Ancient and modern health poems
Raw pears moisten the lungs and resolve phlegm, while apples have high antidiarrheal nutrition. Tomatoes enrich the blood and help the face, and lotus roots relieve anxiety and hangover. Oranges regulate qi and resolve phlegm, and leeks tonify kidney and warm knees and waist. Radish helps digestion except flatulence, celery can cure hypertension. Chinese cabbage diuretics excrete toxins, and cauliflower often causes cancer by eating less. Wax gourd has the function of diuresis and detumescence, and mung bean has a high detoxification effect. Black fungus engages in cancer to dissipate blood stasis, and yam benefits the kidney and eliminates edema. Kelp contains iodine to disperse blood stasis, and Lentinus edodes inhibits cancer cells. Pepper dispels cold and dehumidifies, and onion and ginger soup cures colds. Fish, shrimp, pig's trotters replenish milk, and pig's liver and sheep's liver improve eyesight. Eat walnuts to strengthen the kidney and waist, and eat red dates to invigorate the kidney and spleen.
