According to Chinese medicine, autumn and winter in nature are storage seasons, so called “autumn harvest and winter storage”. Autumn and winter is the easiest time of the year to absorb nutrients and strengthen the body through “eating food”. “Autumn and winter tonic not only can strengthen the essence and restore the body’s righteousness, but also help to expel diseases and eliminate evil, so that the body’s Yin, Yang, Qi, blood and fluids can be enriched, so that the body can enter the best state.” Autumn and winter tonic, to “flat tonic”, “tonic” as the principle, only the proper tonic, in order to achieve the purpose of health. The proper way to make up for the summer can not only make up for the excessive consumption, but also enhance the body’s ability to adapt to cold weather and prepare for a safe winter. But if the tonic method is not right, not only will not achieve the desired effect, but also may make a mistake.” The traditional food tonic in autumn and winter is mostly made of hot and pungent products to warm the Yang and drive away the cold, while the medicine tonic is mainly warm medicine, people are often accustomed to pure tonic, greasy tonic, food is not tired of fine. However, they ignore the fact that improper supplementation in autumn and winter can easily lead to excessive yang energy in the body, nutrients accumulate heat, easy to brew into toxins, and toxins stay in the body will cause a variety of diseases. Peng Wei said, such as over-eating spicy and stimulating products can make the stool dry and difficult to solve, to acne and other diseases; over-eating fatty, sweet and greasy is easy to damage the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach stagnation, water and dampness can not be transported to cause constipation and abdominal distension and other diseases. Once winter exercise is reduced, resistance decreases and the original disease is likely to recur or worsen. In summer, people often have different degrees of spleen and stomach weakness because of bitter summer or over-eating cold drinks, etc. At this time, if a large number of tonic products are consumed, especially overly nourishing Yin products, it will further increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, making the long-term “weak” state of the stomach and intestines can not withstand The “sudden” tonic will lead to digestive disorders. “The actual fact is, it’s best to have a process of conditioning your spleen and stomach before you start taking supplements, so that your body can adapt to it.” Peng Wei said, “Once the body’s digestive function is disturbed, not only the nutrients consumed are not properly absorbed and utilized, but also bloating, anorexia, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases will come to the door.” To regulate the spleen and stomach, it is advisable to eat moderate food to strengthen the spleen and stomach to promote the recovery of spleen and stomach function, such as poria cake, gorgonzola, yam, cowpea, millet, etc. Chinese medicine believes that eating porridge can harmonize the stomach, nourish the spleen and moisten dryness, so if you cook porridge with the above-mentioned foods to eat, you can receive better results. Patients with more serious weakness of the spleen and stomach need to take some medicines to strengthen the spleen, benefit the qi and harmonize the stomach under the guidance of a doctor to promote the recovery of spleen and stomach functions. Elderly people and people suffering from chronic gastritis and enteritis, due to the weakened function of the spleen and stomach, should not take a large amount of tonic containing gum and antler gum, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms of loss of appetite and indigestion due to “deficiency of tonic”. The “flat tonic”, “tonic” is the principle of “autumn and winter tonic can restore physical strength, improve the body’s ability to resist disease, but too much tonic is not good, and even counterproductive.” Peng Wei reminded that many people began to eat beef, mutton, herbal stewed ribs, ten whole tonic soup and other tonic products as soon as the day turned cold, eat these not only can not achieve the purpose of restoring physical strength, but will make those dry heat body people appear dry mouth, dry tongue, constipation and other symptoms. “These foods are mostly hot and dry, and if consumed unchecked, they can have the opposite effect. In particular, patients with chronic diseases, first of all, we should pay attention to recuperate the underlying disease, and then tonic, to pay attention to avoid the situation of more and more heavy tonic.” And in autumn, dry temperatures, people are prone to fire, so tonic in the diet, but also less onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and other spicy foods. Peng Wei suggested that once this happens, we should immediately stop the tonic, and to eat more vegetables and fruits, you can also drink some light porridge to relieve, the symptoms of heavy should go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of a Chinese medicine doctor for professional treatment. Food and medicine are the same source, depending on the person Peng Wei believes that there are two ways to supplement in autumn and winter: food and medicine, and which method is used to progress varies from person to person. “Generally speaking, dietary supplements are suitable for people who are in poor health but do not have specific diseases, and if they suffer from some diseases and chronic illnesses, it is best to supplement through medicine.” Peng Wei introduced that dietary supplements can play a role in improving physical fitness and enhancing resistance to disease. But the supplement should pay attention to the gradual progress, starting from the food that can be easily digested and absorbed, such as making some white fungus stew. If the body is still okay, you can use the general tonic “flat tonic”, if the body deficiency is heavy, you can use expensive drugs “tonic”. “The former is warm and has a nourishing effect on the kidneys and can be taken for a long time, while the latter has a very good effect on people with presbyopia, blurred vision and kidney yin deficiency.” Peng Wei said that the tonic should be different from person to person. The same qi deficiency, there is a spleen qi deficiency, kidney qi deficiency, lung qi deficiency of different, how exactly should they make up, it is best to consult a Chinese medicine doctor. As for the sub-healthy people, it is best to “food and medicine together” to make up for the nutritional imbalance. In addition, you should not be too anxious to make up for it, but should be slow in making up for it. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are looking for a good deal more than just a few of the best products. