Dr. Zhu, why do I have stomach bloating and stomach blockage?The patient asked anxiously.
Because you eat irregularly, plus you usually eat too much. I said.
Dr. Zhu, you are talking nonsense, I have eaten too much?The patient was not convinced and then asked, "By the way, what can I eat to make up for my stomach problems?"”
They all said that they couldn't eat too much. I said.
Can you eat protein powder?The patient asked.
Nope!I said.
Can you eat sea cucumbers?The patient asked.
Nope!I said.
What about fish oil?The patient also asked.
Stop: Don't eat anything but the main meal. I said.
Dr. Chu, why?So I don't want to be without nutrients?The patient wondered.
…I was silent for a moment and continued, "So you all look down on three meals a day!”
Fame and health
Contemporary people take "**" as a criterion for judging most things, but often ignore the "value" of the thing itself. People often think that the more famous and expensive the supplement, the better the effect, and mistakenly equate ** with value, but people ignore that some things are not more valuable than the more famous, in fact, it is often the more ordinary things that are not famous and ** are more valuable.
I'll give you an example, everyone knows that the most famous emperor of the Han Dynasty is Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he is known as one of the most powerful emperors among the feudal emperors, but Liu Bang's later years were spent in the war, and he himself was eventually seriously injured and died in the war against Yingbu, so it can be said that Liu Bang's reputation is inseparable from the war. But the war could not bring the peace and contentment that the people needed, and the devastation caused by the war in Liu Bang's era was inconsistent with his reputation. The most peaceful era of the Han Dynasty was the famous "Wenjing Zhizhi" period, Wen refers to Emperor Wen of Han, Jing refers to Emperor Jing of Han, but almost everyone is very familiar with Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, but not everyone can say the names of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Wen of Han is Liu Heng, and Emperor Jing of Han is Liu Qi. Although Liu Heng and Liu Qi are not well known, they were the founders of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. If the emperor of the Han Dynasty is placed on the same seat as health, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty eat three meals a day to ensure good health, while Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, is famous for its tonics but cannot bring peace to the country, so although the tonic is famous, relying on supplements alone cannot bring about physical health.
Main business and side business
If people are compared to a family, and physical health is compared to a stable and prosperous family income, then three meals a day is work income, and supplements are side income. Everyone knows that if the family income is stable, you need to have a stable job, and only if the job is stable can you have a happy family, and the side hustle is the icing on the cake. However, modern society often shows everyone to get rich in one day, and do the extreme example of earning more than 10,000 yuan a month since the first day, so that young people think that the side business can far exceed the main business, and the elderly think that supplements can replace three meals a day to bring health. But the reality is that in most cases, self-consumption does not bring an income of more than 10,000 yuan per month, and a large number of supplements do not bring health.
It is undeniable that in real life, there will be individual cases where patients will improve their condition after taking some supplements, but this situation is often achieved on the basis of formal medical treatment, not relying on supplements alone. If accidental events are treated as regular events, then the fable of "waiting for the rabbit" is the best interpretation.
A new book I wrote
I want to ask Chinese medicine - 100 practical Chinese medicine tips" is now available on the whole network, everyone who is interested can buy a copy for reference, thank you!
Zhu's internal medicine non-genetic people are summarized again!
People take food as the day, and health is based on three meals, which is the most "valuable" way of life, but not the most "first-class social trend". In fact, as long as you think about whether our children grow up on three meals a day or on eating supplements every day, the answer is obvious.
Three meals a day is the foundation of human health, and supplements are just the icing on the cake, not the right path.
To achieve a career, it is always necessary to work hard step by step, and physical health depends on a regular diet of three meals a day, one bite at a time, not by the so-called tonic supplement black technology in one day.
The winter is cold, if you want to eat supplements, in this era of too much nutrition, you can no longer follow the past experience, but clear supplements are suitable for the physical state of modern people. If the elderly who are afraid of cold in winter can eat 1 2 spoons of black sesame walnut powder every day to replenish the kidney, if the digestive function is not good, you can add some fried malt powder to the sesame walnut powder, if you are not digested and have a lot of nocturia, you can replace the fried malt powder with the gold powder in the roasted chicken, which can not only eliminate food but also improve nocturia, killing two birds with one stone. The recommended ratio is 10 parts black sesame seeds + 10 parts walnut kernels + 1 part fried malt or 1 part roasted chicken inner gold. However, people who are often on fire should not take it, and it is more prudent for you to judge how your physique is.
