As the saying goes, because of the geographical environment, climatic conditions, living customs and other factors around the world, people's diet varies greatly. Even in the same country, eating habits will be very different.
For thousands of years, China has been dominated by agricultural civilization, forming a diet structure with food grains as the main food, vegetables and fruits as the auxiliary, and meat and eggs as the supplement. According to the Yellow Emperor's internal Scripture, "five grains are for keeping, five fruits for helping, five vegetables for filling and five livestock for proper use.". In the daily diet, cereal food is the basis of human survival, fruit can assist the daily diet, in the case of not enough to eat, vegetables can be used as filling, to achieve a sense of fullness, if there is still a little meat to eat, it will be better.
The ancient dietary suggestions put forward by Huangdi's Internal Canon are based on the local geography, climate, natural and cultural environment at that time. Today, it also has reference significance.
When we enlarge our vision, we find that many eating habits have been formed, from the vast minority areas to today's Europe and America, due to the influence of geography, climate, culture and other factors. For example, in areas where there is a lack of large-scale cultivated land or climate conditions are not suitable, it is impossible to form a strong farming culture like the Central Plains of the Han nationality. Correspondingly, they have formed animal husbandry culture or fishery culture. The characteristics of these cultures are also reflected in the diet of these areas today.
For example, in European and American countries, although there are grains and grains in their diet, their dietary methods are different from those in the East. They seldom cook, and more choose to bake bread; in the choice of non-staple food, they choose more beef, fish and milk as supplements; in some coastal countries, they will form a diet characterized by rich seafood.
Since modern times, with the frequent communication between China and the west, the Western way of eating has begun to infiltrate into our lives. But in some people's opinion, Western diet is unhealthy, Asian people are not suitable for Western diet, or Western diet is not nutritious, high in calories, etc.
In fact, when it comes to food, it's a good thing to have a variety of food. Eating a different diet does not harm your health because of different races. For example, if an East Asian lives in Europe as a child, he or she will form a diet different from that of the East Asian people, which will not prevent the child from normal growth or health crisis because of the different race.
There is no region in the world where the diet is absolutely healthy. Today we think that the so-called healthy Japanese diet and Mediterranean diet are only relatively healthy. In fact, our Oriental diet, such as fried dough sticks, sugar triangle, fried noodles, etc., can not meet the requirements of diversified food and balanced diet in nutrition. In the Western diet, there is also a kind of less healthy way to eat, such as French fries, which are similar to fried chips.
Finally, Xiao Xiaoshi wants to tell you that every region's diet has its advantages and disadvantages. A really good eating habit is formed by oneself, which is to follow the scientific concept of nutrition of food diversity and dietary balance. In the face of science, food is equal. Whether the dietary structure is healthy or not depends on the choice and collocation of each of us.
