Drink porridge. If you can drink any kind of porridge boiled in yam, poria cocos and coix seed every day, you can play the role of strengthening the spleen and stomach. Eat yam as much as possible if the spleen and stomach are not good: weak people will step up tonic in winter, but the key is the spleen and stomach. Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Only when the function of spleen and stomach is normal can tonic be effective.
Spleen deficiency is the most common in the crowd, manifested as eating less, abdominal distension, shortness of breath, laziness, loose stool, weakness of limbs, sallow complexion, pale tongue with white fur, thready pulse and so on. This kind of people can eat stewed meat such as yam, lentils, coix seed and atractylodes macrocephala, and they can also eat Shen Ling Baizhu Powder and Ginseng Jianpi Pills. Some people usually like to eat spicy and greasy food. After a long time, they turn to heat and make a fire, which is manifested by heartburn and frequent hunger. This is the performance of fire in the spleen and stomach. To clear fire, such people can drink water from bamboo leaves and Ophiopogon japonicus, or drink kudingcha, or eat a little yellow film, or eat more bitter gourd, cucumber and vegetables. The digestive ability of the elderly and children is relatively weak, and the stomach often accumulates food, which leads to anorexia, bloating and bad breath. This requires digestion and nourishing the stomach. The method is to eat appetizers such as dried tangerine peel, hawthorn and medicated leaven before meals, and then eat Xiangsha Yangwei pills after meals. If you are healthy, you can take Wei Ping Powder or Baohe Pill appropriately. You can usually soak in water with fried grains and malt.
Eating more dates and yams can replenish the spleen and stomach. The sweet food mentioned in Chinese medicine not only means that the food tastes a little sweet, but more importantly, it has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach. Among these foods, jujube and yam are the first. Eating yam or jujube often can improve human immunity. If jujube, yam, rice and millet are cooked together, it can not only prevent the recurrence of gastritis and gastric ulcer, but also reduce the chance of catching infectious diseases such as influenza, so it is very suitable for eating in spring and summer.
Besides jujube and yam, there are other sweets: rice, millet, glutinous rice, sorghum, cowpea, lentil, soybean, cabbage, spinach, carrot, taro, sweet potato, potato, pumpkin, auricularia auricula, mushroom, longan and chestnut. Everyone can choose to eat more according to their own tastes. In addition, we should eat less cold foods such as cucumber, wax gourd and mung bean sprouts, which will hinder the growth of yang in the body in spring, while eating more warm foods such as green onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and onions can play a role in dispelling yin and dispelling cold. Generally speaking, the diet in spring and summer should be warm and nutritious, based on the principle of strengthening the spleen and supporting yang and avoiding acidity, and its medicated diet should be based on the principle of flat tonic, so as not to blindly eat warm tonic, so as to avoid increasing the internal heat of the body and damaging the healthy qi of the human body.
