Second, nutritional diet and health features

Confucianism in China from the Shang Dynasty Yi Yin, Western Zhou food doctor and Confucius and Mencius advocate food since, successive generations of medical practitioners of food more inheritance and development. In the 5000 years of historical development, although it is inevitable that the influence of Buddhism, Taoism religious culture, but also gradually formed a number of styles and principles of Confucian diet, its characteristics can be roughly summarized as follows.

1, after the foundation, early food: the motherland medicine has always believed that the spleen and stomach is the foundation of the human body's afterlife, so advocate health, especially food at the latest must start from the young, middle-aged, after the dietary regimen in order to maintain the spleen and stomach as a major method of health and longevity. If the taste is sweet and thin enough to nourish the five organs, so advise people to eat as little as possible cold, hot, heavy slippery, thick and greasy diet, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach. If you can do long-term care in the gas, that is, the function of the spleen and stomach hair, and properly given food, you can get rid of disease and longevity.

2, the key to food nutrition diet: the key to dietary control is "simple, less, thrifty, careful, jealous". Dietary varieties should be appropriate and reasonable, the amount of food should not be too full, each meal into the meat should not be a variety of categories, pay close attention to good eating habits and hygiene, it is desirable to do the first hunger and food, food is not full, not full first stop; first thirsty and drink, drink but more, and caution against night drinking. In addition, too much partiality, omnivorous is not appropriate.

3, the first food therapy after the medicine bait: food therapy in the but disease treatment is conducive to long-term use. This is especially for the elderly, due to more than five weak organs, blood depletion, coupled with the spleen and stomach transport function decline, so the first dietary treatment is more likely to achieve the effect of drugs difficult to obtain, because most of the elderly suffer from varying degrees of chronic diseases or frailty, a difficult to adhere to long-term medication, some are not too accustomed to the third is prone to adverse reactions. Therefore, the first dietary therapy and after the necessary medication is more appropriate.

4, pay attention to the early food is often appropriate early, late food should not be late, night food against the principle of more damage. Food should be chewed and swallowed slowly, avoid swallowing; should be good to choose food and diet, on the corruption, greasy oil, meat, sticky hard hard to eliminate, dry, sizzling fried, rich and mellow taste of the diet should be less into; light food is the most suitable for people to light sweet and light food as well; food should be warm, but the warmth can not be too hot mouth to heat the lips, cold, not ice teeth as appropriate; hard or tough, half-cooked meat is more difficult to digest, the food should be cooked and soft, the old man is even more straight.

Three, the best time to take Chinese medicine

Choose the right time to take medication, you will get the best results, the Chinese medicine is more so.

The time to take Chinese medicine should be based on the condition and the nature of the drug. Most of the drugs should be taken after meals, especially tonic drugs (such as ginseng), stomachic drugs (such as tonic spleen and intestinal pills) and drugs with greater gastrointestinal irritation (such as Gan Gan disinfectant tablets); and anthelmintic drugs (such as Wu Mei) and laxative (such as the large Chengqi Tang), it is better to take on an empty stomach; tranquilizing class of traditional Chinese medicine should be taken before going to bed. However, no matter whether the medicine is taken before or after meals, there should be an interval of half an hour to one hour, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine. Generally speaking, Chinese medicines are usually taken orally three times a day. Those who are in moderate condition can take it orally twice a day; while those who are in more serious and acute condition can take it every 4 hours or so according to the instructions of the physician, without stopping at night, so as to make the medicinal power last, which is conducive to faster relief of symptoms and alleviation of the condition. Most of the Chinese medicines should be taken warm, sweating medicines should be taken hot to help the strength of the medicines, and heat-clearing medicines should be taken after cooling.

Four, new concepts of Chinese medicine health

1, tonic soup taste beautiful and strong: many fitness enthusiasts often take nutritional supplements as a way to promote muscle growth "recipe". These supplements are indeed easy to consume, fast-acting features, and there is a wealth of medical research data to support. However, it has been proven that traditional Chinese medicine has the same effect on strengthening the human body's muscle strength and speeding up recovery. Chinese people have always had the habit of "making soup" to regulate the body, and the commonly used supplements in the West certainly have their efficacy, but Chinese medicine dietary therapy also has a lot of unique advantages. In fact, long before the advent of Western sports research, athletes in China, Korea, and the former Soviet Union had been taking traditional medicines such as ginseng and deer antler blood to strengthen their bodies. Of course, we can't drink ginseng soup every day, but taken occasionally, it's not a bad tonic for strengthening the body.

