1. What should I pay attention to in diet therapy?
(1) It is nutritious and easy to digest and absorb.
When autumn and winter come, the temperature drops gradually, and people are used to thinking about nourishing. Because people spend a lot of energy and eat less after a hot summer, they should adjust their bodies when the weather turns cold. However, many tonics and supplements, such as ginseng, velvet antler, chicken and mutton, are concentrated and eaten suddenly, which is called "tonic", which is unscientific. It is not only harmful to health, but also wastes financial and material resources and even harms the body.
Therefore, the dietary principle of the six solar terms in autumn and winter is nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. At the same time, when people's resistance is weakest in the season, it is very easy to get sick if they are in poor health. At this time, eating more foods that can enhance human immunity and body resistance is of great benefit to health.
(b) less irritating and more acidic.
The so-called less spicy means eating less spicy food, because the lungs are golden, ventilated in autumn and winter, and the lungs are full in autumn and winter. Eat less pungent taste to prevent lung qi from overflowing. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Jin Kemu, that is, excessive lung qi will damage the function of the liver, so it is necessary to "add acid" in autumn and winter to increase the function of the liver and resist the invasion of excessive lung qi. According to the principle of traditional Chinese medicine nutrition, during the six solar terms in autumn and winter, we must eat less spicy products such as onions, ginger, leeks, garlic and peppers, and eat more sour fruits and vegetables.
In addition, remember that "winter melon is not good." In summer, watermelon is a good summer product, but after autumn and winter, you can't eat more watermelon, cantaloupe and melon, otherwise it will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach. Chinese health experts also advocate eating porridge every morning in the six solar terms of autumn and winter. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Li Ting believed that "eating porridge in the morning is new, benefiting the diaphragm and nourishing the stomach, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, refreshing and replenishing a lot".
(3) Sweet and moist
The diet of six solar terms in autumn and winter should be moist. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables that moisten your lungs and dryness, such as pears, persimmons, oranges and bananas. Fruits and vegetables can eat more carrots, white gourd, tremella, beans and bean products, as well as edible fungi, kelp, seaweed and so on. After scientific processing, they can make delicious food. It can also be made into meals or drinks, such as honey fried tremella, various fresh fruit and vegetable juices, etc. Or processed into soup porridge, such as mushroom bean curd soup, bean porridge, lotus root starch soup, etc. , rich in nutrition, can moisten dryness. Fruits and vegetables are rich in water, vitamins, fiber and so on. It is of great benefit to prevent dry mouth and nose, rough skin and constipation that are most likely to occur during the six solar terms in autumn and winter.
(4) Drink porridge in the morning.
Traditional Chinese medicine health experts advocate eating porridge every morning in the six solar terms of autumn and winter, especially in the early autumn and winter. Many places are still damp and hot, which leads to strong demand in the spleen and stomach and decreased resistance. At this time, if you can eat some warm food, especially drink some medicated porridge, it is very good for your health. The reason is that japonica rice or glutinous rice, as an important part of medicated diet, has excellent functions of strengthening spleen and stomach and benefiting qi, which has been praised by predecessors. Among the six solar terms in autumn and winter, the most popular porridge at present is sugarcane porridge, Polygonatum odoratum porridge, Adenophora adenophora porridge and Polygonatum porridge.
(5) Balanced nutrition
Only the diversification of food can provide comprehensive nutrition for the human body. Such as cereals, mainly supply heat energy and vitamin B1; Beans and bean products are mainly supplied to protein; Vegetables and fruits mainly supply vitamin C, inorganic salts and dietary fiber. In autumn and winter, we should pay more attention to the diversity of food and the balance of nutrition to supplement the nutritional deficiency caused by the hot summer climate and decreased appetite, especially to eat more chewy and fiber-rich foods.
Diet health in autumn and winter should be based on the balance of five flavors, and the intake of sweet, light, sour and wet foods should be appropriately increased according to individual specific conditions, but not too much.
Chew slowly when eating, which is not only conducive to the full digestion of food and the complete absorption of nutrients, but also can maintain the function and chewing of intestinal water through fibrous food, thus promoting fluid production and moistening dryness, and achieving the purpose of preventing and treating adverse reactions such as dry throat, intestinal dryness and constipation in autumn and winter.
(6) Avoid bitterness and dryness.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bitter and dry products are easy to hurt body fluids and consume gas. "If you eat too much, your skin will wrinkle and your hair will be pulled out." The dryness in autumn and winter is just at that time, and the lungs are fine and dirty, which is connected with dryness in autumn and winter and is susceptible to dryness in autumn and winter. Many chronic respiratory diseases often start to recur or worsen in autumn and winter. Therefore, eating and health preservation should be avoided in autumn and winter.
It is not advisable to eat barbecue and fried food in autumn. When processing food, we should try to use stewing to keep the original flavor and nutritional components of food to the maximum extent and supplement balanced nutrition for the body.
