Every food has its dependencies, compatibility, and mutual exclusion. Eating scientifically, nutritiously and healthily will yield twice the result with half the effort; eating blindly and ignorantly will be counterproductive.

In a healthy diet, a variety of foods are required, and it is even more necessary to strictly implement a reasonable mix, giving full play to the nutritional value and physiological value of the food, and to prevent mutual resistance and consumption between them, and damaging their own nutrients. It can also prevent the occurrence of allergies, poisoning, and even death that are harmful to health, and achieve the purpose of healthy eating.
