White represents staple foods such as rice, noodles, and coarse grains.

Yellow represents various types of beans.

Red represents livestock and poultry meat.

Rich in nutrients such as animal protein and fat, they are ranked in order of their beneficial effects on human health as follows: fish, chicken, beef, lamb, pork, etc.

However, these foods contain a lot of animal fat, so they should not be consumed in excess.

Green represents various fresh vegetables and fruits.

These are foods that provide the human body with essential nutrients such as vitamins, cellulose, and minerals, with dark green leafy vegetables being the best.

Black represents edible black animals and plants.

Such as black-bone chicken, soft-shelled turtle, kelp, black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, and various edible fungi. These foods are richest in vitamins and trace elements, and also contain abundant high-quality animal and plant protein and other nutrients.

If your dining table is "colorful" every day, you can achieve a balanced diet. This way, you will neither suffer from malnutrition nor have nutritional excess that can induce "modern civilized diseases" such as hyperlipidemia.
