The experience of learning TCM nutrition or the application of dietary therapy in daily life

The relationship between TCM diet and nutrition and health:1. TCM diet and nutrition is a necessary condition for health;

2. TCM diet and nutrition is the material basis of health;

3. TCM diet and nutrition is the patron saint of health. Nutrition is to replenish essence, the nutrition needed for good health is sufficient, that is, to replenish essence, and we need energy and calories, that is, to benefit qi, and to improve immunity, energy is sufficient, the body's immunity is improved, and it is also the key to health.

The diet is quantitative, mainly emphasizing that the diet should be limited, and it is not full or hungry, especially not overeating. Otherwise, it will cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and lead to diseases. As the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says:

Eating and drinking is self-doubling, and the stomach and intestines are hurting", and "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" clearly pointed out the harm of excessive eating, "Don't eat if you don't want to be hungry, and don't eat too much; Do not drink excessively thirsty, and do not drink too much. If you eat too much, it will accumulate; If you drink too much, you will become phlegm." Modern medicine believes that the human body's digestion, absorption and utilization of food and drink mainly depend on the normal function of the spleen and stomach, if the diet is excessive, a large amount of food is suddenly eaten in a short period of time, which is bound to increase the burden of the gastrointestinal tract, so that the food can not be digested in time, and further affect the absorption and distribution of nutrients, resulting in a series of diseases.

On the contrary, if you eat too little, there will be a lack of metaplasia of spleen, stomach, qi and blood, and the human body will lack a material basis for life activities, which will lead to malnutrition and corresponding pathologies over time. Therefore, eating modestly and eating in moderation is an important condition to ensure good health.

The traditional eating method in China is three meals a day, that is, breakfast, lunch and dinner. This has to do with the time it takes for the food to stay and pass in the stomach. Food enters the stomach, generally vegetarian food for 4 hours, meat for about 6 hours, and then from the stomach through the duodenum into the small intestine, when the stomach is emptied to a certain extent, it will produce a feeling of hunger, so you can eat again.

Studies have proven that the body's digestive function is particularly active during the morning, noon and evening periods. According to a relatively fixed time, regular eating can ensure that the digestion and absorption functions are carried out rhythmically, the spleen and stomach are coordinated and cooperated, the stomach and intestines alternate between deficiency and reality, there is tension and relaxation, and food can be digested, absorbed and utilized in an orderly manner. If you eat at will regardless of the time and snacks do not leave your mouth, it will make the stomach and intestines work for a long time and not get rest, so that the normal law of gastrointestinal digestion will be broken, and the stomach and intestines will be empty and unreal, and spleen and stomach lesions may occur over time.

Reasonable combination of three meals.

In the three meals a day, it has always been advocated that "breakfast is good, lunch is full, and dinner is less". This statement has a certain degree of scientific validity and is related to the physiological changes of the human body day and night. Because the operation of yin and yang, qi and blood in the human body has a difference between prosperity and decline during day and night.

At breakfast time, after a night's rest, the yang energy activity began to be vigorous in the morning, and the stomach was in a relatively empty state, and it was urgent to supplement nutrition to meet the needs of the morning's work; Lunch time, in the middle of the day, and after half a day's work, the consumption is more, so it is advisable to eat more appropriately to make up for the loss and meet the needs of afternoon work; After dinner, there is generally less activity and less consumption, so it is advisable to eat less, otherwise it is often the cause of illness. Of course, for some people with a rich nightlife, dinner should not only be good, but also add a late snack.
