Different colors of food have a harmonious relationship with the yin-yang and five elements of the human body. A proper diet contributes to health. In fact, as long as we absorb five colors of food in each meal, we can combine the five elements and harmonize the five internal organs, thus nourishing the body's function.
Eat "five-color" food to nourish the five internal organs. 1. Blue (wood) (liver, gallbladder, muscle)
Eating more blue food is good for the liver. It has the function of soothing the liver and strengthening the liver. It is a "detoxification agent" for human body, and spinach, mung bean and kiwi fruit are all great choices.
Blue food can regulate the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach, and also provide vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other nutrients needed by the human body.
Second, red (fire) (heart, small intestine, tongue)
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that red is fire, and "fire" is used to represent "heart", so red food has the functions of benefiting qi and enriching blood, generating blood and generating lymph.
Moreover, red foods have strong antioxidant capacity, such as carrots, tomatoes and red beans.
Third, yellow (earth) (spleen, stomach, mouth)
Regular consumption of yellow food contributes to digestion and absorption, which is beneficial to the spleen and stomach. Representative foods are soybeans, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and bananas.
Fourth, white (gold)? (lung, large intestine)
White belongs to gold in the five elements, mainly caring for the lungs and large intestine, benefiting qi and having an impact on the respiratory system. Such as yam, lotus root, pear, lily, etc. They are all good health ingredients.
Five, black (water) (kidney, bladder, ear, bone)
Black food refers to natural animals and plants with various colors of black or purple and dark brown.
Black is the main water in the five elements, corresponding to the kidney. Therefore, proper supplementation of black food is beneficial to the kidneys. Black beans, black sesame seeds, mushrooms and laver have high nutritional, health and medicinal values.
