Whole grains and coarse grains we eat, like other foods, have different properties. Ancient medical scientists believed that "medicine and food are homologous", and food, like traditional Chinese medicine, has four characteristics: cold, hot and cold. These four attributes, also called "four qi", are mainly summarized according to people's physical reactions after eating food. Obviously, the same is true of the collocation of whole grains. Knowing the different properties of whole grains, we can understand how to correctly and reasonably match the health care formula of whole grains. Simply put, the properties and temperature of food are different. For example, a cup of hot green tea will feel hot at first, but it will soon feel cold. This shows that green tea is cold, and you can drink green tea to clear away heat and relieve summer heat in summer. If after eating a kind of food, the body has no obvious feeling of fever or chills, it is flat. For example, the rice we eat every day is flat.

When we eat coarse grains with different properties, it will also have a close relationship with our health. The properties and efficacy of different coarse grains will also have different changes. When the weather is cold, our hands and feet are often cold. In this case, as long as we supplement our food with ginger tea at the same temperature, we can improve our fear of cold and warm our hands and feet. Such a conditioning method is to use food bias to adjust the unbalanced state of the body. Hot food can regulate cold constitution. Similarly, cold food can regulate hot constitution.

To sum up, foods have different tastes and different functions, so we must choose foods that strengthen our bodies according to their tastes. Otherwise, improper use of food is not good for your health. According to the different nature and taste of food, these are not only grains with different properties, but also other foods. Knowing this, we will understand how to match the health formula of whole grains. This is the most reasonable way to maintain health and supplement food. When eating other foods, knowing the foods with different attributes can better target people with different constitutions and avoid the situation of blindly supplementing food at will.
