How to eat a balanced diet

In fact, a balanced diet is not as complicated as what is posted on the Internet. The core is not to be partial to a certain type of food for a long time. Try to make the food you eat as rich as possible, and adjust it according to your body condition. There is no need to be precise about the amount of protein per gram of carbohydrate.

Two years ago, when I was working on a project, I ate the braised chicken with rice downstairs for ten days. There were almost no other ingredients except potatoes and chicken. Not only did my gums become swollen for a week, I became constipated to the point of having to take a pill. My physical examination also revealed that my low-density lipoprotein was high. It was then that I realized that eating too much could cause problems.

Oh, by the way, there are quite a lot of controversies about balanced diet on the Internet. Some people say that to be healthy, you must completely give up polished rice and white flour and eat all cereals. A sister who works out around me actually did this. She lost 5% of her body fat in three months, but my aunt delayed it for more than half a month. Later, the doctor asked her to add half a bowl of white rice to each meal, and her cycle became normal in the second month.； Also, my grandma is 82 years old and has eaten white rice all her life. Every meal is a small half bowl of rice with a plate of vegetables and a piece of steamed fish. Her blood pressure and blood lipids are now more stable than many middle-aged people, so there is no universal golden template that suits her stomach and life rhythm.

If you are in a hurry at work, you don’t need to make it complicated. Don’t just nibble on a meat bun in the morning. Take a boiled egg and a small box of Millennium Fruit from the convenience store on the way. The three items together only take 5 minutes. You won’t be hungry and looking for snacks at 10 o’clock in the morning.； You don’t have to feel guilty when you go out for a dinner to have hot pot and barbecue. Instead of just staring at the fat beef and lamb, first hold two chopsticks with green leafy vegetables as a cushion, then eat a few bites of roasted lean beef or boiled shrimp, and finally grab two pieces of corn or eat half a piece of grilled steamed bun as the staple food. It is much more comfortable than filling half a pot of butter soup on an empty stomach.

Some people say that a balanced diet requires 12 ingredients every day and 25 ingredients every week. I tried it for half a month, and every morning I had to add walnuts, sesame seeds, blueberries, and oats to make a paste. It took an extra 20 minutes to prepare the dishes. I gave up after just two weeks. , and later changed to eating differently every day, eating lettuce today, spinach tomorrow, pork ribs this week, sea bass next week, and occasionally eating ice cream and a cup of milk tea when I'm craving for food, it's okay. In total, I can eat more than 20 different ingredients in a week, and the food is much more delicious than when I just try to combine different types of food.

In fact, our body is like a small grocery store in your belly. You have to replenish it with different products from time to time. You can't just replenish mineral water today and instant noodles the next. Only when it has all the supplies can it run well. There is no need to count the calories of each bite with a calculator. It is better to eat happily and feel better after eating than to rigid standards.
