Nutrition is the foundation of health. Eating incorrectly and irregularly is the root cause of most chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and gastrointestinal issues. A diet high in fats, salt, or sugar, as well as having no regular meal times, overeating, or following strict diets, gradually harms the body. Article 63 of the 2024 version of the '66 Health Guidelines for Chinese Citizens' clearly states: reasonable eating, diversity of foods, a combination of grains and cereals, regular meals, and a light diet low in oil, salt, and sugar. Eating well is more effective than any supplement; maintaining a regular eating routine is the most stable way to take care of health.

A reasonable diet focuses on 'balance'.

No single food can contain all nutrients, so it's important to have a varied diet, primarily consisting of grains and a combination of whole and refined foods. Ensure daily consumption of a variety of foods including tubers, vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, eggs, dairy, as well as legumes and nuts. Add a small amount of whole grains, legumes, sweet potatoes, and corn to your main dishes to achieve more complete nutrition, improve gut health, and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Three regular meals a day are the foundation of gastrointestinal health.

Having a good breakfast, a sufficient lunch, and a light dinner, eating at fixed hours and in adequate amounts, avoiding binge eating or skipping meals, and preventing late-night snacks are essential. Not having breakfast can damage the gallbladder, cause hypoglycemia and lead to low energy in the morning; dining too late or too much can overload the digestive system, affect sleep, accumulate fat, and lead to metabolic diseases. Eating regularly is fundamental for the body to function stably and maintain good health.

A light diet is key to a long life.

Eating with little oil, low salt, and little sugar is the simplest and most effective way to prevent chronic diseases.

Little oil: reduce frying and fatty meats, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Low salt: no more than 5 grams per day, staying away from hypertension and stroke.

Low sugar: avoid desserts, milk tea, and snacks to prevent obesity and diabetes.

A light diet does not mean not eating meat, but using few condiments, less processing, and more natural ingredients. Steaming, boiling, stewing, or making salads allows for preserving the original flavor of foods and retaining the maximum nutrients.

At the same time, do not engage in picky eating or dieting, maintain a balanced ratio of meat and vegetables, and keep hunger and fullness moderate. Do not blindly pursue 'internet celebrity diets', do not believe in extreme dieting methods; the healthiest diet is one that suits your body and can be maintained long-term.

Eating is the most important thing in daily life.
