Ancient Chinese medicine advocated dieting theory, eating less and eating more meals.
Sun Simiao, a famous TCM doctor in Tang Dynasty, attached great importance to the health care function of diet. Sun Simiao once discussed this point in Qian Jin Yao Fang. He said: "the basis of life is food ... those who don't know what to eat are not healthy enough."

From the works left by Sun Simiao to later generations, it is not difficult to see the secret of this centenarian's longevity: "You eat a small amount, and it is difficult to get rid of it if you don't want to eat more. I often want to be hungry, and I am hungry. " In addition to advocating that hunger and satiety should be moderate, Sun Simiao also believes that eating regularly and quantitatively, not sleeping when hungry, not overeating, not eating reluctantly, and having three meals properly are all beneficial to the body and mind.

In addition, Sun Simiao also attaches great importance to the role of dietotherapy in disease prevention. He pointed out: "if a husband is a doctor, he must first understand the source of his illness, know what he has committed, treat him with food, and then take medicine." His thoughts of "gargling after meals", "avoiding bathing" and attaching importance to "dietary taboos" still have reference significance.

China's medicine has a history of thousands of years, which is an extremely rich summary of China people's long-term struggle against diseases and an important part of China culture. Respect, trust and use of Chinese medicine will bring health benefits to more people.
