Xia Yue tries to reduce bitterness and talk about increasing enthusiasm, while autumn enthusiasm can save money, but it is sour.
These four sentences tell us that the four seasons and five flavors should be harmonized, that is to say, in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we should adjust the taste of the food we eat to be healthy.
In spring, everything grows, and the wood in the East is very prosperous. Wood belongs to the liver, and the liver qi is particularly strong. If the wood is too strong, it will break the ground, and the soil belongs to the spleen. Therefore, breaking ground in spring may hurt the spleen.
Five flavors enter five internal organs. Sour taste enters the liver, and eating sour food directly strengthens the liver's ability. Women should know that they like to eat sour food after they are pregnant, because the liver and kidney are homologous. After you are pregnant, the function of this kidney needs to be strengthened, and the liver qi needs to be more vigorous to support it; Willing to enter the spleen; Bitter taste into the heart; Spicy taste into the lungs; Salty taste enters the kidney. Therefore, the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty can support our liver, spleen, heart, lungs and kidneys and have an impact on the five internal organs.
It is not worth the loss to keep the balance between liver and spleen in spring, so eat less sour food to prevent the liver from being too strong and hurting the spleen and stomach, and eat more natural sweets appropriately. But it must be natural, and you can't eat too much artificially processed sugar. If you eat too much, it will do great harm to your health. The pharmacist's practice will say that our current diet structure is wrong, and we eat very refined rice and noodles every day. In fact, polished rice is not nutritious. Its nutrients all ran away in this process, becoming equal to eating white sugar, which is harmful to health, so it is better to eat a little coarse grains properly.
If we eat sour food, it will cause obstacles in gastric acid secretion and affect digestion and absorption, so it will hurt the spleen and stomach, so we should eat more natural sweet food appropriately. It's best to eat dates made in the north. Eating some of our dates should help.
In "North Dream", it is said that Yongle County is rich in that kind of big and sweet jujube. There is a woman named Sue who eats this every day and seldom eats whole grains. She didn't get married until she was 50. She looks like 20 years old. From the health point of view, jujube has the function of tonifying kidney, nourishing essence and strengthening the kidney, so there is a proverb in the north-eating three jujubes a day will never get old. From the pharmacist's practice, don't go to extremes in anything, eat a little of everything, but not too much. Eating too many dates has a bad effect on insomnia at night.
You can eat this yam jujube porridge in spring; In spring, because of the cold in spring, when it is warm and cold at first, put a little ginger in the dish properly to warm the middle and dispel the cold; In the third spring diet, we should pay attention to protecting the liver, because after the liver is too prosperous, it will also cause certain harm to her.
The moon in winter should be bitter but not salty. Eat moderately sweet in spring and moderately bitter in winter. In fact, winter can be tonic, not suitable for eating too salty. In winter, because the fire is very weak and the water is very strong, you should be able to eat more bitterness and enter the heart, and nourish the heart by improving the heart function, so don't eat too salty. Try to put less salt in winter dishes. Every day, each of us can't eat five grams of salt. In fact, all five flavors should be eaten lightly, which is good for health. In winter, you can eat some foods that tonify deficiency and heat, such as radish, which can help digestion, relieve cough and resolve phlegm. Therefore, eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe medicine.
To have some good living habits, it is best to drink soup before meals, not after meals. Different places have different eating habits. When I see Guangdong, he likes to drink some soup before meals. In Hunan and Hubei, it is common to eat a meal first and then drink a little soup. However, from a health point of view, it is better to have soup before meals. Drinking soup before meals is slim and healthy, and the more you drink soup after meals, the fatter you get. Pay attention to this diet.
Xia Yue, talk about reducing pain and increasing happiness. In summer, the heart is full of fire and there is a serious shortage of water. Because you are sweating every day, you should supplement some vitamins at this time. Because of sweating, vitamins ran away, twice as much as usual, so eat more fruits, twice as much as usual.
