What are the dietary taboos of Xiaoxue solar terms?
1, avoid eating hot and dry food
It is cold in winter, and people like to eat warm food to resist the cold. For example, the northern part of China loves mutton in winter, and the southern part loves soft-shelled turtle in winter, both of which belong to warm food. However, not all hot foods are suitable for eating in the light snow season. Eating too much hot and dry things is easy to get angry and even cause hot diseases.
2, avoid fat and sweet taste
In winter, the digestive function of the human body is more active than that in spring, summer and autumn, and the secretion of gastric juice increases, the acidity increases and the food intake increases, which reflects the increase of the body's demand for heat energy in winter. When the body is in a cold environment, in order to maintain the body temperature balance, it is necessary to increase the metabolic rate in the body, that is, to increase the demand for food, especially to increase the intake of fatty food. Eating fat has a good cold and freezing resistance, but it should not be too much to prevent hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
Old people should not eat too much thick food, but they can increase the proportion of high-quality protein, such as eggs, tofu or various seafood, which is not only easy to digest, but also rich in essential amino acids, which has high nutritional value and can also enhance resistance.
First, diet and health
Proverbs say: it snows when it is light snow. Food supplement is particularly important in winter aftercare. In winter, the diet should not be nursed back to health by eating too much salty food, so as not to make the kidney water that is already on the high side more high, which will weaken the strength of the heart yang. Therefore, the principle of winter diet is to reduce salt and increase bitterness, resist kidney water, nourish the heart, so as to ensure the intersection of mind and body and maintain the balance of yin and yang in the human body. Generally speaking, bitter food has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing dryness, and is suitable for eating heat and dampness.
Chinese medicine experts said that the temperature is too low in winter. In order to keep a certain amount of calories, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein in order to generate more energy to meet the needs of the body, so it is necessary to eat more foods rich in sugar, fat, protein and vitamins. At the same time, the cold weather also affects the human urinary system, and micturition increases, and there are more inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium and calcium discharged with urine, so you should eat more foods containing inorganic salts such as potassium, sodium and calcium.
Among many foods, the most suitable diet for this season is:
1, fruit: banana (banana helps to increase the content of 5- hydroxytryptamine in human brain, while bean products contain phytoestrogens and trace element calcium, which helps to calm people's mood).
2. Drinks: ① Water chestnut soybean milk drink (5 twisted juice of water chestnut, boiled in 250g soybean milk, and added with appropriate amount of sugar); (2) Banana soybean milk drink (banana 1 piece peeled, mashed and added with a proper amount of cooked soybean milk, you can drink it. 1~ 2 times a day. ）。
3, dishes: ① celery fried mushrooms (400 grams of celery, 50 grams of water-borne mushrooms, both fried with seasoning); 2 Spinach, the study found that people with insufficient folic acid intake are prone to insomnia, forgetfulness, anxiety and other depressive symptoms. Spinach is rich in folic acid, so the intake of spinach should be increased appropriately in winter; In addition, asparagus, kiwi fruit, oysters, oranges, peas, soybeans and dark green vegetables also contain folic acid, which can help us resist depression; ④ Foods rich in B vitamins, such as coarse flour products, cereal grains, yeast, animal liver and fruits, are also of great benefit to improving bad mood and depression; ⑤ Bitter gourd, bitter and cold, can receive the effects of clearing away heat and improving eyesight, detoxifying and purging fire with meals; Lotus seed heart, sweet and cool, has the function of clearing away heat, clearing the head, eliminating annoyance and quenching thirst.
In addition, we should also eat more vegetables, appropriately increase food such as animal viscera, lean meat, fish and eggs, and also eat more food such as chicken, soft-shelled turtle, mutton, longan and fungus. These foods are not only delicious, but also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which can not only supplement the calories consumed due to the cold in winter, but also replenish qi, nourish blood and tonify deficiency, which is harmful to the body.
Second, daily life and health
1, dressing: The weather turns cold, and colds also enter the frequent season. Experts suggest that you should add clothes in time to keep warm. Many people think that the tighter clothes are wrapped, the warmer they are, but they are not. Too tight and thick clothes will not only limit physical activity, but also affect blood circulation. Therefore, it is enough to feel warm in winter. Generally speaking, it is advisable for the elderly to wear light and warm clothes, but young people should not wear too thick clothes, and infants should keep warm because of their low temperature regulation ability, but avoid covering them too thick and sweating.
2. Environment: In winter, people are often most concerned about the indoor temperature, but ignore the indoor ventilation and humidity. Room temperature is too high and humidity is too low, which will also cause physical discomfort and easily lead to diseases. In winter, in addition to sprinkling some water on the ground every day, or mopping the floor with a wet mop to increase humidity, you can also put a basin of water near the cooling facilities to let the water evaporate slowly to keep the indoor air moist. In addition, raising a few pots of flowers and plants in the room or buying a humidifier can also adjust the indoor humidity to make the room full of fresh air.
Third, emotional health Modern medical research has found that seasonal changes have a direct impact on patients with depression, because among the neurotransmitters related to depression, the 5- hydroxytryptamine system in the brain is closely related to seasonal changes. In order to avoid the unfavorable factors brought to friends with depression in winter, it is suggested that everyone change passivity into initiative, adjust their own mentality, remain optimistic, control anger by saving joy, often participate in some outdoor activities to strengthen their physique, spend more time in the sun to maintain the stability of 5- hydroxytryptamine in their brains, and listen to more music to make that wonderful melody add fun to your life. At the same time, take part in more recreational activities to arouse enthusiasm and yearning for life. Wu Shang, a medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Seeing flowers to relieve boredom and listening to music to relieve anxiety is better than taking medicine."
Fourth, exercise health
In winter, you should properly exercise your muscles and sweat, so as to strengthen your body. Exercise should be combined with movement, and running and doing exercises should only be slightly like sweating, which is contrary to the way of hiding yang in winter. Walk for more than half an hour every day and exercise your feet. Stick to rubbing the soles of feet in the morning and evening to promote blood circulation.
However, winter exercise should also be different according to individual physique and age. For example, people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should put an end to strenuous exercise such as playing ball games and climbing mountains; People suffering from respiratory diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, etc., should choose the morning and afternoon when there is enough sunshine to avoid being stimulated by cold and avoid inducing acute diseases. The elderly should pay more attention to keep warm and avoid getting up early to exercise, so as to prevent stroke caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain. In addition, try to give priority to moderate aerobic exercise.
As it snows and cools down, pay attention to the following details in the process of conditioning: 1. Because the kidney is involved in the human body in winter in nature, the kidney dominates the bone and produces marrow, which is easy to cause bone and joint diseases and cause pain. The key project of conditioning-fumigation, in order to prevent and treat joint diseases. 2, do fumigation project must wear more clothes, drink more than three cups of fruit drinks specially prepared in the store during the operation, pay attention to cold protection after fumigation, and should not go out immediately.
