Briefly discuss the difference between nutrition and diet. What principles should be followed in die

Nutrition is the whole process of ingesting food from the outside world, digesting, absorbing and metabolizing it to meet the body's needs to maintain life activities.

Dietary therapy: It is through the conditioning of food to control or ** some diseases. Dietary therapy should know the pharmacology, taboos, effects, and functions of some foods.

A healthy and nutritious diet should follow the following scientific principles:

1. Diversify food.

Eat a variety of foods and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, such as broccoli, spinach, celery, strawberries, kiwifruit, dragon fruit, etc.

2. Eat lightly.

The diet should be light, less salt, less oil and less sugar, remember: fat is not a blessing, and a thick waist is not a demeanor, but a manifestation of disease. Fried, smoked, and pickled foods should be eaten sparingly or not at all.

3. Exercise moderately.

Exercise can strengthen physical fitness, while also helping to regulate mental balance, effectively eliminate stress, relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety, and improve sleep. It is recommended to walk at least 6,000 steps a day.

4. Eat some nuts every day.

Nuts contain many nutrients, which are necessary for the body and are beneficial to health, and the daily intake of nuts today is about 30g. Nuts can choose peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts and other common foods this time.

5. Drink enough water.

Water is the source of life, 65% of the adult's body is water, I believe everyone has heard such a sentence: women are made of water, which shows how much water accounts for in the human body.

It is recommended to drink 2L of water every day, a small amount of water many times, and the amount of water each time is about 200ml.

A healthy and nutritious diet should follow the scientific principles as follows:

Principle 1: Abandon distractions and concentrate on eating.

People who are distracted during meals do not realize that they are full until they are full, but have eaten a lot during this time. Avoiding looking at mobile phones, computers, and TV during meals can also fully experience the feeling of eating, satisfying your appetite and the pleasure of eating, which also helps to distinguish between "real hunger" and "hunger triggered by factors such as boredom".

Principle 2: Don't completely restrict any food.

Any food, including cakes, can be part of your diet as long as it's not overdosed. If you keep telling yourself that you can't eat a certain food, you may crave or become obsessed with that food even more. If you give up the food and feel guilty if you accidentally eat it, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the pleasure of eating.

ricePrinciple 3: Plan ahead.

Healthy eating doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, but it needs to be planned ahead. For example, according to the needs of healthy nutrition, plan your diet for the week in advance, carefully plan your shopping list, and prepare breakfast for the next day on the first night. Doing so can also help you find out what's wrong with your diet.

An unplanned diet is not conducive to a balanced diet and can also lead to excessive calorie intake.

Principle 4: Prioritize breakfast.

Breakfast is essential for kick-starting your metabolism and keeping your brain active. However, most people spend the least amount of time on breakfast and have no plan to speak of. Studies have shown that eating a good breakfast can help maintain a healthy weight and meet your body's nutritional needs.

Principle 5: Pay attention to intestinal health and supplement probiotics.

Feeling tired and sluggish from time to time and losing weight may be related to intestinal health. The balance of gut microbiota is closely related to diabetes, mental health, and weight. Probiotics are beneficial for balancing the intestinal flora and improving intestinal digestion and can be supplemented by drinking yogurt or probiotic drinks.

The first principle of a healthy and nutritious diet is to eat the appropriate amount of food, neither more nor less, because from a nutritional point of view, there is a tolerable maximum intake, and the recommended intake, if you eat too much food during the diet, it will cause many nutrients to exceed the standard, and then increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. If you eat too little food, it can lead to nutrient deficiencies.

The second principle of healthy diet is that the proportion between various foods should also be appropriate, if cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, such a variety of foods do not have a suitable range, it will cause a certain type of food too much, other foods too little intake, in terms of nutrient metabolism will produce an imbalance, is also not conducive to health.

Healthy Eating Methods

Eat more vegetables and fruits Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as a lot of fiber, insist on eating a little vegetables and fruits every 2-3 hours every day, you can feel full and reduce the intake of other high-calorie foods.

Eat less fried food Many girls like to eat fried food very much, such as French fries, fried chicken and various fried skewers on the street, the taste of fried food is certainly very fragrant, which makes people love it, but this is also the killer of **, a little fried food contains a lot of oil and fatty acids.

