Chinese medicine has always regarded whole grains as the basis of diet. As early as in the health bible Su Wen of Huangdi Neijing, the principle of "five grains are nourishing, five fruits are helping, five livestock are benefiting, five dishes are filling, and the smell is consistent, so as to supplement the essence" was put forward. At the same time, it also explained the dominant position of five grains in diet, that is, "five grains" is the foundation of diet health, and Chinese medicine is known as "five grains nourish five internal organs". According to Zhou Li, the palace diet at that time,
Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that there are 33 kinds of cereals and 47 kinds of beans 14. Compendium of Materia Medica also praised the nutritional value and efficacy of cereals.
In the healthy dietary structure recommended by FAO, the proportion of cereals also exceeds 60%, which is the basis of health.
The dietary guidelines for China residents clearly point out that the principle of "diversification of food, mainly cereals" should be followed. It is the most scientific and reasonable choice to give priority to whole grains, appropriate vegetables and a certain amount of meat.
Whole grains are the basis of daily diet and disease prevention. Whole grains have the effects of strengthening brain, improving intelligence and beauty beauty. In order to keep healthy, eat good whole grains and avoid serious illness.
Nutritionists believe that in order to curb the prevalence of meat nutrition, we must establish the concept of nutritional balance and return to grain nutrition. In order to achieve nutritional balance, the ratio of plant food to animal food should be 7∶ 1. What is vegetarian nutrition? The so-called vegetarian nutrition refers to the life-sustaining nutrients provided by the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds of plants to human beings. As a result, coarse grains, which used to be considered unattractive, are increasingly appearing in restaurants.
