The "hair" referred to by the people mostly refers to scaleless fish and some foods with high egg quality and high nutrition, such as shrimp, crab, sea cucumber, mutton, beef and Chinese toon. Those who think these.
Nutritionists believe that these "hair products" can stimulate the body to produce stimulating reactions, thus awakening the body's immunity and restoring and improving physiological functions. For example, loach contains protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. It is a good product to protect the liver, and patients with acute and chronic hepatitis should eat more. Sea cucumber, laver, kelp, squid, etc. It is not only a common food, but also a common drug for anti-cancer treatment; Toona sinensis has the functions of astringing intestine to stop bleeding, eliminating dampness and fixing semen, and is suitable for hematochezia, hemorrhoids, enteritis, dysentery, leukorrhagia, nocturnal emission and other diseases. Therefore, taboos should be scientific and carried out according to different diseases. Don't blindly avoid taboos.
2. dialectical feeding of traditional Chinese medicine and taboo dialectical feeding of traditional Chinese medicine are also dietotherapy. It is an integral part of TCM therapeutics. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that food is the first thing in treating diseases, not medicine. It can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to treating diseases with food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that drugs are cold, cool, warm, bitter and salty, and food is no exception. Food can not only keep healthy, but also cure diseases. Many traditional Chinese medicines are foods in people's daily life, such as ginger, scallion, jujube, longan, yam, lily, adzuki bean and so on. We call those animal and plant medicines that are edible and can prevent and treat diseases "edible Chinese medicine". Ancient doctors have used this convenient food to treat diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, Tang and Meng E's Dietotherapy Materia Medica, Nan Tang's Edible Materia Medica and Ying's Tonifying Materia Medica are all monographs in this field. The characteristic of TCM treatment is "syndrome differentiation and treatment", and TCM dietotherapy is also based on TCM syndrome differentiation theory, emphasizing "syndrome differentiation and food application". Eating according to syndrome differentiation is to decide taboos according to the patient's condition and nature. The choice of patients' food should be based on the four flavors and meridian tropism of the food itself, combined with factors such as illness, weather, climate, geographical environment and living habits. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is "cold is hot, and heat is cold", and foods or taboos are selected according to the cold and heat nature of diseases. If the patient's syndrome is cold, generally avoid cold food, such as duck, asparagus, lotus root, watermelon, pear, mung bean and so on. If the patient's symptoms are hot, it is necessary to avoid hot food, such as mutton, dog meat, shrimp, eel, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, orange, litchi and so on. Patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency who are prone to diarrhea should avoid eating cold, greasy and indigestible food; Patients with lung and stomach yin deficiency, dry mouth and red tongue should avoid spicy and fragrant foods. It is not taboo as people think, that is, anyone with acute or chronic diseases must avoid eating all "hair".
3. contraindications after taking medicine, that is, eating certain foods after taking medicine will enhance the medicinal properties of some drugs or reduce the efficacy of some drugs. For example, patients are taking traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating spleen and stomach, warming middle warmer and benefiting qi, but it is not suitable to eat foods such as cold and slippery intestines, which can not achieve the effect of invigorating spleen and warming middle warmer, benefiting qi and benefiting stomach. Fish and crabs should be avoided after eating traditional Chinese medicine decoction containing Schizonepeta tenuifolia; Avoid peaches, plums and garlic when taking Atractylodes macrocephala decoction. Decoct with Smilax glabra and avoid honey; Take ginseng to avoid Rachel and so on.
The taboo of TCM based on syndrome differentiation is completely different from people's taboo on all hair. Some skin diseases, such as urticaria, neurodermatitis, pruritus, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, allergic dermatitis, rosacea, etc. , closely related to some foods. During the onset or after a period of cure, fish, shrimp, crabs and other fishy "hair", as well as poultry food and irritating foods such as onions, garlic and peppers should be restricted or fasted. Some skin diseases, such as scabies, tinea corporis, vitiligo, etc. Don't be afraid because they have nothing to do with diet.
Most skin diseases have rashes. Rash is "hair", and some foods are "hair"-containing foreign protein. When this special protein is absorbed by human body, it will cause allergic reaction and damage the skin. Therefore, people with skin diseases should abstain from irritating food during taking medicine or for a long time after treatment. Otherwise, even if the skin disease is in a stable period, it will recur.
