"People take food as the sky", this old saying has been passed down for thousands of years, showing the important position of food in Chinese life.
However, on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month of the ancient lunar calendar, there is a saying that "eat today, no trouble and peace".
This makes people wonder what are the five kinds of food that can help people avoid disasters and seek peaceLet's move on!
1. Don't eat raw and cold, and protect yang energy
On the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, it is the cold winter season, and the temperature plummets. At this time, eating raw and cold food is undoubtedly worse, and it is very easy to damage the yang energy in the body.
Yang Qi is like the sun in the human body, once damaged, it will lead to a decrease in resistance and a lot of diseases. Therefore, in order to protect our "fire of life", on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, raw and cold food must not be touched.
So, what is raw and cold food?Generally speaking, foods that have not been cooked and have a low temperature can be classified as raw and cold foods, such as sashimi, cold drinks, ice cream, etc.
In the cold winter, we should eat more warm foods, such as red dates, longan, ginger tea, etc., to warm our bodies.
2. Don't eat greasy food to prevent diseasesAs the New Year approaches, every household has big fish and meat on their tables. However, on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, greasy food is included in the list of "not to eat". Why is that?It turns out that the climate is dry in winter, and the water in the human body is relatively insufficient. At this time, if you consume too much greasy food, it will not only increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also easily lead to problems such as irritation and constipation. Therefore, for the sake of our health, it is better to stay away from greasy food on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month. 3. Don't eat leftovers to avoid "getting sick from the mouth".In the minds of the older generation, leftovers must not be wasted. However, on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, eating leftovers is considered unlucky. In fact, this statement is not groundless. In winter, the temperature is low, and the food is prone to spoilage. In the process of placing leftovers, not only harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses will grow, but also carcinogens such as nitrite will be produced. Therefore, in order to avoid "illness from the mouth", on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, we should not eat leftovers.
Fourth, do not eat salty food and protect the kidneysSalt is the first of all flavors and an indispensable condiment in our daily life. However, on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, excessively salty foods are included in the taboo list. This is because winter is a good time to nourish the kidneys, while salty foods can damage kidney health. The kidneys are important excretory organs in the human body and are responsible for removing metabolic waste products and toxins from the body. If too much salt is consumed, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, leading to impaired function. Therefore, in order to protect the health of our kidneys, we should control our salt intake and stay away from salty foods on the 28th day of the winter month. Fifth, do not eat spicy food to prevent "adding fuel to the fire".In the cold winter, spicy foods such as hot pot and spicy tang have become the favorite of many people. However, on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, spicy food is considered unsuitable for consumption. This is because the winter climate is dry and the water in the human body is relatively insufficient. At this time, if you consume too much spicy food, it will be like "adding fuel to the fire" and aggravate the symptoms of heat and dryness in the body. In addition, spicy foods can also irritate the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to problems such as stomach pain and diarrhea. Therefore, for the sake of our health, on the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, we still choose light and moisturizing food.
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, we understand the specific content of "eating today" and the health significance behind it. On the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, let's follow these traditional dietary taboos and take care of our health. Remember, "Eat today, no trouble and peace", may we all have a safe and healthy winter!
