How to eat staple foods healthier? Over the years, the number of people with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease around us has been increasing, largely because our eating habits have changed a lot compared to before. So, how should we eat staple foods to be healthier? Today Dr. Zhang will give you a careful interpretation of this problem.
To answer this question, I want to use our country's latest guidelines on lifestyle to explain to you, just last year, Academician Gu Dongfeng of Beijing Fuwai Cardiovascular Disease Hospital led by Chinese medical experts in various fields to formulate a guide on the way of life of the Chinese people, this guide pointed out that because of the huge changes in lifestyle, the people of our country eat more fine grain, eat more meat food, and the intake of cereals and potatoes is decreasing. This has led to a decrease in people's intake of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Increasing the intake of grain and potato foods in the people's diet has become an important problem. This guideline suggests that we can pay attention to appropriately reducing the intake of fine foods in the case of total energy standards of staple foods, while paying attention to increasing the intake of cereals and potatoes, it is recommended that the average adult consumes 250 to 400g of cereals and potatoes per day (half a kilogram - eight two), of which whole grain foods, such as oats, corn and other coarse grains, can eat 50 to 150g (1-3 two) per day, potatoes 50 to 100g (1-2 two).
At the same time, the guide also specifically proposes that when cooking, try to "thick and thin", for example, rice can be made with brown rice, mixed grains (millet, corn and oats, etc.) and miscellaneous beans (red adzuki beans, mung beans and kidney beans, etc.), because this can increase the intake of whole grains.
I hope that Dr. Zhang's introduction today can give everyone a clearer understanding of how we should eat staple foods to be healthier. Hope this article can help more people.
