On the eighth day of December in the lunar calendar, it is commonly known as Laba. Many places cook Laba porridge on this day. There are many varieties of Laba porridge in various parts of China. The earliest Laba porridge was cooked with red beans. After evolution and local characteristics, it gradually became more colorful. This rich change just reflects the dietary principles of food diversity. Human foods are diverse, and the nutrients contained in various foods are not exactly the same. Each food can provide at least one nutrient. No natural food can provide all the nutrients needed by the human body, so it is balanced. The diet must be composed of a variety of foods in order to meet the various nutritional needs of the human body, achieve reasonable nutrition and promote health. Like Laba Congee, it is a typical combination of various foods. The clever combination of various foods not only provides the body with the necessary energy, but also satisfies the full intake of various nutrients.
