ZhaiShuangQing Beijing university of Chinese medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        "Law in the Yin and Yang" is an important principle in the huangdi neijing, preserve one's health, think health should comply with the laws of growth and decline of the nature of Yin and Yang change, so to live a long time. The ancients often said: "love to eat three points." Eat what is what you think now is what the body needs, the reason for this is that the human body is an organic whole, is a self-organizing system, when the body lacks something, will automatically to the outside world, but whether it is sports, daily life should not too, and that diet is the same. The so-called health food, adjust the diet is in accordance with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, pay attention to avoid diet appropriate, absorb food reasonably, to improve health, longevity prolonging method of preserve one's health. Through reasonable diet regimen to moderately compensatory nutrition, in order to benefit essence, and through the diet, correcting bias of zang-fu organs of Yin and Yang, so as to improve the body health, resistance to decay prolong life. Huangdi neijing have more than one chapter involves the content of the diet regimen, about the basic principles of diet regimen can be summarized as "and five" and "drinking habits" two aspects.

        We would like to and five

        Five "refers to a diet of five kinds of taste, sour, bitter, sweet, bitter and salty. Five tastes can benefit viscera, is the material basis of human body life activity. Because its taste is different, is focused on the role of the zang-fu organs, such as the theory of plain question · to true to "the cloud:" mixed into the stomach, each to the xi, the acid into the liver, bitter to heart, into the spleen checkpoints, XinXian into the lungs, salty to kidney, over gas, often also materialized." Put forward under the condition of physical mixed effect on the five zang-organs have primary and secondary.

        Food nourishing effect to human body is an important guarantee of good health and eating arrangements reasonably, ensure the body has enough nutrition, can make sufficient qi and blood, liver function. If the mixed partial addicted can cause dysfunction of the zang-fu organs, corresponding appear a variety of pathological changes. "Plain question · angry tongtian theory" is discussed in detail the effects of the mixed partial addicted to bring the body: "is it taste too acid, move to tianjin, temper is unique, taste too salty, the big pride, short muscle, building a better mousetrap; suppression taste too (the original 'f'), heart filled with asthma, color black, kidney not scale; taste too (the original 'bitter'), temper is not simple, stomach gas is thick; taste too sheen, falling in chi, spirit is the epicenter. Hence we would like to and five, bone is reinforced soft, qi and blood flow, cou justified to close, so the backbone to jing, would like to, such as law, with the mandate of heaven." Here shows that eating tasty too, also is the main reason that damage the five viscera essence.

        Diet wounds, besides can directly damage the stomach to affect the five zang-organs, also can be mixed with the relationship between the five zang-organs, cause pathological changes in the related zang-fu organs, and further affect the other zang-fu organs. Such as: sour too, cause diseases with partial fill, lead to transport function of temper the blockage. Although salt into the kidney and nourishing kidney, salty too kidney damage. Kidney damage is a qi deficiency, so yue "backbone". Kidney water the spleen soil and spleen health loss, muscle due to spleen from pure water transport by the thin weak. Bitter taste in the heart, but its too much damage to building a better mousetrap, the heart is the main function of blood, even he will be affected, so it has a rapid heartbeat and boredom. Grape into the spleen, as well as tonifying spleen, too much can hurt the spleen, so can't transport by zhiai temper water subtle moisten the entire body. Spleen and stomach cohabitation coke, for lifting, transport cooperation, if can't elevator, temper is bound to accept the enemy's surrender of stomach qi have a negative impact, make stomach accept the enemy's surrender of hysteresis gas, polluted gas retention and expansion. Taste can spread into the lungs, taste too, a dissipative lung qi, second can make the abnormality of the lung and remedying, can take on liver wood, make the Yin of the liver blood damage, muscle loss and moisten the repugnant relaxation can reverse in mind they are again hit my mind.

        Huangdi neijing think mixed into the five zang-organs can not only keep the five internal organs, and there are five tastes too much can hurt the complementary theory five zang-organs, visible health food must be in accordance with the "and five" requirements, make all kinds of food reasonable collocation, valley meat fruit five reconcile, not balanced overeating that can "long on, such as law, has a mandate of heaven", so the plain question · dirty gas method theory of the "cloud:" poison attack, grain for raising, five fruit for help, five livestock for profit, the five dishes for the filling, the smell and clothing, to make up for the lean gas. The five people, has a bitter bitter salty, varies greatly, or spread or closed, or slow or quick, or strong or Ruan, four five zang-organs, disease over five appropriate also." Has various species and points out that the diet compositions containing nutrients each are not identical, only do reasonable collocation, make people can get different kinds of nutrition, in order to meet the needs of the life activities.

        In addition, we modern people in the daily diet to more fat GanHou flavour, rich is, it is associated with many diseases, such as diabetes, diabetes, also is the traditional Chinese medicine; Stroke, obesity, hemiplegia and some cardiovascular disease (CVD) and fat GanHou flavour with has a close relationship. "Plain question · angry tongtian theory" also pointed out the overeating fat GanHou taste bad results, the cloud: "change of sorghum, sufficient raw big ding, such as a virtual." Eating high fat diet for a long time, can make inside the heat, long can multiple furuncle, and get sick just like holding a empty of content as easy, thus highlights the dietary appropriate is delicate, unfavorable and overmuch fat GanHou flavour, is today we advocate "hun vegetable collocation, namely, eating meals, should have meat well, reasonable collocation. TCM holds that many meat nourish the viscera, benefit the human body, nourishing the skin, if partial addicted to rich men's taste, but more harm than good, easy to wet, ShengTan, heat, cause some disease. Fruits and vegetables have a hydrophobic, appetizers xiaoshi, clear gastrointestinal function, but a single vegetarian food is hard to provide all the nutrients necessary to human body, cannot meet the needs of the body physiological, so should be hun vegetable collocation, complementary advantages. Therefore, overall diet, proper nutrition, is the necessary condition to guarantee growth and longevity and health.

        Drinking habits

        The plain question · ancient naive theory of health law put forward in the "drinking habits," visible "drinking habits" for the importance of keeping in good health. Section, it is to point to have rhythm, in moderation. "Drinking habits" regimen including timing quantitative "" food and" cold fever temperature is suitable for "two aspects.

        Eating timing quantitative

        "Lushi chunqiu JiChunJi" cloud: "the food to the body will be no harm", namely the diet intake should be conducted regularly. Although no diet regularly in neijing clear records, but our traditional habits are three meals a day early, middle and late, and there has always been "appropriate is a good breakfast, lunch should be full, dinner should be less" say, namely breakfast quality, nutritional value, essence of some, facilitate the body to absorb, to provide sufficient energy; Lunch to eat satisfied, the so-called "full" in order to ensure a certain amount of diet, of course, should not be too full, too full, gastrointestinal burden is overweight, also affect the body's normal activity and health; After dinner to eat less, do not eat or sleep. If we can often eat on time, develop good eating habits, is healthy and vigorous digestion function, the body is of great benefit. The plain question · BiLun "cloud:" food from times, intestines and stomach is hurt." Quantitative, appropriate diet, diet is not too hungry or too full, especially not too full. Eating too full, it will lead to "feed, transverse ribs that solution, intestinal Pi for hemorrhoid" (" theory of plain question · angry tongtian "). Diet is too hungry, "will appear so not into the valley, half day, breath failure, is a day less gas" (" spirit pivot · five ").
