Chinese medicine pays attention to "five colors entering the five internal organs", which means that eating five-color food often can nourish our five internal organs. The five colors are green, red, yellow, white and black.
1, green enters the liver. The liver is our detoxification organ. The liver likes blue food, so eating green plants often can soothe and strengthen the liver, regulate our spleen and stomach, and promote digestion and absorption.
Dandelion is a good plant for nourishing liver, which can remove liver toxins and enhance liver regeneration. Therefore, people who want to protect their liver can usually drink more dandelion water.
2, red into the heart. In other words, the heart likes red food. From the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, red is fire, which can replenish blood and qi. For example, eating tomatoes regularly can effectively prevent the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis. In addition, people with coronary heart disease can often eat tomato juice, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
3, white into the lungs. Early autumn is a good season to nourish the lungs. You can eat more white food, such as Sydney, which has the effect of relieving cough and moistening the lungs, and can also relieve constipation caused by excessive internal heat.
Yam is also a good lung nourishing product. It is rich in protein and carbohydrates, which can relieve the symptoms of dry mouth and cleft lip.
4, yellow into the spleen. In order to protect the spleen and stomach, we should eat more yellow food. Many people with poor spleen and stomach tend to accumulate food, so we can eat more pineapples to relieve it and help us digest it. In addition, you can also eat more millet porridge, which can regulate symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain caused by spleen and stomach weakness.
5, black into the kidney. In order to tonify the kidney, you should eat more black food. Black food can eat more black beans, black rice and black sesame seeds.
