In fact, is this the case? Or to listen to what the experts say. This year's fall tonic to run dry Wuhan City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine physician Yao Ying Ying said that this year's fall climate is more abnormal, as the saying goes, "white dew body does not show" but this year's white dew after the average temperature still reached 33 ℃, hot and muggy climate, and high humidity, so this fall tonic to "run dry, solid surface and benefit the gas" as the main. And fall tonic should be different from person to person, depending on the constitution.

(Chinese medicine and health care network) Autumn tonic taboos Last night at 11:41 pm Autumn. As the saying goes: "a summer without disease, three false", autumn, the climate, although the morning and evening cool, but there are still tigers wreak havoc, so it is very easy to burnout, fatigue, nerd, and so on. In folklore, there has been a "fall fill" custom. Everything can be said: "spring, summer long, autumn harvest, winter". According to Chinese medicine, "spring and summer Yang, fall and winter Yin" principle, this time to supplement is very necessary. But supplementation can not make up, should pay attention to the eight taboos: taboo no disease make up no disease make up, both increase expenditure, but also harmful to themselves. Such as taking too much cod liver oil can cause poisoning, long-term use of glucose will cause fat, blood cholesterol increase, easy to induce cardiovascular disease. Contraindications are not divided between real and virtual The principle of treatment in Chinese medicine is to make up for the false, not false patients should not use tonic medicine, false and Yin, Yang, gas deficiency, blood deficiency points, symptomatic medication in order to benefit the body, otherwise counterproductive, will harm the body. Although health care is not as strict as the difference between the treatment of disease, but at least should be divided into two categories of dietary objects cold and hot. Partial cold people fear cold like heat, hands and feet not warm, mouth pale salivation, loose stools, urine clear long, tongue pale pulse thin. Those who are hot are hot hands and feet, dry mouth, bitter mouth, bad breath, dry stools, short and red urine, red tongue, pulse. If you do not distinguish between hot and cold, it is easy to put medicinal food, easy to lead to "add oil to the fire". Contraindicated more good any tonic taking too much is harmful. The view that "more tonic medicine, disease treatment, no disease strong body" is not scientific. Such as overdose of ginseng and antler supplements, can cause abdominal distension, do not want to eat; overdose of vitamin C, can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Contraindicating any supplement must be meat Animal food is undoubtedly a good agent in the tonic, it not only has a high nutrition, and delicious flavor. But meat is not easy to digest and absorb, if long to eat more to eat, the gastrointestinal function has been reduced for the elderly, often overburdened, and meat in the digestion process of certain "by-products", such as excessive lipids, sugars and other substances, is often cardio-cerebral vascular disease, cancer and other common diseases in old age, the cause of frequent illnesses. Diet light is not not complementary, especially vegetables should not be ignored. Modern nutritional point of view, fresh fruits and vegetables contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, is an essential nutrient for the human body. Avoid medicine instead of food, medicine is not as good as food, heavy drugs light food is not scientific. Do not know that many foods are also therapeutic drugs. Such as eating more capers can treat high blood pressure; eat more radish can strengthen the stomach and eliminate food, smooth qi broad chest, phlegm cough; eat more yam can complement the spleen and stomach. Daily consumption of walnuts, peanuts, jujubes, lentils, lotus root, etc. are also good for tonic. Avoid heavy "in" light "out" With the improvement of people's standard of living, many families every day with meat and vegetables, meals big greasy, these food metabolism produces acidic toxic substances, need to be discharged in a timely manner, and the accelerated pace of life, and make many people defecate irregularly or even Constipation. Therefore, health experts in recent years put forward a concern about "negative nutrition" of the new concept of health care, that is, the importance of the body's waste discharge, reduce "intestinal toxicity" retention and absorption, and advocate in the complementary at the same time, but also should pay attention to defecation in a timely manner and fluent. Contraindicated constant "fill" unchanged Some people like to their own tastes, specializing in serving a certain kind of supplements, and then from many years of unchanged into the development of "partiality", "food", which is not conducive to health. Because drugs and food have both health care and therapeutic effects, but also has certain side effects, long service will affect the nutritional balance of the body. Especially the elderly, not only the function of the organs have different degrees of decline, need to comprehensively and systematically to regulate, and different seasons, the health care drugs and food also have different needs. Therefore, according to the different circumstances to be adjusted is very necessary, can not be constant complementary unchanged, a complementary in the end. Avoid the more expensive the more complementary "things are rare as expensive", those noble traditional foods such as bird's nest, shark fins and so on, in fact, no special therapeutic effect, and very common sweet potatoes and onions and other foods, but there is worth paying attention to the therapeutic value. In addition, all therapeutic food have a certain object and indications, it should be based on the need to determine the medicinal diet, "what is lacking, what to make up for", do not rely on the high and low to distinguish between high and low, especially the elderly, more practical and inexpensive for the principle of nourishment.
