Whole grains and whole grains: nutrition in staple foods

Staple food is the main source of carbohydrates.

The staple food should not be discontinued at will

According to the recommendation of "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016)", carbohydrates should provide 50%-65% of the energy required by the human body for a day

Carbohydrates are one of the three essential energy-producing nutrients for the human body.

Whole grains and whole grains are more nutritious

In the choice of staple food, some people love rice, some people love pasta, and the nutritional components of various staple foods are not the same

What kind of staple food is responsible for nutrition? Chen Chen said that from a nutritional point of view, it is more recommended to add a certain proportion of whole grains or whole grains as staple foods, including oats, black rice, corn, red beans, sweet potatoes, etc.

Coarse and fine grains are good for eating

Whole grains are so good, can you eat them all at once? Chen Chen emphasized that it is not simply and rude that coarse grains are necessarily better than refined grains

On the other hand, whether you choose coarse grains or refined grains, do not choose a single staple food

For the staple food pairing of each meal, Chen Chen said that from a nutritional point of view, "coarse and fine grain matching" is more recommended, which can effectively increase nutrition while ensuring the taste.

At the same time, the combination of staple food and non-staple food should also be considered
