Diets that must be known for health care should be avoided. As the saying goes, medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements. The diet contents of ordinary people and patients should not and cannot be the same model. Special time and special people also have diet taboos that should be paid attention to. Next, I will introduce the diet taboos that must be known for health care in detail.
Diet should be taboo for health preservation 1 diet should be taboo for health preservation. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, food is divided into five flavors, namely, sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. (Neijing) There is a saying: "...... five grains are the nourishment, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, five dishes are the filling, and the five flavors are combined to supplement the essence. These five flavors are beneficial to each other, and the five internal organs are suitable for illness at all times." There is also a saying that acid enters the liver first, bitter enters the heart first, sweet enters the spleen first, pungent enters the lung first, and salty enters the kidney first. In terms of the nature of food, it is generally classified by temperature, heat, cold, cool and equality. There are thick and thin smells. Those with thick gas float, those with thin gas drop, those with thick taste sink, those with thin taste rise, and those with even smell mean four gases and four flavors.
Generally speaking, the principles of diet taboo are: when taking medicine, liver disease is forbidden to be pungent, heart disease is forbidden to be salty, spleen disease is forbidden to be sour, kidney disease is forbidden to be sweet, and lung disease is forbidden to be bitter. Yang deficiency should be avoided, yin deficiency should be avoided, cold disease should be avoided, and warm food should be suitable. Heat should not be spicy, so it should be tonic. In order to facilitate the explanation of food taboos, food can be divided into several categories:
The first category, spicy category:
Such as onions, leeks, garlic, peppers, peppers, alcohol, etc., are suitable for people with "cold bottom", and a small amount of food has the effect of activating yang and strengthening the stomach. However, it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang, especially those with anemia, cough, eye diseases, hemorrhoids, skin diseases, yin deficiency, constipation, dry mouth and burning lips.
The second category, cold food:
All fruits and vegetables should be reduced or prohibited for those with deficiency cold, acute gastrointestinal diseases, abdominal pain, windy stomach cold, nausea, diarrhea, light mouth and dizziness. Patients with cough due to exogenous wind-cold should stop eating fruit to avoid cold in the lungs. The above foods are especially for those who hide in the snow. At the same time, if people with deficiency cold want to eat fruit, try not to eat it in the morning or at night, because the stomach is susceptible to cold on an empty stomach in the morning, and it is easy to form moisture retention or nocturia at night. For people with low fever, or patients with fever, epidemic febrile disease, constipation and sore throat, we should encourage them to eat more of these foods.
The third category, that is, greasy and hard, stagnant food:
Including all fried products, barbecues, butter, peanuts, taro, squid, beef jerky and all indigestible things, it is not suitable for people suffering from exogenous diseases, old people, children, hepatobiliary diseases, stomach diseases, dry stools or diarrhea, and people with weak spleen and stomach. Among all kinds of food, this kind of food is the most likely to cause gastrointestinal diseases and other symptoms such as heat, stagnation and diarrhea, and most people should try to avoid eating it.
The fourth category, seafood:
In recent years, due to the serious pollution of seawater, seafood is most likely to absorb all kinds of harmful metal substances, such as mercury and other metal elements, and bacterial and viral infections are also quite serious. Countries all over the world have strict import controls on this. This kind of seafood is available in some food stalls and restaurants, and children, the elderly, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency and weakness are particularly vulnerable. For example, it causes gastroenteritis, hepatitis and heavy metal poisoning. Even strong people should be careful to identify this kind of seafood and avoid eating it. People with allergies had better not eat too much seafood.
Health care must know that diet should be taboo. 2 What taboos should I pay attention to in autumn tonic?
Taboo 1. Blind tinkering
If you don't have any diseases, it will not only increase the economic burden, but also bring harm to your body. Excessive use of vitamin D may cause poisoning, and drinking glucose for a long time will increase cholesterol in the blood and obesity. No matter whether it is expensive or low-cost, taking it in excess will be harmful to the body. Eating a lot of ginseng and velvet supplements will cause loss of appetite and bloating, and eating a lot of vitamin C will cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
Taboo 2. The more expensive the drug, the more it will be filled.
