Many patients are puzzled and ask: Is it bad to eat fruit? I don't know what to say about eating fruit for beauty. At this time, doctors often answer: fruits are mostly cold, and common fruits such as tomatoes (slightly cold), apples (slightly cold), mangosteen, watermelons, cantaloupes, Sydney, persimmons, kiwis, bananas, melons, grapefruit, oranges, persimmons, coconuts and mulberries are also cold fruits.
Eating for a long time and in large quantities will damage spleen yang. The patient will say again: Can you eat it if it is heated? The doctor answered patiently: heating can't change the coolness of fruit. Unless you put some ginger, black pepper and the like and heat it with the fruit. Patient: What's that smell? . . . .
In addition, warm fruit is easy to get angry when eaten. Modern people are impetuous and angry, which is common in the constitution of upper heat and lower cold. Eating cold food is more harmful to the yang of spleen and kidney, while eating warm fruits or spicy products can easily aggravate internal heat, lead to oral ulcers, and even affect sleep for people who are always angry.
Mango tastes sweet, but the fruit itself is wet and poisonous, and its constitution is wet or hot and humid. Eating too much may aggravate it, such as eczema. Peach is warm, so it is not suitable to eat more, and it is easy to get angry after eating. Cherry is warm, but eating too much may affect sleep … and so on.
What can I eat? The key is moderation: eat less, everything tastes terrible. This can be learned from foreign countries. Chop or slice the fruit and eat a few. It is natural to eat fruit as a meal.
Why should some patients be advised to eat less fruit and quit?
The starting point of eating less fruit and quitting fruit is to hope that the eating habit of "eating fruit as a meal" will return to the diet of "keeping whole grains".
First of all, since the 1990s, most westerners have publicized that eating fruits is good for health. Their ancestors grew up eating flour and meat. Their diet is mainly composed of all kinds of meat and dairy products. They like drinking and coffee, but there are few vegetables. Therefore, health public opinion calls for eating more fruits and vegetables, reducing obesity and making the body healthier.
China's ancestors grew up mainly eating cereals and vegetarianism. Who among the parents of modern China people heard that they grew up eating meat? At that time, a little meat in the dish was extravagant. Compared with westerners, most people in China are thin, which is not suitable for eating a lot of meat, nor for eating fruit as a meal. Especially modern women, in order to be slim and beautiful, eat fruits hard, which leads to yellow, dull and freckled skin. For an everyday example, women in China have been "confinement" since the birth of their children, and this is also the case now. However, there is no such thing as "confinement" for western women, and they can work after giving birth. However, many women in China who live abroad feel the deepest, and they grow old faster without confinement! Not only the face is aging, but also the body function is getting worse and worse. Only China people know this best. Many people don't have a good rest in the second month! Then, avoid eating cold food, wear clothes to keep warm and have a proper rest. . . And so on are in line with China people's physiology and body, can not be ignored.
Huangdi Neijing said: "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five livestock are for benefit, and five vegetables are for supplement." These four sentences are the key to a healthy diet. "Five grains" means: millet (millet), wheat (flour), rice (rice), millet (sticky yellow rice) and glutinous rice (beans), all of which are "seeds".
What is a seed? Seeds are unique propagators of plants, and they all have the ability of germination and reproduction. It is this growing grain that human beings depend on for survival and reproduction. Whole grains are the necessary basis for human body to cultivate "the foundation of the day after tomorrow", and five fruits, five animals and five vegetables are the products of regulation. But now life is rich and material. And people always get worse after they can't get it. Before the 1980 s, there was a shortage of materials, no meat, no milk and few fruit snacks. Now that the conditions are good, everyone hopes to eat twice as much as before. As a result, the disease has never been "starved to death", but "eaten" ... China people have been competing with "eating".
If you want to live longer, you should "take it easy" on the issue of eating.
There are many different opinions about grain, and the most important ones are two: one refers to rice, millet, millet, wheat and glutinous rice; The other refers to hemp, millet, millet, wheat and glutinous rice. The following introduction to the five grains is for your reference:
Millet is sweet, salty and slightly cold, and enters the kidney, spleen and stomach meridians. Eating millet is beneficial to regulating the spleen and stomach, nourishing blood and nourishing yin, and has the effect of sleeping peacefully and preventing aging. Because millet is a hot thing, it is best to eat millet porridge in the morning.
Wheat (flour) is planted in autumn, grows in winter, shows in spring (heading) and is harvested in summer. If the seasons are neutral, the nutritional value will be higher. This kind of heat on the surface is fire in the five attributes of Huangdi Neijing, so it is the price of five grains. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fire corresponds to the heart, so the face is considered to be the most nourishing heart. In summer, we often sweat. Sweat is the heart fluid. Too much sweating hurts the heart, so at this time, we should eat some noodles to replenish the heart.
Rice (rice) is cool, cool and slippery, and it is better to eat it at night. Chinese medicine does not advocate letting the elderly eat new rice and noodles. Because the new rice and new noodles grow too fast, it is easy to cause old diseases that were originally hidden in the body. The old man is weak, so it is better to eat old rice and old noodles. Especially the old noodles, eat more old noodles and cook more soup, you can resist sweating.
Millet (sticky yellow rice) has enough calories, but it is also difficult to digest. If you need to walk a long way to climb mountains, eat more sticky rice cakes, so you won't be hungry easily.
Millet (bean) looks like a kidney. The ancients thought it could replenish essence. It is a collection and can be eaten more. Among beans, black beans are the most nutritious.
