Five, diet should avoid the disease of cold and heat, yin and yang are different, and food is biased. Illness is appropriate, illness is harmful, and it is appropriate to make up, which is harmful to illness. In addition, the medicine taken after illness is different. Sexual taste. Therefore, it is very important to emphasize diet taboos in nursing diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to taboos in diet care, and considers taboos to be an important link in health preservation and disease prevention. Especially in the process of disease treatment, we should know both its suitability and its taboo. According to the patient's condition, physique, medication, season, climate, eating habits and other factors to choose a reasonable diet. Only by grasping the two aspects of diet suitability and taboo can we coordinate diet and treatment and achieve good treatment and rehabilitation purposes. (a), the basic principle of diet should avoid 1, dialectical diet, that is, the taste of food should adapt to the needs of the disease. Food can be divided into cold, hot, warm and diarrhea, and illness can also be divided into deficiency and excess, cold and heat. Obviously, deficiency syndrome should benefit, excess syndrome should be sparse and cold syndrome should be warm. Heat syndrome should be cold and cool. 2. Drugs taken by patients with drug differentiation have their own taste and efficacy. In order to give full play to the efficacy, the taste of the patient's diet should generally be consistent with the taste of the medicine taken, and it should not be contrary to the performance of the medicine taken, so as not to reduce the efficacy. For example, if the food is the same as the medicine they take, it can even enhance the curative effect of the medicine and accelerate the recovery of the disease. 3. Because people who eat food have different advantages and disadvantages and different ages, their diets should be different. For example, fat people are full of phlegm, so they should eat light and phlegm-resolving things and avoid fatty and greasy products to avoid helping phlegm; Thin people have more yin deficiency, so they should eat more products that nourish yin and promote fluid production, nourish blood and replenish blood, and avoid spicy and hot products to avoid hurting yin; The elderly have weak spleen and stomach, and their diet should be light, so as not to eat greasy and sticky things, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach; Women should avoid spicy and warm food during pregnancy and lactation, so as not to help the yang ignite and affect the fetus or suckling child. Children should pay special attention to diet conditioning. 4. Seasonal changes in food intake have different effects on human physiological functions. Therefore, dietary taboos are also different. In spring, the climate changes from cold to warm, and the yang increases, so the food should be warm and dull, while in summer, the yang is strong and the weather is hot, so the food should be sweet and cold. However, cold and unclean food should be avoided. In autumn, the sun closes for a long time, and the dry and pungent food should be moistened and restrained. Avoid spicy and warm food. In winter, the yang is deep and strong. It is best to warm up and avoid catching cold. 5.