But some patients are allergic to only one or two kinds of food, so don't go too far within the scope of taboo food. Patients can record the kind and time of food they eat, and the time when symptoms appear. If it appears 12 ~ 24 hours after eating, it is allergic food. In this way, taboos are targeted and the scope of taboos is narrowed. In daily life, it is very common for some people to avoid all so-called "hair products" no matter what kind of skin diseases they suffer from or what kind of food they are allergic to. Therefore, malnutrition affects health. Even people with skin diseases don't always avoid taboo food. After the general skin disease has stabilized for a period of time, you can try to eat allergic food, starting from a small amount, and gradually increasing the amount and frequency if there is no special reaction. After repeated desensitization, some people can no longer have allergic reactions to foods that were originally allergic.
Hair: may lead to recurrence or aggravate the condition.
Hair can lead to relapse or aggravate the disease. To sum up, there are three possibilities: first, these animal foods contain some hormones, which will promote some hyperfunctions or metabolic disorders of the human body. For example, when glucocorticoid exceeds the physiological dose, it can induce infection spread, ulcer bleeding, epilepsy and so on. , and cause relapse. Second, the foreign protein contained in some foods becomes allergens, causing the recurrence of allergic diseases. Such as marine fish, shrimps and crabs, often cause intractable skin diseases such as urticaria, eczema, neurodermatitis, impetigo and psoriasis in people with skin allergies. Tofu sometimes causes asthma to recur. Third, some irritating foods, such as alcohol, onions, garlic, etc., are easy to cause inflammation to spread and boils turn yellow.
First, the meaning and concept of hair
Literally speaking, onset includes seizure, induction, excitation and recurrence. Although there are vivid, vivid and concrete descriptions of food such as Fawu in ancient medical books, there is still a lack of systematic, complete and accurate theoretical explanation in concept. Generally known as pungent substances, seafood, fishy hair, etc., their pathogenic factors have their own characteristics, such as fever, sores, poisoning, fire, expelling wind, diuresis, phlegm, qi circulation, cold accumulation, chronic diseases and so on. For example, Encyclopedia of Medical Telepathy Room: "Seafood, chicken and shrimp are prohibited for toxic diseases" [2]; Compendium of Materia Medica: "After mutton fever, fever and malaria, it will be dangerous to eat" [3]; "Life Taste Diet Spectrum" [4]: "Goose, wind-induced sores"; Chickens "eat more, produce heat, wind and sores"; Pork "eat more to help damp heat"; Yangmei "eats more blood"; Mustard is "angry"; Pepper is "spicy"; Black beans are "stagnant"; Buckwheat suffers from chronic diseases. By analyzing the hair types and diseases described in ancient Chinese medicine books, hair contains two aspects: broad sense and narrow sense.
Broadly speaking, as the late modern famous doctor Qin Bowei said, "All mustard greens, leeks, mushrooms, cauliflower, etc. , can cause dry mouth, jealousy, swollen gums and constipation, and may have fever, commonly known as "hair" [5]; The Chinese-Japanese Dictionary (Japanese) explains that "generally speaking, it is food that stimulates or aggravates trauma, swelling or a certain disease, such as mutton, sea cucumber, fish and food" [6]. Hair can be understood as a kind of food that a healthy person induces a certain disease, stimulates a new disease or hinders treatment, aggravates illness and affects physical recovery due to improper diet in the process of normal intake, taking medicine for illness and conditioning after illness.
In a narrow sense, hair diseases are similar to some manifestations of food allergy in allergic diseases referred to in modern medicine. In this regard, ancient medical books have recorded it for a long time, such as "Essentials of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of erysipelas": "Some people can't eat chicken and money all their lives, and only by eating them can they get rid of erysipelas" [7]. So the meaning of hair can be understood as: any food that can induce some people to suddenly develop diseases (such as allergic urticaria, eczema, purpura, gastroenteritis, shock, etc.). ) Because you normally eat some non-toxic food. In this sense, human food is likely to turn into hair, and it varies from person to person, and it is impossible to cause hair damage to anyone. It is often determined by family inheritance and individual differences (allergic constitution), and is influenced by external factors such as seasonal climate, diet and processing [8].
Second, a preliminary study on the pathogenesis of hair.
According to the nature, efficacy and action characteristics of different foods, combined with the physical condition of human body, the interaction between food and drugs, the nature and development trend of diseases, etc. [9], food may become hair products and cause diseases as follows.
