Bread is the pillar of life. People have to eat to survive. Everyone understands this truth. Deep thinking: Why do you have to eat when you are alive? Obviously, many problems are from eating! In this way, you have to eat if you are alive, and you will get sick if you eat. Does that make people eat or not? It's uncomfortable not to eat, and it's uncomfortable to eat!
In fact, the root cause is that we don't understand why and how to eat. If you understand these questions, you will know what eating is for, and you will also know that learning to eat is the best health care.
First of all, eating is the need of the body, and "I" doesn't need it. "I" and my body are not the same thing, although they are closely connected with each other.
The body's demand for food is limited, limited by the capacity of the spleen and stomach. It is my business to like rice. I like the taste buds of my mouth, the sense of smell of my nose and the vision of my eyes. Among them, the capacity of the spleen and stomach is not transferred by the will of "I". You can't eat any more when you are full, although there is still desire in your eyes and nose. But "I" is not limited to these tangible things. In my mind, I can eat whatever I want and eat as much as I want. Therefore, the body and "I" are not the same thing.
Secondly, eating is to maintain the existence of life. What to eat is an expression of my desire. As far as the body is concerned, as long as the spleen and stomach can be digested, it is the nutrition that the body needs. But, "I" no, what I want to eat must be what I like. If the two can be perfectly combined, that is the best. If you blindly satisfy your appetite regardless of your health, it is "illness from your mouth" and you will definitely eat something wrong.
Third, the body should decide what to eat and how much to eat. However, because of the concept or desire of "I", what to eat and how much to eat are often against the body. This is me. I don't know my body.
Careful analysis, there will be many more. But these points are enough to make us realize a basic problem: eating is a matter of the body, and eating should return to the body and life, not in the hands of "I"
Therefore, diet should follow the following principles:
First of all, we should fully understand our body and make clear the life state of our body. Different people have different constitutions, and different constitutions need different diets. The state of the body affects people's digestion and absorption. People with slow metabolism also gain weight by drinking water, while people with high metabolism can't eat fat and are still thin.
The second is to restrain desires and achieve a balanced diet, with thick and thin collocation. Bad eating habits must be changed.
The third is timing and quantification. Usually three meals a day, 50 to 70% full. A regular life conforms to Zhang Chi's way of life. 50% to 70% full will not increase the burden on the body.
The fourth is to eat enough for breakfast, eat well for lunch and eat less for dinner. Breakfast must be eaten, and dinner can be eaten less or not.
The fifth is that one side of the soil and water support one side. Eat more local vegetables and fruits and less foreign ones. Northerners who eat more fruits from the south are bound to get angry. Eat less vegetables and fruits that are out of season. Local cuisine is the wealth acquired by predecessors through years of experience; Just tasting exotic food. For example, Sichuan cuisine adapts to the wet and cold climate in Sichuan and Chongqing, and can drive away cold and dampness, so Chongqing Beauty won't get acne after eating it. But Shandong bosses ate too much Sichuan food, and acne broke out one after another on their faces.
The most important thing about the above words is to understand that eating is a matter for the body, not for me. If you really understand, try to restrain your desires and eat according to your body's needs. Adhere to "eating is a matter of the body", and you can eat a healthy body through eating to achieve the purpose of health preservation. Instead of painfully taking other ways to exercise after eating.
