And broadcast on social platforms:
Explanation of the verification:
13 of the 15 types are whole grains, which make up just one of the 6 categories.
MyGoPen called Sun Rong, a nutritionist at Taiwan Adventist Hospital, and she said:Among the 15 kinds of vegetables mentioned in the rumor, “carrot” is a vegetable among the six main categories of nutrients, and “edamame” is a protein. With the exception of these two, which are not starchy foods, the others are all starchy foods.For example, “peas” are one of the tri-colored beans used in fried rice. Peas are also starches. Sun Rong pointed out that 13 of the 15 types of foods are whole grains. These unrefined starches are rich in vitamin B. E, minerals and dietary fiber. The main function of vitamin B is to aid in energy metabolism, help maintain healthy skin and muscles, and also increase the function of the immune system and nervous system. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and can protect the cardiovascular system; ; dietary fiber can help with intestinal peristalsis, help regulate the intestinal lining, maintain intestinal health, etc.Whole grains can maintain your health and improve your immunity, but you should not eat too much of them to cause a dietary imbalance. All types of food should be consumed in moderation so as not to burden the body.
Tips to help you remember a balanced food intake on your daily plate
Sun Rong pointed out that according to the “Daily Dietary Guidelines” issued by the National Health Service of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, it is recommended that the diet cover six major categories of foods, including (1) whole grains, (2) beans, fish, eggs, meat, (3) dairy, (4) vegetables, (5) fruits, (6) oils, nuts and seeds, and recommended servings are provided for all seven Caloric needs, which means that the six main categories of nutrients must be absorbed in a balanced manner. If people have trouble remembering, they can use “My Plate Formula” as a daily diet suggestion. As long as you eat according to portions, you can eat all kinds. of food and absorb all kinds of nutrients without having to eat. I’m obsessed with the different starchy foods mentioned in the rumors because.Although the examples cited in the rumors all involve good, unrefined starch, if too much emphasis is placed on starch and whole grains, it may not be possible to consider other foods in the six main categories.the rumors mentioned concern almost all whole grains. According to the daily dietary guidelines, “rice is as much as vegetables,” “at least 1/3 is unrefined whole grains,” and “vegetables are more than fruits,” “Every meal. of fruit is as big as a fist. ” In other words, the amount of starch in each meal is approximately a little larger than a fist, and it should be noted that 1/3 of them are whole grains. If it is difficult to By doing this in one meal, people can replace one meal of the day with whole grains.
Vitamin D, minerals and proteins also contribute to immunity
Sun Rong said that whole grains account for the largest proportion and the highest intake in the “Daily Dietary Guidelines”. They mainly provide energy. The general public often hears regarding nutrients that boost immunity, such as citrus fruits containing vitamin C, kiwis. , guava, etc., or pumpkins, carrots, etc. rich in vitamin A. But actually, there are many nutrients that can improve immunity, but these are the ones that people often talk regarding.There are many other vitamins and minerals that can improve immunity, but people don’t think regarding them first, according to the National Health Administration.“Eating protects during the epidemic”Point out that vitamin D can help the immune system function and that the minerals zinc, selenium, copper and iron can participate in the body’s metabolism and regulate immune cells.。
In addition, Sun Rong also added that when it comes to immunity, ordinary people often don’t think regarding protein, but in fact, protein also has the effect of strengthening immunity. Protein is an important raw material for the body’s immune system. If there is a lack of protein, the immune system will deteriorate, increasing the risk of colds or other illnesses. Protein is “a handful of beans, fish, eggs and meat” in the daily diet plan. be consumed at every meal.
Sun Rong pointed out that various nutrients have their own effects and values, but perhaps more people talk regarding vitamin C, so everyone knows it better and thinks regarding it intuitively. Unrefined whole grains are good starchy foods, but they should still be eaten in moderation.The rumors only focus on one type among the six major categories. This statement is easily misleading.。
in conclusion
Rumor has it that “the favorite staple food for immunity is…” Lists 15 types of foods, 13 of which are whole grains. Experts say whole grains are rich in various vitamins useful for the immunity. However, according to experts and the National Health Administration.“Eating protects during the epidemic”According to the advertisement, vitamins A, B, C, D and E, as well as the minerals zinc, selenium, copper and iron, can help the functioning of the immune system. Vitamins B and E from whole grains aren’t the only useful ones. Rumors Only The emphasis on whole grains is a message that is easily misunderstood.
