Nutritionists believe that people with the following symptoms are suitable to choose appropriate food supplements to prevent and treat diseases in spring. 1. Senile middle-aged and elderly people. 2. Thin people with various chronic diseases. Those who are often dizzy, pale and listless. 4. People who often catch colds repeatedly. 5. People who may have asthma attacks in spring. In all these cases, you can take advantage of this season and pay attention to your diet. Therapeutic foods include: Coix seed, red beans, soybean milk, oranges, apples, walnuts and so on. It can be eaten for a long time. If the elderly have internal heat due to yin deficiency, they can choose the method of clearing and replenishing. Such as lotus root, lily, turtle, snail, etc. This kind of food is cold, it has the function of clearing heat and removing fire after eating, which is helpful to improve bad physique, pay attention to the return of spring to the earth and revive everything. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, at this time, the yang of human body also conforms to nature and spreads upward and outward. Zhang Jingyue, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, said: "Spring is liver-oriented, summer is heart-oriented, long summer is spleen-oriented, autumn is lung-oriented, and winter is kidney-oriented." The physiological activities of the five internal organs of the human body must adapt to the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons in order to maintain a harmonious balance with the external environment. Nowadays, people's diet pursues nourishing health, and the food conservation methods corresponding to the four seasons have also attracted much attention. So what should I eat for spring tonic? How to eat nutrition reasonably and scientifically according to your own conditions and health status? The reporter interviewed Mr. Shang Qicheng, the founder of Chinese health dishes, an international health conditioner and the gold medal winner of the Sino-Japanese medicinal diet seminar. Mr. Shang said that according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, long summer, autumn and winter and five supplements. For example, everything recovers in spring, which is suitable for "ascending and supplementing"; The sky is hot in summer, which is suitable for "clearing up"; Dry weather in autumn (wet in summer) is suitable for "leveling"; It is cold in winter and suitable for "nourishing". In addition to the four seasons and five supplements, it also needs artificial eating, that is, people of different ages and different health conditions can choose their own dishes for conditioning and nourishing. In the selection of materials, five grains are the nourishment, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, five dishes are the stuffing, the smell is combined, the essence is supplemented, and the same taste is emphasized. When it comes to spring diet, we must first abide by the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" proposed in Huangdi Neijing, that is to say, in terms of diet, we should eat more foods that can warm and replenish yang. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica is quoted from local chronicles, claiming that "fresh and tender vegetables such as onion, garlic, leek, Polygonum hydropiper, Artemisia annua, mustard are mixed and eaten". In addition to Polygonum hydropiper, Artemisia annua and other wild vegetables are rarely eaten now, onions, garlic and leeks can be described as good medicines for tonifying yang. Secondly, Sun Simiao, the drug king of the Tang Dynasty, said, "Sour food should be preserved in spring to nourish the temper", which means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour food and more sweet food, which is good for the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the spring diet should be more sweet and less sour. Then there is the need to eat more vegetables in the spring diet. Mr. Shang also suggested that tonic is a tonic for warming, so we should choose products that nourish yin and clear heat, such as pheasant, wild vegetables, edible fungi, yam, ginkgo and venison. He listed several health-preserving dishes in China: Maren venison skewers, the main ingredients of which are Lutong chicken, Schisandra chinensis, Lycium barbarum, dodder and so on. Its nourishing function is to strengthen yang, replenish essence, nourish kidney and strengthen strength; Xuanju prawns, the main ingredients are fresh prawns, Xuanju (edible ants) and so on. Has the effects of expelling pathogenic wind and dampness, strengthening bones and muscles, and resisting hepatitis B; Young turtle cup, small turtle, Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and Lycium barbarum are the main materials, which can nourish yin and clear heat, nourish yuan and replenish liver and kidney. China has always had the same origin of medicine and food. Many dishes use traditional Chinese medicine to improve their nutritional or dietotherapy value. For example, China's first patented dish, Jin Sanyuan Roasted Pork Face, is said to have gone through 12 procedures, such as spray roasting, soaking and sauce making, and cooked with Chinese herbal medicines for 5 or 6 hours. Therefore, in addition to being delicious, it also has the effects of strengthening the brain, beautifying the face and resisting cancer. But isn't healthy food equal to medicated diet? Shang Qicheng believes that health food is different from medicated diet, which is made on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, cooking, medicated diet and modern nutrition, combined with traditional medicated diet, imperial diet and cooking technology. The selected Chinese medicines are mild in taste, more suitable for people and more popular. Chinese medicine experts pointed out that tonic should be "sweet" in spring, and aphrodisiac and warm tonic should not be used as tonic in winter, otherwise the human body will be forced by internal heat, resulting in drugs staying in the body and being difficult to excrete. Symptoms such as dizziness, irritability, chest tightness, dry mouth and tongue, and even nosebleeds. According to the principle of "sweetness" as an aphrodisiac. For those with qi deficiency, drugs for strengthening the body resistance and consolidating the foundation should be selected. In season, American ginseng can be used, 3g each time, sliced, soaked in boiling water, 3-4 times a day, and eaten with residue for the last time. Or Radix Codonopsis, Radix Pseudostellariae, Radix Astragali Preparata, fried atractylodes, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, etc. Used alone or in combination, decoct soup instead of tea. For patients with blood deficiency, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Fructus Lycii, Longan and Fructus Jujubae are used. Or a combination of them can be used to make soup instead of tea. Those who suffer from loss of body fluid, dry mouth and bitter taste can drink tea with one or more of Fengdou, Ophiopogon japonicus, pollen and Adenophora adenophora. Chinese patent medicine Sijunzi Pill or Buzhong Yiqi Pill for the treatment of qi deficiency, 6 grams twice a day, with boiled water. Blood deficiency is treated with Yangxue Guipi Pill, each time 1 capsule, twice a day, with boiled water. Wuji Baifeng Pill, 6 grams each time, twice a day, with boiled water.
