Whole grains

In addition to being the staple food, the companion of satiety, and the main source of vitality for Chinese people, whole grains also have many benefits for the human body. In the food pyramid of the Chinese population's dietary structure, bread, cereals, rice, and noodles account for 50% to 60% of the food proportion. The nutrients in whole grains are very rich, and the fiber and minerals in them are several times higher than those in ordinary white rice. They are also rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and other trace elements.
Whole grains are the main source of dietary fiber, and many whole grains contain unsaturated fatty acids that can lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, they can provide most of the essential nutrients for the human body and are considered to be a group of nutritious foods. Whole grains are the cornerstone of a healthy diet. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, scholars have been constantly studying the nutrients in whole grains and incorporating them into traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine, and they can be combined with other food and medicinal ingredients to enhance the benefits to the human body.
Vegetables
Choose green leafy vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as lettuce, lotus root, carrots, celery, amaranth, cauliflower, etc. They can enhance gastric juice secretion, improve appetite, and have analgesic effects.
Vegetables are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C and vitamin A. However, vitamin C is lost in large quantities during cooking. The darker green or yellow the vegetables are, the more vitamin A and vitamin C they contain. In addition, some vegetables contain rich alkaline minerals such as potassium, calcium, sodium, and iron, which can stabilize the acid-base balance in the blood and are important sources of nutrients for children's growth.
Ganoderma Lucidum products
Ganoderma lucidum, which is only found in Taiwan, can improve liver cell function. If patients with cirrhosis take Ganoderma lucidum tablets made from hundreds of years old Ganoderma lucidum in the morning and evening, it can directly act on the damaged liver, repair liver cell function, and reduce cell degeneration and mutation. The polysaccharides and triterpenes in Ganoderma lucidum have significant effects in inhibiting liver cell degeneration and proliferation. It also contains adenosine, which can lower cholesterol and fat content and is also effective in preventing fatty liver and cirrhosis.

1. Diversify the diet
Mix foods with different nutrients, and combine meat and vegetables to improve nutritional value.
2. Rice and flour as the main staple food
Consume 350-400g per day to increase liver glycogen content, protect and promote liver cell regeneration.
