2. The characteristics of TCM health care
First, because of the acquired foundation, eat early and make up early: Chinese medicine has always believed that the spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation of the human body, so promoting health care, especially food health care, should start from youth and middle age at the latest, and maintaining the spleen and stomach through diet conditioning is actually a great way to preserve health and prolong life. If the taste is sweet and light, it is enough to nourish the five internal organs. Therefore, people are advised to eat as little cold, hot, slippery and greasy diet as possible to avoid damaging the spleen and stomach. If we can take care of middle qi for a long time (that is, the function of spleen and stomach to promote hair growth) and eat properly, we can get rid of diseases and prolong life.
Second, the key to food and nutrition lies in diet: the key point of diet control lies in the words "simple, less, frugal, cautious and taboo". The type of diet should be appropriate and reasonable, and the amount of food should not be too full. It is not advisable to eat all kinds of meat at every meal. Pay great attention to good eating habits and hygiene. Eat hungry first, but don't be too full, and stop before you are full; Drink first when you are thirsty, not too much, and be careful not to drink at night. In addition, excessive partial eclipse and omnivore are not suitable.
Third, diet therapy first, then drug bait: diet therapy is conducive to long-term use in treating diseases. Especially for the elderly, due to the weakness of five internal organs, qi and blood failure, and the decline of spleen and stomach transport and transformation function, it is easier to achieve the effect that drugs can not achieve first. Because most elderly people suffer from chronic diseases or physical weakness to varying degrees, it is difficult to persist in taking medicine for a long time, some are not used to it, and some are prone to adverse reactions, so it is more appropriate to take diet first and then take more medicine when necessary.
Fourth, pay more attention to the principle of eating early and eating late, and eating at night is more harmful. Eat slowly and avoid gorging; It is advisable to choose food, control diet, be greedy, greasy, fishy, sticky and difficult to disappear, fragrant and dry, and those with rich and mellow diet should eat less; Light food is the most pleasant, and light, sweet and light food is better; The food should be warm, but not too hot, so it is best to burn your lips with hot water instead of ice. Hard or tough, half-cooked meat is difficult to digest, food should be cooked and soft, and the elderly are straighter.
