From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, "hair" refers to foods that are particularly easy to induce certain diseases (especially old diseases) or aggravate existing diseases. Different foods are different in performance (bias), although they all have their edibility and nutritional functions. However, if you don't understand the "hair" and don't pay attention to the "taboo" during the period of taking traditional Chinese medicine, improper diet may cause pathological changes, produce adverse reactions and side effects, thus aggravating the condition and causing serious consequences.

What exactly is "hair"?

Relevant scholars have conducted research and summarized the "hair" as follows:

1. Food with strong irritation

For example, spicy and irritating foods such as alcohol and peppers act on inflammatory infection lesions, which can easily cause inflammation spread and infection.

2. Some foods containing allergens of foreign proteins.

Some people are allergic to certain foods. For example, tofu milk sometimes causes asthma to recur. Marine fish, shrimps and crabs often cause intractable skin diseases such as urticaria, eczema, neurodermatitis, impetigo and psoriasis in people with skin allergies. Don't say that these foods can't be eaten after illness, and they should be avoided at ordinary times.

3. Foods containing certain hormones

Some foods contain certain hormones, which can easily promote certain hyperfunctions or metabolic disorders in the human body. For example, when glucocorticoids exceed the physiological dose, it will cause the recurrence of old diseases, induce the spread of infection, ulcer bleeding, seizures and other diseases. Therefore, this kind of food should not be practical!

Is there any scientific basis for hair?

If the definition of "hair" is the above three kinds of food, then it has scientific basis. However, what is the hair that is often said on the Internet?

The so-called "hair" mainly refers to some fishy, smelly and spicy foods, such as some fish, dried shrimps, crabs and shellfish and other seafood, such as mutton and dog meat, such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, tobacco and wine, such as goose, chicken head, duck head and pig head. We see that these foods cover almost all our daily food. If you eat this way, it is estimated that you can only drink water. Therefore, this statement has no scientific basis.

So far, there is no evidence that eating these foods will be harmful to the body. On the contrary, they are all essential sources of nutrition for the human body. If you can't eat them, you can't eat them, which will inevitably lead to malnutrition and affect your immunity. It's harmful to avoid eating at random.

Therefore, after illness, we must have a balanced and diversified diet, in moderation, be easy to digest in practice, eat fresh food, don't eat too much at a time, and be balanced in moderation. Of course, try to be light, not allergic food (this is determined according to individual circumstances).
