Xunyi Coarse Grains

　　Coarse grains refer to staple foods such as rice, wheat, soybeans, corn, and tubers. People commonly refer to grains other than rice and flour as coarse grains, so the term "five grains" also broadly refers to cereal crops.

　　 Benefits of eating more coarse grains

　　 1. Prevention against cancer invasion

　　 Legumes are rich in protein, amino acids, and vitamin B complex, which have anti-cancer effects. Regular consumption can help prevent tumor mutations; vitamin A helps maintain healthy cells, prevents the formation of cancer cells, and can prolong the time waste products stay in the intestines, reducing the chance of carcinogens contacting the intestinal mucosa—this helps prevent constipation and colon cancer.

　　 2. Prevention of lifestyle diseases

　　 The vitamin C in coarse grains can alleviate fatigue symptoms, prevent colds, leg soreness, and other lifestyle-related illnesses; iron helps prevent stomach ulcers and loss of appetite; potassium can also avoid muscle paralysis, depression, and general weakness; while trace elements such as copper and zinc can improve symptoms of neurasthenia and insomnia, as well as boost appetite, improve weight, and regulate eating desire.

　　 3. Makes you smarter

　　 The protein in coarse grains can enhance the excitatory and inhibitory functions of the cerebral cortex, boost brain metabolic activity, and improve efficiency. It also contains eight essential amino acids required by the human body—for example, lysine can activate brain function, benefiting elderly people with memory decline and children whose brains are in developmental stages; glutamic acid can improve brain mechanisms and treat dementia patients, among others. In addition, it is rich in phospholipids, which are beneficial for the development and functioning of brain nerves; acetylcholine aids nerve signal transmission and can enhance memory.
