The fourth chapter of Huangdi's Neijing, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, classifies the five flavors of food or medicine: southern red, entering the heart, opening the ears, and storing essence in the heart, so it is bitter in the five internal organs ... "Let me take a photo for everyone to see.
"Its taste is bitter", which means ~ Bitterness can dispel people's evil heart fire and strengthen the kidney; Eating bitterness is good for our mind ~ by adjusting our mind, we can achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
For example, we can all see in life that some people will drink some kudingcha; Some people will drink bitter coffee (that is, the kind that looks delicious, haha); Some people will eat bitter gourd or stir-fry bitter vegetables ... won't they?
This is because bitterness is sometimes used as an appetizer-when you feel that you have no appetite and can't eat anything, eat something bitter before meals and you will feel that you have an appetite.
However, it doesn't mean that the bitter food is better for your health, but it depends on your taste and physical condition: you should master a degree of bitterness-a small amount of bitterness, and we can help people increase their appetite; But eating too much will also hurt your stomach.
Aunt Wu told you that bitterness is just a taste. As for the effect, it depends on the "cold, hot and cool" properties of this food: bitter cold and bitter temperature; For example, bitter gourd and coptis chinensis are bitter and cold ~ suitable for people suffering from heat. Of course, if there is no heating, they usually have diarrhea.
On the contrary, bitter and warm food or medicine can clear away the cold toxin in the body ~ for example, depressed people have small pimples in their hearts and need to use crispy rice, rice coke and Pinellia ternata; If you keep eating bitter and cold food, it will only make things worse, won't it?
Therefore, "people are like money", at least there are two sides; How healthy? I am Aunt Wu, a family member with the same or different views. Please leave a message in the comments section. See you tomorrow.
