Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body itself is a combination of Yin and Yang Qi, and the internal organs are responsible for the movement of various qi in the body, such as Wei Qi, Qi Ying, Shui Gu, Qingqi and clan relatives.
People will get sick, and the disease is caused by the invasion of six evils from the outside or the obstruction of human qi due to their own emotions. As the name implies, promoting qi is to help people's qi flow smoothly. For example, radish is commonly used in clinic to relieve cough and resolve phlegm. Cough is naturally caused by poor lung convergence, which leads to upward movement of air. The appearance of radish helps the lungs to drag down the reactionary airflow. The so-called "big downward" is to give qi a downward force and give it a direction!
It is said that it is best to choose winter for nourishing, and the most practical diet is "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer". Why?
According to the correspondence between the five elements and the four seasons in traditional Chinese medicine. Winter corresponds to the kidney, which belongs to the black water in the five elements and is the main source of Tibetan gods. In other words, winter is the best season for tonifying kidney.
Earlier, it was reported that the radish owner was "angry" and hoped to drag the gas in his body down. Where should he go?
The radish caught its breath, and its destination was naturally the kidney. It is best to tonify kidney in winter. With radish to guide the direction, nutrients will naturally not go in the wrong direction!
Words in vitro: Why do you say that you eat ginger in summer? Although summer is the season with the most abundant yang, in fact, the long summer belongs to the yin of yang, and yang has begun to decline. Ginger is an excellent food for warming and nourishing yang. Using it naturally can prevent the premature discharge of Yuanyang in the body and attract the invasion of foreign evils!
In many parts of our country, especially in the vast rural areas, there are proverbs such as "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you don't mind doctors prescribing medicine" and "radish and ginseng". What are the benefits of eating radish?
1. Radish has high dietary fiber. In winter, many people drink less water and the weather is dry, which will lead to constipation. Eating more radishes at this time is helpful for defecation.
2. The hydration effect is good. Radish has a high water content, up to 90%. Those with low calories can eat more.
