Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the treatment of diseases should be based on syndrome differentiation, and moon cakes should also be selected according to the types of moon cakes and their own physique.
Headline: Choose moon cakes according to your physique.
1, damp heat constitution and phlegm-dampness constitution
People in damp heat constitution are often greasy, prone to acne, sometimes have a bad smell in their mouths, and are often constipated and irritable.
People with phlegm-dampness constitution are characterized by obesity, fullness of abdomen, chest tightness, excessive phlegm and drowsiness.
People of these two constitutions should avoid choosing sweet, sticky and greasy moon cakes, and try to choose moon cakes with low sugar and low fat. For example, the moon cakes with frosted skin, which are popular in recent years, are low in sugar content and oil content, and they are healthier to eat. However, it should be noted that frozen moon cakes are relatively cold, and those with deficiency of spleen and stomach should not eat too much.
2. Yang deficiency constitution and Yin deficiency constitution
People with yang deficiency are pale, short of breath, weak, tired and prone to lie down, and their limbs are cold.
People with yin deficiency constitution show emaciation, blushing cheeks, fever in hands and feet, etc.
For people with these two constitutions, the choice of moon cakes is slightly larger, such as Wuren moon cakes and Shuanghuanglianrong moon cakes. And mooncakes with high calories can also be eaten properly.
Among them, Wuren moon cake is the first choice, and every "benevolence" of Wuren moon cake is a nutritious substance beneficial to body and mind. Walnut kernel tonifies qi and nourishes blood, olive kernel moistens lung, melon seed kernel prevents cell aging, almond depresses qi and moistens dryness, and sesame kernel has the effect of invigorating qi.
3. Blood stasis constitution
People with blood stasis constitution are pale or sallow, and their lips and claws are pale. Eating moon cakes stuffed with jujube paste is the first choice.
Jujube is sweet and flat, and has the function of invigorating qi and nourishing blood. People with blood stasis eat jujube paste moon cakes, and on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival of family reunion, they also follow the way of health preservation.
4. Qi stagnation constitution
People with qi stagnation are often depressed and prone to palpitation and insomnia. In the diet, you should eat more foods that promote qi and relieve depression, help digestion and wake up, and rose moon cakes are the first choice.
The medicinal properties of roses are very mild, which can warm people's efforts, relieve the depressed gas in the body, and play a role in calming, calming and antidepressant.
Pay attention to these two points when eating moon cakes healthily.
1, moon cakes must be "limited"
Mooncake itself is a kind of food with high sugar, high oil and high calorie, especially suitable for people with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Eating too much moon cakes will put a burden on your health.
It is suggested that you should not eat more than 100g-200g of moon cakes every day, and try to choose moon cakes with low sugar and oil. Moon cakes are best eaten at breakfast, which makes it easier to balance the nutrition and calories of the day.
2. Moon cakes with green tea
Eating moon cakes can be accompanied by green tea, which can remove the greasy feeling of moon cakes with the fragrance of tea, and can also reduce the intake of oil and avoid excessive calorie intake.
