In addition, Chinese medicine believes that the five flavors in the diet enter the five internal organs, sour taste enters the liver, bitter taste enters the heart, sweet taste enters the spleen, spicy taste enters the lungs, and salty taste enters the kidney.
Extended data:
The way to maintain health in four seasons-nourishing liver in spring, stomach in summer, lung in autumn and kidney in winter.
First, nourishing the liver in spring
1, five elements of traditional Chinese medicine and visceral manifestation theory, spring is the time when the liver is full of qi and blood. "Liver" is one of the five internal organs of human body, and its function is to store blood, so it is called "blood sea". If the liver and gallbladder are not smooth, spring nursed back to health can be repaired best.
2, as the saying goes, "liver and gallbladder care for each other", the liver is not good to hurt the gallbladder, and the gallbladder is not good to hurt the liver. A person with a good liver is courageous, energetic and focused. However, poor liver will affect the function of gallbladder, from physical to psychological, which is easy to make people timid. Timid people tend to hesitate when dealing with things. If they hesitate, they will have no courage! So nourishing the liver can inspire courage. This "courage" includes physical and psychological "courage".
Second, nourishing the stomach in summer
1, eat less in summer because people tend to feel hungry because of more exercise in summer. Hunger makes people gobble, and I don't know if I'm full after eating. It is easy to overeat, causing indigestion and hurting the spleen and stomach. So, eat slowly and you won't eat too much.
2. Eat less meat. The ancients said, "Don't eat fat to nourish your stomach." Summer diet is light, in order to keep the body relaxed, eating too greasy, like adding fuel to the fire, the body is hot and dry, but it is uncomfortable.
Third, nourishing the lungs in autumn
1, the environment is cool in autumn, so we should pay more attention to keeping warm. Therefore, diet is very important. First of all, avoid eating raw and cold to avoid retention and indigestion. So if you eat cold fruits and vegetables, you'd better eat some hot food later to avoid gastrointestinal problems.
2, autumn belongs to the lungs, eating a little spicy in moderation can stimulate lung operation and strengthen lung function. ? In autumn, white food is healthy. For example, white bamboo shoots, Chinese yam, white radish, Jin Baihe, grapefruit, water pear, tremella and chestnuts are all selected ingredients in this season.
Fourth, nourish the kidney in winter
1, "keep warm from the cold" in winter, pay attention to keep warm when dressing, and avoid eating raw and cold food.
2. For the five elements, winter belongs to water, and the corresponding color is black, so the food should be mainly black, such as black fungus, black dates, angelica, black beans and brown sugar, which are good materials for preparing winter food.
