In terms of choosing a dip, people who are prone to fire should not choose spicy oil, but should choose the sesame sauce with the highest nutritional value, which can provide a large amount of calcium and vitamin E, which is more suitable for patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
Meat and vegetarian combination is reasonable. The ratio of meat to vegetables is 1:2. The types of vegetables are as diverse as possible, such as choosing spinach, broccoli, lettuce, rape, etc., which are of greater benefit to the body; in addition, mushroom algae foods are also very good, not only to clean the digestive tract, but also to help lose weight; soy products, sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, etc. are also very nutritious.

Meat food must be thoroughly cooked, otherwise it is easy to enter the stomach and intestines with bacteria and parasite eggs with food and lead to gastrointestinal diseases.
