The Yin of milk is consuming our Yang

The 2019-01-16 xinhua

Recently, there is such a "warm tip" on the network: there is a "huangdi neijing home instructions" said, milk diet Yin cold, only suitable for children to drink, adult especially the elderly can not and do not need to drink milk. Because the child belongs to the body of pure Yang, can "change" get open, adult especially old person Yang qi is weak, drink milk "change" do not open...

Is this really a heartwarming reminder, or just another rumor to confuse the public?

The world's first official book on traditional Chinese medicine encourages the elderly to drink milk

About milk feeding is recorded in the past dynasties in the medical books are not unified, there are flat, the small cold lukewarm even said, but at least the first in the world and revised Chinese medicine book compendium of material medica first diet learn new monograph, thousand Jin Yifang endowment, diet and the first in the geriatric medicine monographs endowment in close book, it is said that milk is flat, the two books of the authors argue that the milk nutritional value is much higher than beef, especially suitable for old people often feed every day.

Ming dynasty doctor han MAO once said, beef qi effect can be comparable to the quality of astragalus, "yellow beef qi, and mian huang qi. Milk is more nutritious than beef.

The ancients did say that milk is derived from the blood of cows, but because of this, it is the "flesh and blood" of the product and can supplement the human body rather than "Yin cold" wounding Yang. Commenting on the efficacy of dairy products such as daigo, a crispy cheese, miao xiyong, a doctor in the Ming dynasty, said that these products are made from milk, so their efficacy is close to the essence of Yin blood. The person's five internal organs also belong to Yin, milk just can make up for it.

It is a misreading to interpret "pure Yang" as "Yang sheng" in children

The theory of "pure Yang" in children was first seen in the opening of "meridian pulse method in the fontanelle" : "every child under the age of three years old is called pure Yang and has not lost vitality. But here "chunyang" is not yangsheng but refers to the pure, pure and pure state. It was a mistake to interpret chun-yang tang. Wu tang wrote a piece to discuss the matter. Think children "pure Yang" it is to point to they do not have miscellaneous thoughts and sexual desire interference, the physiology characteristic of children should be classified as "zhi Yin zhi Yang".

The normal heart rate and body temperature of children are slightly faster/higher than that of adults, which is also the manifestation of "immature Yang and immature Yin", and has nothing to do with vigorous Yang. The child body is small, the time that blood circulates a week inside body is shorter than adult, the heart must quicken beat, ability satisfies circulatory need, the age is younger, every minute heartbeat is faster. The same is true for children who have a slightly higher body temperature than adults. Children are known to need more sleep than adults, and the younger they are, the more they sleep. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Yang vigorous sleep time is short. According to this reasoning, not to come to the conclusion that "the younger, the more negative"?

Lactose intolerance and milk allergy have nothing to do with so-called Yin han

From the perspective of modern western medicine, this kind of negative reaction caused by cold is called "lactose intolerance" or "milk allergy". Adding ginger and cinnamon to the milk will soften the chill.

In fact, these two reactions are not the same thing at all.

Lactose intolerance is caused by the lack of lactase in the digestive tract in some people, which prevents the complete breakdown of lactose in milk. To this kind of circumstance, the way that solves is to avoid hollow drink milk, tie-in solid food to eat together, a few drink many times or try to change to eat the dairy product such as yoghurt, cheese. The lactose in these products is broken down by lactic acid bacteria and contains more minerals than milk.

And milk allergy is to point to the protein allergy in milk, see more with the infant. In order to avoid infant milk allergy, first of all should consider breastfeeding, such as breastfeeding, should be under the guidance of the doctor to choose anti-allergic formula milk powder.

Next, to afore - mentioned two kinds of reaction, no matter what medicaments medicinal material is added in milk, of no help. It is a variety of fermented dairy products from ancient China that can alleviate both of these reactions.

Pastry, cheese, daigo, ice cream...

Those milk delicacies in the long history of China

Milk has been a delicacy since ancient times, followed by medicine.

The consumption of milk and its dairy products originated from the northern and northwestern minorities in ancient China, and is one of the important achievements of the diet culture communication between hu and han dynasties. As early as the eastern han dynasty, the han people in the mainland clearly recognized the nutritional value of milk and dairy products (such as cheese), and believed that eating cheese regularly could not only keep the body healthy, but also make the skin moist and have beauty effect. Such as east han scholar liu xi said: "cheese, ze also. Milk makes a man fat. Fermented dairy products were generally called casein in ancient times.

Crispy pastry is also called butter of today. In the wei, jin, southern and northern dynasties, both the hu ethnic group in the border areas and the han ethnic group in the mainland had mastered the method of making crispy pastry. Ghee is refined in the process of removing the milk protein in the raw material, so it is also one of the excellent alternative dairy products for people with lactose intolerance and milk allergy.

Daigo () is created from a cooked crisp, which has been recorded in han dynasty literature. For example, in shuo wen jie zi (), written by xu shen, the 14th volume carries the meaning of "" daigo" "(), the spirit of cheese.

"Milk rot" also known as "milk cake", is another kind of dairy products, the first in the sui people xie irony "food". "Milk curd" is equivalent to "milk curd", because milk contains a lot of protein, can be boiled like soybean milk, and then point brine pressed into the shape of tofu.

China is also home to the world's ice cream. I'm like ice cream. According to the textual research of scholars, the yuan dynasty court had a teacher by the emperor's reward "ice cream", this is the earliest ice cream. In 1295, before the Italian Marco Polo returned to China, Kublai Khan, the founder of the yuan dynasty, told him about his laws before he spread them abroad.

Milk has always been our nutritious food, not only high calcium content, and the proportion of calcium, phosphorus is suitable, plus vitamin D and other factors to promote calcium absorption, absorption efficiency is high, is the best source of high-quality calcium in the diet. "This is far better than meat," he said. Of course, any food should be consumed in moderation. According to the dietary guidelines for Chinese residents, "300 grams of milk per person per day" is equivalent to one cup of milk (200 to 250 ml) and one cup of yogurt (100 to 125 ml).
