If you often read health magazines, you will see many articles suggesting that people eat fruits to supplement vitamins, and think that vitamin supplementation is bound to eat more fruits, and even eat fruits as the main meal. As we all know, all kinds of vegetables and fruits you eat should not be willful.
Delicious melons and fruits are not enough to eat.
When seeing western medicine, many doctors will suggest "eat more fruits, supplement vitamins and improve resistance". On the contrary, when seeing Chinese medicine, many Chinese medicine practitioners will repeatedly remind "don't eat too much cold things, especially fruits"! Many people will worry: "So, how to eat fruit?"
Huangdi Neijing? Su Wen? The theory of storing qi clearly warns that "poison attacks evil." Five fruits are helpful, five animals are beneficial, five dishes are stuffed, and the smell is combined to replenish essence. These five tastes are bitter, bitter and salty, each with its own strong points, or scattered, or collected, or slow, or urgent, or firm, or soft, and stored in four seasons and five seasons, the disease is suitable for five tastes. "
Five grains can nourish the qi of the five internal organs, five fruits can help the five grains balance nutrition and nourish people's livelihood, five animals can improve health and make up for the deficiency of protein and fat in vegetarian food, fresh food can beautify the face, five vegetables can supplement the vitamins needed by the human body, and rich dietary fiber can dredge stagnation.
The implication is that grain staple food is the foundation of human survival, while fruits, vegetables and meat are auxiliary, beneficial and supplementary staple foods. We can't reverse the priority.
In addition, "health treasure" warns people: "food is not greedy, but expensive." Chinese medicine believes that the ingredients used in dietary nutrition also have medicinal value. For example, Sun Simiao's "Qian Jin Fang" in the Tang Dynasty said: "Anyone who wants to be cured will be given diet therapy, and then medication will be used."
The harm of eating more fruits.
Some people see that eating bananas and apples can promote defecation and relieve constipation, so they insist on eating bananas every day. Over time, you can't defecate without eating bananas.
Some people think that fruits can be beauty beauty, not to mention "300 lychees a day", so they make fruit salads every day, and as a result, pimples keep popping up on their faces.
Even think that fruit helps to improve memory, not only buy various vitamins, but also children often eat fruit. Therefore, eating fruit every day may not significantly improve intelligence.
Fruit helps damp and cold, and hurts the spleen and stomach.
In life, many fruits are mostly sweet and cold products, which are easy to help wet and cold. Eating too much fruit will be harmful. Especially people with spleen and stomach deficiency or weakness, try not to eat fruit.
China people belong to the yellow-skinned race, but Chinese medicine believes that the five elements of the spleen (stomach) belong to soil and are yellowish in color. Clinically, spleen and stomach diseases will turn yellow at first sight, so people in China are all spleen and stomach diseases.
Chinese medicine warns people to abstain from fruits and eat less fruits, which is closely related to the basic theory of Chinese medicine. In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "cold is harmful to the lungs". Zhang Zhongjing treats diseases, the first taboo is cold. The so-called cold, is not heating, cold, and fruit is cold, sweet, easy to hurt the spleen and lungs.
Lung injury is prone to cough, asthma, laryngitis (pharyngolaryngitis, tonsillitis, adenoid hypertrophy), acne, alopecia, addiction (urticaria), allergic rhinitis, lip wind and so on. Spleen injury can easily lead to Shui Gu's subtle transport disorder, anorexia, malnutrition, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal fullness, oral ulcer and bad breath.
Clinically, it is often seen that some patients recover quickly after not eating fruit according to the doctor's advice. Once they can't help stealing once, they will obviously feel the flood of moisture in their bodies. The most obvious experience is the change of tongue coating-thick and greasy tongue coating will appear after eating fruit.
The principle of eating fruit every day:
(1) local fruit. The so-called "one side of the soil and water to support one side" is also. 2 in season. (3) accord with one's own constitution. Enough is enough, not too much.
Beware of people who eat fruit.
1, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold passed.
Try not to eat fruit, so as to avoid the fruit entering the gastrointestinal tract and not being emptied in time, and rotting in the gastrointestinal tract.
