Koreans like to eat according to color. Red, yellow, green, black and white are the main colors on their table. Five-color diet makes seemingly simple Korean cuisine full of health and wisdom. How to keep healthy with five colors? Koreans have a long history of five-color dietotherapy. They think that red, yellow, green, black and white in nature are the most authentic colors, so they are also the most beneficial to the body. Take kimchi as an example, a simple spicy cabbage covers five colors: white cabbage, onion in ingredients, red pepper sauce, yellow cabbage, and black shrimp sauce. Korean nutritionists point out that different colors of food can treat different diseases, and the darker the color, the better the curative effect. South Korea's five-color diet therapy is also well-founded in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that "five colors enter the five internal organs", red enters the heart, white enters the lungs, black enters the kidneys, green enters the liver and yellow enters the spleen. It means that red food is good for the heart, such as tomatoes, red peppers, pork, mutton, beef and some other red meats. It can also resist fatigue, anti-aging, enrich blood, strengthen the heart and drive away cold. White food can moisten the lungs, such as Sydney, rice flour, tofu, yam, chicken, fish and so on. Eating more can also prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, calm the mood and promote intestinal peristalsis. Yellow can strengthen the spleen, such as egg yolk, millet, papaya, citrus, banana, carrot, soybean, etc. It can provide vitamins A and D, resist oxidation, promote detoxification and delay aging. Green nourishing liver, all kinds of green vegetables and fruits are good food for nourishing liver, and also the main source of vitamins needed by human body. Eating more helps to clean up the stomach, promote growth and detoxify; Black tonify kidney. Black here refers not only to black food, but also to dark food. Eating more purple rice, black sesame seeds, black beans, laver, black fungus and eggplant can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and delay aging. From the perspective of modern nutrition, five-color dietotherapy does have beneficial aspects to human health. Red food is rich in iron, which can cheer up, reduce fatigue and stabilize mood. Especially during menstruation, women lose a lot of iron, so they should eat more red food to supplement iron, such as red dates and cherries. Green food is rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can maintain the pH of the human body and provide a lot of fiber to help clean the stomach. Green vegetables are also the main source of calcium, enjoying the title of "life element", and their reserves are more than milk which is usually considered as "rich in calcium", so eating "green" is regarded as the best way to supplement calcium by nutritionists. Yellow food contains a lot of vitamin C, which can remove toxins from the blood and make the skin smooth and tender. Yellow food helps to cultivate a positive and cheerful mood, and eating more can also prevent cancer. Black food contains a lot of amino acids and trace elements such as iron, zinc, selenium and molybdenum, which has the greatest effect on prolonging life. White food is a collection of protein and calcium, which can replenish energy for the brain and improve the metabolic effect. You should eat more breakfast.
