Eat back the sickness you ate 张悟本 2320Words 2018-03-20
I’m going to ask everyone here again, do you know that food has cold and hot properties?What kind of food should you eat? The theoretical basis of Chinese medicine is yin and yang, with warmth as yang and cold as yin.There is also a yin and yang in any food we eat.Cold and cool foods have the functions of clearing heat, removing fire and detoxifying, while warm foods have the functions of invigorating the spleen, appetizing, tonifying the kidney, and tonifying. Warmth, coldness, and coolness are not only reflected in food classification, but also in the physical fitness of each of us, as well as in the temperature changes in the four seasons and the differences in warmth, coldness and coolness caused by different regions in the south and north.Then you must want to know:

How to choose food according to personal constitution? How to choose food according to climate change? How to choose food according to different regions? People with severe cold in the body and people with blood deficiency should choose warm foods to eat, such as beef and mutton, onions, leeks, ginger, etc. If the body is too hot, you can no longer eat a lot of warm food. If you eat too much, you will feel dry.Therefore, cold food should be selected appropriately to cool down and relieve internal heat. Also, eat more cold food in summer to clear away heat and relieve heat, and eat more warm food in winter to keep warm and dispel cold.If you eat dog meat in hot weather, you will immediately get sick due to heat, with a burning nose, sore throat, dry stool, chest tightness and upset;

Each region grows different foods.For example, tropical areas are rich in cold fruits, such as bananas, watermelons, sugar cane, etc.; while cold areas are rich in warm foods such as onions, green onions, and garlic.God has prepared food suitable for their physical needs for the people who grew up in the local area, which is the principle of "one side of the water and soil supports the other side". What I want to remind everyone is: Now everyone often eats out-of-season food.If we eat cold fruits, vegetables and beverages when it is cold, we are continuously cooling down the body, and the direct consequence is that people's overall physical fitness will decline in an all-round way, frequent diseases, and premature aging.

sweet and sour As the saying goes, "People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."Eating is the first need of people. It has been a good wish of the Chinese people for a long time. It is a very happy thing to have food to fill the stomach every day.Now hundreds of millions of people in our country have no worries about food and clothing, and live a prosperous life, and the remaining people have basically solved the problem of food and clothing, and are constantly improving their quality of life.But the next question is, can we cause disease due to poor eating habits?In fact, the dietary preferences you take for granted every day may be the enemy of your health.

In the previous chapter, we talked about the balance in the diet. In this lecture, we will continue to talk about the balance in the diet. What does "heng" stand for?The problem of the head is solved, and it is time to solve the problem of the mouth, which is the problem of balance, which is the five flavors that our Chinese medicine pays attention to. There is a saying in "Su Wen": "The five flavors are the root of the yin; the five palaces of yin are hurt by the five flavors." The blending and intake of the five flavors of "sour", "sweet", "bitter", "pungent" and "salty" can keep people healthy. To take the words of the common people, you must eat something of any flavor.

The theory of traditional Chinese medicine tells us: "acid nourishes the liver, bitter nourishes the heart, sweet nourishes the spleen, spicy nourishes the lung, and salty nourishes the kidney".But our reality is that we always eat one mouthful for three meals, and we will never change our mouth.It is thought that eating vinegar can soften blood vessels.Remember, vinegar cannot soften the blood vessels, it nourishes the liver and the blood nourished by the liver, and the blood vessels can only be softened when the blood is healed. Are we Shanxi people jealous?China is one of the major liver disease countries in the world, and Shanxi is one of the major liver disease provinces in China.Why?Acid nourishes the liver, but "too acid will damage the liver", what is balance, you have to balance.Don't take it too seriously, if you take one mouthful for three meals, then there is a problem.

Bitter nourishes the heart, do you see that Chinese medicine for reducing fire, such as coptis and bezoar, are all bitter?What do we reduce fire in food?Bitter gourd is to reduce heart fire!But now it has been passed around that bitter melon has become a cure for diabetes, and I don’t know who eats bitter melon to cure diabetes... Sweet nourishes the spleen, too sweet hurts the spleen.Look at the children nowadays, do they still drink plain water?Except drinks are drinks, so the spleen is ruined.Spleen and stomach incompatibility, either fat or thin.So some newspapers also reported that out of every three fat people in the world, the Chinese account for one.All of them violate the laws of nature, and they all live for their mouths... Have you noticed that there are more and more chubby puddles on the street, and they are getting fatter and fatter!How much hidden danger this brings to children's health!In addition to causing obesity, too sweet can also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, high blood pressure, kidney disease and so on.If we let it go on, what kind of health pressure will our country and our nation face when these children grow up to become the backbone of society in 20 or 30 years?

"Spicy nourishes the lungs, too spicy hurts the lungs". At the end of 2008, statistics from the Ministry of Health showed that the first of the three major diseases threatening the death of modern Chinese is "cancer".Which cancer ranks first among cancers?Lung cancer!Why?It is said that smoking can cause lung cancer and environmental pollution can cause lung cancer. I have come into contact with so many lung cancer patients. It can be said that few of them are current smokers, but almost none of them do not eat chili.Take a look on the street, how many non-spicy restaurants are there across the country from the south to the north?

A few days ago, an American newspaper published a report, reprinting a paper in the American Medical Weekly, which said that after several years of research, a team of experts in the United States finally found that smoking is not the cause of lung cancer, but eating chili. . I laughed when I read that report...why?Because our ancestors of Chinese medicine said thousands of years ago that eating chili can hurt the lungs, and it should not be too spicy... They just researched it. Last time when we chatted with many environmental experts in Beijing at an environmental protection meeting, these environmental experts said that after so many years of hard work, the environment is getting better and better... But more and more lung cancers are due to our environmental pollution. How wronged we are!

The incidence of lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer in southerners has increased by 167% compared with 10 years ago. Why?The truth is here!The southern tide, peppers are mainly produced in the south, what kind of climate can produce what kind of things.The south is hot and humid, so chili is moisture-proof, and it dissipates heat and moisture. So why were there not many diseases in the past, but more diseases now?Because it was a planned economy in the past, people could not eat chili several times a week, but now it is a market economy, people have to eat a lot in a day, the material is extremely rich, and the more they eat, the more they eat.The second question, now that everything is invigorated and opened up, many southerners have come to Beijing to do business. Beijing is an arid area, so if you still eat hot peppers, your lungs will be destroyed... So the Chinese have a saying, called one side Water and soil support one person, not one water and soil support the whole world!But now no one cares about it anymore, they all live for their mouths, and when they came to Beijing, they ate peppers like this, so his lungs were ruined... Excessively hot peppers hurt the lungs, and the incidence of lung cancer is now increasing!

Saying this seems a little unfair to chili, which is indeed a controversial food.The key is how we eat, where we eat, and how much we eat?This is back to our old topic, "balance", and nothing can be "excessive"! Another case, "nasopharyngeal carcinoma".There are many people suffering from rhinitis now. Here I would like to advise everyone that if the rhinitis persists for more than ten years, it will turn into nasopharyngeal carcinoma.When I got rhinitis, I was not in a hurry, but when I got nasopharyngeal cancer, I was afraid...
