expert opinion/advice
No meat, no joy? Fruits and vegetables moisten the lungs!
Yang Li, a professor at China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: In autumn, people like to eat large pieces of meat for tonic. Animal food is undoubtedly a good tonic, which is not only nutritious, but also delicious. However, meat is not easy to digest and absorb. If you eat more for a long time, it will often be overwhelmed for the elderly whose gastrointestinal function has declined. However, some by-products in the process of meat digestion, such as acidic lipids and sugars, are often the causes of common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases in the elderly, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer.
Professor Yang suggested that everyone: "Diet is about to happen" said: It is dry in autumn, so you should eat hemp to moisten dryness, and avoid eating cold drinks. There are even people who advocate eating raw porridge in autumn to nourish yin and moisten dryness. In short, you can eat some soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, honey, loquat, pineapple and dairy products in autumn, which will benefit your stomach and promote fluid production. Fresh fruits and vegetables usually have the effect of relieving cough and moistening lung.

Second, the region is indiscriminate? There is a big difference between north and south!
Tian Hua, chief physician of Chinese Medicine Department of Shanghai Yueyang Hospital, said: China has a vast territory, different geographical environment and different lifestyles, which belong to winter, and the climate in northwest China is quite different from that in southeast coastal areas. In winter, the weather in northwest and northeast China is cold, so it is advisable to supplement it with the taste of summer heat, such as mutton, dog meat and venison. In tonics, such as ginseng wine and ginseng antler wine, it is really effective in strengthening the body, keeping out the cold and helping the yang. Even in autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature is much milder than in the north, so the tonic should be light and sweet, such as chickens, ducks and geese.
Professor Tian suggested that if Jiangnan people eat more mutton, dog meat and venison. It is easy to be hot and dry, and there will be symptoms such as sore throat, aphtha and nosebleeds. In areas with less rainfall and dry climate, it is better to use less, especially dried fruits and vegetables such as lily, water chestnut, lotus root and pear.
The more tonic the better? The right medicine is effective!
Wang Fawei, chief physician of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of PLA General Hospital, said: Eating too much food or supplements is harmful, and it is unscientific to eat more supplements to treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases. Making up for illness not only increases expenses, but also harms yourself. In particular, some people think that bird's nest, sea cucumber and cordyceps are good things, but in fact, sea cucumber mainly nourishes kidney yin, while bird's nest and cordyceps enhance immunity, so it is unnecessary for ordinary people to use these things for tonic. It is best to eat some seasonal fruits and vegetables such as radish, pear, lotus root, lily and tremella.
Director Wang suggested that in order to enhance immunity in autumn, besides tonic, exercise is also very important. You can take a walk after dinner, ride a bike near your commute, play badminton with your family on weekends or go hiking in the suburbs. At the same time, pay attention to raising income in autumn and stay up late less. Try to go to bed at noon when it is unnecessary, and go to bed early and get up early for good health.
It varies from person to person: it is not appropriate to abuse the cream.
Wang Jian, director of the Nutrition Department of xinqiao hospital, the Third Military Medical University, said: The principle of TCM treatment is to replenish deficiency. It doesn't mean that patients with deficiency should not use tonics. Only the right medicine can make up the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive and will hurt the body. Although health care is not as strict as treating diseases, it should at least be divided into two categories: cold and heat. Slightly cold people are afraid of cold and like heat, their hands and feet are not warm, their mouth is pale and drooling, their stools are thin, their urine is long, their tongue is pale and their pulse is heavy. Fever, fever in hands and feet, dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, dry stool, short and red urine, red tongue and rapid pulse. If you throw medicinal food regardless of cold and heat, it will easily lead to adding fuel to the fire.
Dr. Wang Jian said: Now many white-collar workers hope to achieve the purpose of conditioning sub-health and anti-fatigue by prescribing ointment. However, with the rising price of medicinal materials, ointment costing thousands of dollars is prohibitive, and some young white-collar workers turn to shopping websites to buy cheap finished ointment. In addition, there are some female white-collar workers who make their own creams at home and put the recipes and practices online. But in fact, every year, I get angry and get sore in my mouth because I buy materials and homemade cream at home.
According to Li Qun, director of the Nutrition Department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital, the nutrition needed for human health is not an element, but a scientific combination of multiple elements in proportion, which varies from person to person. For example, in protein, patients with energy malnutrition in protein need a high-protein diet, but for patients with chronic renal failure, high protein is often fatal. Broth (fish, broth) is rich in fat, but other nutrients are few. For example, protein dissolved in a bowl of fish soup only accounts for about 2% of fish, but it concentrates 40% of the fat in fish.
For the elderly who need scientific intake of protein, vitamins and dietary fiber, as well as people with three highs, drinking fish soup often will lead to excessive fat intake and energy. At the same time, the satiety of fish soup will crowd out the stomach capacity of other foods that he should have ingested, and long-term consumption will affect the dietary structure and cause nutritional imbalance.