The effect of dieting for a few days is gone, so girls who love beauty must control their mouths and eat less fried food.

The meaning of food therapy: Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "medicine in food" and "medicine and food are of the same origin", and "food therapy" is the meaning of the name, that is, food ** or diet **. According to each person's different physique or different conditions, select food with a certain health care effect or ** effect, and through reasonable cooking and processing, it becomes a delicious food with a certain color, aroma, taste and shape.

"Diet therapy" is not only a delicacy, but also has the ability to nourish the body, prevent and cure diseases, eat healthy, and prolong life. Our ancestors combined "food nourishment" and "disease prevention and treatment" with each other, and dissolved them into one, which can replenish energy and cure them, and created "Chinese food therapy". , the relationship between dietary therapy and medicinal diet:

The concepts of "dietary therapy" and "medicinal diet" are often confused, and "dietary therapy" and "medicinal diet" are both different and related.

"Diet therapy" is a discipline that studies health care, disease prevention and treatment, and longevity, "diet therapy" is not added to drugs, and "medicinal diet" is food plus medicine, which is a meal containing pharmaceutical ingredients, so that the bitter medicine becomes a delicious delicacy. "Medicinal diet" is on the basis of the traditional "diet therapy", further combining food and medicine, using traditional dietary cooking technology and modern processing methods, made of color, fragrance, taste and shape, with the effect of nourishing the body and preventing disease, and prolonging life.

"Medicinal diet" includes: medicinal vegetables, medicinal porridge, medicinal wine, medicinal tea, etc. Strictly speaking, "medicinal diet" belongs to one of the pharmaceutical dosage forms, but this dosage form has various forms and varieties, and can be divided into the following according to the functional classification

Nourishing qi and strengthening the spleen, nourishing blood and nourishing camp, nourishing yin and nourishing Jin, helping yang and kidney, calming the nerves and intellect, appetizing and eliminating food, dissipating cold in warmth, regulating qi and relieving pain, invigorating blood and removing stasis, calming the liver and quenching wind, dissolving the surface and dissipating evil, dispelling phlegm and relieving cough, clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and dampness, diluting water and reducing swelling, moistening the intestines and laxative, etc.

"Medicinal diet" is developed on the basis of dietary therapy, which can be said to be "medicinal therapy" plus "dietary therapy", so it is called "medicinal dietary therapy". The history of "Medicinal Dietetics" has gone through a development process from scratch and from simple to complex, and it is an ancient and emerging clinical practical discipline, which is favored by people from all walks of life at home and abroad.

Health care and health care should be taken as soon as possible and according to the situation. If you ask about the root of dietary therapy, a balanced diet is the most important.

Diet is the source of nutrients for the body, and it is an indispensable condition for maintaining the growth and development of the human body, completing various physiological functions, and ensuring the survival of life. "Hanshu Li Shiqi Biography" said:"The people live on food"That's what it means.

The ancients have long recognized the important relationship between diet and life. They have accumulated rich knowledge and valuable experience in long-term practice, and have gradually formed a set of dietary and health preservation theories with Chinese national characteristics, which have played a huge role in ensuring people's health.

The purpose of dietary therapy is to supplement nutrition reasonably and moderately, so as to nourish the essence and qi, and correct the bias of yin and yang in the viscera through dietary adjustment, so as to improve the health of the body, anti-aging and prolong life. Since diet is necessary for people, and improper diet is most likely to affect health, food nourishment is an important part of TCM health preservation.

The relationship between therapeutic and medicinal diet: The concepts of "dietary therapy" and "medicinal diet" are often confused, and "dietary therapy" and "medicinal diet" are both different and related.

Diet is the maintenance of the human body.

The material basis of life activities is the source of the nourishment of the human body's internal organs and limbs. A reasonable diet can enable people to obtain all aspects of nutrition, prevent the occurrence of various diseases, and promote the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that "the treatment of diseases should be based on medicinal skills, and food supplements can be used to recuperate, and medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements", so diet occupies an important position in the process of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine.

