Health for All says
With the recurrence of global epidemics, people are increasingly concerned about how to improve their own immunity to enhance their ability to resist diseases. As an experienced TCM practitioner, I believe that diet therapy is an effective and ancient method to improve the body's immunity. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, health care should first start with diet, and adjust various functions in the body by eating the right food, so as to achieve the purpose of enhancing immunity. This article will combine the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to introduce some dietary therapy methods to improve immunity.
First, let's start with the food mix. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the harmony of five flavors, and the combination of grains and grains can provide comprehensive nutrition and enhance physical fitness. For example, cereals such as corn, millet, and glutinous rice are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, which are beneficial for improving the body's resistance. In addition, animal foods such as eggs and fish are also good choices, rich in high-quality protein and essential fatty acids, which can help improve immunity. In addition, fruits and vegetables are also essential foods, which can provide a large amount of vitamins and minerals, which have a positive effect on strengthening immunity. For example, vitamin C in citrus fruits can boost the body's immune function, and garlic has antibacterial and antiviral effects, which can help ward off diseases when consumed properly.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the ingredients of the same origin as medicine and food. There is an old proverb in Chinese medicine: "medicine and food are of the same origin", which means that some ingredients in food have medicinal effects. For example, mushrooms are regarded by traditional Chinese medicine as "autumn and winter health products", which have a variety of effects such as anti-cancer, anti-aging, and immunity enhancement. Deep-sea fish such as salmon and cod are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory and promote immune cell activity. In addition, the lactic acid bacteria in concentrated milk powder help to enhance intestinal immunity, and yogurt, milk, etc. are also good choices. Vitamin D is also essential for boosting immunity and can be supplemented through sun exposure and food intake, such as mushrooms, fish, etc.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that dietary therapy is not a complete replacement for drugs, but at the same time, through the choice and combination of food to improve immunity. When choosing food, you should make a judgment based on your physical constitution and disease status. In addition, try to choose fresh and organic ingredients, and reduce the use of food processing and artificial additives so as not to affect the nutritional value of food.
In summary, dietary therapy, as a traditional and effective method, can improve the body's immunity and enhance the ability to resist diseases. By combining food with nutrients and eating nutritious ingredients, we can improve the activity of immune cells and enhance the body's resistance. Of course, diet therapy is a long-term process that requires us to adhere to and combine with good lifestyle Xi to achieve the best results.