On the sour gas, the mouth, eyes, nose, tongue and other head and face orifices are smoked and burned, resulting in acid swallowing, laryngitis (pharyngolaryngitis), breast moth (tonsil hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy), sore mouth and tongue, greasy tongue coating, bad breath, sinusitis, nasal congestion, sty and so on. Stagnation due to rot and heat is epigastric fullness, epigastric pain, heartburn, fullness in chest and hypochondrium, chest tightness, bloating, rodents (grinding their teeth while sleeping) and dreaminess. As soon as the heat of decay is put down, it will cause abdominal distension, cavity discharge, constipation, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids, bloody stool, vulva itching and so on.
2. People with lung qi deficiency and wind-cold weakness in the past.
It is not advisable to eat more fruits to avoid repeated cough, asthma, chills, bad wind and allergic diseases.
3, kidney yang deficiency.
"Peng Zu's Theory of Health Preservation" says, "Five flavors should not be partial to food, sour hurts the spleen, bitter hurts the lung, bitter hurts the liver, sweet hurts the kidney, salty hurts the heart." The sweetness of fruit can easily lead to bad temper and lead to renal failure (its essence is that Ganduo helps damp evil and increases the burden of kidney in controlling water and liquid metabolism), thus aggravating kidney deficiency, leading to alopecia, hair loss, dental caries, toothache, waist and knee pain, tinnitus and deafness, nocturnal emission, insomnia, night sweats and muscle weakness. People with liver deficiency should not eat more fruits to avoid drowsiness, jaundice and hypochondriac pain.
4. Old people and children
In particular, people with weak viscera function and low spleen and stomach transport and transformation function should try to eat less or no fruit, so as not to hinder the stomach and qi movement due to cold, leading to food accumulation, constipation, abdominal distension, anorexia and anorexia. Food accumulated over time will cause rot and heat, such as mouth sores, throat inflammation, tonsillitis, sinusitis (rhinitis), cough, asthma, rot and so on.
Some old people have heard that eating fruit can promote defecation. In fact, fruit can temporarily relieve constipation, but excessive consumption will damage the gastrointestinal tract, so it is not recommended to eat fruit to relieve constipation.
For children, once they know that the fruit tastes delicious, it is difficult to control, easy to overeat and damage the spleen, leading to anorexia, constipation or diarrhea, malnutrition and so on. Clinically, children often suffer from tonsillitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, cough, anorexia, constipation and other diseases because of eating fruits. Tell them repeatedly every time, "Don't eat fruit!" Some children's health has improved. When parents see that their children haven't eaten fruit for a long time, there is no fruit for their children to eat. Come on-they used it to recuperate soon after eating, and the old disease recurred!
Chinese medicine is emboldened and glorious.
Since the COVID-19 epidemic in the year of Gengzi, we have also seen that China's traditional Chinese medicine culture has played a more significant advantage than western medicine in this anti-epidemic war.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Dietary Health Care knew the principle of cooking health care from the Book of Changes in Shang Dynasty, and wrote Tang Ye Materia Medica, followed by Huangdi Neijing, Shanhaijing, Shennong Materia Medica, Shijing, Food Prescription, Emergency Prescription, Taiping Shenghui Prescription, Drinking and Dietotherapy, Compendium of Materia Medica, etc.
We all know that "one side of the soil and water supports one side of the people", so we should make good use of the delicious food brought to me by this fertile soil where we live. Don't copy the western nutrition health-keeping model, as yellow skin, use a theory that is more suitable for your own physique-China traditional medical health-keeping model.
We can't abandon the holistic view to discuss health care, because the human body is a whole. We should remember that "man and nature are an organic whole, and the small environment of the human body must be integrated into the big environment of nature in order to maintain the harmonious relationship between man and nature."
Sweet-scented osmanthus, fruitful. Persimmon is red, hawthorn is red, and Xinger is yellow ... Fruity and delicious fruits and vegetables are mouth watering. However, we must remember "moderate diet" and don't harm our health in order to satisfy our appetite!
Three-point rule and seven-point support, for the sake of health, we must pay attention to keeping your mouth shut! Here again: you must pay attention to taboos when you are sick and take medicine! No fruit! Fruit is a cold product, which is not conducive to drug absorption and utilization!
