I. Principles

1, health focus: four seasons, flirting.

Dialectical health care, lifelong health care, comprehensive health care, perseverance

2, health points.

① Cultivation of healthy qi: People cultivate normal and regular thinking activities and lifestyles, that is, keep healthy qi.

Qi is the basic substance that constitutes and maintains human life activities. As the saying goes, "righteousness exists inside, and evil cannot be done."

2 Conform to nature: People are required to keep fit not only with climate change all the year round, but also with the surrounding external environment at any time.

(3) the spirit of enlightenment: "happiness, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise" is called the seven emotions. We should not only maintain the health of ideological activities, but also prevent the emergence of internal mental stimulation factors. In short, we should cultivate an optimistic mood and an open mind.

3. Health care is not specifically aimed at diseases, but through sleep, diet, emotional adjustment and guidance. , so that the body balance of Yin and Yang, five elements of peace.

4.① The way of keeping in good health:? The four seasons are comfortable in cold and summer, emotional harmony, careful diet and daily life, solid five internal organs and meridians, avoiding deficiency and evil and calming the qi.

Conforming to nature-the foundation of survival-coordinating viscera and balancing yin and yang

② The essence of health preservation:? The body is not covered, and the spirit is not scattered.

③ The core of health care: harmonize and balance Yin and Yang.

(4) Health principle:

Coordinate viscera, protect yang and benefit yin;

? Smooth meridians and harmonize qi and blood;

Quiet and refreshing, abstinence essence;

Adjust your breath and nourish your qi, and persevere.

First, strengthen the coordination of viscera and enhance the vitality of the body's metabolism.

Second, when there is occasional disharmony between zang-fu organs, it should be adjusted in time to correct its deviation. As one of the guiding principles of health preservation, these two aspects are implemented in various health preservation methods.

For example, four seasons health care emphasizes nourishing liver in spring, heart in summer, spleen in long summer, lung in autumn and kidney in winter; In the aspect of mental health care, emphasize flirting comfort and avoid five emotions damaging the five internal organs; Emphasize the harmony of five flavors in diet and health care, not too extreme.

5. Comprehensive nursed back to health: Comprehensive nursed back to health focuses on the relationship between man and nature, viscera and meridians, spirit and emotion, qi and blood, etc. note:

(1) Should the feeding be moderate? Don't raise too much and don't be too late. According to the law of life activities, it is just right.

Don't be too eccentric? We advocate the combination of activity and rest, the combination of work and rest, the supplement and reduction of deficiency, the nourishment of body and mind, the whole body care, not too much loss, too much use will ignore other aspects.

(3) Based on consideration? It is emphasized that nursing should be targeted and analyzed according to the actual situation and specific problems. It can be given separately for people, time and place, and cannot be generalized.

6. Five gases refer to the five gases that people exhale and inhale in the five hours of' spring, summer, long summer, autumn and winter'. Five flavors refer to things that grow on the ground and can be eaten and drunk. To achieve harmony of five flavors:

① Appropriate shading;

② Pay attention to the collocation of various tastes; Sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty ingredients, properly matched, make the diet have various characteristics.

Don't taste too strong when eating, too strong is easy to hurt the five internal organs, which is not good for your health.

7. Four qi refers to cold, hot, warm and cool, and five flavors refer to sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and salty. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to "four qi and five flavors" as "sexual taste"

At two or four o'clock.

1, autumn: Yang gradually closes and Yin gradually increases. Eat less raw and cold foods such as lettuce salad, and eat cold dishes after boiling. Especially avoid melons and fruits to prevent "autumn melons are bad for the stomach". Watermelon and cantaloupe are easy to hurt spleen and stomach yang. Eat apples, persimmons, oranges, pears, grapes and longan in moderation. Fruits are the best in the season of solar terms. Eating out of season and out of region is easy to make mistakes.

2. Spring: mainly dried fruits and spring vegetables (such as spinach, lotus root and leek buds). Even if you eat jiaozi in the New Year, don't forget to add some vinegar. Vinegar is sour, and acid enters the liver first. The combination of acid and spring air can stimulate people's ability to develop wisdom and ideas, and make people plan, think, plan and do something in the new year.

3, summer: bitter gourd, zucchini and so on. Bitter taste is hidden in the gastrointestinal tract, and summer breath can nourish the heart. Watermelon in long summer is on the market. If it is sweet and harmonious with long summer, it will clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Pear grows in autumn, pungent and autumn gas are in harmony, which can moisten lung and clear dryness.

