How can I eat healthily?
Zhang Yan pointed out that "moderate diet" is the basic principle of diet health proposed in Huangdi Neijing, that is, the five diets should be moderate and principled.
First of all, I want five flavors. The so-called "smell it and replenish it" means that the food should be reasonably matched. Among them, hemp, wheat, millet, rice, beans and grains are the main nutritional sources, which are rich in carbohydrates. Plum, apricot, jujube, peach, chestnut and five fruits are supplemented with vitamins and trace elements; Dogs, sheep, cows, chickens and pigs are used as tonics to provide heat; Leek, sunflower, onion, onion and epimedium are used as stuffing, and cellulose and trace elements are supplemented. In addition, the collocation of food varies from place to place and from person to person.
Secondly, food is not partial to food. "yin has five flavors; Five flavors of yin and five houses are injured. " ("Su Wen Angers at Heaven") In other words, the five flavors are too strong, which is easy to hurt the five internal organs. Among them, if you are too sour, your temper is absolute; If it is too salty, the heart will be depressed; Too sweet, uneven kidneys; Too bitter, the temper will be wet and stagnant; Excessive excitement leads to the decline of tendons. Zhangyan pointed out that many daily diseases come from living habits, especially eating habits, which is one of the causes of many family diseases.
Besides, don't eat too much. "Double your diet and hurt your stomach." Stomach injury can lead to anorexia, epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, acid swallowing and so on. Intestinal injury is prone to abdominal distension, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Besides, the food is suitable. First of all, the season is right. Su Wenliu's Jacky Ji Da Lun pointed out: "The same method applies to cold and far cold, cold and far cold, warm and far warm, and hot and far hot." For example, mung beans are cold and should not be eaten in winter; Litchi, mutton and cherries should not be eaten in summer. Secondly, cold and heat are suitable. "If the diet is not hot, the cold is not surging, and the cold temperature is moderate, it will be full of qi but not evil." (Teacher Ling Shu biography) Among them, the choice of food temperature should be between 40℃ and 60℃.
Finally, eating is not wrong. Five flavors also have taboos, such as spicy, so it is not appropriate to eat more spicy for gas diseases; Blood is salty, and blood diseases should not eat more salty; Bitter bones, bone diseases should not suffer more; If you are willing to eat meat, don't eat more sweet things. When tendons are weakened by acid, it is not advisable to eat more acid when tendons are sick (Su Wenxuan Wu Mingqi). Besides, you don't want to mix food. Sun Simiao's "Food does not want to be mixed, mixed or guilty; Those who have committed crimes, or have been injured, or although there was no disaster at that time, they have been suffering for a long time. "It is said that eating at sixes and sevens will eventually cause patients. "After the summer solstice until the autumnal equinox, we must be careful about fat, cakes and ghee, which is extremely harmful to wine pulp and fruit. Because the husband is sick, it is too cold in spring and summer and the diet is not reasonable. " It is also said that random omnivores will lead to more diseases regardless of seasons. "
Therefore, if you want to eat healthily, you must eat and drink in moderation. Zhang Yan said that Chinese medicine pays attention to conditioning and prevention, which is the way of health preservation. People should correctly understand Huangdi Neijing and know more about it, so that they can provide themselves or people around them with some correct suggestions on daily diet and health, and know more about medical knowledge can also provide some help for daily medical treatment.
