Follow the laws of nature is the fundamental principle of health care: diet (a)

Introduction: Chinese medicine firstly qualifies drugs and food through cold, hot, warm and cool; the mouth identifies the five tastes of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty to determine its taste. This is a human-centered approach to understanding nature, based on the body’s sensation and reaction to drugs, to determine the nature of drugs. It is like a beam of light passing through a trigeminal mirror and dividing it into seven colors, turning unfathomable and complicated into simple and clear. It has made Chinese medicine not fallen into the museum’s ponderous, bull’s-eye view, and fight with objective things. Nor does it fall into the strange circle of analyzing components and purifying monomers. Rather, it is concerned with teamwork and observing the overall response. With complex unknown people, to complex unknown medicine, to come up with simple visible results, reflecting the wisdom of the Chinese. Modern society is economically developed, people are scientifically knowledgeable, and crucially, people are more and more concerned about health, so they are particularly careful about diet and nutrition. According to the requirements of modern nutrition, each meal must be paired with a certain proportion of carbohydrates (sugar), fat, protein, vitamins, water and inorganic salts (minerals) and other six major nutrients. So okay, some people, especially women who love to lose weight (in fact, not at all fat), even the main food (carbohydrate-based) are not even eaten, and directly eat fruit as a meal! Long-term down, the direct consequence is the damage to the spleen and stomach Yang Qi, to reduce the not into, should not grow but long, and will also give a person’s face state of the essence of the lack of energy. The Chinese nation has been cultivating a diet based on grain staples and vegetarianism for five thousand years (occasionally eating some meat and fruit for extra nutrition), which has reproduced generations of healthy children. If you are influenced by the so-called modern nutrition and eat only according to its nutritional content every day, and change the diet that has been cultivated for thousands of years, the price to pay must be health. Some people say that Dr. Zeng you are nonsense, not at all scientific, people in the West do not eat like this? Not also live a good life! Just said, we have formed a unique Chinese eating habits, and Westerners have also formed their habits. In fact, the Chinese are not only concerned about nutrition, but also about how to match a healthier, more delicious! Because the Chinese diet is in accordance with the nature of Chinese medicine to understand food, which is a human-centered approach to understanding nature, the first thing to look at is the nature of food, drugs (four sexes: cold, hot, warm and cool) and taste (five flavors: acid, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty), and despise its role. Because the nature of food is constant, while its effect can change from person to person, from time to time, from place to place. As an example. Modern nutrition believes that cabbage and chili are rich in vitamin C, but different varieties or origins, their vitamin C content varies; and Chinese medicine believes that cabbage is flat and cold, taste sweet, chili is hot, taste spicy, their properties are opposite. The same vitamin C supplement, some people eat cabbage will have abdominal distension and even diarrhea, and some people eat chili peppers will have a sore throat and acne. If they are eaten together, then the dish becomes healthier and tastier while balancing their respective heat and cold, making a famous dish – hand torn cabbage. The Korean kimchi also contains the Chinese medicine theory of sexual taste (Dr. Tsang ate kimchi tonight / naughty). Many people drink milk and eat eggs for breakfast. But some people get diarrhea from drinking milk and some people get allergic to eggs. Why do the same foods produce different effects (or effects) in different people? The modern medical explanation is that the human body lacks the lactase enzyme that breaks down lactose, resulting in symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea due to the milk not being digested and absorbed. In contrast, egg allergy is caused by a lack of trace elements (such as zinc) that lead to low resistance, or an allergic body that cannot digest eggs and produces antibodies. In big hospitals, there is a department called “allergic reaction department”, which mainly treats allergic diseases (not your personality perversion), and helps you find out the allergens through the so-called “scientific” method, and their best advice is to stay away from these foods and not to eat them. The best advice they can give you is to stay away from these foods and not eat them, which does not solve the problem at the root. For example, for patients with allergic rhinitis (many of whom are allergic to pollen), their advice is to stay away from flowers, plants and other detectable allergens. If we are separated from the natural world, are we still a human being? According to Chinese medicine, milk and eggs are both cold. Although milk is rich in nutrients, it should only be consumed by babies and children at birth. Because children are pure yang (like the rising sun), they have enough yang energy in their bodies to balance the cold properties of milk, so they can digest and absorb it. However, when people grow up, their physique will change, so they should stop drinking milk and eat warm food to protect their yang energy and maintain their lives. Eggs also have yin-cold properties. For patients with yin deficiency and insomnia and low fever, the ancients used egg yolks stirred into medicinal liquid to take together to clear heat and nourish yin, nourish the heart and calm the mind (e.g. the famous formula of Chinese medicine —- Huanglian Agaricus Tang). But for people with insufficient yang energy or yin-cold, eggs are tantamount to poison. Yang energy is function, energy. If there is not enough yang in the body, there is not enough energy to digest it, but it will become a burden to the body. Because not only is it not absorbed for the body to use, but also consumes energy (yang qi) to transport out of the body. Since milk and eggs are both cold and yin products, is it absolutely impossible to eat them? What if I have a craving? Don’t worry, Dr. Zeng will tell you! As mentioned earlier, the Chinese are very particular about food pairing, all about healthy and delicious! As long as the heating of milk (cold drinks aggravate its Yin cold nature) appropriate to add some warm five spice powder or cinnamon powder, not only taste fresh, but also will not lead to diarrhea. Eggs try not to eat boiled eggs, water eggs, eat fried eggs, scrambled eggs, for example, the Chinese used to use scallions, parsnips, leeks, etc. with eggs, and the achievement of a famous dish. Thousands of years of Chinese dietary wisdom fully illustrates that cold food is balanced by cooking with fire or adding hot condiments to balance its coldness, which is not only delicious, but also beneficial to the body’s absorption and conducive to replenishing the body’s nutritional needs! Note: Dr. Zeng still recommends adults to quit milk, in addition to milk is Yin cold products, easy to deplete the body’s Yang Qi, but also because the milk is now unhealthy, are hormones to promote out, the most important is that adults drink milk is also against the laws of nature. The most important thing is that it is against the natural order of things for adults to drink milk, because only newborn babies and mammals drink milk, and when they grow up, they can eat other things, so they don’t need to drink milk.
