Drink tea when you recognize your constitution
Miao Yu once said that drinking tea is "a cup of tea is a taste, two cups are stupid things to quench your thirst, and three cups are drinking cattle and mules". In a dream of red mansions, everyone likes different teas. After eating greasy food, Grandmother Jia doesn't drink Lu 'an tea. Baoyu ate noodles and wanted to drink "daughter tea".
Lu 'an tea is a kind of bitter green tea, which can clear away heat and detoxify, but it is not suitable for the elderly. Daughter tea is a kind of Pu 'er tea, which has a strong digestion and detoxification effect, and also has a certain menstruation regulating effect, and is suitable for women to drink. Tea contains tannin. Drinking a lot of tea will cause too much tannic acid in the body and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. Therefore, it is very important to drink tea according to your own constitution. Older women with cold constitution, stomach cold and menstrual period should drink less green tea. Even ordinary people should drink less strong tea in winter, and black tea is better. Don't drink strong tea after 2 pm or 4 pm at the latest, otherwise it will affect your sleep.
A "light" back massage should be healthy.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, there are many scenes in which maids beat the backs of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. This is the most common health care method in ancient times.
There are three important meridians in the back. Along the spine is the Du meridian, which is the yang of the human body. The distance between the two sides is 1.5 inch, which is the bladder meridian and is related to human internal organs. The key to rubbing your back is to be "light". The correct way is to bend your fingers slightly together, open your palms and pat your back, and follow the spine from top to bottom, from the middle to both sides. The best time for back massage is from 3 pm to 5 pm, which is the time to pay attention to bladder meridian and has the best health care effect.
Happy at ordinary times, long life.
She died at the age of 83, and grandma Liu was still alive at the age of 85. Although they are rich and poor, and their living environment is very different, they all live a long life. What is the secret of their longevity?
The biggest secret of Jia Mu's longevity is to attach importance to enjoying family happiness, and like to have a family reunion dinner together, lively and not lonely. Grandma Liu is optimistic and humorous by nature, and she is not angry when being teased. She often laughs at herself "how much food does a big bowl eat". Modern people should learn more from the attitude of Jia Mu and Granny Liu that "longevity comes from happiness". Now many diseases, such as stomach disease, enteritis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, cancer and so on. It has a lot to do with mood. Modern people lack affection most, and children generally live separately from the elderly, which leads to the loneliness of the elderly at ordinary times. Therefore, the elderly should first relax themselves, and their children should spend more time with their parents, so that the elderly can enjoy family happiness and prolong their lives.
Patients with "three highs" should eat "longevity bags"
Tofu-skin steamed bread is steamed bread with tofu skin as the skin and fungus, mushrooms and vegetables as the stuffing. In the Qing dynasty, it was used as a tribute to the emperor for a long time. Therefore, in the eighth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a scene in which Baoyu is reluctant to eat but wants to leave it to Qingwen.
Tofu skin steamed stuffed bun is also called "longevity bag". Among them, auricularia auricula and tofu have the function of lowering blood fat, especially tofu skin, which contains a lot of phytoestrogens and has the function of delaying aging and beautifying. For patients with "three highs", steamed stuffed bun with bean curd skin is a very good healthy dish.
Hunger therapy to prevent colds
In a dream of red mansions, from the master to the servant girl, we eat very little for three meals a day. When catching a cold, the doctor does not prescribe a prescription, but makes people "hungry for two meals" first, or requires that the diet must be light.
Not taking medicine for minor ailments is a good way for the ancients to keep fit. The so-called hunger therapy is actually not really eating at all, but eating lightly. Drink some rice soup properly, mainly rice soup, which has the effect of moistening the five internal organs. When you have a cold, you can take hunger therapy, drink more white rice porridge, put some mung beans in summer, add some glutinous rice in winter, and put some yam and jujube in middle-aged and elderly people. For gastrointestinal colds, you can use white radish and salt to make soup together, and even eat radish together to help digestion.