Some people say that he will never eat fruit in his life. This method is wrong. Don't think he said, "I am a vegetarian every day. Where do I have to eat fruit and waste money?" "In fact, you made a mistake. Because vitamins are necessary for our bodies. And it has a characteristic that it is very afraid of heat, that is, when your body temperature is hot, the vitamins run away. In other words, we can't eat food raw, but fry it with oil and salt. This vitamin will be destroyed when frying. The only thing we can eat raw is fruit. If you don't eat fruit, it will be very bad for your health, unless you can eat vegetables raw every day without oil and salt.
Eat more fruits, but fruits have their own medicinal properties. Pay attention to when which fruits can't be eaten. Xia Yue's heart is full of fire, so it is necessary to reduce the bitterness appropriately and add some pungent flavor to nourish the lungs. Because fire melts gold, it is easy to hurt the lungs in summer. If you keep blowing air conditioners or drinking ice water in summer, it is easy for cold air to enter the lungs and hurt them. Therefore, it is necessary to "Xia Yue talk about reducing pain and increasing pain" to avoid excessive and excited emotions.
For example, eat more strawberries, which is a better health food in summer. It can clear away heat and moisten lung, eliminate phlegm and diuresis, stop diarrhea and help digestion. Vitamins and pectin in fruits should have a significant effect on the treatment of hemorrhoids and hypertension, as well as anticancer components. However, it should be noted that diabetics should eat less strawberries.
Tomatoes can treat diseases such as prostatitis, and the lycopene contained in them should have a therapeutic effect on male prostatitis.
It is better to drink mung bean porridge in summer. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen praised mung beans as a good valley for saving the world.
You can eat some cucumbers, especially those with toxic small intestine. It is beneficial to eat a cucumber raw every day. It can promote the peristalsis of the intestine and let the corrupt things in the intestine be quickly discharged. Your skin will get better, your toothache may get better, and it should also help your sinusitis.
There is another aspect, "Xia Yue relieves pain". This "pain relief" should not be simply understood as unbearable food in summer. "Relieve the pain" is actually eating less irritating food in summer. This is the complete meaning of "relieving pain".
"Chou-heung can save but teach acid." In autumn, gold is very prosperous, so the lungs are very prosperous and dry. If we eat spicy food further, our lungs will be damaged. Jin Kemu, corresponding to liver qi deficiency, should eat more sour food. This is a method of keeping in good health in autumn. We can protect our liver qi by eating less spicy food and more sour food. We should eat less ginger and garlic in autumn, but we Buddhist disciples generally don't eat garlic. You can eat more apples, grapes and pineapples, and you can drink millet porridge and corn porridge for these sour foods.
Because autumn is very dry, it is better to drink more porridge. There is a poem by Lu You, who recently learned Wan Ping's immortal method and only ate porridge for immortals. In other words, by drinking porridge, you can recuperate and moisten the internal organs. The American Medical Association conducted a survey of Native Americans and found that no one among Indian people suffered from hypertension. What is the reason? It took several years to observe and found that their staple food was eating corn and planting that kind of corn on the mountain. This kind of coarse grains is actually helpful to our health.
There are also some potatoes, such as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, then yams and potatoes, all of which belong to potatoes. They should be able to absorb water, fat, toxins and lubricate the intestines. If you eat some properly, you can reduce the risk of colon cancer and rectal cancer, and you can get less diabetes, so you can add more in your diet appropriately.
In short, this song tells us to eat more sweets in spring; Eat more fruits in summer, and "eat ginger in summer", eat a little spicy food properly to protect the lungs; Eat sour in autumn; Eat something bitter in winter.
Generally speaking, in order to keep healthy in daily life, the five flavors of acid, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty should be as light as possible. There will be problems with five flavors, and there will be problems with everything, so don't be too strong, too spicy, too salty and too sweet, which is not good for your health.
