Ancient diet health
In the struggle of production and life, people gradually understand and realize that many items are both food and medicine because of eating plants and hunting. China's earliest Huangdi Neijing clearly pointed out:? Five grains are nourishing, five fruits are helping, five stores are benefiting, five dishes are filling, and the smell is consistent to supplement the essence. ? Only diet and health preservation can improve human health. Below I have compiled the knowledge about ancient diet and health preservation for you, hoping it will be useful to you.

Ancient diet health

Not partial to meat. When Mr. Hong Zhaoguang talks about this truth, he often gives examples to say that people have 28-32 teeth and 4 canine teeth, which are used for eating meat and can be bitten. Eight front teeth, called front teeth, are used to cut vegetables and fruits like knives. People also have molars, that is, molars. 16, like grinding, are used to grind grain. In other words, there are fewer teeth to eat meat and more teeth to eat vegetables and whole grains. Therefore, people's diet structure should be a combination of meat and vegetables, mainly vegetarian. Nowadays, some people eat European-style food, and eat too much high-fat and high-protein food, so there are countless obese children and fatty liver patients. Especially, many young people in their thirties have stood up with beer bellies, which is very dangerous.

Eat more vegetables. The World Health Organization and the World Cancer Research Foundation suggest that everyone should eat 400-800g of vegetables every day, but the average intake of China people is 276.2g, which is obviously low. Many vegetables are not only delicious, but also have health care functions. For example, chrysanthemum brain and Artemisia selengensis, whether fried in cold sauce, are delicious and can clear away heat and detoxify. Onion and garlic can stimulate appetite, relax bowels and reduce blood fat, celery can clear away heat and dispel wind, relax bowels and lower blood pressure, and red and yellow vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots contain lycopene, carotene and other nutrients beneficial to human body, which are all health-care vegetables suitable for modern people to eat.

Also eat more beans. Soybean is an ideal source of protein for human beings. Its amino acid ratio is reasonable and easy to be absorbed and utilized by human body. It also contains high calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, nicotinic acid, soybean lecithin, soybean isoflavone and so on, and has outstanding health care effect.

Not eccentric. A salty diet is unhealthy. The highest incidence of hypertension in Japan is in Akita Prefecture and Hokkaido in the northeast, where people often eat salted fish and pickles, while the incidence of hypertension in Okinawa is low, where people eat more fresh vegetables and fish, which tastes lighter. Nutritionists in China suggest that salt should not exceed 5 grams per person per day, which is the amount of a beer bottle cap. People in China eat many kinds of dishes. Although a single dish is not salty, if you eat more varieties, the total amount of salt will increase. In addition to strictly controlling the amount of edible salt, we should also eat less salted beans, bacon, salted eggs, fermented bean curd and salt-processed sauces.

Pay attention to ancient diet health

1, diet sometimes

Zou Xuan, a Yuan Dynasty physician, said: Eat and taste harmoniously, and all diseases are not born? . Eating on time can make the body get all kinds of nutrition, make the blood full and make the body strong. Eat regularly and pay attention to the harmony of diet taste.

2, diet should not be partial eclipse

"Pharmacognosy of abalone" puts forward:? Whatever is good, don't believe it, it will hurt and get sick; Don't throw away all evil things. If you throw them away, the dirty air will be uneven. ? Dietary results should be rich and not biased. If you have food you don't like, don't force yourself to love it, but don't absolutely not eat it. If you have favorite food, don't be too partial. Otherwise, it will easily lead to nutritional imbalance in the body, and too much preference for a certain food will also lead to physical diseases.

3, the food should be light

In the Song Dynasty, the book Medical Theory said:? Degreasing and concentrating, saving acid and alkali. ? It means that the daily diet is mainly light vegetarian, and less fat, sweet and salty dishes are eaten. Obviously, at present, most people are hurt by too much fat in their diet, which leads to high blood lipid and cholesterol, and eventually leads to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A light diet, less oil, less salt, less sugar and other condiments, is really good for your health.

Step 4 eat at a moderate temperature

? Have enough to eat and drink, is it not hot or cold? This is an incisive exposition of dietary temperature in ancient books. Usually, we all think that we should eat hot food and drink hot water instead of cold food. But in fact, this is a wrong approach. What is the correct dietary temperature? Text? Instead of. Is it hot? Or? Is it cool? . Medical research has found that people in some areas with high incidence of esophageal cancer are generally used to eating hot noodles that have just been cooked. Long-term high temperature stimulation can also cause canceration of digestive tract mucosa.

5. Food should be limited.

Fang:? When you eat and drink, you are hungry. ,? Every food can't be reused. ? Eating too much will harm the causes of various diseases in the body. The so-called hunger and satiety means that the diet is 8 points full, but not enough, and don't be too hungry. Eating too much will damage the qi of the spleen and stomach and easily cause other metabolic diseases. Hunger will also hurt the spleen and stomach. Not only can't lose weight, but it will hurt the spleen and stomach, affect transportation and make you fatter.

6. Eat slowly.

The history of Qing dynasty puts forward:? Chewing slowly is good for people. The essence of eating can nourish the five internal organs. Spleen and stomach are easy to digest, secondly; Do not choke, if swallowed, three also. ? The first process of chewing food and digestion, if swallowed directly without careful chewing, will directly damage the spleen and stomach, cause stomach pain, acid reflux, bloating and other discomfort, and will get sick over time. Chewing food slowly is also easier to be digested and absorbed by the body and used by the internal organs of the body.

7. concentrate on eating

"The Analects of Confucius. "Hard-working Villages and Towns" says: Eat without words, sleep without words. ? It is required to pay attention when eating, which is beneficial to stomach intake and food digestion. Eating and talking may cause coughing or even food choking into the respiratory tract, so not talking while eating is not only a matter of etiquette, but also of health significance.

8. Don't eat after you get angry.

Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, pointed out:? People have to eat and worry. ? Don't get angry after dinner, and don't eat after you get angry. Maintaining a good mental state before and after eating is good for your health. Anger will hurt the liver, and liver qi will offend the stomach. Whether you are angry after a meal or eat after being angry, it will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to chronic gastritis and even ulcers. What needs to be pointed out here is that the occurrence of chronic gastritis is by no means as simple as Helicobacter pylori infection, and most of them are caused by emotional problems or long-term depression and tension. In fact, even if Helicobacter pylori turns negative after taking antibiotics, all the symptoms of stomach disease still exist. Therefore, spleen and stomach diseases are particularly important for emotional management.

9. Choose your food carefully

Hu Sihui put forward in Yuan Dynasty:? Don't eat rotten meat, infected meat of dead pigs and sheep, naked meat and discolored cook the meat. ? This mainly means that we should pay attention to food hygiene and carefully choose foods with uncertain quality.

10, after-meal health care

Fang mentioned:? Rinse your mouth several times after eating to make your teeth unbeaten and your mouth fragrant. When you knock 36 teeth, your mouth will be full, and your food will easily disappear, which is good for people. Lying full, food does not pile up, but it is sick. ? This reminds us to pay attention to oral hygiene and health care. Biting teeth after meals can make salivary glands secrete vigorously, and digestive enzymes in saliva can promote digestion. Tapping the teeth is also beneficial to the firmness of the teeth.
