Traditional Chinese medicine health care: Coarse tea and light meals are better than medicinal supplements

　　Although technology is becoming more and more developed now, the things we eat in our diet are becoming more and more refined, which gradually makes us stay away from the days of simple meals. In fact, this is not a good phenomenon. Regularly eating finely processed foods will cause a lot of discomfort in certain parts of our bodies. At the same time, eating too much of those foods will not be of much benefit to our bodies. It will affect the normal functions of the body anyway, so we should not leave it alone.

　　Interpretation of crude tea

　　Crude tea refers to thicker and older tea leaves. Compared with new tea, although crude tea is bitter and astringent, it contains tea polyphenols, tea tannins and other substances that are beneficial to the body. Tea polyphenols are a natural antioxidant that can inhibit the damage caused by free radicals in the human body and have anti-aging effects.

　　It can also block the damage caused to the body by carcinogens such as nitrosamines. Tea tannins can lower blood lipids, prevent arteriosclerosis, keep blood vessels open, and maintain the normal functions of heart and brain blood vessels. In addition, tea polyphenols can alleviate and reduce the symptoms of diabetes, and have the effects of lowering blood lipids and lowering blood pressure.

　　Therefore, from a nutritional point of view, expensive new tea is not necessarily better than cheap coarse tea and old tea. Coarse tea is more suitable for the elderly to drink.

　　Interpretation of light rice

　　Light rice is not what people think of as whole grains or vegetarian food. It has two meanings: first, it is light but not salty. Eating too much salt can easily cause osteoporosis and high blood pressure. Long-term eating too salty can also lead to stroke and heart disease. Second, it is light but not greasy. It includes cereals and vegetables, as well as chicken, duck, fish, beef, etc. with low fat content.

　　In other words, the correct way to drink "coarse tea and light rice" is to mainly eat vegetables and other plant foods, pay attention to a mixture of grains, beans, and rice and noodles, and appropriately supplement it with a variety of animal foods including meat, and often drink coarse tea. Therefore, for health-preserving sayings circulated among the people, do not practice them based on partial knowledge, but consider their scientific meaning.

　　Many people have eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and have begun to miss the simple life of the past, so now the richer the people, the more they eat farm food. It can be seen that eating simple food is really indispensable in our lives!
