Is taking tonic good for your health? Take medicine, die!
There is a drugstore near Mr. Wu's hometown, which has been open for many years. People from surrounding towns and villages will come here to see a doctor and get medicine. Mr. Wu was thin and sickly from childhood and often went to the hospital until he was seventeen or eighteen. His family is always in a hurry, trying to mend his body in various ways. I heard that there were venison and ginseng in the drugstore, so I bought some and made it into medicine soup for him to drink. I didn't feel anything at that time, but I thought venison was delicious. I ate for three days. Mr. Wu had a sudden nosebleed, abdominal distension and frequent farting, which scared his family not to give him any more food.
Especially for minors and the elderly, you must consult a doctor before eating to see if your body can eat. In particular, ginseng, a tonic, should not be used casually to soak in water and make soup, which may make the body worse.
Some patients always want to make up for it and feel that they are ill, and they can be prevented in advance if they are not sick. It would be better if you could prolong your life, so now many people find their own prescriptions to exercise, thinking that it would be good to eat their own bodies. At present, Chinese medicinal materials should be treated according to syndrome differentiation, and some medicinal materials also have toxic and side effects, that is, western medicine and health care products should not be eaten indiscriminately.
Give you two metaphors to understand. Everyone's body is like a flower. Different kinds of flowers have different conservation methods. Some people like shade, others like sunshine. If you water and fertilize indiscriminately, the flowers may rot and burn seedlings, and they will not live long at all. For example, what should you do if a mouse makes a hole? Only rodenticide? After the death of rats, there will still be thousands of rats in Qian Qian, and they will still get in from their holes. Your home is still unsafe. Taking medicine is equivalent to killing rats and treating diseases, but it can't help you improve your immunity. Keeping healthy is equivalent to mending loopholes, so that you won't be knocked down by new mice in the future.
Why do you say you can keep fit without taking medicine?
When it comes to health care, people will naturally think of health care products and traditional Chinese medicine, and can't wait to go to the pharmacy. But in fact, we still have the method of "natural health preservation", that is, food supplement and dynamic tonic.
First of all, the principle of complementary food is "don't pay too much attention to taste"
Eat more food you like, eat less food you don't like, and eat nothing at all. It's best to choose nothing and try everything. Variety must be rich. You should eat polished rice and fine flour, as well as whole grains and coarse grains. Don't "grab" your appetite too much, you will be in good health naturally. Fresh diet, do not eat moldy, rotten, germinated, overnight, as the case may be. It is best to go to the supermarket every day and buy some fresh and cheap vegetables, such as bean sprouts, thousands of pieces, celery, potatoes, onions and so on. Eat more agricultural and sideline products and less processed food.
People who love meat should reduce the proportion of meat and vegetables, eat less pure meat, add more vegetables, or make soup, put less oil, salt and sugar, and use more onions, ginger and garlic. Just eat lightly. Stop chopsticks at seven o'clock every meal, and others will stop listening to you. Your mouth grows on others, but your health is your own. For the health of the stomach and spleen, it is more beneficial to eat less.
Secondly, the principle of supplement is "long-term persistence, suitable for yourself"
How can you eat so much food without exercise? If you want to digest and absorb food better and solve the troubles of constipation and bloating, you may wish to go out for exercise at night. If you don't want to be too tired, you can go for a walk in the park, pat your arms and back while walking, or rub your ears and palms with your hands to make your blood flow faster.
People's joints will rust if they don't exercise for a long time. Exercise is equivalent to oiling. Keeping a certain movement frequency will make the joints more flexible. Don't give up exercise if your legs and feet are inconvenient. You can sit in bed at home, massage your knees, soles of your feet, head and back for half an hour every day, or do some housework at home and squat against the wall for a while, all of which have health care effects.
Don't leave your brain idle. You can read newspapers, books and do some fine handicrafts. On the one hand, it can exercise the flexibility of finger joints, on the other hand, it can't ignore the brain, especially the middle-aged and elderly people. If it's dementia, no matter how good the food is, it's useless.
There is nothing wrong with taking medicine, provided that you are sick and take medicine purposefully, not for health. People who insist on health care should also be careful not to go into the misunderstanding of health care. Only by keeping in good health scientifically can we recuperate the whole body and repair the damaged parts. Never keep in good health in the wrong way.
