What is the relationship between yin-yang theory and the nature of food?

Viewing food from yin and yang attributes

1. 1.

The difference between negative food and positive food.

According to the difference of two relative forces acting on nature: contraction force and tension force, food can be roughly divided into "cathode food" and "anode food" According to the difference of two relative forces acting on nature: contraction force and tension force, food can be roughly divided into "cathode food" and "anode food"

In fact, every food contains yin and yang, and they always coexist. In fact, every food contains yin and yang, and they always coexist. In other words, nothing is purely neutral, and nothing is purely positive or negative. In other words, nothing is purely neutral, and nothing is purely positive or negative.

When "most" substances in a food are positive, it is classified as "positive food". After eating it, the effect obtained is naturally positive. When "most" substances in a food are positive, it is classified as "positive food". After eating it, the effect obtained is naturally positive. On the contrary, if most substances in food are negative, it belongs to "negative food", and after eating it, the effect obtained is also negative.

Growing in cold areas, with low potassium content and high sodium content, growing in cold areas, with low potassium content and high sodium content.

Growing in the tropics, high in potassium and low in sodium; Growing in the tropics, high in potassium and low in sodium.

Be proactive and move quickly.

Take buckwheat and watermelon as examples. Watermelon is a "negative food" because it is big and soft, rich in water and potassium, and grows in tropical areas. Take buckwheat and watermelon as examples. Watermelon is a "negative food" because it is big and soft, rich in water and potassium, and grows in tropical areas. Buckwheat belongs to "positive food", and its buckwheat belongs to "positive food", which

It is small in size, hard in texture, relatively dry, grows in colder regions, and contains less potassium. It is small in size, hard in texture, relatively dry, grows in colder regions, and contains less potassium.

If we often eat watermelon, we will have negative symptoms: we may start to have a runny nose, and we must often run to the toilet (increase urine output) in order to discharge excess mucus or water from our bodies. If we often eat watermelon, we will have negative symptoms: we may start to have a runny nose, and in order to get rid of excess mucus or water in our bodies, we must often run to the toilet (increase urine output). In addition, cheek redness may also be due to microvascular dilation. In addition, cheek redness may also be due to microvascular dilation.

On the contrary, if you continue to eat buckwheat every day, the symptoms will be just the opposite, and you will gradually have positive symptoms, feeling tight and unable to relax. On the contrary, if you continue to eat buckwheat every day, the symptoms will be just the opposite, and you will gradually have positive symptoms, feeling tight and unable to relax.

Of course, if you eat watermelon or buckwheat and eat other foods in a balanced way, their functions will inevitably be restricted. Of course, if you eat watermelon or buckwheat and eat other foods in a balanced way, their functions will inevitably be restricted. In a diverse and balanced diet, buckwheat and watermelon are absolutely beneficial to health, and the side effects will not be too strong. If you only eat a certain kind of food, side effects will be hard to avoid.

Partial eclipse (extreme yin or extreme yang) is not suitable for regular consumption because of its special nature.

Maybe you don't realize that in our daily diet, our bodies instinctively take in "negative food" and "positive food" in a balanced way, so as to maintain a balanced and healthy body.

When analyzing the diets of countries all over the world, we must match "negative" and "positive" foods in order to achieve a balanced diet. When analyzing the diets of countries all over the world, we must match "negative" and "positive" foods in order to achieve a balanced diet. Among them, the diet combination in some countries may be ideal, but in any case, it is absolutely impossible for any region (or individual) to eat only pure positive or pure negative food, and there is no adverse effect after eating it.

When designing diet content, we should also consider the nature and workload of individual work. When designing diet content, we should also consider the nature and workload of individual work.

For example, children are young and active, and don't need too much salt. Salt belongs to "extreme yang food". If the intake of salt is too much, it is easy to make their constitution too yin. On the contrary, they need good quality cathode food, which is expandable and helpful for children's growth. Therefore, they should choose foods rich in water, plant protein and polysaccharide, and then cooperate with the standard (low salt) diet.
