Health for All says
In recent years, respiratory diseases have occurred frequently, which has brought great trouble to people's health and life. Especially in the season when viral respiratory infections are prevalent, we should strengthen the management and protection of respiratory health. As a TCM practitioner, I fully understand the importance of "eating" in TCM, and by adopting the right diet Xi habits and choosing the right ingredients, we can enhance the immunity of the respiratory tract, so as to effectively prevent and control respiratory diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that respiratory diseases are caused by external evils invading the human body, so building healthy lung qi is the key to preventing respiratory diseases. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the main qi of the lungs is easy for external evils to enter, and we should pay attention to the regulation and protection of lung qi. At the same time, according to the different physiques of individuals, we can choose different ingredients and methods to strengthen the immunity of the respiratory tract.
First of all, we can choose some foods to boost our lung qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nut foods such as duck meat, walnut meat, and cashew nuts are beneficial to the regulation of lung qi and can enhance the function of the lungs. In addition, fruits such as pears and apples are rich in vitamin C, which can clear the lungs and enhance the resistance of the respiratory tract. In addition, lily, sand cucumber, and wheat dong in Chinese medicinal materials are also good choices for recuperating lung qi.
Secondly, we can choose some ingredients to clear heat and detoxify. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that respiratory diseases are often accompanied by symptoms of phlegm and heat, and clearing heat and detoxifying is an important measure to prevent and improve respiratory tract infections. For example, ingredients such as mung beans and lotus leaves have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, which can help us prevent and alleviate respiratory diseases. In addition, common condiments such as garlic and ginger also have good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and can be used in moderation in the diet.
In addition to diet, TCM also promotes reasonable lifestyle Xi to protect the health of the respiratory tract. First of all, it is necessary to maintain indoor air circulation and avoid staying in a closed environment for a long time. Secondly, it is necessary to develop good Xi habits, frequent hand washing, frequent ventilation, and disinfection of utensils are all important measures to protect respiratory health.
While strengthening respiratory immunity, we should also seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying and spreading the disease to others. Respiratory diseases can become serious quickly, we must remain vigilant, and once symptoms appear, we should seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive a diagnosis from a professional doctor.
In conclusion, respiratory diseases are a serious public health problem that threatens people's health. As a TCM practitioner, I emphasise that correct dietary Xi and choosing suitable ingredients to enhance the immunity of the respiratory tract are effective means to prevent and control respiratory diseases. By regulating lung qi, clearing away heat and detoxifying, maintaining good living Xi habits and seeking medical attention in a timely manner, we can effectively deal with respiratory diseases and increase the ability to "eat" a healthy epidemic.