2, ginseng is the king of health: the efficacy of ginseng has been recognized by the world, but from ancient times to the present has been circulating about the ginseng's miraculous effects of a lot of, some of which are not true. Ginseng is the earliest traditional Chinese medicine that has received attention from the West, and the research related to it has never stopped. Studies have found that ginseng not only increases antibodies and speeds up the recovery of rats suffering from cancer, but also strengthens the hematopoietic function of bone marrow. In Switzerland, 30 athletes were subjected to an 8-minute designated exercise and recorded. When the athletes took ginseng, the maximum heart rate dropped from 155 to 140 beats per minute; the time required for the heart rate to return to 100 beats after exercise was shortened from 5 to 3 minutes; and the concentration of blood lactic acid also dropped from 10.5 units to 6.2 units. Another study pointed out that ginseng not only strengthens cardiorespiratory function, speeds up reaction and delays the onset of fatigue, but also reduces the depletion of muscle glycogen. Weightlifters still have an increased heart rate after a workout until the next day, but once they take ginseng, their heart rate returns to normal on the 2nd day. Numerous experiments have found that ginseng can significantly enhance physical strength and accelerate recovery after exercise. For people who need to be fit, ginseng is a rare "panacea".

3, antler is the source of growth: in addition to ginseng, deer antler can be said to be another trump card of traditional Chinese medicine nutritional supplements. Deer antler growth rate is amazing, deer antler contains egg crunching hormone, estrone. These are growth-stimulating chemicals that are equally helpful to the body's growth and recovery. Studies in New Mexico, USA, have shown that taking deer antler can speed up recovery from injuries to muscles, bones and soft tissues. In addition, antlers may increase appetite, increase energy, improve mood and reduce pain from injuries. A Korean study found that antlers can boost immunity and delay the onset of fatigue.

4, muscle-building formula to surge testosterone: China and Italy have conducted studies on the effects of antler. The results show that the two *** with the role of hormone secretion will make a big change. One of the hormones for the LH luteinizing hormone increased by 10 times, and LH stimulates the secretion of androgens (i.e., testosterone) increased by nearly 1 times as much. This response can play a direct role in muscle growth in athletes. The increased secretion of testosterone hormone is accompanied by a similar increase in the secretion of adrenaline, thus pushing physical performance to its limits. Alternating between ginseng and antler-based tonic soups can be beneficial to your health, but do not consume them at the same time.

5, ten full tonic soup: ingredients for sliced ginseng, chuanxiong, astragalus, atractylodes macrocephala, poria, angelica, paeonia lactiflora, ripe earth, cinnamon sticks, licorice. Wash the above materials, add water, the same into the pot with a fierce fire to cook for 10 minutes, and then turn to the fire to boil 2 ~ 3 hours, and finally add a little oil and salt seasoning can be. Effects: Ginseng enhances physical strength, reduces fatigue, anti-aging and increases resistance; Astragalus strengthens the heart, dilates blood vessels, slows down aging, improves immunity and strengthens the liver; Atractylodes macrocephala enhances digestion; Poria Cocos strengthens digestion and soothes nerves; Angelica sinensis promotes blood circulation and increases metabolic rate; Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata replenishes iron; Paeonia lactiflora reduces pain in the body, hands and feet; Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong reduces muscle aches and joint pains, lowers blood pressure, expands blood circulation, and reduces blood pressure. Chuanxiong reduces muscle aches and pains, lowers blood pressure and expands blood vessels; Licorice strengthens the respiratory system and reduces muscle aches and pains; Gui Zhi reduces arthralgia and back pain.

In short, the nutritional and health care effects of Chinese medicine are increasingly being emphasized, and many new functions are constantly being researched and discovered, so it is believed that Chinese medicine will make more contributions to the health of mankind.
