1. Jane is very simple. Simplicity is mainly about not eating too many kinds of food every meal, which is simple and few, rather than "the more miscellaneous the better" as some people say. The ancients said taboo. Why did the ancients pay so much attention to dietary taboos, especially collocation taboos? Traditional Chinese medicine has the theory of "seven emotions", which summarizes the relationship between drugs into seven situations: single line, mutual need, mutual attraction, mutual fear, mutual evil, mutual killing and relative. Some drugs together can enhance the effect, and some drugs together will weaken the effect and even be harmful to the body.

2. The same is true of food. Food has four flavors, and food collocation also has seven emotions. Modern science advocates eating as many kinds of foods as possible for each meal, because their nutritional components can complement each other and their nutrition is more comprehensive. But one truth has been ignored, that is, the more varieties of food, the more difficult it is to ensure the harmony of the five flavors, the more difficult it is to ensure the rationality and safety of food collocation, and the greater the possibility of problems. I don't know if you have noticed that people who live a long life often have a simple diet, and usually there are not many kinds of food to eat at each meal. Nowadays, people tend to eat many kinds of food every meal, and put a lot of ingredients and seasonings in a dish. Although it has achieved delicious results, it has neglected health.

So there is a simple way to avoid unreasonable food mix, that is, eat less varieties every day or every meal. With fewer varieties, there is less danger of disharmony between the five flavors.
