When Ren Qiang was concentrating on practicing the seventy-two changes, he found that there was something wrong with the villains. I can't say exactly where it is.

After carefully observing for a few days, I found that the villains ate a lot of wild fruits, beasts, fish, and meat, and they were tall, and their bodies were not thin, but their complexions were not very good-looking, unlike the children in their previous lives, who were full of red light and health.

It seems that there is a lack of some kind of nutrition, and he can't figure out what it is.

He was troubled for a while, restless, and couldn't do anything to lift his spirits. Not to mention practicing spells and writing articles.

"No, we have to figure this out and find a solution. Otherwise, I won't be able to practice Xuangong with peace of mind. ”

Ren Qiang admonished himself.

In his sorrow, he thought of Mumaru-kun, and of the bookcase full of all kinds of books on the wall.

"Why don't you ask Mumaru-kun, or check the relevant books!"

At night, when the villains fell asleep, Ren Qiang's mind flashed into the Mud Pill Palace.

Muyamaru-kun greeted him in a loud voice.

"Hey, I said Mud Pill-kun, last time you said, you can give me some reference opinions based on the information, and I can also come in and look it up for myself, right?" Ren Qiang said with some unease. This is a new thing after all, and he is still a little unsure.

"Yes. This is your own Mud Pill Palace, and you have absolute rights. Mumaru-kun replied happily.

"So, can you help me find out what kind of food people need?"

"Absolutely. I'm your mud pill, a treasure trove of your memories. Mumaru-kun's voice was full of pride.

It seems that it is the wish of every subordinate to win the favor of the master, and even the Divine Family is no exception.

Ren Qiang: "That's right. I found that the little people ate a lot of fruits and meat, and they were tall and fat, but their complexions were not good-looking, and they did not have the freshness of children. Can you help me check if there is a lack of some kind of nutrition? ”

Mumaru-kun: "Well, it's not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Last time you mentioned why there are no living plants in the Mud Pill Palace, I plan to tell you about the relationship between the five elements and the five organs, you are anxious to understand the performance of the Mud Pill Palace, ignoring the past. If you are free tonight, I will be more careful, it will be good for you to guide the little people. ”

Ren Qiang nodded.

Mumaru-kun let out a long breath, giving people the feeling that a tirade was about to begin. Then he said unhurriedly, in a low voice:

"Our Chinese "Five Elements Theory" talks about the five major classifications that make up the world, that is, the most basic material classification, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"The reason why they are called the five elements is that they are constantly transforming and running, without being disturbed by anything; There is no distinction between primary and secondary among the five elements, but there are changes in strength and weakness.

"Over time, they will change from strong to weak to each other, or from weak to strong; The whole process of change, that is, the mutual growth and restraint of the five elements.

"In the pre-ancient period, oh, that is, now and in the near future, the ancestors admired nature very much, believing that human beings were children of nature, and that it was nature that gave them wisdom and life."

"That's true." Ren Qiang interjected.

In this way, the progress of human beings is naturally closely related to the changes in the natural world, and the structure of the human body is also in line with the structure of nature, in line with the laws of nature, and is closely related to the five elements.

"In nature, there are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the human body has liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

"The liver has the function of regulating the smooth and clear mind, and deflating the qi (referring to the movement state of qi), which is similar to the characteristics of wood, so it belongs to wood;

"The heart has the function of promoting the movement of blood and warming the body, which is similar to the characteristics of fire, so it belongs to fire;

"The spleen has the functions of transporting diet subtlety, hematopoiesis, immunity, etc., and is the source of nutrients for various tissues and organs of the human body.

"The lungs have the functions of respiration, exchanging substances, and settling air, and have similar properties to gold, so they belong to gold.

"The kidney has the function of excreting urine and regulating the water balance of the human body, which is similar to the characteristics of water, so it belongs to water

"Ancient Chinese medicine has always had the view that medicine and food are homologous, that different colors of food are beneficial to different organs and organs, and the five colors of green, red, yellow, white and black of the ingredients correspond to the liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the human body, affecting the operation of the five organs.

"The five colors correspond to: green to wood, red to fire, yellow to earth, white to gold, black to water;

"The five tastes of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty also correspond to the five elements. Both: acid to wood, bitterness to fire, sweet to earth, pungent to gold, salty to water.

"In ancient times, oh, now and in the near future, the ancestors divided the time of the year into five seasons: spring, summer, long summer, autumn, and winter. These five seasons also correspond to the five elements: spring to wood, summer to fire, long summer to earth, autumn to metal, and winter to water.

"In medicine, there is also a saying that five animals nourish the five organs, namely: dog meat nourishes the liver, mutton nourishes the heart, chicken nourishes the spleen, beef nourishes the lungs, and pork nourishes the kidneys.

