1, the misunderstanding of autumn tonic
Misunderstanding 1: If it is light, it can't be corrected.
Tonic food is not necessarily the same as meat, especially for some people with weak gastrointestinal function. Eating too much meat will increase the burden, and it is easy to induce common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases of the elderly such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. A light diet is not a supplement. According to modern nutrition, vitamins and trace elements contained in fresh fruits and vegetables are essential nutrients for human body.
Myth 2: tonic without illness
If you are healthy, there is no need to take health care drugs unilaterally, which will increase your expenses and harm your health. If you take too much cod liver oil, it will lead to poisoning. Eating glucose for a long time will make you fat, and the increase of cholesterol in the blood will easily induce cardiovascular diseases.
Myth 3: Eat medicine as a meal.
It is unscientific to value medicine over food. Many foods also have therapeutic effects. For example, eating more celery can treat hypertension, eating more radish can strengthen the stomach, promote digestion, relieve phlegm and cough, and eating more yam can replenish the spleen and stomach. Walnuts, peanuts, red dates, lentils and lotus roots are also good tonics.
Myth 4: Blind pursuit of expensive ingredients
Many people think that you should buy some expensive supplements. Traditional supplements, such as bird's nest and shark's fin, are expensive, but they are not too strange and worth mentioning. On the contrary, ordinary foods, such as sweet potatoes, corn, honey, etc., all have good therapeutic value, and expensive ingredients should not be pursued unilaterally.
Myth 5: The more tonics, the better.
It is an unscientific idea to "take more tonics, treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases". Tonifying needs to be carried out on demand, and eating too much tonic is harmful. For example, taking too much ginseng supplements may cause bloating.
2, the principle of autumn health.
1, to prevent excess calories, in the autumn diet, we should pay attention to the right amount, but we should not indulge our appetite and eat and drink. Chinese medicine says "hemp should be eaten to moisten dryness". First of all, we should eat less stimulating and spicy food, and eat more fruits and vegetables to avoid the accumulation of all kinds of damp heat.
2. From summer to autumn, the temperature changes. If the diet is too cold, it is easy to cause indigestion and produce various digestive tract diseases. So there is the proposition that "autumn should be warm", that is to say, in autumn, we should avoid eating raw and cold food and eat more warm food.
3, autumn diet should nourish yin and moisten the lungs, autumn dryness is easy to hurt the lungs. You can eat some soft foods such as sesame, honey, lily and almond. It can benefit the stomach and promote fluid production, which is beneficial to health. At the same time, you can eat more sour fruits and vegetables, and put them away when they are sour.
4, pay attention to food hygiene, autumn is the high season of diarrhea, children should pay attention to food hygiene. Children should eat less cold food, avoid overnight meals and unclean food, and fully steam semi-finished and cooked food before eating.
