The eight principles of diet and health from the perspective of Chinese medicine

From the perspective of Chinese medicine to talk about the eight principles of dietary health Jin Kui Chinese medicine one, eat more coarse grains coarse grains contain the complete information of plants, such as seeds contain the five elements of the properties of the year, which is beneficial to the balance of the five elements of yin and yang in the human body. If only refined flour is eaten, the five elements properties contained in the seed coat are missing. In addition, the refined food to add a lot of flavoring, coloring, forming and other additives, these things do not belong to the food itself, but also not beneficial to human health. Rough food is the most helpful to maintain health. Second, eating seven or eight minutes full is best so that the stomach and spleen can give full play to its Sheng, transport and transformation of the function, diet water and grain easy to become fine and moisten the whole body. If you drink and eat too much, the stomach needs to be over-consumed, the spleen needs to be over-transported, and the spleen and stomach are lost for a long time, but the biochemistry of Qi and blood is insufficient. I have seen many children or obese, or too thin, mostly over-eating, the spleen and stomach damage, or Yang deficiency and phlegm and damp flooding, or weak and biochemical deficiencies. Thirdly, eat less or no cold food, especially ice-zhan drizzle, just out of the refrigerator drinks, half-cooked meat, cold water, cold fruits, etc.. The human life vitality needs the right temperature, our normal body temperature is the body’s Yang Qi made. Yang energy originates from food and is generated through the transportation of the spleen and stomach. If you eat cold and cold, the body to over-consume valuable Yang Qi, Yang Qi gradually weakened, and health gradually lost. Fourth, do not eat wild animals for thousands of years our body has been used to some animal meat, such as cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and fish, the body can skillfully digest these foods, and transformed into vital substances such as blood and fluids. If you suddenly eat meat that you have never seen before, the body will overconsume Yang Qi to transport these foods, which will damage the body’s Yang Qi. The actual fact is that these meats may contain information that is not good for your health, so it is best not to eat them. The fifth, do not indiscriminately eat health care products health care products are mostly drugs, have their yin and yang five elements of partiality, if not taken according to the needs of the body, may lead to imbalance of yin and yang, but affect health. In addition, health care products to the market for the purpose of profit, its value and price is not equal. Sixth, do not take all kinds of supplements indiscriminately Chinese people used to send some supplements when visiting the sick, if they do not belong to the deficiency evidence and abuse the supplements, then the more supplements the more serious the disease will be. Seventh, stay away from genetically modified food any food eaten by humans must be active. For example, the grains we eat are the seeds of plants, which contain the ability to reproduce offspring and grow new life in the soil. Although genetically modified seeds are also born from the five elements of the seasons, they do not contain the life activity that can reproduce offspring and are dead. Humans do not eat sterilized food. Eight, the diet to the time most help to nourish the health of the time when the gas and blood flow into the stomach meridian, eat a warm breakfast at this time can promote the mid-jiao qi and blood rise, conducive to the whole day have good mental energy. Not when the qi and blood flow into the small intestine, at this time to eat a hearty lunch can let the small intestine to fully absorb the essence contained in the food, is conducive to keeping the qi and blood healthy and sufficient. At night, Yang Qi begins to converge, Yin is long and Yang is weak, eat some coarse tea and light meals before going to bed.