As we all know, scarcity is precious. Now there are some noble traditional foods on the market, such as bird's nest, abalone and shark's fin. In fact, there is no peculiar diet. It is better to choose common foods in the family, such as onion, sweet potato or garlic. As the saying goes, medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, so we should pay more attention to low-cost food in life. For example, white radish can achieve the effects of invigorating the stomach, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, shepherd's purse can help treat hypertension, and yam can supplement the spleen and stomach. In addition, red dates, lotus roots, walnuts and lentils are the best tonic foods. We can't judge its nutritional value by meeting in kind. For the elderly, we should choose low-cost and practical nourishing products.
Taboo 3. Choose a supplement specially.
Some people will take a certain tonic according to their own tastes, which will also affect their health. Food and drugs have the efficacy of health care and treatment, but also bring side effects. Eating them for a long time will lead to unbalanced nutrition. Especially for the elderly, the functions of various zang-fu organs have begun to decline, and it is necessary to comprehensively and systematically regulate them. We should choose the appropriate tonic according to the patient's condition and season, and we can't keep it the same.
Taboo four, eat meat to make up.
It is true that animal food is a good thing in supplements. It is nutritious and delicious, but it is not easy to be digested and absorbed. Eating it for a long time will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Eating too much meat can also cause excessive sugar and lipid, which increases the risk of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Usually, it is necessary to do a good job of combining vegetarian diet with thick and thin diet, and eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits, which contain trace elements and vitamins that are essential to the body.
Tips
Patients who are not deficient can't use tonics. Deficiencies can be divided into many types, such as deficiency of yin and yang and deficiency of qi and blood. It is necessary to take drugs to tonify the body, so as to avoid the situation that deficiency is not supplemented.
Diet should be avoided for health preservation. 3 For patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia, adequate attention should be paid to the diet, and the principles of low sugar, low fat, low salt, high dietary fiber, high vitamins and high protein should be adhered to to to comprehensively control blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids. There are the following points:
1, low salt, eating too much salt is not conducive to blood pressure control. Some commonly used condiments, such as edible salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, hot sauce and bean paste, all contain a lot of salt, so you should put as little as possible when cooking. There are pickles, bacon, salted fish and pickled mustard tuber, as well as some canned food, which contains more salt and should be eaten less. You can choose low-sodium salt rich in potassium ions to replace the usual edible salt for seasoning.
2, low-fat diet, excessive fat intake will lead to obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood cholesterol, which is not conducive to blood sugar control. Fat is also divided into good fat and bad fat. Good fat is called unsaturated fatty acid, which is mostly found in vegetable oil, beans and most nuts. These can be eaten properly. Bad fats commonly include saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, and saturated fatty acids are common in animal oils, such as lard, butter and chicken oil. Cholesterol also exists in animal viscera, fat meat, crab roe, fish eggs, cream, egg yolk and fried foods. These bad foods containing bad fat should also be avoided as far as possible to prevent the blood lipid from rising.
3. Choose foods with low sugar content or low glycemic index. Foods with high sugar content will lead to an obvious increase in blood sugar, which will increase the burden on the pancreas and turn into blood lipids in the body. Don't eat all kinds of high-sugar foods such as sugar, candied fruit, fruit juice and jam, and high-starch foods such as bread and cakes. Staple food can appropriately increase the proportion of coarse grains, such as buckwheat, naked oats, oats, corn flour, purple yam, etc., which are rich in dietary fiber but low in starch content. At the same time, you can eat more green leafy vegetables and supplement vitamins and trace elements.
Following the above principles, patients with hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia should pay attention to scientific collocation in diet, give priority to cereals and prefer coarse grains, reduce the amount of cooking oil and edible salt, eat more fresh vegetables, milk, bean products and beans, and eat some fish, poultry protein and lean meat appropriately.
