One, identification of the dietary

The identification of the treatment is the guiding principle of Chinese medicine treatment of disease, that is, in the clinical treatment should be based on the condition of cold and heat, combined with the patient's constitution to the corresponding treatment. Only in the correct identification of the basis for the selection of food with meals, in order to achieve the desired results. Otherwise, not only in the disease is not beneficial, but will aggravate the condition.

The Chinese medicine believes that the clinical evidence is not outside the false evidence, solid evidence, cold evidence, hot evidence. Such as fatigue and shortness of breath, tired and lazy speech, tongue pale, pulse weakness for the false evidence; body strong, epigastric distension, constipation, tongue red, moss thick and pale, pulse solid and strong for the solid evidence; fear of cold like warmth, warmth of the hands and feet, pale tongue, moss white, pulse slow for the cold evidence; thirst, like cold, heat sweating, red tongue, moss yellow, pulse number for the hot evidence. According to the treatment principles of Chinese medicine, "the deficiency is supplemented by the deficiency", "the solid is diarrhea", "the heat is cold", and "the cold is hot", the deficiency patients should be treated with their yin and yang. Principle, deficiency patients with different deficiency of yin and yang qi and blood, were given to nourish the yin, yang, qi, blood therapeutic food treatment; solid patients should be based on the symptoms of the different real evidence, given a variety of different removing the real evil therapeutic food, such as clearing away heat and phlegm, blood circulation and blood stasis, and attacking and expelling the evil of the water, etc.; cold evidence of the disease, given to the nature of the warm therapeutic food treatment; hot evidence of the disease, given to the nature of the cool therapeutic food treatment.

Additionally, in the identification of diet, must also consider the individual's physical characteristics. For example, obese people more phlegmatic, it is appropriate to eat more light phlegmatic food; thin people more Yin Yin deficiency blood loss less fluid, it is appropriate to eat more nourishing food. Spring everything is moving, Yang Qi hair Yue, at this time to eat less fatty, spicy things, so as not to help the sun leakage, should eat more light vegetables, beans and soy products; summer heat and rain, it is appropriate to eat some sweet and cold, light, less oily foods, such as mung beans, watermelon, duck, etc.; autumn convergence of everything, dryness attacked, it is appropriate to eat some moisturizing nature of the food, such as dairy, eggs, etc.; winter is cold and freezing, everything is hidden, this time it is most suitable to eat some Warm and cold products, such as mutton, dog meat, dry ginger, etc..

Two, comprehensive diet

The so-called comprehensive diet, that is, in the dietary content as diverse as possible, pay attention to meat and vegetarian, main and side dishes, meals and snacks, such as the reasonable mix between. Modern nutritional science believes that the human body needs a variety of nutrients, including protein, fat, sugar, vitamins, minerals, water and fiber seven categories of substances. These categories of nutrients are present in different kinds of food, such as grain foods are mainly rich in sugar, vegetables, fruits contain a large number of vitamins, minerals and fiber, fish, meat, milk, eggs is a good source of protein. If the pursuit of vegetarianism, eating cereals, vegetables, food, abandon or limit the intake of animal food, long time so that the supply of protein is insufficient to meet the needs of the body's metabolism, can cause hypoproteinemia, but also affects the absorption of fat-soluble vitamin D, vitamin E and so on, causing a series of symptoms. And emulate the Western dietary structure model, a large intake of animal foods, is bound to make certain tumors such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, etc., the incidence of significantly higher, but also arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, diabetes, gout, and other diseases increased. Therefore, in order to maintain good health, it is necessary to adopt a balanced diet, a comprehensive diet.

Comprehensive diet is a basic view of modern buckwheat buckwheat, in fact, in traditional Chinese medicine therapeutics have similar understanding, such as China's medical text, "Huang Di Nei Jing", once clearly put forward the principle of dietary supplements: "five valleys for the support of five fruits to help the five animals for the benefit of five dishes for the full, the smell of the combined service to replenish the vital essence and benefit from the gas". Five grains, rice, wheat and other grains of food in general, five fruits, five dishes refer to the ancient five vegetables and fruits, five animals refers to meat food. Grain, meat, fruit, vegetables, the four major types of food, respectively, to provide the human body needs sugar, fat, protein, minerals, vitamins, fiber, etc., in order to meet the needs of the body's functional activities.

Three, dietary section

Dietary section refers to the daily diet should be timed, quantitative, not partial, not picky. There are two main meanings, one refers to the amount of food, one refers to the time of eating.

Quantitative Diet quantitative, the main emphasis on diet to have a limit, to keep not full and not hungry, especially not overeating. Otherwise, it will cause intestinal and gastrointestinal dysfunction and lead to diseases. As the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" said: "Diet since the double, the stomach and intestines are injured", "Thousand Golden Essentials" more clearly pointed out the harmful effects of dietary excess, "do not want to eat extremely hungry, food can not be oversaturated; do not want to drink extremely thirsty, drink can not be too much. Too much food and drink, the knot accumulation; thirst and drink too much, will become phlegm fetish". Modern medicine believes that the human body to drink food digestion, absorption and utilization, mainly by the normal function of the spleen and stomach, if the diet is too much, a short period of time, suddenly eat a large amount of food, is bound to aggravate the burden on the stomach and intestines, so that food can not be digested in a timely manner, and further impact on the absorption of nutrients and transmission, thus producing a series of diseases. On the contrary, eating too little, the spleen and stomach qi and blood lack of source, the human body lacks a material basis for life activities, will lead to malnutrition and the occurrence of the corresponding lesions over time. Therefore, the diet is moderate, the amount of food is an important condition to ensure the health of the body.

Timing The traditional method of eating in China is to have three meals a day, i.e., three meals in the morning, three meals in the middle and three meals in the evening. This has to do with the time that food and drink stay and pass in the stomach. Food enters the stomach, generally vegetarian 4 hours, meat about 6 hours, and then from the stomach through the duodenum into the small intestine, when the stomach dissected to a certain extent, it produces hunger, so you can eat again. Research has proved that the human body's digestive function is particularly active during the three hours of morning, noon and night. According to a relatively fixed time, regular eating, can ensure that digestion, absorption function rhythmic activity, spleen and stomach coordination, stomach and intestines, alternating, tension and relaxation, food can be digested, absorbed and utilized in an orderly manner. If the time is not divided, randomly eat, snacks, will make the stomach and intestines work for a long time, do not get a rest, so that the normal law of digestion is broken, the stomach and intestines without degree of deficiency, and in the long run, can occur in the spleen and stomach lesions.

In the three meals a day, traditionally advocate "breakfast good, lunch full, dinner less". This statement has a certain degree of scientific, and the human body day and night physiological changes. Because the human body of yin and yang qi and blood running, in the day and night there are different peaks and troughs. Breakfast time, after a night's rest, the morning yang activity began to flourish, the stomach in a relatively empty state, the need to supplement the nutrition to meet the needs of the morning's work; lunch time, in the middle of the day, and after half a day of labor, consume more, it is appropriate to eat more to make up for the loss of labor to meet the needs of the afternoon labor; after dinner, generally less activity, consumption is not much, it is desirable to eat less, or else it often for the The cause of disease. Of course, some of the rich night life, dinner is not only to be good, but also to add night snacks.
