In winter, there is a high incidence of respiratory diseases. Everyone is generally concerned about how to improve immunity, especially in the daily diet, whether there are some healthy diet combinations or healthy eating Xi, which can help everyone enhance their physique and resist viruses.

Yu Kang, director of the Department of Clinical Nutrition in Beijing, introduced at a recent press conference held by the National Health Commission that an important basis for reasonable immune maintenance is a reasonable diet. A reasonable diet is made up of many kinds of foods, and it does not mean that eating only one or a limited number of foods can achieve a reasonable diet.

In addition to the above five dietary suggestions, what are the suggestions for TCM health care that can help you strengthen your physical fitness, improve your immunity, and prevent respiratory diseases?

Zhang Zhongde, vice president of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and president of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced at a recent press conference held by the National Health Commission that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "righteousness is stored in the body, and evil cannot be done".

In terms of diet, eat more foods that support righteousness and strengthen the spleen. In winter, eat more warm foods, such as mutton, beef, chicken, etc., and avoid eating some hot and greasy foods, which will be difficult to digest. Can be served with some radish. Folks say "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer", radish can help digestion and nourish yin and qi. In addition, you can choose some medicinal diets, mainly to replenish qi and drive away cold and dryness, such as Codonopsis, astragalus, ginger, perilla leaves, walnuts, etc.

Children are the main group of respiratory infections in winter. Parents are generally concerned about what should be done in the diet to improve their children's resistance

Wu Liqun, director of the Department of Pediatrics of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine East Hospital, said at a recent press conference held by the National Health Commission that in terms of diet, it is necessary to pay attention to regular diet and balanced diet. The weather in the northern region is cold, so you can eat some warm and nutritious foods in winter, such as beef and mutton, fish, etc. However, these foods should not be eaten in excess to avoid food accumulation. In winter, when the climate is dry, you can also eat some foods like white radish, lotus root, pear, lily, white fungus and so on.

For children who have been infected with respiratory diseases, how to grasp the diet in the process of home care?

Yang Jinghua, director of the Department of Pediatrics of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced at a recent press conference held by the National Health Commission that for children with respiratory tract infections, parents should focus on the following aspects in the diet of home care

The elderly are also at high risk of respiratory infections in winter. Zhang Zhongde introduced at a recent press conference held by the National Health Commission that in traditional Chinese medicine, the elderly are particularly susceptible to infection in winter due to age, deficiency of qi and blood in the internal organs, and decreased resistance. In terms of diet, you can use some auxiliary Chinese patent medicines that have the effect of strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and strengthening the surface, warming yang and dispelling cold, or taking medicinal diets for protection. However, it should be noted that do not make big supplements, such as red ginseng, ginseng, cordyceps, etc., but use a calmer diet to strengthen the spleen and qi, warm the yang and dispel cold.