4, winter: walnuts. Radish and vegetables are in harmony with winter qi, nourishing essence and marrow, and strengthening brain.

Should be avoided three or four times.

1. Everything recovers in spring, and the human body's yang rises. At this time, you should raise yang, and choose some foods that can help yang in your diet, such as onions, leeks, black beans, etc., so that the anger gathered in a winter can be emitted. In terms of diet varieties, it is also necessary to change from thick paste in winter to mild taste. There are few varieties of vegetables in winter, and the vitamin intake of human body is often insufficient. Therefore, fresh vegetables, such as spring bamboo shoots, spinach, celery, Pacific cuisine, etc., should be selected in the spring dietary configuration. Among animal foods, we should eat less high-fat foods such as fat.

Chinese medicine also advocates: "In spring, the taste should be turned into sour and sweet to nourish the temper. Don't drink too much, and don't eat too many rice cakes, which will hurt the spleen and stomach and be difficult to digest. " These are all worthy of our attention.

It is not advisable to eat cold food, such as pears and lilies, especially cold drinks in early spring, and try to eat as little as possible; Let the mood be cheerful in spring; Don't sweat on the spring sleeve; Be sure to keep warm and don't wear single shoes too early; Fog is not suitable for exercise, and fog beads contain a lot of harmful substances such as dust and pathogenic microorganisms.

2. It is hot and rainy in summer, and it is easy to take advantage of the high temperature and humidity. People often lose their appetite and their digestive ability is weakened. Most people don't like fat and greasy food. Therefore, in dietary distribution, we should pay attention to the color, aroma and taste of food, try our best to arouse appetite and make the body get comprehensive and adequate nutrition.

Chinese medicine believes that in summer, yang is strong and yin is weak, so it is advisable to eat less spicy and dry food to avoid excessive damage to yin, and eat more sweet and sour products, such as mung beans, watermelons and ebony. "Shen Yiji" pointed out: "In summer, the heart is full of kidney failure. Although it is hot, it is not advisable to eat cold washed ice and snow, dense ice, bean jelly and cold porridge. " Otherwise, drinking too many cold drinks will cause abdominal chills, which will lead to gastrointestinal diseases such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, which is especially important for the elderly and infirm. In addition, food in summer is easy to rot and deteriorate. Therefore, we must pay attention to food hygiene in summer, and don't drink raw water to eat.

In autumn, the temperature is cool and dry. As the summer heat subsides, people get rid of the drowsiness of the summer heat and their appetite gradually improves. In addition, a large number of melons and fruits are listed, so we should pay special attention to "autumn melons are bad for the stomach".

After beginning of autumn, it is not advisable to eat more watermelons, cantaloupes and cabbages, otherwise it will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach. Due to the dry climate, we should pay attention to using less irritating foods, such as peppers and raw onions, and eat more soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, stem rice, honey, loquat, sugar cane, pineapple and dairy products. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Ting thought: "Eating porridge in the morning, bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, benefiting the diaphragm and nourishing the stomach, producing saliva and quenching thirst, makes people feel refreshed and make up for a lot", and advocated drinking more porridge in autumn morning.

4, the winter climate is cold, although it is appropriate to eat hot food, but hot things can not overeat, so as not to make latent yang depressed and hot. The taste of food can be moderate and strong, with certain lipids. Because there are few green leafy vegetables, we should pay attention to a certain amount of yellow-green vegetables, such as carrots, rape, spinach, mung bean sprouts, etc., to avoid vitamin A, vitamin B2 and vitamin C deficiency.

In order to resist the cold, we can use spicy food on condiments, such as pepper, onion, ginger, garlic and so on. In addition, you can eat more stewed meat, boiled fish and hot pot. Avoid sticking cold food in winter, which belongs to yin and is easy to hurt spleen and stomach yang. For people who are weak and old, winter is the best time for tonic.

Four or five flavors

⑵ Liking sweetness and sadness: People who like sweets are prone to phlegm, blocking the heart and causing diseases. Sweet food is high in calories, and it will also cause excess calories, which is easy to make people obese and cause arteriosclerosis, diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

⑶ Bitter taste hurts the spleen and stomach: a small amount of bitter food has an appetizing effect, while a large amount will damage the function of the spleen and stomach, causing loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and indigestion.

