Health tips
First, sea cucumber is a very good tonic, but don't blindly supplement it.
We have reached the early winter, which is the best time for people to supplement their nutrition. Various tonics will also enter people's sight, such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, donkey-hide gelatin, Polygonum multiflorum, Cordyceps sinensis, Tianqi and so on. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, nourishing can usually be divided into four categories: invigorating qi, enriching blood, nourishing yin and strengthening yang. However, if you don't know that your constitution is qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency and yang deficiency, just stewing all kinds of tonics with chickens, ducks and turtles, or taking drugs such as ginseng, velvet antler and donkey-hide gelatin for a long time, it will do harm to the human body. In recent years, according to pharmacological research and clinical findings, many people have gone into a misunderstanding about tonic. Many people suffer from tonic syndrome such as irritability, dry mouth, nosebleeds, abdominal distension, etc. to varying degrees because of blind drug tonic. Therefore, winter tonic should pay attention to "targeted", the more the better. As a safe and effective tonic method, eating sea cucumber has been widely spread in coastal cities such as Dalian and Qingdao. Because of its warm nature, sea cucumber has the effects of tonifying kidney and essence, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, nourishing blood and moistening dryness, regulating menstruation and relieving fatigue, and preventing and benefiting fetus.
Second, the "five taboos" of winter tonic
During winter, many citizens buy tonics with the intention of giving them away or taking them by themselves, which shows that winter tonic has become a more common living custom. But there are also many friends who don't know much about tonic, and the result is counterproductive. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone that winter tonic should pay attention to the following five points: 1. Bogey: tonic without illness not only increases expenses, but also is harmful to health. If you consume too much cod liver oil, it will cause poisoning, and long-term use of glucose will cause obesity; Two bogeys: advocating tonic, thinking that the higher the price, the more beneficial it is to the body. For example, ginseng is expensive and is a holy medicine, but excessive consumption can lead to excitement, irritability, high blood pressure and even nosebleeds; Three bogeys: no distinction between reality and reality. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is "deficiency should be supplemented", deficiency should be supplemented, and deficiency should not be treated with medicine; Four bogeys: the more the better, the more toxic the medicine, and any excessive tonic is harmful; Five bogeys: it is unscientific to take medicine as food, and medicine is not as good as food. Therefore, many friends have realized the disadvantages of medicine tonic, and they have chosen food tonic instead of medicine tonic.
Third, who is suitable for winter tonic autumn and winter tonic is of great significance for strengthening the body and prolonging life, but it should be noted that not everyone is suitable for tonic, and blind tonic is not desirable.
First of all, people with weak yang need tonic. People with yang deficiency often have a runny nose, cold hands and feet, and frequent nocturia in winter. Proper tonic can regenerate yang, dispel cold and strengthen the body.
Secondly, patients with winter sickness need tonic. Some chronic diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, polyuria and chilblain, are easy to attack in cold winter. Most of these patients suffer from deficiency of kidney-qi, yang deficiency and external cold, and the best prevention and treatment method is warming.
Third, those who treat summer diseases in winter should make up for it. Some people with weak constitution are prone to asthma, sores and other diseases in spring and summer. If we can take good care of our bodies in winter, we can nip in the bud, enhance our immune function and reduce the recurrence of chronic diseases.
Finally, the old and infirm need tonic. In winter, people's appetite is much larger than usual, and the body absorbs nutrients more easily than usual, which is a good opportunity to enhance physical fitness and prolong life.
