1, TCM health care concerns
1, TCM health experts believe that the respiratory organs should be strengthened day by day, and bad habits should be abandoned: first, smoking and drinking. Most of its purposes are to improve the blood supply system and the functions of other brain organs, and also to enhance the immune system. Traditional Chinese medicine health experts believe that bad habits can easily lead to unhealthy health.
2. Strengthening musculoskeletal tissues and joints is very helpful for TCM health preservation: this one is extremely important for all internal organs. Developed skeletal muscle can enhance the function of internal organs. To keep these organs in a state of training, the means is to strengthen the muscles of hands, back, abdomen, chest, legs, neck and other parts through gymnastics and massage, to help improve posture and make joints flexible.
3. Chinese medicine health experts suggest maintaining normal weight: if the weight exceeds the normal standard, it will easily lead to premature aging of various organs. There are only two reliable ways to overcome obesity: first, food has limited calories, but it should be nutritious (it is advisable to eat more natural fruits and vegetables and less pasta and sweets). Second, active exercise with circular exercise (race walking, running, swimming, skiing, cycling). These TCM health preserving methods are very helpful to maintain normal weight!
2, winter diet misunderstanding
Myth 1: Sticking to a vegetarian diet will help you live longer.
Protein is the main component of all cells and tissues in human body, and animal protein contains essential amino acids, which is a high-quality protein that cannot be replaced by plant protein. High-quality animal protein, such as fish, milk, eggs and lean meat, should be eaten properly to meet the needs of the human body.
Myth 2: Vegetarian food does not contain animal fat, which is good for losing weight.
Many vegetarians believe that as long as they do not contain animal food raw materials, they are foods with high nutritional value. In fact, many processed foods are made of plant raw materials, but most of them are made of polished white rice and polished white flour, in which dietary fiber is removed and a lot of oil, sugar or salt is added, which cannot replace the health care function of fresh natural foods. In view of people's preference for vegetarian and plant-based foods, some products even use "plant cream" as a promotional selling point, and in terms of the impact on blood lipids, such "vegetable oil" is worse than animal oil. Many studies have confirmed that hydrogenated vegetable oil contained in these products will introduce trans fatty acids, which will greatly increase people's risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and may also endanger the health of the brain.
Myth 3: I think all vegetables are equally good.
For strict vegetarians, the nutritional significance of vegetables is more important. They should not only shoulder the heavy responsibility of supplementing vitamin C and carotene, but also contribute iron, calcium, folic acid and vitamin B2. Therefore, we should try to choose vegetable varieties rich in these nutrients, among which green leafy vegetables are the best, such as kale, cauliflower, amaranth, spinach, rape and chrysanthemum. In order to increase the supply of protein, mushroom vegetables and fresh bean vegetables are the best choices, such as various mushrooms, edamame and fresh peas. If you only like a few so-called "slimming vegetables" such as cucumber, tomato, wax gourd and bitter gourd, it is difficult to get enough nutrition.
