Food therapy and drug therapy are very different. One of the most notable features of food therapy is that it can cure diseases and strengthen the body without diseases, and it basically has no toxic side effects on the human body. That is to say, the use of food (cereals, meat, fruit and vegetables) of the bias in the nature of the characteristics of taste, can be targeted for the treatment of certain diseases or adjuvant therapy, adjusting the balance of yin and yang so that it helps the treatment of disease and physical and mental recovery, but food is food, it contains a variety of nutrients essential to the human body, mainly to make up for the constant depletion of yin and yang, qi and blood. Therefore, even if the identification is inaccurate, food will not bring too much harm to the human body. As the famous doctor Zhang Xichun in the "medical ZhongZhongSenXiLu" said "food therapy patients serve not only healing and can be hungry not only hunger can be more suitable for the mouth with the right symptoms, the disease from the gradual healing, that is, not the right symptoms, but also no other problems. Therefore, food therapy to adapt to a wider range, mainly for sub-healthy people, followed by patients, as a complementary means of drugs or other therapeutic measures, with the daily dietary life naturally accepted.
Drug therapy mainly uses drugs, which are strong in nature and have been called "poisons" since ancient times, mainly for the treatment of illnesses, so drug therapy is more limited in its scope of application, mainly for patients, and is an important means of treating and preventing illnesses. If the random application of drugs, deficiency with laxatives, solid with tonic, or heat with warm drugs, cold with cold drugs, not only can not treat the disease, but will make the original condition worse, or even worse. Therefore, the use of drugs must be very cautious.
Food therapy in food, not only to achieve health care and strong body, prevention and treatment of disease, but also to give people sensory, spiritual enjoyment, so that people in the enjoyment of food, unknowingly achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. This natural treatment is very different from taking bitter drugs, it is not as easy as the drugs that people are averse to serving and difficult to adhere to, people are easy to accept, can be used in the long term, for the treatment of chronic disease conditioning is particularly appropriate.
In addition, therapeutic food in the form, the dose is not like medicine [NextPage] as strict regulations, can not be replaced at will, it can be based on the patient's tastes and habits of different cooking and processing, so that it tastes beautiful and colorful, the treatment of the nutritious and delicious.
Of course, because food therapy and drug therapy have their own long, so in the process of disease prevention and treatment of both are indispensable, should be used to their strengths, used in different diseases or different stages of the disease, food therapy and drug therapy with each other, each other, synergistic, mutually reinforcing. People and heaven and earth. People live in nature, and nature is closely related to the survival of mankind depends on nature to provide a variety of conditions, the human body and the external natural environment between the existence of both opposing and unified relationship. Therefore, the medicinal diet should follow the law of nature, adapt to the law of climate change, spring and summer should pay attention to the maintenance of yang, fall and winter should pay attention to the maintenance of yin in order to play a good role in health.
