    Confucius said, "eat gastronomes, enjoys incomparable fine", so a lot of people think, even the sage pay attention to eat refined grains essence, it must be right. In fact, this is the first emphasized in the process of eating calmly, also the necessary of keeping in good health. Second, in the era of Confucius fine pursuit, is also a kind of nutrition of a balanced diet.
 
    Need not only fine, food processing, but also need to eat slowly, to get food nutrition, and, more importantly, the chewing process of "processing" of this kind of body, can people willing to spend time, certainly not greed, "full centre" because of the time of the brain nerve reflex, but enough to feel satisfied, this issue is no longer eat neural command.
 
    Therefore, a key factors to modern health is to eat slowly and in accordance with the current nutrition rules, each can chew 30 times at best, like chewing must avoid dramatic lead to overeating, but few can do it. Nutritionists against fast food now, encourage to eat coarse grains, on the one hand, because fast food quantity of heat is high, and, more importantly, because of difficult and time-consuming to chew, coarse grains is easier to let the brain feel satisfied. Don't understand modern nutriology, Confucius time but he calmly philosophy of life is still can make hi to health food.
 
    If a person has to eat refined grains, that he should increase the proportion of coarse grains to dietary changes. On the contrary, too, if always eat whole grains, is likely to cellulose intake enough, but the lack of protein, he needs to eat more refined grains and lean meat. Confucius in that era, he proposed a "great gastronomes", is because the food is too fine enough, "incomparable" belongs to a pursuit of life. Conversely, if like we, surrounded by fine food, already tired.
 
    So, in coarse grains in life, have a few small grain essence is absolutely appropriate nutrition proportion, this rule applies to so far, only our equilibrium cycle is not life, but a week, both element and the thickness, it is best to checking in this week. Such as the first half of the week or a noon to eat and drink, and a half weeks after or in the evening, you should go home to eat, eat more points, so that more conducive to the balance of nutrition.
