Supplementary information:
It is helpful for our digestion if we eat meat as well as vegetables at the same time, which also can prevent fat accumulation and constipation. If vegetables and fruits are heated, the enzyme will be destroyed, so they are recommended to be eaten raw. It is recommended to eat some meat in morning or noon but not in evening, otherwise the fat will not be metabolized and accumulate in the body.
