"The best way is to find the balance among a wide arrangement of foods such as meat, grain, vegetable and so on," Zhou Jian, a nutrition professor with the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine said.Over-use of oil and sodium should be avoided, she added.
北京中医药大学营养学教授周健说:“最好能在诸如肉类、粮食、蔬菜等食品中找到平衡。”她补充道说,不要摄入过多的油和钠。
Canadian nutritionist Dolores Chung, director of the Hong Kong based Dynamic Health Centre, has some more detailed advice.
位于香港的活力健康中心主管,加拿大营养学家德洛丽丝•钟也给出了一些详细的建议。
She says it is always important to use seasonable food. "I know big cabbages in winter are good in Beijing, some curried or spicy chicken, or mutton with rice, would be good for winter-eating too, with sauces to go with rice."
她指出食用应季食物非常重要。“我知道北京冬天的大白菜很好,同时像咖喱或辣味的鸡(羊)肉饭这样加了调味酱的米饭也很适合冬季食用。”
Fruits and salads are most healthy as they don`t require reheating and maintain nutrition.Thermal containers, which can keep food warm for a few hours, are recommended to avoid losing nutritional value in the microwave.
水果和沙拉是最健康的,因为它们不需要加热,同时还能保证营养不流失。保温盒备受推崇,因为它可以保温几个小时,这样一来就不会因为使用微波炉加热而导致营养价值流失。
"Just reheat for less than one minute or so… the vitamin C should still be kept," she said. "Always use a plastic lid, not fully covered, to keep the water in the food. Heavy meat should be avoided… better eat some foods which are easy to digest."
德洛丽丝•钟建议:“加热不要超过一分钟,这样维生素C就不会损失。为了保持食物中的水分,记得要用一个塑料盖子,但不要全部盖上。不要吃太多肉,多吃些易于消化的食物。”