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. “Bird’s nest is mild and sweet in nature, and is suitable for a wide range of people, basically for men, women, old, young, young and pregnant. However, like ginseng, there are more types of ginseng, so you have to distinguish your body type to take it.” Among ginseng, wild mountain ginseng is the most rare and can be a great tonic for the vital energy, while white ginseng is used for those who are deficient in qi and yin, red ginseng is used for those who are weak in qi and yin, and beijing ginseng is hot and is used for those who are heavily deficient in yang. Since red ginseng and beijing ginseng are warm, you can also add western ginseng, which is cold, according to your body condition. Peng Wei suggests that ginseng can be used in soup, tea and wine, but when taking ginseng, it should be noted that those who have actual or heat evidence but are not deficient in vital energy should not take it; after taking ginseng, one should not drink tea or eat radish to avoid affecting the medicinal power; those who are suffering from cold should not take it either. The tonic is advocated as a way of ‘food’. Different body types, such as qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency and yang deficiency, have different tonic, so do not make any distinction between the real and the virtual. Peng Wei reminded that before tonic, according to the body condition to determine the tonic method, do not blindly tonic, in the choice of food, medicine, can consult a professional physician, especially the following three categories of people in the autumn and winter tonic, pay extra attention: First, the spleen deficiency patients. Spleen deficiency is often manifested as less food and abdominal distension, loss of appetite, physical lethargy, weakness, occasional diarrhea, withered face, such friends may wish to eat moderate food to strengthen the spleen and stomach before tonic to promote the recovery of the spleen and stomach function, such as poria cake, gravy, yam, cowpeas, millet, etc. are good choices. Eating porridge can and stomach, spleen, moisten dry, therefore, if the above-mentioned food porridge to eat, the therapeutic effect is better. Secondly, people with strong stomach fire. The friends who usually eat spicy and oily products are prone to heat and fire, and accumulate heat in the stomach and intestines, manifesting as burning in the stomach, cold drinks, bad breath and constipation. This kind of friends must pay attention to clearing the fire in the stomach before taking tonic. Moderate intake of more bitter gourd, cucumber, winter melon, bitter vegetables, bitter tea, etc., to wait for the stomach fire recede before tonic. Third, the elderly and children. Due to weaker digestion, there is often stagnant food in the stomach, manifesting as loss of appetite or bloating after eating. Therefore, before taking tonic, you should pay attention to eliminating food and stomach, so you may eat some hawthorn, white radish and other foods that eliminate food, strengthen the spleen and stomach in moderation. Those with serious symptoms can take Baohe Pill and Xiang Sha Yang Gastric Pill under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, in autumn, do not consume too much warm food or medicine, such as mutton, dog meat, ginseng, deer antler, cinnamon, slices of sambucus, etc., otherwise it is very easy to aggravate autumn dryness. The most important thing is to find the “selling point” of common food. Compared to medicine, food has several advantages: First, food is generally non-toxic, while medicine is different, “medicine is three points of poison”. Peng Wei said that it is advisable to eat more foods that nourish Yin and moisten dryness in autumn, such as silver fungus, sesame, oyster chicken, pig lung, soy milk, honey, etc., often eat these foods, can prevent autumn dryness injury to the body. In addition, dairy products, beans and fresh vegetables and fruits are appropriate to eat more, these foods are rich in carbohydrates, protein and a variety of vitamins, are very good tonic. “Autumn and winter tonic does not only eat some high-grade tonic, in addition to ginseng, bird’s nest, like many people often eat food in daily life, is also rich in nutrients.” Peng Wei recommends several common foods to ordinary tonic seekers. Lily: Lily is rich in protein, fat, demethylcolchicine and calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins, and is a nutritional good for both young and old. According to Chinese medicine, lily has the effect of stopping bleeding, activating blood circulation, clearing lung and moistening dryness, nourishing Yin and clearing heat, toning the spleen and strengthening the stomach, clearing the mind and calming the spirit, and eliminating fatigue. Yam: Yam is a tonic for the spleen and stomach, both men and women, young and old, healthy and weak, can be eaten, especially suitable for the weak spleen and stomach before tonic consumption. The most important thing is to have some yam before the autumn and winter tonic, which is good for the absorption of the tonic and lay the foundation for the autumn and winter tonic. Jujube: Jujube can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish Yin and moisten dryness, benefit the lungs and replenish Qi. Especially for people with weak spleen and stomach, tiredness and weakness, eating red dates can nourish the middle and benefit the qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and achieve the effect of increasing appetite. Also, jujube has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing blood and calming the mind, soothing the liver and relieving depression. Radish: There are proverbs such as “radish is a small ginseng in October” and “eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, no need for doctors to prescribe”. Radish contains a large amount of glucose, fructose, sucrose, a variety of vitamins and minerals. There are many ways to eat radish, such as roasting, stir-frying, stewing, mixing, stuffing, making soup, etc. It can also be pickled, sauced, soaked, dried and made into various radish products. Lotus root: When heated, the fresh lotus root becomes milder in nature and has the effect of nourishing the stomach and nourishing the yin, generating fluid, benefiting the blood and stopping diarrhea, which can relieve autumn dryness and strengthen the stomach and intestines. It is especially suitable for people with dry skin and dull complexion due to weakness of the spleen and stomach and lack of qi and blood. The elderly often eat lotus root, can regulate the appetite, blood and marrow, calm the mind and brain, with the effect of prolonging life. Lotus seeds: According to Chinese medicine, lotus seeds are sweet, astringent and flat, and enter the spleen, kidney and heart meridian, which can nourish the spleen, stop diarrhea, nourish the kidney and astringent essence, nourish the heart and calm the mind, dispel the remaining summer heat, and nourish and strengthen the body. Beef and mutton: After entering autumn, the cold weather affects the human endocrine system, so that the body’s thyroxine, adrenaline and other secretions increase, thus promoting and accelerating the breakdown of protein, fat, carbohydrates three major types of heat source nutrients. Therefore, in autumn and winter, we should consume more food rich in carbohydrates and fats to increase the body’s ability to resist the cold, and consume beef and mutton to warm the qi and blood.
