Some people should not eat "bitterness"
Summer "asking for trouble" is not suitable for everyone. It is precisely because of "bitterness into the heart" that we must eat "bitterness" according to the specific physical condition of the individual while eating "bitterness" to protect our health.
First, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are not suitable for eating "bitterness", because Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs transportation, likes dryness and hates dampness, and the spleen of Chinese medicine contains most functions of the digestive system of western medicine and is related to body fluid metabolism. And bitter and cold things are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, affecting the transport function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if the human spleen and stomach are deficient in cold, it is easy to have loose bowels, the limbs are thin, and the constitution is weak, then you can't eat a lot of bitter and cold food;
Second, children should keep a proper distance from suffering. Professor Zhu pointed out that some children are angry, but because of their immature constitution, it is not appropriate to overuse drugs. Generally reduce fire, drink ordinary mung bean soup, lily soup and chrysanthemum tea;
Third, for the elderly, Professor Zhu suggested that they should be treated differently according to specific conditions. That is to say, comprehensive treatment should be combined with the strength of heart fire and the quality of constitution.
What can you eat to reduce fire?
"getting angry" is caused by the disharmony of various organs of human body, which is called stress disease in medicine. Due to the unstable temperature in spring and the large temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn, the human body can't keep the balance and stability of metabolism, which leads to physiological dysfunction and "getting angry". Generally speaking, people have no obvious symptoms before getting angry, but after the onset, they are manifested as dry and painful throat, red and dry eyes, hot and burning nasal cavity, chapped lips, loss of appetite, dry stool, yellow urine, etc., while severe aphtha, sore throat and other symptoms will affect the normal diet of the human body, and some women who love beauty will also grow red and painful acne on their faces due to "internal heat", which will give life and pain.
Live a regular life and eat more fruits and vegetables.
To avoid "getting angry", first of all, we should keep a scientific life rule, work and rest on time, eat regularly and quantitatively, and don't give up a meal in time or overeat for a delicious meal. It is necessary to arrange various activities properly and moderately, ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late to avoid excessive fatigue and decreased resistance.
Secondly, eat more "fire-clearing" food. Fresh green leafy vegetables, cucumbers, oranges and green tea all have good fire-clearing effects, while carrots also have a good effect on supplementing the body's vitamin B and avoiding chapped lips. In addition, all kinds of refreshing granules can be taken orally, such as Xiasangju Granule and Jin Ju Granule, which are also very effective in clearing away fire.
During the period of "fire", it is not advisable to eat spicy food, drink, smoke and stay up late. You should pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene, gargle frequently, drink plenty of water, and take "fire-clearing" drugs under the guidance of a doctor. If the symptoms of "excessive internal heat" are obvious and have not improved for more than a week, you need to go to the hospital in time. Experts especially remind the public not to take some "fire-clearing" drugs at will, because it may be counterproductive to take too much.
Of course, it is also very important to adjust your emotions. Anxiety will "add fuel to the fire", and keeping a good mood will help to regulate the "internal heat" in the body.
In addition, if there is an oral ulcer, the condition is serious and does not improve for more than a week, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Because oral ulcer is not necessarily due to "great anger", it may be that the pathogen of oral ulcer is infected by virus, or it may be related to hormones and heredity. Oral ulcer is also considered as a sign of physical weakness. Therefore, when oral ulcer occurs, if patients feel tired at the same time, they should check whether their nutritional intake is balanced and whether they have enough rest, and supplement various vitamins and minerals in an appropriate amount.
I suggest you take some: Niuhuang Jiedu tablets. Three tablets at a time, three times a day.
It's better to drink more boiled water, because water can expel toxins from the body and prevent getting angry.
But don't eat: stimulating, spicy and irritated food.
Excessive internal heat is prone to symptoms such as sore tongue, dry stool, dizziness, fatigue and weakness, and detoxification is very important. In addition to maintaining a good mood, we should do the following things in life:
Drink more water: Water is the best detoxification carrier. Drinking more water can not only dilute the concentration of toxins in the body, reduce the harm of toxins, but also promote the metabolism of the kidneys and excrete more harmful substances.
Regular exercise: Do aerobic exercise by sweating at least1-2 times a week. The skin is the largest detoxification organ of the human body, and toxins that are difficult to remove from the viscera can be eliminated by sweating.
Eat more vegetables and fruits: The existence of toxins in the body makes the blood oxidized and acidic, while most vegetables and fruits are alkaline, which can neutralize excessive acidic substances in the body and dissolve toxins accumulated in cells. The cellulose rich in vegetables and fruits can also play the role of intestinal scavenger. Cellulose can absorb the metabolism of digestive tract and toxic substances from the outside world like a sponge, and excrete them in time, shortening the retention time of toxins in the intestine and reducing the reabsorption of toxins in the intestine.
It should be pointed out that vegetables that can be eaten raw should be eaten raw as much as possible, because raw vegetables can provide more cellulose. Spinach that comes into the market in spring has a strong detoxification effect. According to "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica", it can relieve fever and alcoholism, and it can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation and detoxify.
Commonly used Chinese patent medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials: Jiu Feng-Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet.
In addition, acupuncture, massage, cupping and massage in traditional Chinese medicine also have a good auxiliary function in treating excessive internal heat. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest in life, pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits containing vitamins in diet, drink more water and drink less sweet and sour drinks, eat less spicy fried food, and smoke and drink less. Excessive internal heat is also closely related to mental state, and maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude towards life is actually the best medicine for people to extinguish fire.
