Scientific health preservation needs to pay attention to the philosophy of diet, so that "the diet should be warm and inedible at times"
One refers to the temperature of food. Eating too much cold food is easy to hurt the spleen, stomach and lung, ranging from coughing to diarrhea. Especially people who are weak and have a bad stomach should eat less cold food. Too hot food and water are not suitable for eating, because it will destroy oral mucosa and gastric mucosa. The pursuit of temperature should be "hot without burning lips, cold without freezing teeth", just right.

The second refers to the smell of food. Food, like medicine, has different smells. Food is also divided into cold food and warm food. Huangdi Neijing said: "Use cold to keep cold, use cool to keep cold, use warm to keep warm, and use hot to keep hot. Eat the same. " In other words, cold medicine should be used to avoid cold season, warm medicine should be used to avoid warm season, and so should diet.

In our daily life, we often eat some cold products in summer, such as bitter gourd, towel gourd, cucumber and watermelon. Clearing away heat and fire. In winter, everyone likes to rinse mutton around steaming hot pot. Mutton is a warm food, and the dietotherapy prescription "Danggui Ginger Mutton Soup" is very popular and has been circulated for thousands of years.

Now people still eat ice cream and watermelon in winter, which is out of date from the perspective of health care. In addition to paying attention to eating different cold and hot foods according to the seasons, we should also combine the human body itself. For example, people with cold constitution should not eat food with excessive cold, and vice versa.

In addition, moderate heat and cold has another meaning, that is, don't eat high-calorie food, but eat low-calorie food. Modern scientific research shows that properly reducing calorie intake can improve the quality of life and prolong life. Usually you can eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and natural foods; You can choose fish and chicken with lower calories when eating meat.
