, the data collected and the achievements obtained are unprecedented, and the viewpoints provided are even more groundbreaking.
This study shows that a diet based on animal food will lead to chronic diseases, such as obesity, coronary heart disease, tumor, osteoporosis and so on. A plant-based diet is most beneficial to health and can effectively prevent and control chronic diseases, that is, eat more grain, vegetables and fruits, and eat less chicken, duck, fish, eggs and milk.
Professor Campbell suggested from his conscience that death is caused by food. The scientific evidence is beyond doubt, and the research results are shocking. Animal protein, especially milk protein, can significantly increase the incidence of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, kidney calculi's disease, osteoporosis, hypertension, cataract and Alzheimer's disease. What is even more shocking is that all these diseases can be controlled and treated by adjusting diet.
It can't help but remind people of another wise man, Professor Zhou Youguang, who is11years old and the father of China hanyu pinyin, summing up his life experience:
Diseases are all eaten.
Professor Campbell was born in the countryside. His father was a farmer and a boy who grew up drinking milk from a dairy farm. Like other Americans, he once thought that the American diet was the healthiest in the world, and one of the standards of the so-called healthiest food must contain a lot of high-quality animal protein. This view was not completely subverted until he left MIT and went to the Philippines to conduct a research survey on liver cancer in Filipino children.
That is: the boys in protein who eat the most animals in the community are most likely to suffer from liver cancer, and they are all children of wealthy families. This epidemiological study on dietary lifestyle and disease mortality, which lasted for six years in China and spanned 24 provinces and cities and 65 counties, convinced him that the intake of animal or plant nutrition had different effects on health.
He also told us that people who eat the most plant foods are the healthiest and less likely to get chronic diseases; Food can change our lives; Hope is in your food. Professor Campbell also bluntly compared American medical institutions to expensive graves. He also said that optimal nutrition does not mean the healthiest, even the more nutritious, the more dangerous; Diet can prevent cancer.
Professor Campbell made an analogy. If bacteria and viruses are guns, pulling the trigger can only be bad nutrition. Even if you eat organic meat food without chemicals, it won't make you safer.
In this book, Professor Campbell exposes the dark side of American scientific community. Preventing cancer with plant-based food is not welcomed by the food and medicine circles at all, because many vested interests oppose him to do so.
I have read "Life-saving Diet" twice, and I feel that I have benefited a lot after each reading. This is a book with courage and wisdom, with excellent writing and far-reaching meaning, which has benefited people a lot. I can feel that the professor's work is revolutionary and concise.
Yu Mengsun, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said in the preface to the book:
Each of us has our own route. Eating is not only a way to wake up memories, but also a celebration of life, and it is also a double-edged sword to eat health and get sick.
Therefore, to eat health, we should not only respect science, but also eat philosophy, which should vary from time to time and from person to person, that is, philosophy guides science.
Professor Campbell adopted a holistic diet and complete food this time. In this way, we can provide absolutely sufficient information to influence the actual decision.
China has a book "The Art of War", at the beginning of which he wrote, "Soldiers are the major events of the country, the way of life and death, and the place of survival.".
If we change the word "soldier" to "eater", I think it is also very appropriate to meet the situation and criticize the current disadvantages:
The eater, the great event of the country, the way of life and death, and the place of survival must be observed.
Diet is also our closest contact with the world, and it can even become a part of your body directly.
Some people say that in this world, only love and food can't live up to it. Love yourself and others begins with daily diet.
Respect the hard truth of delicacy, create the theme of health, and take Professor Campbell's Life-saving Diet as the Art of Eating, so that we can eat health together and realize the healthy Chinese dream of each of us.