In this way, the five elements, the five organs, the five colors, the five flavors, the five seasons, and the five animals all correspond to each other. To list it in a formula, it is:

"Wood - liver - green - sour - spring - dog meat;

"Fire-heart-red-bitter-summer-mutton;

"Soil - Spleen - Yellow - Sweet - Long Summer - Chicken;

"Golden-lung-white-spicy-autumn-beef;

"Water - Kidney - Black - Salty - Winter - Pork.

"By understanding the organs, colors, tastes, seasons, and livestock corresponding to the five elements, you can scientifically arrange food and balance the nutrients in your body."

"Ho, that's complicated!" Ren Qiang sighed.

"Actually, as long as you remember the principle, it's not complicated. It's easy to keep it simple. In the case of beans, as long as you remember that green beans nourish the liver, red beans nourish the heart, soybeans nourish the spleen, white beans nourish the lungs, and black beans nourish the kidneys. You can also draw inferences from each other, exchange beans for fruits, and replace them with vegetables. ”

"Bang, I can't achieve what you said. You also see, there are no food crops here at all, where are the beans from?!

"Even wild fruits, there are only red, yellow, and green, and black and white have never been seen at all. I haven't eaten vegetables, I don't have them, but I don't have them. ”

Ren Qiang almost complained.

"That's your fault. As a father, you are responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the little people, how can you do it without using your brains?! Nimaru-kun criticized:

"If you can't find black or white fruit for a while, you can substitute something else." For example, there are black fungus in the woods.

"Black fungus can dissolve phlegm, replenish qi and nourish the mind, remove dryness and nourishment, moisturize the hair, invigorate the blood and stomach, and more importantly, remove all kinds of toxic garbage from the human body! You pick some and soak them for the little people to eat, which not only replenishes the nutrients, but also adds one more food. ”

Ren Qiang was refreshed when he heard this, slapped his thigh with his hand and said, "Hi, yes!" Why didn't I think of it! ”

"There is also white, I see a lot of black locusts on the hillside, the flowers are white and tender, why not pick some to eat? There are also wild lilies, white peonies. ”

Ren Qiang nodded happily and frequently. He asked again: "Mud pill-kun, you say, can just eating fruits replace vegetables?" ”

Mumaru-kun: "No. There is nothing in the world that can replace another thing, and the nutrients contained in it are different, so it cannot be replaced, and it is only balanced when it is matched with nutrition.

"In the case of fruits and vegetables, there are certain differences in their nutrition:

"First, most vegetables contain nutrients that people need daily, but they are relatively low in protein and low in quality, and low in fat. Vitamins are the main nutrients in vegetables and are much richer than fruits.

Second, there is a pH in the human body, under normal circumstances, moderate and slightly acidic can maintain the best state of various activities of the human body, vegetables are rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and other mineral elements are alkaline elements, can regulate the acid-base balance in the human body, and the total amount of mineral elements in fruits is less than vegetables.

Third, not only is the content of dietary fiber in vegetables much higher than that of fruits, but also it contains insoluble fiber, which has the effect of promoting intestinal peristalsis and removing toxic substances accumulated in the intestines, which can effectively prevent constipation, hemorrhoids, and colorectal cancer, which is the effect that cannot be achieved by eating fruits.

"Fruit contains mainly soluble fiber, pectin, which is not easily absorbed and slows down the emptying of the stomach.

It can be seen that the nutrients in vegetables are relatively richer than fruits, of course, fruits cannot replace vegetables, on the contrary, it does not mean that vegetables can replace fruits, fruits also have their unique functions, such as most fruits contain various organic acids, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices.

"Therefore, fruits and vegetables must be eaten together to achieve balanced nutrition, which is conducive to good health."

"Oh, I see, maybe it's because I didn't eat vegetables." Ren Qiang suddenly realized. At the same time, I was surprised: when did I remember this information?

"Haha, is it strange?" Mumaru-kun saw through his thoughts, and said humorously: "Don't forget, you are a famous 'rotten pen'!" Those boxes of reading notes were written in vain! ”

Ren Qiang smiled, very happy for his past life.

"It's okay this time, I have a place to check the information when I encounter a problem." Ren Qiang said, and said inquiringly, "Hey, did I bring those boxes of reading notes?" "-Hehe, he has individualized Mumaru-kun.

"Your stuff, of course, brought here. I saw that you were forced to deal with the things outside, so you didn't put them on the shelves. For the sake of tidiness, it was hidden. No, it's just to the north. ”

Ren Qiang took a look at it, and there were five large cardboard boxes under the north wall, which were printed with the words apple and duck pear, and the book was made by a certain carton factory.

Such packaging really can't be put on the bright side.

"Let's keep them hidden!" Ren Qiang said, "What kind of information do you need in the future, I'll ask you directly." ”

After saying that, he was about to exit the Mud Pill Palace.

Mumaru-kun said loudly: "Don't forget, vegetables are also divided into five colors and five flavors, and they must be reasonably matched." ”

Ren Qiang smiled and said, "Remember." "Dodge away.
