We live in a world where fast food dominates, but our bodies are trapped in the Stone Age

Bowl of right dietary food

In order to be healthy, everyone must have a little knowledge of nutrition. If doctors learn nutrition, they will be even more powerful; if ordinary people learn nutrition, they will benefit for life.
I carefully asked about the living habits of the patients who came to see me. With the accumulation of more and more cases in the clinic, gradually realize that the causes of different patients have a lot in common. The most concentrated problem is poor eating habits. 

There is no specific recipe in this book, but it tells you how to eat, and gives you the principles and standards of healthy eating, and helps you learn from one another.

In a person's life, most of the cells in the body are constantly renewing and repairing damage through regeneration. This life is a process of continuous self-repair of cells. The essence of illness is that the speed of reporting damage exceeds the speed of cell repair. Quoted from the fact that we live in a world where fast food dominates, but our bodies are trapped in the Stone Age.

So, what factors affect cell repair? 

The answer is unhealthy mentality or unreasonable diet, exercise, sleep and other lifestyles.

Medical workers say [chronic disease/chronic non-communicable disease], such as common coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, tumor, depression, bronchitis, asthma, chronic kidney disease and other diseases are caused by inappropriate lifestyle of. Chronic diseases stem from various imbalances, such as lack of sleep, long-term smoking, heavy drinking, inactivity or excessive exercise, imbalanced diet, too much stress, and so on.

Chronic disease is caused by wrong behavior, and correcting wrong behavior is the root. When a person sits in front of the computer for a long time, smokes cigarettes one after another, and feels like a living god, when he is unrestricted in pursuit of deliciousness and enjoys it, when he stays up late and works overtime to create a brilliant life, his health is changing little by little deviation from the normal track. At this time, there will be some sub-health states, which are the distress signals that the body sends to us, such as fatigue, pain, allergies, cough, constipation, diarrhea, increased blood pressure, blood sugar... At this time, the wrong lifestyle should be corrected. Solve the cause of the problem, work regularly, increase exercise, quit smoking and alcohol, etc. The way to cut the numbness with a sharp knife is actually helpless, such as taking medicine, suppressing the symptoms, coughing with cough medicine, constipation with laxatives, high blood pressure, antihypertensive medicine, high blood sugar, insulin needle stick, heart bypass, blood vessel Stent placement, thrombolysis, tumor removal...

[Diet] 

Importance: In the game of cell damage and repair, only diet can provide raw materials for cell repair. Here comes the point!

[Seven nutrients in food]

【A balanced diet】

The selected food meets people's needs for energy and nutrients. People consume energy every day for cell metabolism, new cell renewal, metabolic mediators, intestinal bacterial balance and so on. Therefore, in order to consume various nutrients, to achieve a nutritionally balanced/balanced diet, one must figure out how much one consumes and use this as the standard for food intake. Generally speaking,It is 1,400 kcal/day for men and 1,300 kcal/day for women.

In summary, what do the seven nutrients do for cells? 

• First, it provides energy for cell metabolism. 
• Second, provide structural raw materials for the renewal of new cells. 
• Third, provide a medium for metabolism. 
• Fourth, raise intestinal bacteria.

Specifically:

1. Carbohydrates/food, fruits, can provide energy for cells

2. Proteins and lipids/meat, eggs, milk, and fish can become cell structures

3. Protein and cholesterol/vitamins, minerals can regulate cell metabolism

4. Dietary fiber in food can nourish intestinal flora

(a). Dietary fiber is divided into soluble dietary fiber and insoluble dietary fiber 

(b). Carbohydrates/sugars, including glucose, fructose, maltose, starch, etc. 

(c). Protein is divided into essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids 

(d). Lipids, divided into fats and lipids, fat/triglycerides, divided into essential fatty acids and non-essential fatty acids; lipids, including phospholipids, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, glycolipids 

(e). Vitamins are divided into fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins 

(f). Minerals are divided into macro elements and trace elements 

(g). Water
