Dietary health care in traditional Chinese medicine
Dietary nutrition in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a subject that uses food to keep fit, prevent and treat diseases, or promote body rehabilitation and delay aging under the guidance of TCM theory. It is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, just like drug therapy, acupuncture, massage, qigong and guidance. In a sense, Chinese dietetics plays a more important role in the fields of preventive medicine, rehabilitation medicine and geriatrics.
The research content of dietary nutrition in TCM mainly includes two parts: basic theory and clinical application. According to the relevant literature records of past dynasties and the analysis of clinical actual situation, it basically includes four aspects: diet preservation, diet therapy, diet control and diet avoidance. The former two refer to the scope of diet application in real life and clinic. The latter two refer to the ways and means of diet application in life and clinic. They are closely related and cannot be separated or isolated. So there is a view that the use of medicated diet with drugs, such as stewed chicken with astragalus, is? Traditional Chinese Medicine Dietetic Nutrition? In fact, this view is not comprehensive.
the history of medicinal diet in China has a long history, which is recorded in ancient books nearly 2 years ago. Mother adjusted the medicated diet, thinking deeply. ? ("Were"? "Biography of Lienv") It can be seen that there has been a historical fact about the application of medicated diet in the Han Dynasty. Through the research and improvement of past dynasties, it has developed into a practical nutrition discipline of China traditional medicine, or called? Chinese medicine nutrition? .
medicated diet, in short, is a delicious food made by combining medicinal materials with ingredients. In the diet of China people, many foods are both food and medicine, so the ancients had them for a long time? Medicine and food are homologous, and medicine and food are the same root? Said. Medicated diet has the functions of treating diseases, maintaining health and protecting health, and can also be used for beauty and weight loss, so that you can enjoy delicious food and get a healthier body.

People used to regulate their bodies through dietotherapy, but now people lose weight, skin care and hair care through dietotherapy. Dietotherapy is a healthy way to keep fit.
the way of keeping in good health by TCM diet
? Medicine and food are homologous? It is one of the most valuable contributions to mankind in Chinese original medicine. Whole grains are beneficial to human beings but not to the body, so why? Medium? . This is the most important standard for Chinese original medicine to choose food. This standard is based on? People-oriented? On the basis of, rather than based on experimental animals? Inspection? On the objective basis.
in this standard, there is no clear boundary between food and medicine. Leave slightly in the food? Medium? Sometimes it will be cold (such as mung beans) or warm (such as lobster sauce). If it deviates? Medium? When the angle is far away, that is? Cold? And? Hot? . If it's farther away? Medium? Is it? Medicine? Well, this is the origin of cold medicine or hot medicine.
dietotherapy, also known as dietotherapy, is a way to use food to affect all aspects of the body's functions, so that it can obtain health or cure diseases and prevent diseases. It is generally believed that food is an edible substance that provides the human body with various nutrients needed for kidney development and healthy survival. In other words, food is the most important thing is nutrition. In fact, Chinese medicine has long recognized that food can not only nourish, but also cure diseases. For example, Zhang Xichun, a modern medical scientist, once pointed out: Food? Sick, not only cure the disease, but also can't satisfy hunger? .
dietotherapy is a traditional habit of China people, and the purpose of conditioning and strengthening the body is achieved through diet. Dietotherapy culture has a long history, and dietotherapy is a long-term health preservation behavior. People used to regulate their bodies through dietotherapy, but now people lose weight, skin care and hair care through dietotherapy. Dietotherapy is a healthy way to keep fit.
dietary nutrition viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine
1. holistic nutrition viewpoint of correspondence between man and nature: Chinese medicine believes that man is between heaven and earth and lives in the natural environment as a part of nature. Therefore, man and nature have a corresponding relationship and follow the same law of movement and change. This close relationship between man and nature is reflected in all aspects of human life, including diet and nutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) often uses food to supplement deficiency, purge excess and adjust yin and yang according to the holistic nutrition concept of harmony between man and nature. At the same time, it is advocated that the diet content also changes due to the difference of time, place, person and illness. Eating for trial? And? Dialectical eating? .
2. the concept of nourishing yin and yang: according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the loss of health is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang, so the basic principle of treatment and diet is to nourish yin and yang. "Su Wen? The theory of bone emptiness says:? Adjust yin and yang, if it is insufficient, it will be supplemented, and if it is excessive, it will be diarrhea. ? Tonifying or purging are all adjusting yin and yang, and both are based on equality.
With regard to the diet, Chinese medicine is also based on the balance of Yin and Yang, which is beneficial to Yin and Pingyang, and vice versa. [For example] patients with phlegm-dampness should not eat greasy food; Wood fire people avoid spicy food; If the elderly have insufficient yin and excessive yang, they should avoid eating products that are supplemented by great heat; Developmental children should not take supplements without special reasons; In short, it is necessary to do something like "Su Wen? Ancient naivety says:? Those who know it, the law is in yin and yang, and it is in the number of tricks, and food and drink are restrained. ?
3. Nutrition concept of integration of food and medicine: 1. Homology of food and medicine: The history of traditional Chinese medicine shows that food and medicine come from the same source, both of which belong to natural products. Food and medicine have the same properties, such as shape, color, gas, taste and quality. Therefore, it is extremely common for Chinese medicine to use food or medicine alone, or to combine food and medicine for nutrition and health care, or to treat and recover. In Huangdi Neijing, half of them are food ingredients, which is also the earliest? Medicinal diet? Fang. There are 1/4 prescriptions for food ingredients in Fifty-two Diseases, and more than 1/2 prescriptions in Treatise on Febrile Diseases. In the above ancient recipes, it is extremely common to use foods such as cinnamon, ginger, jujube, pepper, fennel, lentils, coix seed, licorice, wine, vinegar and even animal glue. 2. The same principle of food and medicine: food and medicine are used together, except for the homology of food and medicine, mainly because the application of food and medicine is guided by the same theory, that is, food and medicine are the same principle. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence and development of body weakness or diseases means the mutual growth and decline of yin and yang, such as the excess and decline of yin and yang, etc.
4. Relationship between dietotherapy and drug therapy: food and medicine are homologous, and food and medicine are the same, and they are closely related. It is not difficult to find examples of the simultaneous use of food and medicine from numerous herbal and prescription classics. For example, black-bone chicken, mutton, donkey skin, pig skin, bird eggs, onion, ginger, jujube, etc. are used to tonify yin and yang qi and blood or regulate stomach qi, thus achieving the effect of preventing and treating diseases. From a large number of ancient recipes, recipes and tea spectrum, it is not difficult to find that there are also many drugs, such as Lycium barbarum, yam, Astragalus membranaceus, Poria, clove, cardamom, cinnamon and so on, in order to improve the efficacy of food health care and disease prevention.
5. the concept of combining comprehensive diet with discretionary diet: thousands of years' history of food culture shows that the Chinese nation's eating habits, on the whole, are based on vegetarianism, and strive for a comprehensive diet. Just like "Su Wen? The theory of the five permanent political leaders? Grain, meat, fruits and vegetables, eat and raise them all? And "Su Wen? What is said in the book "On the Law of the Hidden Device"? Five fruits for nourishment, five fruits for help, five livestock for benefit, five dishes for filling, and the smell is combined to supplement the essence? .
Let's give an example: We all know that women are prone to get sick if they are short of qi and blood, so many women try to replenish blood in their lives, and the most direct way to replenish blood is through food.
