My father is over 60 years old this year, but in my impression, he has been in poor health since he was over 40 years old, as shown below.

Father's height is 165, but his weight has always been only about 100 kg. The whole person looks thin.

He usually eats the same as his mother, but her mother is slightly fat and has always been in good health.

Why is this happening? Or because of my father's stomach.

He can't eat too much because of his bad stomach. Even if the food is delicious, he only dares to eat a little, otherwise he will have abdominal distension or stomach pain.

As we all know, the spleen and stomach are a system, and the spleen and stomach are not good. Even if you eat well, it is difficult to digest and absorb, and natural nutrition is insufficient. Eat well but always be thin, mostly for this reason.

People with bad stomachs are actually suffering, at least their appetite is hard to satisfy.

Like my father, don't say anything cold, even most fruits can't be eaten.

In summer, everyone eats watermelon with ice, but my father has to put it in the sun for a while before eating, and only dares to eat a small piece.

Once you eat too much, including pears and other cool fruits, you will have a stomachache and diarrhea.

My father is not too old. Even in his fifties, he is mentally ill.

Just doing some work, my father feels very tired and needs to rest on the sofa for half a day and go out for a walk at night. He can't walk far.

I went to the hospital for examination, but I couldn't find anything wrong. I didn't know until I studied Chinese medicine that fatigue and weakness were also caused by the spleen and stomach.

Spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach are not good, qi and blood will be insufficient. The main manifestations of qi and blood deficiency are poor complexion and mental fatigue.

This is what my mother said. Dad goes to the toilet every day and doesn't come out for half an hour

Usually only my parents live together, but it will be crowded when we go home during the Chinese New Year holiday. So dad will go to the public toilet outside.

Constipation caused by poor spleen and stomach is mainly due to the fact that after spleen deficiency, water and dampness in the body cannot be transported well, resulting in heavy moisture in the body. Chinese medicine has a special term called "spleen deficiency and dampness excess", which means this.

Coupled with indigestion, such people are prone to loose stool, sticky, and there is always a feeling of endless discharge when going to the toilet.

This dietotherapy recipe, Bazhen cake, is a very famous recipe for invigorating spleen and nourishing stomach in traditional Chinese medicine.

When I was a child, I traveled to Xitang, Zhejiang, and found that Bazhen cakes were sold everywhere in the street. At that time, I thought it was just a local specialty.

When I was studying Chinese medicine, I discovered that this is the famous prescription in Authentic Surgery by Chen Shigong, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty. It was originally for children. Later, in the Qing Dynasty, it was presented to Qianlong and Cixi by the physician. The two bosses liked it as soon as they ate it, and gradually became a very famous "eight-treasure cake in Qing Dynasty".

CCTV health column "The Road to Health" 20 15 1 14. The guest invited by the program is Yu Zhenxuan, chief physician of Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He said in the program: "I have a neighbor. His children are thin and sweaty, and they don't like eating very much. Their digestion is very bad and their stools are not good. Very young children, what should I do? I thought of a way to grind yam into powder, very fine powder, sieve it with a basket, add it to milk powder, and give him a spoonful at a time. After eating for half a year, the child became fat in vain, his spleen and stomach improved and he loved to eat. No matter how rich you are, there is an eight immortals cake in the Qing palace, which is now renamed as "eight treasures cake" to tonify the kidney, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. It is very good for people who are weak and need tonic. Neither cold nor hot, neither cold nor dry. "

The original recipe of Bazhen cake consists of lotus seeds, Gordon Euryale seeds, lentils, Poria, Coicis Semen, Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Chinese yam, hawthorn and malt. Divide each sample equally, grind it into fine powder, add water to rice flour, and steam it into cakes.

Poria cocos is one of the main components of Sijunzi decoction, which can strengthen the spleen and tonify the middle energizer, calm the heart and soothe the nerves, and promote diuresis and eliminate dampness.

Euryale ferox can strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea, nourish the heart and kidney, tonify the middle energizer, strengthen the body, regulate the stomach and qi, and stimulate appetite.

Coix seed can strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, tonify the middle energizer and dispel dampness.

Yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach, benefit the lungs and kidneys, and make up for fatigue.

Lentils can regulate qi, tonify kidney and strengthen stomach.

Lotus seeds can strengthen the spleen, nourish the heart, invigorate qi, strengthen the will, strengthen the bones and muscles, replenish deficiency and stomach.

Hawthorn and malt can help digestion, neutralize and eliminate accumulation and bloating.

In this way, this recipe is very comprehensive, mainly nourishing the spleen and stomach, taking into account the removal of moisture in the body.

It is also recommended in Lecture Room.

Tonifying the spleen and stomach is the key to conditioning the body. Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Only when the spleen and stomach are good can we provide energy for various organs of the body.

My father started eating this kind of cake last year. After eating for about half a month, the minor problems such as abdominal distension were obviously improved. After eating for a month, the whole person's spirit is much better and his complexion is obviously rosy.

When the body recovers almost, my father also eats a little from time to time to strengthen the spleen and stomach.

Except for the old man like my father, white-collar workers or bosses who rely on mental work are too tired to think about hurting their spleen; On the other hand, these groups often eat irregularly and stop eating when they are busy. Friends meet, eat and drink, not only hurt the spleen and stomach, but also lead to serious damp-heat in the spleen and stomach.

It is very good to eat Bazhen cake for conditioning at this time.

This kind of food can be cooked by yourself, but it is not easy to master and it is not easy to preserve after it is cooked, so friends in need still recommend eating the finished product.
