Interpretation refers to the method of practicing body and mind in order to preserve health and prolong life. While keeping in good health in winter resists the cold in winter, we should also pay attention to the fact that warm foods that dispel cold and help yang often contain high calories and are easy to accumulate heat in the body after eating. Eating often will lead to lung fire, which is manifested as dry mouth. How can I suppress dryness? Chinese medicine believes that it is best to choose some foods that are "sweet and cold in nature", that is, foods that are cooler in nature. There are more "sweet and cold" foods to choose from in winter. For example, licorice, poria cocos and other cool medicinal materials can be added to hot food for tonic, so as to reduce calories and avoid being too hot after tonic. In the usual diet, you can also choose cold foods, such as soft-shelled turtle, soft-shelled turtle, rabbit meat, duck meat, goose meat, chicken, eggs, kelp, sea cucumber, honey, sesame, tremella, lotus seeds, lilies, white radish, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach, winter bamboo shoots, bananas, pears, apples and so on. Many people like beef stew in winter, so it is better to add some radishes. There is a folk saying that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe. This is because radish is sweet and flat, and has the effects of reducing qi, resolving food stagnation and resolving phlegm. It can be balanced with the "warm dryness" of beef, which can not only replenish qi, but also promote digestion. Although cool food has the functions of calming, cooling and diminishing inflammation, it is not suitable for all people. According to Professor Gan Aiping of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, people who usually have symptoms of yin deficiency such as dryness and heat, hand and foot fever and night sweats. You can choose "sweet and cold" food appropriately. For example, duck meat is cool, which can tonify deficiency, clear heat, harmonize viscera, and benefit waterways. It is more suitable for cardiovascular patients with weak body and low fever, dry stool and edema. Generally speaking, people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold should not eat cold food and cold tonic. Instead, you can eat some hot pot that ordinary people should not overeat, such as dog meat and mutton hot pot. However, we should also be careful not to make up too much. Excessive intake of calories is concentrated in the body, which is easy to get angry, leading to the leakage of yang, which will destroy the nutritional balance of the human body. [Edit this paragraph] Summer health care: mental conditioning: In summer, the scorching sun is scorching, the heat is pressing, sweat is released, sweat is the liquid of the heart, and the heart is the most vulnerable. Summer should be calm, cheerful and broad-minded, so that the soul can be nourished. Take part in more recreational activities or go out for a summer vacation, so that people can exercise while being relaxed and happy. Daily conditioning: due to the extremely high temperature in summer and short sleep time at night, you should take a nap properly to maintain abundant energy. Diet and health: people's digestive function is weak in summer, so the diet should be light and refreshing, less greasy and easy to digest. In hot summer, if you sweat a lot, you should replenish water, salt and vitamins in time, eat more watermelon and mung bean soup, but don't eat cold drinks, because cold food can cause gastrointestinal diseases. Exercise aftercare: It's hot in summer. When exercising, it is best to go to parks, rivers and lakes in the cool morning or evening, and choose appropriate exercises, such as Tai Ji Chuan, radio exercises, jogging, walking, etc., to avoid heatstroke caused by long-term exercise in the sun. Prevention and health care: it is geothermal in summer. If the healthy qi of human body is insufficient, the evil of damp-heat often takes advantage of it and easily causes summer sickness. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange work and life scientifically in summer, so as to combine work and rest. Pay attention to indoor cooling and try to ventilate and cool the living environment. [Edit this paragraph] There are five flavors of healthy food. People's tastes vary widely, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. Chinese medicine believes that for health, all kinds of food should be eaten in a balanced way. Sweetness: Chinese medicine believes that sweetness enters the spleen. Eating sweets can replenish qi and blood, replenish calories, relieve fatigue and detoxify the stomach. But patients with diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases should eat less. Sour: Chinese medicine says "sour liver". Sour food can enhance digestive function and protect the liver. Eating regularly can not only help digestion and kill bacteria in gastrointestinal tract, but also prevent colds, lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels. Tomatoes, hawthorn and oranges, which are mainly sour, are rich in vitamin C, which can prevent cancer, anti-aging and prevent arteriosclerosis. Bitterness: As the old saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter. Chinese medicine believes that "bitterness is born in the heart" and "bitterness enters the heart". Bitter taste has the function of dehumidification and diuresis. Such as bitter gourd, often eaten can cure edema. Spicy: Chinese medicine believes that spicy enters the lungs. It has the effect of 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. Salty: As the crown of five flavors, I can never get tired of eating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "salty entering the kidney" has the function of regulating the penetration 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.
