Grains and grains support people, which is something many people know. But how to eat is a knowledge that must be discussed. For example: Don’t skim away the porridge oil of millet; new grains are more vital than old grains; millet nourish the spleen, soybean nourish the kidneys, rice moisturizes the lungs, wheat nourishes the heart, sorghum nourishes the liver ...
Nowadays, people often eat big fish and meat every meal, but ignore eating more grains. Eating grains can increase cellulose intake and enhance the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract. Thousands of years ago, traditional Chinese medicine pointed out: "Five grains nourish the five internal organs." So, how to nourish the five internal organs in a targeted manner?
Grain nourishes people because it is a "seed"
For people, life without eating grains can continue because there are many foods to choose, but if you want to eat a healthy diet and live a healthy life, you must eat grains frequently. Grain is the general term for seeds such as , rice, millet, sorghum, wheat, beans , etc.
" Huangdi Neijing " points out: "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, and five vegetables are for filling." From planting to harvesting, the roots absorb the nutrients of the earth, and the leaves undergo photosynthesis, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. All life activities are for raising these seeds, and all nutrition is concentrated on the seeds. Therefore, grains are the most nutritious, and the nutrition of grains is the most comprehensive, because a seed is a life.
. It is far from enough to rely solely on protein and fat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the most important thing is to rely on seeds with vitality, and seeds are the source of vitality. The so-called eating grains in traditional Chinese medicine is actually eating all kinds of seeds. In addition to eating, there are also many seeds used in traditional Chinese medicine as medicine, such as cheetah, wolfberry, raspberry , etc.
Some so-called nutrition companies promote the "health concept" of "eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less staple food" is wrong. If people want to obtain comprehensive nutrition, they must eat grains.