Diet therapy is generally in the body after the appearance of certain diseases, with the assistance of the program, and the diet health function is generally to strengthen the body, enhance the physique, prevent the occurrence of a diet mode, the two are different, simply put, one is to cure the disease, the other is to prevent the disease.

The food culture of the world is colorful, and China's food culture is profound and extensive. China's food culture can be classified from various perspectives such as era and technique, region and economy, ethnicity and religion, food and utensils, consumption and level, folk customs and function. It involves the development and utilization of food sources, the application and innovation of food utensils, the production and consumption of food, the service and reception of catering, the operation and management of catering industry and food industry, as well as the relationship between food and national peace and security, food and literature and art, food and life realm.

Food therapy is a traditional habit of Chinese. In various ethnic groups and regions in our country, the culture of dietary therapy has a long history, and through the long-term health behavior of dietary therapy, people achieve the purpose of conditioning the body and strengthening the body.

It should be about the local food culture and the principle of the emergence of this culture, as well as some healthy foods**, different food combinations made for the body.

Food culture is about the origin and development of food, as well as its importance in life, food therapy and health care mainly about the attributes of food, and what kind of conditioning effect does different combinations of food play on the human body.

Food culture is a culture that pays attention to drinking and eating; Food therapy is a culture that pays attention to food and therapy to balance the yin and yang of the human body.

Diet originally referred to the nutritional and nourishing effects of food, and later expanded to rational selection, preparation, and use of meals to maintain health. The concept of TCM food and nutrition is aimed at non-disease groups, which fully embodies the idea of TCM prevention first, and is an academic study of reasonable diet to give full play to the role of nutrition and health care.

Diet therapy refers to the action of food. Therefore, the concept of TCM diet therapy is aimed at people who have fallen ill, embodies the idea that TCM food is homologous and food precedes medicine, and is an academic study of the use of appropriate food, or the use of food with medicine, through daily diet. The role and importance of dietary therapy are highly summarized in the "Qianjin Fang" of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty

If you can use food to calm the sick and relieve the sick, it can be described as a good work......When you must first understand the source of the disease, know what it has committed, treat it with food, and then order medicine. This sentence tells us that food can dispel evil and health care, nourish the body's qi and blood, and if people who can cure diseases with food alone can be called wise doctors. The general rule of treatment is to understand the disease, understand the condition, and then use food to treat it first, and then use medicine if the food is not good.

In addition, it should be emphasized that although dietary therapy is effective, it should not be blindly substituted for medicine. Because although food also has the effect of correcting the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, its bias is always less obvious than that of medicine, so simple dietary therapy is mainly suitable for the early stage or recovery period of mild diseases, or the remission period of chronic diseases. After all, the drug is more biased, and the disease effect is much stronger than the food.

From the perspective of comparison between Chinese and Western medicine, the focus of Chinese medicine is mainly to regulate the qi of yin and yang in and out of the viscera, focusing on the whole but the local pertinence is insufficient; Western medicine emphasizes targeted targets**, but it lacks in the overall regulation of systemic functions. The cooperation of the two, each with its own strengths, can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is precisely the reason why for certain diseases, especially chronic diseases, can reduce the dosage of Western medicine after combining TCM dietary therapy.

However, if the drug is blindly stopped and only maintained with diet and dietary therapy, it will inevitably lead to a short-term condition. In this case, the correct approach should be to gradually reduce the dosage of Western medicine according to the condition of the condition, and strive to minimize the dosage of Western medicine or simply use dietary therapy to control the recovery through a slow process.

It can be seen that diet therapy and diet are two completely different categories. Because the fundamental principle of TCM treatment is to "regulate yin and yang, and correct the deviation (of the human body) with (medicine and food), that is to say, the bias of various ** media is used to correct the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body that has been biased, so that it can restore the normal state of yin and yang balance. If a healthy person takes a dietary prescription, due to the obvious bias of the dietary prescription, it will not only fail to play a health care role, but also break the original balance of yin and yang and lead to diseases.

Therefore, health practitioners must distinguish which are dietary prescriptions and which are dietary prescriptions, and when they usually see relevant information, they must carefully understand their functions and scope of application, and must not use them indiscriminately.
