Diabetes belongs to the category of diabetes in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is one of the main diseases that endanger human health. In recent years, its incidence has increased significantly. Professor Hu Weiqin said that the theory of TCM health preservation should be used to guide the diet, daily life and four-season emotions of diabetic patients, so as to coordinate their yin and yang, so as to achieve the purpose of collaborative treatment and better control their illness. Diet control is the foundation. In addition to medication, diet control is an important part of diabetes treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine health theory holds that the distribution of diet should be reasonable and not partial eclipse. For example, in Su Wen's On the Method of Storing Qi, it is said: "Five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, five dishes are the filling, and the smells are consistent to supplement the essence." It shows grains, meat, vegetables, fruits and so on. It can be supplemented with appropriate and reasonable seasoning, which is beneficial to human health. At the same time, different foods have different tastes, different meridians, different nutrients and different functions. For example, "acid enters the liver, bitter enters the heart, pungent enters the lung, liver enters the spleen, and salty enters the kidney". A reasonable diet and a balanced mix can be beneficial to health. Gan: Gan enters the spleen. Eating sweets can replenish qi and blood, replenish calories, relieve fatigue and detoxify the stomach. But patients with diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases should eat less. Acid: Acid enters the liver. Sour food can enhance digestive function and protect the liver. Eating regularly can not only help digestion and kill gastrointestinal bacteria, but also prevent colds, lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels. Tomatoes, hawthorn and oranges, which are mainly sour, are rich in vitamin C, which can prevent cancer, aging and arteriosclerosis. Bitter taste: Bitter taste enters the heart, and bitter taste has the function of dehumidification and diuresis. Such as bitter gourd, often eaten can cure edema. Xin: Xin enters the lungs. Xin has the effect of sweating and regulating qi. People often eat onions, garlic, ginger, peppers and peppers, all of which are mainly spicy foods. Capsaicin contained in these foods can not only protect blood vessels, but also regulate qi and blood and dredge meridians. Regular consumption can prevent colds and colds. However, people suffering from hemorrhoids, constipation and neurasthenia should not eat it. Salty: As the crown of five flavors, I can never get tired of eating. When salt enters the kidney, it can regulate the penetration of human cells and blood and maintain normal metabolism. After vomiting, diarrhea and sweating, you should drink a proper amount of light salt water to maintain normal metabolism. Some people think that the lighter the diet, the better, even vegetarian. In vegetarian diet, except beans, which are rich in protein, the content of protein in other foods is very low, and the nutritional value is low. In fact, the main factor of human health is not eating meat or being vegetarian, but what to eat and how much to eat. Chicken, duck, fish and other foods are mostly rich in high-quality protein, as well as essential vitamins and trace elements. They are important substances that constitute the human body and cannot be lacking. It is difficult to replace it with plant protein. Because the content of protein in plants is low, and the quality (that is, the types and quantities of essential amino acids for human body) is not as good as that of animal protein, it is beneficial to eat more animal protein to some extent. For example, yam porridge has the functions of nourishing heart yin and stopping polydipsia, and is used for diabetic patients with heart yin deficiency. Wheat is a high fiber food, which can obviously lower blood sugar. Rehmannia glutinosa and Alisma orientalis decoction have the functions of nourishing yin, consolidating kidney, strengthening spleen and absorbing essence, and are suitable for diabetic patients with deficiency of both spleen and kidney. Spinach root chicken porridge can benefit the five internal organs, quench thirst, moisten intestines and lower blood sugar. Carrot japonica rice porridge can strengthen the spleen and stomach, reduce qi and relieve depression, improve eyesight and lower blood pressure, and induce diuresis and reduce blood sugar. Some fruits and vegetables also help to lower blood sugar. Momordica charantia, pumpkin, wax gourd, radish, carrot, mushroom, celery, spinach, cabbage, onion and pea have certain adjuvant therapeutic effects on diabetes and hypertension. Can diabetics eat fruit? Fruit contains a lot of vitamins, cellulose and minerals, which is beneficial to diabetics. The sugars contained in fruits are glucose, fructose and sucrose, among which fructose does not need insulin to participate in metabolism, so diabetics do not reject fruits after their blood sugar is controlled. You should also pay attention to the way you eat fruit. Don't eat immediately after meals, but eat between meals to avoid high blood sugar after meals. The basic principle of dietary taboo has become an important part of TCM health preservation theory. "A thousand dollars prescription for emergency diet for the elderly" said: "The foundation of survival must be food. People who don't know what to eat can't eat enough for a lifetime. " A balanced diet is particularly important for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Exercise in moderation. The ancients have long recognized that proper exercise is one of the effective measures to prevent and treat diabetes. Diabetic patients should exercise under the guidance of a doctor to avoid fatigue. They can choose walking, aerobics, Tai Ji Chuan, swimming and ballroom dancing according to their illness. Tai Ji Chuan, in particular, has the characteristics of relaxation, naturalness, stretching and softness, and is most suitable for diabetic patients. As we all know, moderate exercise can prevent and treat diabetes, but excessive and insufficient exercise is harmful to human body, which has long been expounded by ancient physicians. Su Wen on Ancient Naivety: "If you don't work hard outside, you won't worry about it inside. Take pleasure as a service and pride as a career, and you can be a hundred years old. " Hua Tuo said in the "Han Zang Jing": "The human body wants to work hard, and it cannot be extremely ear-catching. Shake the valley, the blood circulates, and the disease is not born. " Modern research shows that exercise can reduce glucose tolerance, increase insulin sensitivity and reduce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. This coincides with the understanding of Chinese medicine. Neijing of Internal Medicine: "Man and heaven and earth are born with qi, and the four seasons can be achieved." It is emphasized that human beings are closely related to the four seasons climate change in nature and are a dynamic whole. Therefore, if people want to maintain normal physiological functions, they must adapt to the periodic changes of the four seasons in nature. If we conform to the changing laws of spring, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage in nature, we can "nourish yang in spring and summer and nourish yin in autumn and winter", thus improving the adaptability of human body to the external climate, otherwise it will change or cause various diseases. Therefore, Su Wen's Four Qi Spirits pointed out: "Therefore, those who have four seasons of Yin and Yang are often the foundation of life and death, and those who go against it are suffering. From this, they cannot be harsh. This is the Tao." It is emphasized that conforming to the four seasons of yin and yang is the foundation of human health and longevity. The occurrence of diabetes is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang and fire and water in the body. Therefore, it is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of diabetes to conform to the changing law of yin and yang in four seasons and adjust the yin and yang of human body in time to make it tend to be balanced. In short, under the guidance of TCM health theory, diabetic patients should be comfortable in cold and summer, live in harmony with each other, live in harmony with yin and yang, eat moderately, live regularly, do not act rashly, and be in harmony with god, which is conducive to the control of the disease.
