The New Year’s Eve dinner is the most sumptuous meal of the year, without a few “hard dishes”. The family reunion day, no meat is not happy, but here first to give you some tips on eating meat, hope you eat happy, eat healthy! First, mutton mutton, is one of the most frequently used raw materials for therapeutic meat by doctors in the past generations. Zhang Zhongjing, a great medical doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, used mutton to treat epidemic viral diseases, such as colds, typhoid caused by a decline in human resistance, deficiency, lethargy, weakness, etc. Hu Qia, a famous doctor in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, used mutton to treat gynecological diseases. Chao Yuanfang, a great physician in the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, used mutton as a dietary treatment to cure the heart disease of Ma Shumou, the chief administrator. It is recorded in the history books that Chao Yuanfang advised that: the wind enters the couples, the disease is in the chest and the heart, it must be steamed with tender fat lamb and then mixed with medicine to eat. Sure enough, as Chao Yuanfang said, before the medicine was finished, Ma Shumou’s heart disease was cured. Li Dongyuan, one of the “Four Masters of the Golden Age”, praised mutton as the ginseng in meat. Li Dongyuan said: mutton has a tangible thing, can complement the tangible muscle gas. Therefore said: “complement can go weak, the genus of ginseng. Ginseng for gas, mutton for the shape. All taste the same as mutton, are complementary to blood deficiency, cover the Yang Sheng Yin long also.” How to cook mutton: mutton is hot in nature, so if you want to take its heat, you can roast it and eat it to increase its fire, which is used to dispel cold and relieve pain; if you want to take its blood, you can boil it and eat it; add ginger to the stomach to treat stomach diseases; add cumin to the uterus to treat gynecological diseases; add pepper to stop sweating and dispel the cold on the skin, while dispersing the cold inside; add green onion to the lungs to treat lung diseases. Generally speaking, lamb leg meat has a bitter taste and is more of a fire and heart in the Chinese medical flavor classification, so I generally use lamb leg meat in clinical practice to treat cold diseases. The meat on the shoulder of the lamb tastes sweeter and can be used to replenish blood, replenish yin with yang, yang rises then yin grows. Beef Cattle, in ancient China, is a collective name for different species and genera of domestic animals in the bovine family, usually referring to yellow or common cattle and buffalo, but also including yaks and so on. What we are talking about here is mainly yellow cattle; buffalo meat is flat in nature and has little tonic effect; while yak meat is hot in nature and has a strong tonic effect and is effective for plateau reactions, but the source is difficult and the nature and taste are not very clear, so it is not chosen. Beef was used late in the history of Chinese medicine, and its great function was not discovered until the Jin-Yuan period. Beef tastes sweet, is warm in nature and can nourish the qi. It has been very well established in the period of the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine that beef belongs to the spleen and earth, and there has been no controversy for more than two thousand years. The spleen of cattle is very useful because it is a part of the spleen in the Five Organs, and the spleen of cattle is closer to the human spleen, so the spleen of cattle is used to supplement the human spleen. Going back to what was said earlier, the spleen in Chinese medicine was incorrectly translated as the pancreas a hundred years ago, so that means that the cow’s spleen also complements the pancreas and is good for pancreatic diseases including diabetes. Not only the cow’s spleen, but also beef is an excellent tonic for the spleen and is good for all diseases caused by spleen failure. The spleen and stomach are healthy and the vitality of the body does not decline; while the spleen is weak, there are many diseases. From this point of view, beef is a great tonic, but not the more you eat, the better. From the point of view of the sexual taste of beef, in food therapy, generally choose the two sides of the crest or shoulder meat is better. Rib (beef rib eye), Short Loin (front loin), SirLoin (sirloin) are the right choices. Beef is nutritious and tasty, containing twice as much protein as pork, and higher vitamin content, and contains the twelve amino acids needed by the human body, while the fat and cholesterol content is low. Therefore, beef is very suitable for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, vascular sclerosis and other types of spleen failure patients. However, beef is a hairy substance, for skin diseases, chronic inflammation, kidney recession patients, or to be careful, lest the disease aggravate. Three, pork Pork, delicious, is one of the most commonly consumed meat in China. However, Chinese medical doctors, since ancient times, believe that pork is not considered good meat, not recommended to eat more. Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, said, “The pig is the most useful, but the meat should not be eaten more, people are fat, cover the virtual muscle caused by.” Sun Simiao, a great medical doctor of the Tang Dynasty, said: “Where pork for a long time, people less sperm, hair disease. Guinea pig meat for a long time to eat, people all over the body tendons and flesh broken pain lack of gas.” The Materia Medica, said: “Where the pork can close the blood, weak tendons and bones, deficiency of human muscle, should not be eaten for a long time, especially for patients with gold sores.” From these ancient views, pork eating too much, mainly will make people weak, easy to obesity, blood, tendons and bones weakness. But this is about more food, general daily diet of about three taels should be okay. Generally speaking, people with a weak stomach and intestines should eat less pork, and people with a weak body, stroke patients, and people with weak physical strength should also eat less pork. Eat pork to avoid the shortcomings, depending on how to eat, pure lean pork contains less fat than beef, lamb, even lower than the fat contained in skinless chicken, such as the pork crest meat is very thin. It is because of its cool nature that pork can nourish yin, and it is nourishing kidney yin, so pork also has its unique role. See? Also eating meat, we can eat healthier!
