Men should not indulge in excessive nourishment in spring

1. Food can also assist in drug treatment

The so-called dietary therapy, also known as dietary tonics in traditional Chinese medicine, is the use of food itself to maintain human health and assist in drug prevention and treatment. There is a specialized volume in "Qianjin Yaofang" called "dietary therapy", which introduces the properties of fruits, vegetables, rice, birds, animals, and insects, as well as their effects on the human body. People often say that "medicine and food have the same origin", not that they eat medicine and food together, but that many foods themselves have the dual effects of food and medicine. Dietary therapy is generally suitable for all ages, but strictly speaking, it should also vary from person to person depending on the nature and taste of the food. Ordinary foods such as rice and flour have dual effects on food and medicine, including ginger, scallions, dates, longan meat, goji berries, mulberry berries, wine, vinegar, etc. These foods are very different from traditional Chinese medicine and can be called "medicinal food homology". Pure Chinese medicinal herbs can only be consumed during the treatment of diseases, such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, cordyceps sinensis, etc. It is best to use them with caution for those who are not seriously ill.

2. Food should also be divided into different genders and flavors

Even for foods that share the same origin of medicine and food, it is best to distinguish one's own constitution, recognize the sexual taste of the food, and have a targeted approach. Food is divided into four types: cold, cool, warm, and hot. Cold foods such as bitter gourd, radish, seaweed, and cabbage can clear heat, relieve fire, relieve constipation, and detoxify. Those with a cold constitution should not eat more; Hot foods such as ginger, scallions, chives, chili peppers, lamb, dog meat, etc. can be used to warm up and dissipate cold, tonify the kidneys and yang, and replenish qi. Those with a Yang deficiency constitution can eat them, but not the opposite. Otherwise, it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs of the human body belong to the meridians, and some foods happen to have obvious effects on certain organs of the human body. You can eat more in moderation, such as ginger and cinnamon, which are beneficial for the spleen and can increase appetite; Persimmons and honey can nourish yin, moisten dryness, and relieve cough; Mustard and water chestnuts can dissolve phlegm and are beneficial for the lungs; Goji berries and pig liver can brighten the eyes; Peach kernels, almonds, bananas to relieve cough and relieve constipation; Hawthorn, lotus seeds, and spinach aid digestion.

3. Tonic Diet should not be disorderly

There are many effects of food, which generally play a certain role of medicine, but there are other effects that can be combined with real drugs, so that the effect will be better. In fact, it is the most commonly said Tonic Diet diet. However, Tonic Diet can not be eaten casually. It is exquisite, and should be determined according to the climate, region, age, gender, under the guidance of professionals, and according to individual physique.
