Commonly used health products – ranked by preference: jujube, yam, coix seeds, angelica, lily, ginger, garlic, and red food. In a person’s life, diet determines physique, and physique determines health and happiness. I believe that in order to be healthy and maintain health, we must first not forget the spleen and stomach. The first food to benefit the spleen and stomach are red dates, yams and coix seeds, known as the “three treasures of the spleen and stomach”. The spleen and stomach of the dates, the role of the benefit of blood. Li Shizhen said, “Jujube is the fruit of the spleen, and it is advisable to eat it for spleen diseases”. Jujube is a good health food for patients with weak spleen and stomach, lack of qi and blood, tiredness and weakness, insomnia, etc. People with spleen deficiency, loose stools, weak stomach, and lack of qi and blood should take jujube. Yam has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach, tonifying the lungs and benefiting the kidneys, and is a good recipe for those with a weak spleen and stomach. Coix seeds have the effect of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the lungs, clearing heat, and relieving dampness, and are especially easy to digest and absorb, making them a good therapeutic food. Modern medical research shows that regular consumption of yam, jujube and coix seeds can improve the body’s immunity. If they are cooked together in porridge, they can not only prevent the recurrence of gastritis and gastric ulcer, but also reduce the probability of getting infectious diseases such as influenza. Therefore, it is ideal for people with a weak spleen and stomach. ”I can’t talk about the most commonly used “health products”, because I eat everything, regardless of each other. Chinese medicine is concerned with diagnosis and treatment, diagnosis and food, pay attention to individual differences, that is, to eat different foods and herbs for different seasons, different physiques and different conditions. TCM classifies medicinal and food properties into five categories: cold, hot, warm, cool and flat. Warm and hot foods can warm the Yang, and people who are afraid of cold can eat more; cold and cool foods can clear the fire, and people who are afraid of heat can eat more; flat foods can be consumed by the general public. In actual life, many people eat several types of food mixed together. Mixed eating, cold, hot, warm, cool to complement the balance; mixed eating, in order to include the six categories of nutrients. In addition to mixing food, you also need to eat in rotation. Not partial food, in order to diversify nutrition, will not cause the body’s nutritional imbalance, in order to maintain the body’s health and longevity. Besides food and water, is there any food and medicine that can be taken regularly? The answer is: yes, but only a few. First, it must be a food, containing the main nutrients; second, it may be a medicine, containing less drug ingredients, but it must be non-toxic and harmless. Furthermore, it is not only suitable for long-term consumption by normal people, but also for people with chronic diseases without contraindications or with relatively few contraindications. These foods include tea, yam, lotus seeds, lily of the valley, red dates, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, sesame seeds, etc. -Honglei (Professor of College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chongqing Medical University, Director of the Chongqing Chinese Medicine Association Health Care Committee) “Do no harm” is health care Common health care products – yam, tea, mung beans, adzuki beans, black beans, hawthorn, coix seeds, astragalus, angelica, ginger. Traditional medicine is the thinking of life rescue in the background of Chinese traditional culture, obeying the sky, the way of nature, not going against the law, choosing beneficial behavior, avoiding harm, then naturally will get more help and prolong life. Ge Hong, a Jin Dynasty medical scientist, summed it up as “the essence of health is not to hurt”. Therefore, “no harm” is the principle of nourishment. What to eat, what to do with “do not hurt” as the premise of the attitude of life, is to maintain health. In order to do no harm, the Chinese people, based on the world view of “the unity of heaven and man”, have developed the code of conduct of “heavenly time, geographical location, and human harmony”, as well as the treatment of disease due to the time (different seasons), due to the place (different geographical conditions), due to the person (men, women, and children have different physique) The principle of “three reasons for the appropriate”. For example, in spring, when everything is growing, we should follow the nature of spring growth, go outdoors and take a walk in the courtyard to let our emotions flourish; on the contrary, if we close our homes and feel depressed, we are doing the opposite. In winter, everything is closed, so we should follow the nature of winter, avoid the cold and keep warm, and prevent the dissipation of yang energy; on the contrary, too much outdoor exercise and dissipation of yang energy is not the unity of heaven and man. -Gao Xuemin (Professor of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Director of the Chinese Medicine Clinical Committee of the National Pharmacopoeia Commission, and Deputy Director of the National Committee of Proprietary Chinese Medicines) Discriminating the evidence to administer meals is a prerequisite Commonly used health products – Chinese wolfberry, yam, jujube, green tea. Chinese medicine believes that identification is a prerequisite for treating diseases, and even such an auxiliary treatment as a medicinal meal must conform to the rules of identification and treatment in Chinese medicine in order to achieve good results. For example: people with physical weakness, there is a difference between qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency. People with Qi deficiency commonly have short breath and low voice, little breath and lazy speech, mental fatigue, body tiredness and weakness, or symptoms of dizziness and spontaneous sweating, so they can choose to add Ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Astragali, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, White Lentil, Yam, Radix et Rhizoma Polygonati, and other Qi tonics in cooking food to enhance the effect of tonifying Qi and strengthening the body. For people with blood deficiency, the main symptoms are pale white or atrophy, pale white color of eyelids, lips and nails, dizziness, blurred eyes, dry eyes, palpitations and dreaminess, forgetfulness, fatigue, etc. For women, low menstrual volume, pale color, postponement or even amenorrhea are seen. These people are suitable to consume Chinese herbs with blood nourishing and tonic effects, such as angelica, rehmannia, aconite, white peony, he shou wu, cinnamon, mulberry, black sesame and jujube. In the choice of medicinal food, on the one hand, we must understand the cold and hot nature of the ingredients, on the other hand, we must also recognize our own body type, and what disease we are suffering from. If the lack of knowledge in this area, and really do not have the patience to learn, then it is best to ask your doctor to prescribe a medicinal recipe, do not try blindly.
