Health for All says
In recent years, immunity has gradually become the focus of attention because a good immune system can effectively defend against foreign pathogens and maintain the health of the body. As a simple and effective method, a reasonable diet can improve immunity and become a healthy choice for many people. This article will introduce some scientific and practical health foods from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, combined with ancient and modern famous prescriptions, to help you better understand and apply a reasonable diet to improve immunity.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that immunity is closely related to the function of the spleen and stomach. The spleen is the main body that can convert the food ingested into nutrients and supply it to all organs of the body to maintain the normal functioning of the body. Weak spleen and stomach function can easily lead to malnutrition in the body, which in turn affects immunity. Therefore, TCM advocates a reasonable diet, pays attention to dietary conditioning to improve the function of the spleen and stomach, and enhance the body's immunity.
First of all, a reasonable and balanced diet is the basis for improving immunity. Meals should contain the right amount of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals to meet the body's needs for various nutrients. Among them, high-fiber foods such as cereals, vegetables, fruits, etc. can help promote intestinal peristalsis, help remove waste and toxins from the body, maintain intestinal health, and improve immunity.
Secondly, TCM emphasizes that dietary conditioning methods are very important to improve immunity. For example, you can choose some ingredients that are homologous to medicine and food to improve the function of the spleen and stomach and achieve the effect of improving immunity. Common such as astragalus stewed chicken, astragalus has the effect of tonifying the spleen and lungs, while chicken is rich in protein, which can supplement the energy needed by the human body, and the combination of the two can enhance the function of the spleen and stomach and improve immunity.
In addition, some Chinese herbal ingredients can also be used to regulate the spleen and stomach and enhance immunity. For example, ginseng has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, invigorating the lungs and spleen, and has a certain effect on immune regulation. Duck stew with ginseng can be taken to supplement the nutrients needed by the body and improve immunity. In addition, wolfberry, red dates, yams, Huaishan, etc. are also commonly used traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, and regular consumption is beneficial to improve immunity.
In conclusion, a reasonable diet plays an important role in improving immunity. Through scientific and reasonable dietary Xi and some Chinese herbal ingredients, we can improve the function of the spleen and stomach and enhance the body's immunity. However, while diet is important, it is not a substitute for other healthy lifestyles, such as a good routine and proper exercise. Only comprehensive health preservation can achieve the purpose of improving immunity and maintaining physical and mental health.