1. Improper diet: the choice of food is often opposed to improper selection, collocation and cooking, or improper diet, untimely, excessive and long-term single intake. So that the harmful substances in food can not be effectively suppressed or eliminated, or the digestion and absorption are poor, and the food inclines the function of the viscera, which may become hair and lead to diseases. "Jing Yue Quan Shu": "People who are occasionally ill often doubt eating other things. If they eat food one day, or eat some meat or noodles, they will get sick one day "[10], including eating bad food by mistake, eating too much for a long time, unreasonable diet (foods are similar to each other), improper cooking and so on. For example, goose eggs "eat too much and hurt the stomach, causing dysentery"; Sheep liver "hurts the liver and hurts the eyes for a long time"; Chestnuts are "difficult to melt when eaten raw, but sluggish when cooked" [1 1]. And the traditional understanding that eating mutton avoids plums, chicken avoids garlic, crucian carp avoids mustard, jujube avoids onions, loquat avoids hot noodles and raw onions avoids honey.
2. Adverse reactions of food and drugs: Food and drugs have different tastes and functions. When taking drugs to treat diseases, when the effects of food and drugs are inconsistent, it will weaken and offset the curative effect of drugs, and even produce toxic and side effects, thus hindering the treatment of diseases. "Compendium of Materia Medica" does not eat when taking medicine: "Anyone who takes medicine should not eat fat pig dog meat, greasy soup or smelly things. It is not unreasonable to eat more slippery things such as raw garlic, coriander, raw onion and fruit when taking medicine. "[12]. Clinical drugs such as licorice, cocklebur fruit, Evodia rutaecarpa, coptis root, platycodon grandiflorum, ebony pork, magnolia bark, fried beans, turtle shell, amaranth, rehmannia root, Polygonum multiflorum, onion, garlic, radish, etc. The taboo of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on this point.
3. The relationship between food and diseases: diseases can be divided into exterior, cold and heat, deficiency and excess, yin and yang. Food is warm, cold, sour, bitter, sweet and salty, as well as nourishing, purging and slippery. The function of food is consistent with the nature and trend of diseases, which will help evil and harm rights, increase diseases and benefit diseases. "Wang Yi Cang", "Any unhealed disease, sudden increase of internal and external miscellaneous syndromes, or recurrence of old diseases, are all due to poor conditioning" [2], which includes food intake factors. Clinically, such as damp-heat syndrome, pork, caramel, pasta and jujube are not suitable for eating; Avoid alcohol, garlic, pepper, ginger and fish seafood as skin diseases, such as sores and ulcers; Avoid eating watermelon, greasy food, legumes and fruits for lubrication; Foods that are difficult to digest, such as beans, noodles, melons and fruits, should be avoided. Edema should avoid stagnant substances such as salt, Euryale ferox and lotus seeds.
4. Influence of season and climate on food choice: Different seasons and climate can have a series of different effects on human body. If the food is not chosen properly, it is easy to attract external sadness and visceral function. Materia Medica: "Don't eat more onions in winter" [13]. When it is dry in winter, you can make a fire to keep warm, and eat things that help fire and move heat by mistake, which makes people hurt body fluid and yin and dry fire; Synopsis of the Golden Chamber: "Don't eat liver in spring" [14]. Liver-qi prevails in spring, and the same spirit is in harmony with each other. Eating liver makes people's liver-qi flourish. Materia Medica is harmful: "If you don't eat ginger in autumn, you will have diarrhea" [13], and the waste liquid will hurt your mind; "Life-prolonging Record": "All kinds of creatures should avoid the moon or go against the five internal organs" [17], which shows this truth. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chinese medicine to pay attention to "self-care must be measured when the disease starts in the spring and autumn" [17].
5. The influence of food on post-illness conditioning: the disease is cured at the beginning, the remaining evil is not clear, and the healthy qi is not recovered. Improper diet can cause "resurgence" or other diseases. "No Food" says: "No new diseases will happen again ..." [16]; Sun Zhenren said that "if you don't eat raw fish when you are sick, you will get dysentery" [16]. Because of a certain disease, the body is in a state of weakness and invincible evil, and improper food taboos will lead to old diseases. For example, "Materia Medica is harmful": "Sheep liver, people with sores and chronic diseases should not eat it" [18].
