As an experienced doctor, I have a deep understanding and love for Chinese medicine. As a treasure of Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine not only has unique advantages in the treatment of diseases, but also plays an irreplaceable role in health care. Today, I would like to share with you some knowledge of TCM health preservation, especially how to maintain good health by adjusting your diet.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the health of the human body is closely related to the balance of the internal environment. Diet is one of the important means to regulate the internal environment. Through a reasonable diet, we can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and regulate various physiological functions of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of health care.
First of all, we need to understand the basic principles of TCM health preservation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the health of the human body is closely related to the changes in the natural world. Therefore, when it comes to eating, we follow the changes of the seasons and choose ingredients that are suitable for the current season. For example, spring is the season of recovery, and it is good to eat light vegetables and fruits;Summers are hot and humid, so it's good to eat cool and cool foods
Autumn is dry and suitable for eating moist food;Winters are cold, so it is good to eat warm food.
In addition, TCM also emphasizes the "homology of medicine and food", that is, many foods also have medicinal properties. For example, jujube can nourish blood and qi, wolfberry can nourish yin and kidney, and hawthorn can eliminate food and accumulation. We can add these foods appropriately to our daily diet to achieve the effect of conditioning the body.
Next, I would like to share some specific practices for private food for beauty. The first is a dish of "stewed chicken with red dates and wolfberries". This dish can nourish qi and blood, and has a good improvement effect on women with yellowish complexion and dry face. The method is to cut the chicken into pieces, put it in a pot with red dates and wolfberries, add an appropriate amount of water, and cook until the chicken is cooked and rotten.
The other dish is "hawthorn chrysanthemum tea". This tea can clear away heat and relieve heat, and has a good effect on eliminating summer fatigue and regulating the body's acid-base balance. The method is to brew hawthorn and chrysanthemum in hot water and dry it to a suitable temperature before drinking.
In addition to the above basic principles and specific dish practices, there are some precautions that need to be reminded. First of all, pay attention to the hygiene and quality of your diet. When buying ingredients, choose fresh, non-contaminated foods. During the cooking process, it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning and cooking thoroughly to avoid food safety problems such as food poisoning. Secondly, choose the right diet according to your physical condition. Different people have different physique and physiological needs, and when choosing food, it is necessary to match it according to their own situation. For example, for people who are prone to irritation, eat less spicy, greasy foods;For people with a weak spleen and stomach, eat less raw, cold, and hard foods. Finally, develop healthy eating habits. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "eat without speaking, sleep without speaking", that is, distracting behaviors such as chewing slowly during meals, not talking or watching TV. Also, avoid unhealthy eating habits such as overeating or excessive dieting.
