Chi Xiaoling, director of the Department of Hepatology, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that as the saying goes, big apples are red, and eating them often can keep the stomach open. This is because apples have the effects of benefiting qi and strengthening spleen, promoting fluid production and relieving diarrhea, and stimulating appetite and sobering up. Therefore, people with chronic diarrhea due to spleen deficiency may wish to eat big apples often. Of course, to cure diarrhea, apples must be cooked.
From a nutritional point of view, apples are rich in vitamin C, organic acids, pectin and flavonoids. When eaten raw, these nutrients make apples have the functions of promoting intestinal peristalsis, helping to relieve constipation and detoxify, lowering blood fat and preventing colds. When cooked and eaten, cooked pectin will play an adsorption role, thus playing a role in stopping diarrhea. Therefore, people with weak gastrointestinal function and frequent diarrhea can cook apples to eat.

Cooked chestnut can harmonize stomach and spleen, and relieve spleen deficiency. That is to say, chestnuts should be eaten raw to tonify the kidney, and if they strengthen the spleen, they should be cooked and eaten. Raw food can refer to the eating method of Sun Simiao, the "medicine king" in Tang Dynasty. Buy some and go home to dry. Take 1~2 capsules in the morning and evening.

3. Ziziphus jujuba seeds: cooked food is more conducive to sleep than raw food.
From the General Pharmacy Department of the Eighth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, it is said that everyone will think of Ziziphus jujuba seed when treating insomnia. In fact, Ziziphus jujuba seeds are raw and cooked, and the effect of fried Ziziphus jujuba seeds on insomnia is better than that of raw Ziziphus jujuba seeds. If you often suffer from insomnia, you might as well eat fried jujube kernels.
Need to be reminded that the insomnia treated by jujube is mostly related to blood. Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs blood and the liver stores blood. There is a saying in Neijing that "blood returns to the liver when people lie down", which means that when people lie down and reduce their activities, the blood originally delivered to the limbs will return to the liver. After liver blood is filled, liver qi will be restored, and people will gradually feel tired and fall into sweet sleep. Although people with blood deficiency lie down, returning blood is not enough to conserve liver qi, so people always can't sleep or sleep restlessly. Ziziphus jujuba seed is sweet and red, which can replenish blood and restore qi and blood. It can help the human body gather more qi and blood into the liver, so it can help sleep quickly. In other words, fried Ziziphus jujuba seeds are suitable for insomnia patients with blood deficiency, such as insomnia, pale face and mental fatigue.
There are two ways to stir-fry jujube kernels: boiling soup and cooking porridge, with different dosage. How to eat the decoction: 15g Ziziphus jujuba seeds are mashed and boiled to get juice; Cooking method: use100g of japonica rice to cook porridge. When the rice is half cooked, add jujube soup and cook it into porridge. In addition, jujube noodles (dry jujube grinding. ) is a traditional food, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, promote digestion, supplement vitamins and strengthen the body. Ladies can beautify, lose weight and clear fat. Middle-aged and elderly people eat it, which can lower blood pressure and blood fat, stimulate appetite, soothe the nerves and help sleep.
4. Job's tears: Born Job's tears, cooked Job's tears warm the spleen.
Chen Yanqing, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that coix seed has certain effects of reducing weight, blood lipid and blood sugar. As for how to choose, it depends on different constitutions.
Raw coix seed is sweet and slightly cold. It belongs to lung, spleen and large intestine meridian, and the effect of promoting dampness and removing dampness is the most obvious. It can remove dampness and expel wind, clear away heat and expel pus, remove arthralgia and relieve pain, and has obvious effects on dysuria, edema, beriberi and rheumatic pain. People with damp-heat problems often have symptoms such as dry mouth and bitter taste, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and you can choose raw coix seed. When the elderly eat it, they can grind the corresponding coix seed into powder and take it with boiling water every time, so that the absorption and utilization rate will be higher.
Stir-frying Job's tears is to stir-fry Job's tears with a small torch until they are golden brown and slightly burnt. The so-called "burnt incense enters the spleen". Compared with raw coix seed, fried coix seed has less coolness and more astringency, and the effect of warming and invigorating the spleen becomes obvious. For example, people with spleen deficiency and cold are often manifested as fatigue, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, pale mouth and weak pulse, etc., and should choose fried coix seed. Stir-fried coix seed with bran is to stir-fry bran and coix seed together, which has a more obvious effect of strengthening spleen and astringing intestines, and is especially suitable for patients with spleen deficiency and dampness, frequent loose stools and edema. If the symptoms of diarrhea are obvious, especially after a cold or fatigue, you can choose to fry barley with bran.
Some unscrupulous businessmen in the market do not hesitate to bleach coix seed in pursuit of increasing sales. When buying, they can tell by the following methods: seal a small amount of Coix lachryma-jobi seed in a sealed bag, open the sealed bag after 1 hour, and smell whether there is irritating sulfur or formaldehyde; Take a handful of coix seed and rub it in your palm, then put it near your nose and smell it. If it is treated with sulfur or formaldehyde, it will have a pungent smell.
5. Radish: eat raw and clear heat, and eat cooked and digest.
Chen Yanqing, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that from the perspective of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, the effect of eating white radish raw is better. For example, oral ulcers, sore throats, and even more acne on the face than usual are all manifestations of internal fire. White radish can be eaten raw, cold, or cut into thick slices and chewed in your mouth. Don't swallow until the radish juice is chewed dry. Although it will be a little spicy to eat like this, if you can bear the taste and chew it two or three times more, it will still have a good cough relieving effect. It should be noted that it is forbidden to eat with fruits, and it is forbidden to use radishes when taking tonics such as ginseng and American ginseng.
Cooked white radish is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, helping digestion and qi. For example, you can stew radish and crucian carp soup. Use two fresh crucian carp and a white radish. First fry the crucian carp in oil, but don't fry it, don't put more oil; After frying, put some onions, put some ginger, and cut the ginger and onion into sections; After frying, take out the ginger onion and skim off the oil; Then put the crucian carp in the pot for a long time, more than an hour, because this food is not mainly for eating the meat of crucian carp, but for taking its soup. When it is almost ripe, put the radish about 10 minutes in advance.
Fish is nourishing yin, and radish has the function of qi-flowing, so radish crucian carp soup can be used as a diet therapy for a long time, which can replenish the spleen and stomach and liver and kidney. It should be said that it is a very good diet prescription, and these things are not expensive, and they can be bought everywhere in the market.
