How to tonic in summer.

Winter tonic makes sense. However, this is not to say that all other seasons cannot be supplemented, on the contrary, as long as the symptoms require, summer tonic is also necessary, but it must be selected and applied according to the symptoms of weakness, and the selection principles are as follows:

Tonic is a method of taking tonic and tonic medicine with nourishing properties to nourish weakness. Commonly used nourishing foods are pork, beef, mutton, hens, geese, ducks, turtles, sea cucumbers, etc., and tonic drugs include rehmannia rehmannia, ejiao, turtle shell, deer horn gum and various tonic ointments, such as Shiquan tonic ointment, Dongtian Changchun ointment, etc.

Because these supplements and tonics will increase the burden on the digestive tract, and some are still warm, they are rarely taken in summer. However, they have a strong tonic effect and have a good therapeutic effect on people with more severe physical weakness, so they can be taken even in summer after severe illness, surgery or childbirth. Be careful, though

1) Moderate consumption, do not overdose; (2) It is not suitable to take it when you have poor appetite, thick tongue coating, or fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Qingtonic: It is a method of taking tonic and tonic medicine that has the effect of tonifying and clearing heat to replenish weakness. Commonly used tonic foods include lilies, mung beans, watermelons, etc.; Qingtonic drugs include American ginseng, sand ginseng, wheat winter, dendrobium (including maple bucket) and so on.

However, it should be noted that: the first is the body's yang deficiency, and people with symptoms of chills and cold limbs must eat less or no food; The second is that the consumption should be moderate, in the spring and summer too much cold medicine, will damage the body's yang energy.

Peace: It is a method of taking tonic and tonic medicine with a peaceful nature to replenish weakness. There are many tonics and tonics in this category, such as ginseng, codonopsis, prince ginseng, astragalus, lotus seeds, gourds, seeds, seeds, red beans, jujubes, bird's nests, toads, purple river cars, white fungus, pork liver, etc.

These tonics and tonics have neither the characteristics of cold and temperature, nor the deficiency of nourishing and injuring the stomach, if they can be taken correctly in summer, they can also achieve good results, but they are slightly inferior to winter tonic in terms of absorption and accumulation.

In order to achieve a good tonic effect, the tonic should choose suitable supplements and tonics for the type of weakness, such as qi deficiency should be replenished qi, yin deficiency should be replenished yin, heart deficiency should be replenished, spleen deficiency and food less should be supplemented, and so on. As for what kind of supplement is needed for one's physical signs, it should be carried out under the guidance of Chinese medicine.

The heat is unbearable, people consume more calories and nutrients, and if they are not replenished in time, metabolic disorders may occur. In particular, diabetic patients are likely to induce diabetic complications if they do not pay attention to supplementation.

Most of the water-soluble vitamin C, B1 and B2 are discharged with sweat due to sweating, so in addition to eating more rape, lettuce, cabbage, lettuce, fennel, celery, carrot, zucchini, winter melon, bitter gourd, mung bean sprouts, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, leeks, and non-spicy green peppers, you should also eat some cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes, apples, etc., to supplement the lost nutrients.

Hydrate in time Because blood sugar is too high, it is necessary to increase the urine output and excrete sugar from the body. At the same time, the excretion of water in the body with sweat can also cause dry mouth and other phenomena. For this reason, diabetics should develop the habit of drinking water without thirst.

However, it is important to rehydrate in small amounts and many times in hot weather to avoid diluting gastric juices.

Proper salt supplementation and lack of salt can lead to weakness, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, apathy and even coma. Diabetic patients should pay attention to appropriate salt supplementation, and should also consume at least 5 6 grams of salt per day.

Animal foodBecause the lysine excreted most in sweat is mostly found in animal food, diabetics must pay attention to eating some lean meat to supplement lysine.

Conscious calcium supplementation and calcium deficiency can be detrimental to blood sugar stabilization, especially in older people with diabetes. In order to exercise nerve conduction and muscle contraction, maintain capillary osmotic pressure, and maintain blood acid-base balance, it is necessary to consciously pay attention to calcium supplementation. In addition to daily dietary supplements such as milk, shrimp skin, kelp and a variety of fresh vegetables to supplement calcium, it is also necessary to eat some calcium supplements appropriately.

You can eat some leeks, which have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys! If conditions permit, you can use some deer antler velvet and seahorse to make tea or wine, such as using some licorice, wolfberry and other neutralizing herbs are the best! Middle-aged people should not eat a lot of celery and loofah, often eating loofah can lead to Weiyang, and the proportion of middle-aged and elderly people who often eat celery has a higher proportion of precursor glandular diseases!

Summer is dry and hot, and it is generally not recommended to take supplements, but you should eat more foods with sufficient water content that can clear away heat and fire, such as bitter gourd, cucumber, watermelon, tomato, and green vegetables.

What suffers can go to the fire; For example, bitter gourd.
