Diet
Is a Key Point of Life
President of International
Martial Arts Federation, Dr. Che Cheng Chiang
In daily life everyone
pays much attention to his food and drink. As a Chinese saying goes, when you
get up in the morning and open your door, you are concerned about seven things:
fuel, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, each relating to food and drink.
Because of progress of civilization, human being changed from eating raw flesh
of birds and beasts in the ancient time to enjoying deliciously cooked food with
good color, good smell and good taste. Progress in eating is an expression of
human civilization. Vegetarian, no matter for religious reason or non-religious
reason, benefits to health. But you should eat less vegetarian fish and
vegetarian meat or other refrigerated foods, which contain manufactured
additives and other chemicals.
What Foods Are Good?
Eating fine white rice can benefit digestion of stomach and intestines. But fine
rice contains small amount of residence of agricultural chemicals and mercury
powder. It is better for you to eat rough brown rice instead of fine white rice,
or add one third brown rice to white rice, or add two tenth of wheat to white
rice, you can, in this way, promote digestion and excretion. Because there are
often waste gases and thirty materials in stomach and intestine, you should eat
more fresh vegetables and fruits, and seaweed and small fish that rich in
protein. The adhesive material in seaweed can help quickly excrete the wastes in
the body, such as cholesterol and uric acid. Above-mentioned diet is more
effective than health products and pills in keeping the body healthy.
Some Points about Diet.
In
daily life, food eaten into mouth will normally be excreted in eight to twelve
hours. If you eat only steak and other meats everyday without eating vegetables,
it will take you three times more time, even seventy-two hours, to excrete the
eaten foods. So I suggest you eat more fish instead of meat, as it takes twelve
hours to excrete. If you eat only easily digested foods, such as vegetables,
fruit, and other vegetarian foods, it takes only eight hours to excrete. It has
been proven that eating more meat will cause disorder in digestive system and
excretion system. Waste materials remaining in blood vessels for a long time
will become smelly, bring disorder of metabolism, causing vascular sclerosis and
blockage of blood vessels, accumulating cholesterol and uric acid. These
disorders can lead to heart trouble, high blood pressure, diabetes, and
rheumatic arthritis, even lead to serious diseases, such as stroke and cancer,
and death. Everyone should take less salt and white sand sugar, you can eat
black sand sugar, crystal sugar and honey, instead of white sand sugar. You
should eat as little as possible, mold food containing harmful material, smoked
food, salted food, and food containing much fat. You should eat less food
containing preservatives and chemicals, stale food, and canned food; you should
take less above-mentioned foods in order to prevent illness or cancer. Moreover
you should not go to bed within three hours after dinner, in order to prevent
obesity.
It is Good to Drink Some Wine Everyday.
Alcohol not only promote circulation of blood and improves metabolism, but also
expand coronary artery of heart and benefits circulation of blood in heart,
supplying enough nutrition and oxygen to heart. It has been proved that wine and
beer benefit human body. If you drink a small amount of beer each day, it can
strengthen bladder's ability to shrink, facilitate passing water, dissolve
accumulated stone in bladder and excrete the stone, in this way your urinary
organ can be kept from aging. Both men and women of middle age and old age can
drink a small amount of wine and beer to reduce danger of heart attack. Beer and
wine containing diuretic and other herbs are better than tonics.
Cellulose Is Important.
Cellulose is a matter that is not nutritious and cannot be decomposed by
digestive system. There are two types of celluloses: one that can be absorbed
and the other that cannot be absorbed. Unabsorbed one can help bowel to move,
reducing risk of colon cancer and hemorrhoid. Foods containing unabsorbed
cellulose are: malt sugar, rice sugar, fruit and leaves of vegetables. Absorbed
cellulose can reduce amount of cholesterol and lower the risk of heart diseases,
and control effectively blood sugar. Absorbed cellulose is usually found in
oaks, beans, vegetables and fruits. As cellulose absorbs a lot of water, so when
you take in cellulose, you should drink more water (one person needs 6-8 glasses
of water a day). One person needs 20-30 grams of cellulose a day to help bowel
movement and keep the body healthy.
