Introduction: In spring, the yang is rising, and diseases are prevalent. A reasonable diet helps to improve human immunity and prevent diseases. Chinese medicine suggests that you should eat more sweets in spring to tonify the spleen and kidney. Eating jujube and yam often helps to improve human immunity, so you can eat more.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring corresponds to the liver in the five internal organs, which is prone to excessive liver qi, adversely affecting the spleen and stomach and hindering the normal digestion and absorption of food. Sweet food can nourish the spleen and stomach, while sour food enters the liver, and its sexual convergence. Eating more is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi in spring, and it will also make the already vigorous liver qi more vigorous, causing greater harm to the spleen and stomach. This is also one of the reasons why diseases such as chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer are easy to recur in spring.
The sweet food mentioned in Chinese medicine not only means that the food tastes a little sweet, but more importantly, it has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach. Among these foods, jujube and yam are the first.
1, eat three dates a day and you will never get old.
As the first season of health preservation, how to eat red dates correctly in spring? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring health preservation mainly protects yang, spleen and liver. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the homology of medicine and food, and food tonic can warm up more than medicine tonic. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, once said: In spring, we should eat more sweets and less acidic food to increase the digestive capacity of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, everyone should eat more sweets in spring, but not more, eat less sour food, and supplement the spleen and stomach of the human body in moderation. Spleen is the main driving force of human digestive ability, so a good spleen will make people's digestive ability stronger, thus making people healthy and live longer. People mistakenly think that the liver should be supplemented in spring, but if it is supplemented more, the liver qi will be too strong, so the pressure on the spleen will also increase, which is not conducive to the health of the spleen. Jujube is sweet, warm and not a tonic, which is beneficial to long-term use.
There is also a record about jujube in Compendium of Materia Medica: Jujube is sweet in taste, flat in nature, flat in the middle, nourishing the heart, calming stomach qi, dredging nine orifices, helping the twelve meridians, replenishing less qi, and prolonging life after long-term administration. Clinical medical phenomena show that jujube has a good medical effect, such as hypertension, acute and chronic hepatitis, various tumor diseases and so on. Eating more dates is beneficial to modern medical care, so health experts strongly recommend it. Jujube is cheap and good, and it is a food that everyone can improve. Regular use can effectively regulate human essence and replenish blood gas.
Therefore, you might as well eat more dates in spring. Jujube can be drunk directly in water or eaten with other nutritious foods. Whether eaten raw or cooked, it can play a good role in supplementing nutrition. Jujube is rich in protein, sugar, vitamins and carotene.
2, spleen and qi should eat yam
Yam is especially suitable for spring. It is nutritious, has the function of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, and can prevent spleen from being damaged by excessive liver qi in spring. It can tonify kidney and essence, and enhance human resistance.
Practice: Rice boiled into porridge, mixed with white sugar and steamed yam mud, can strengthen the spleen and lungs, strengthen the body, nourish the kidney and replenish essence, which is very suitable for the weak and middle-aged and elderly people. If you add red dates to cook, the nourishing effect will be better.
Warm reminder, eating yam or jujube often can improve human immunity. If jujube, yam, rice and millet are cooked together, it can not only prevent the recurrence of gastritis and gastric ulcer, but also reduce the chance of catching infectious diseases such as influenza, which is very suitable for spring consumption.