(4) Passion for getting angry: Spicy food has a strong divergent effect. Eating spicy food makes people consume gas and hurt body fluids, which is easy to cause constipation, sores on the mouth and tongue, and can also lead to acute and chronic stomach diseases, ulcers and hemorrhoids.

5. Salty kidney injury: Eating salty food can cause hypertension, kidney diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

③ Five-flavor taboo

Acid to tendons, don't eat too much acid when you are sick; Bitter bones, bone diseases should not suffer more; Don't eat too much when you are sick; If you are angry, don't eat too much when you are sick; Don't eat more salty blood and blood diseases.

2. Sweet

Chinese medicine believes that gan enters the spleen. Eating sweets can replenish qi and blood, replenish calories, relieve fatigue and detoxify the stomach. Sweetness has nourishing, tranquilizing and spasmolytic effects, such as brown sugar, longan meat, honey and rice flour. But patients with diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases should eat less.

② When is sweet food good for health?

⑴ Before exercise: During exercise, the human body pays a lot of physical strength, but it is not advisable to have a full meal before exercise. At this time, eating some sweets in moderation can meet the certain energy supply needed by the human body during exercise.

⑵ Too tired and hungry: At this time, the body loses too much heat energy and is weak. Eat some sweets, the sugar in which is absorbed by the blood faster than ordinary food, and quickly replenish physical fitness.

⑶ Dizziness and nausea: Drinking high-sugar water at this time can improve blood sugar and enhance disease resistance.

⑷ Diabetes hypoglycemia: When there are shock symptoms caused by hypoglycemia due to over-control of sugar intake, drinking sugar water or other sweet drinks can help patients through the critical period.

5] Vomiting or diarrhea: At this time, the patient's gastrointestinal function is disordered and dehydration symptoms appear. For example, drinking some salt and sugar water is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function.

③ When is it unhealthy to eat sweets?

Sometimes eating sweets is harmful to your health. For example, eating sweets after a full meal is the easiest way to gain weight. Too much sugar will stimulate insulin secretion and easily induce diabetes. Before going to bed and eating, taking sweets as daily routine food will lead to dental diseases, loss of appetite and obesity.

Step 3: Acid

(1) Chinese medicine says that "acid generates liver". Sour taste has the functions of astringing sweat, stopping sweating, stopping diarrhea, astringent essence and reducing urine. , such as ebony, dogwood, pomegranate, etc. Sour food can enhance digestive function and protect the liver. Eating regularly can not only help digestion and kill gastrointestinal bacteria, but also prevent colds, lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels.

② Tomatoes, hawthorn and oranges, which are mainly sour, are rich in vitamin C, which can prevent cancer, aging and arteriosclerosis.

4. bitter

There is an ancient saying that good medicine tastes bitter. Chinese medicine believes that "bitterness is born in the heart" and "bitterness enters the heart". Bitter taste has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, eliminating dampness, lowering qi and detoxifying, such as dried tangerine peel, bitter almond, bitter gourd and lily. Bitter taste has the function of dehumidification and diuresis. Bitter gourd, often eaten, can treat edema.

(2) Bitter medicine with sweets has lost its efficacy.

? Why?

(1) The chemical composition of drugs is complex. Sugar, especially brown sugar, contains many elements and impurities such as iron and calcium. Once protein and tannins in traditional Chinese medicine are combined with them, a chemical reaction will occur, which will make some effective components in the liquid medicine coagulate and denature, and then precipitate. This not only affects the curative effect, but also harms health.

⑵ Some drugs must use bitter taste to stimulate the secretion of digestive glands in order to play a therapeutic role. If sugar is added, this effect will be lost and the therapeutic effect will not be achieved.

(3) Sugar can interfere with the absorption of trace elements and vitamins, inhibit the efficacy of some antipyretic drugs, and degrade the effective components of some drugs, such as Semen Strychni, which is extremely bitter. Adding sugar will reduce the efficacy.

5. fragrant

Chinese medicine believes that spicy food enters the lungs. Pungent taste has the functions of dispersing, promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation, sweating and regulating qi. People often eat onions, garlic, ginger, peppers and prickly ash, mainly spicy food. The "spicy element" contained in these foods can not only protect blood vessels, but also regulate qi and blood and dredge meridians. Regular consumption can prevent colds and colds. However, people suffering from hemorrhoids, constipation and neurasthenia should not eat it.

Are you suitable for eating Chili?

