Is eating chicken harmful to your health?

Eating chicken is not harmful to normal healthy people, but only beneficial.

Benefits of eating chicken: From a nutritional point of view, chicken is rich in high-quality protein (especially male chickens), and also contains important nutrients such as fat, calcium, phosphorus and iron. The nutritional value of chicken is obviously better than that of pork, beef, mutton and other meat foods. Therefore, people have always regarded chicken as a top-grade tonic after illness.

Hehe, don't think about eating chicken just because of bird flu. The SARS in 2003 left a deep impression on everyone, so now bird flu has attracted a lot of attention. They are all fatal, but fortunately, there is no human-to-human contagion at present. The SARS in those days was caused by bad luck, and now the bird flu is probably related to the captive conditions of meat birds. It is strange to be kept in a cage every day, with high density and high temperature, and to live in such an environment every day without getting sick. However, after SARS and the current avian influenza, many preventive measures have been established. This is true for diseases. Prevention is better than cure! For the aftercare of the body, it should be done first. Song Meiling has always attached great importance to the aftercare of diet, and her life span is as long as three centuries. Chicken is a common food, but there are some misunderstandings when we eat it. Let me talk about my understanding of eating chicken.

Many people feel sick and consume a lot of energy. They need to eat well and make up. They often stew chicken, but not everyone is suitable for eating chicken. Chicken is warm. "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica" said, "The chicken is strong and moves the wind, the outside is wood, and the inside is liver ... So it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and fire, and eating it will help the wind and fire." According to the "Diet Spectrum of Interesting Life", "Chicken food generates heat and wind, and liver qi and eye diseases ... are taboo." Therefore, people with liver fire and yin deficiency are not suitable for eating chicken.

Typical representatives are some hypertensive patients. Be careful when eating chicken. If you are yin deficiency and fire flourishing, you'd better not eat chicken. Some people have dizziness and headache, but if it is yin deficiency and fire flourishing, it will affect the curative effect of Gastrodia elata, and even aggravate the condition, which is not worth the candle! Especially cocks and capons should pay more attention.

Another representative is the patient with tremor of hands and feet. Chinese medicine belongs to wind-driven, including some modern cerebrovascular diseases and strokes. Eating chicken is likely to aggravate the illness. There is also postpartum, yin and blood are badly injured, and it is easy to move the wind. It is not advisable to eat too much chicken at this time.
