Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
Fan Letter] Dear Doctor, Hello! I'm a big fan of yours and have been following your popular science articles. Recently, I saw a saying on the Internet that eggs and two flavors of Chinese medicine can be turned into a magical food therapy recipe for replenishing qi and blood, growing black hair, and shaking off old flowers. I'm a little confused, is this claim really credible? I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me.
I am a 60-year-old retiree, and in recent years, my physical condition has not been as good as before, my qi and blood are insufficient, my hair is gradually graying, and my vision is a little blurred. I would like to be able to improve my physical condition through a reasonable diet. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your trust and support. Regarding the dietary prescription of eggs and two herbs you mentioned, I think we need to look at it rationally.
First of all, let's analyze the ingredients of this dietary remedy. Eggs, flat in nature, return to the heart, lungs, and kidney meridians, and have the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, nourishing blood and stabilizing the fetus. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, eggs are regarded as a food with high nutritional value and are suitable for all kinds of people.
Next, let's take a look at what these two flavors of Chinese medicine are. Based on the information you provided, I guess that these two flavors of Chinese medicine may be Angelica sinensis and Polygonum multiflori. Angelica, warm in nature, returns to the liver, heart and spleen meridians, and has the effect of replenishing blood and regulating menstruation, invigorating blood and relieving pain. Polygonum multiflori, warm in nature, returns to the liver, kidneys, and heart meridians, and has the effects of tonifying the liver and kidneys, benefiting sperm and blood, black beard, and strengthening muscles and bones.
Combining these three ingredients, we can see that the main role of this dietary formula is to replenish qi and blood, grow black hair, and get rid of old flowers. It does have a certain improvement effect on symptoms such as lack of qi and blood, graying hair, and blurred vision. However, it is important to note that dietary remedies are not a substitute for medicines** and cannot solve all health problems.
In practical application, we need to reasonably mix food and medicine according to the individual's physical condition and condition. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as moderate exercise, maintaining a good work and rest schedule, and avoiding overwork, can help improve physical condition.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to the following points for dietary prescriptions:
1.Dietary therapy is not achieved overnight, and it takes long-term persistence to see obvious results.
2.Everyone's physique is different, and the reaction to food will be different. When trying a remedy, we need to pay attention to our own reaction, and if we feel unwell, we should stop eating it immediately.
3.Dietary prescriptions can only be used as an adjunct** and cannot be a complete substitute for medicines**. In case of illness, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the advice of your doctor.
Finally, I hope that you can maintain a positive attitude, eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and maintain good lifestyle habits. I believe that with your efforts, your physical condition will get better and better!