(1) People with fever, ulcer, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, hemorrhoids, dermatitis, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, hypertension and other diseases should not eat a lot of peppers. ?

Thin people should not eat more peppers. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, thin people mostly belong to yin deficiency and heat constitution. The so-called "thin people have more fires" is open-minded. Such people often show dry throat, bitter taste, bloodshot eyes, top-heavy, irritability. If you eat more peppers, it will not only aggravate the above symptoms, but also easily lead to bleeding, allergies and inflammation, and even sores and carbuncles in severe cases.

⑶ Hyperthyroidism patients should not eat Chili. Patients with hyperthyroidism are often in a state of high excitement, and it is not appropriate to eat foods with strong irritation such as peppers. Because hyperthyroidism patients are prone to tachycardia, eating Chili peppers will accelerate the heartbeat and aggravate the symptoms. ?

⑷ Patients with nephritis should not eat Chili. Studies have proved that the pungent ingredients of foods containing pungent ingredients such as pepper and various spicy condiments (such as onion, ginger, garlic, curry, mustard, pepper, etc.) are often excreted through the kidney during human metabolism. These spicy ingredients have different degrees of stimulation to renal parenchymal cells, which will affect renal function in severe cases.

(3) Because pepper is a spicy food, the following people should eat less or not to avoid getting worse.

(1) patients with hemorrhoids

If patients with hemorrhoids eat a lot of irritating foods such as peppers, it will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, aggravate the pain of hemorrhoids, and even lead to symptoms such as bleeding. Patients with hemorrhoids should drink more water, eat more fruits and eat less or no peppers.

(2) People with eye diseases

Patients suffering from eye diseases such as pinkeye and keratitis, eating Chili will aggravate eye diseases. In the course of treatment, a large number of spicy foods such as pepper, ginger, garlic, pepper and mustard will also affect the curative effect.

⑶ Patients with chronic cholecystitis

Patients with chronic cholecystitis should avoid spicy foods such as pepper, white wine and mustard, because these foods can stimulate gastric acid secretion, easily cause gallbladder contraction and induce biliary colic.

(4) People with poor gastrointestinal function

Although eating pepper can stimulate appetite, people with poor gastrointestinal function will have gastrointestinal mucosal inflammation and should avoid eating pepper.

5] Fever patient

People with fever, constipation, nosebleeds, dry mouth, sore throat and other fever symptoms, eating spicy food will aggravate the symptoms.

[6] motherhood.

Within a week after delivery, eating Chili peppers not only makes women "get angry", but also causes constipation and other symptoms, which will also affect the baby and aggravate the baby's getting angry.

(7) Patients with oral ulcer

The patient's mouth is sensitive to salty, spicy, sour and bitter taste, and eating Chili will aggravate the pain.

These patients should pay special attention not to eat spicy food. In fact, normal people should eat spicy food in moderation, and should do what they can according to their own eating ability. Otherwise, eating and eating will be addictive, but it will have adverse effects on the body.

6, salty

(1) is the top of the five flavors, and you can never get tired of eating it. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "salty enters the kidney", and the salty taste has the functions of diarrhea, softening and hardening, dispersing stagnation, nourishing yin and nourishing blood, such as salt, kelp, laver and jellyfish. It has the functions of regulating the permeability of human cells and blood and maintaining normal metabolism. After vomiting, diarrhea and sweating, you should drink a proper amount of light salt water to maintain normal metabolism.

② Excessive salt diet and gastric cancer "zero distance"

Salty eating is one of the high risk factors of gastric cancer. British and Japanese scientists have found that people who love salty food have twice the risk of developing gastric cancer.

After people eat too much high-salt food, the osmotic pressure of stomach contents increases, which can cause direct damage to gastric mucosa. Animal experiments showed that when rats were fed with 1.2% ~ 20% saline solution, the gastric mucosa of rats showed extensive diffuse congestion, edema, erosion, bleeding and necrosis.

③ High-salt food makes gastric mucosa hyperemia and erosion.

High-salt food can also inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandin E, which can improve the resistance of gastric mucosa. This makes the gastric mucosa vulnerable to damage and produces gastritis or ulcers.

④ High-salt food contains a lot of nitrate.

At the same time, high-salt and pickled foods contain a lot of nitrate, which is easy to form ammonium nitrite with strong carcinogenic effect.

Therefore, people should eat lightly, and the daily salt intake should be controlled at 5-6 grams, with a maximum of 8 grams.
