-Theory of dirty qi in Huangdi Neijing
Look at your teeth. ....
Some people will ask, "You should say in this article that eating meat is right. What does it have to do with teeth? " Don't worry, think about it first. How much meat should a person eat for a meal? Interestingly, a teacher said, "When excavating dinosaur fossils, can you tell whether dinosaurs were carnivorous or herbivorous? -teeth, teeth are carnivorous dinosaurs; It is a herbivorous dinosaur with a mouthful of molars and big teeth. In fact, people are the same. " Let's count how many fangs we have. How many molars are there? You know how much meat and food you should eat.
In order to supplement calcium for the fetus, the mother will decalcify or even lose her teeth. Where do plants concentrate all their nutrients? Seeds, that is, the food we eat every meal. Seeds concentrate the essence of plants and have strong vitality, also called "vitality" or "yang". We eat staple food, not only all kinds of chemical nutrients, but also the yang of food. There is an old saying: "Those who eat food are wise, while those who eat meat are contemptible". China has been a country with eating plant seeds as its main dietary habit since ancient times. It is the best to nourish people's essence with abundant grains and full yang.
"Grains are nutrients", what is nutrients? Nourishing essence and essence, which is often said by Chinese medicine. Essence is a tangible substance, and our body, including tendons, veins, flesh, skin and bones, is our essence and the material basis of our life activities. In Huangdi Neijing, five grains are called "japonica rice, adzuki bean, wheat, soybean and millet". Now our grains refer to rice, wheat, soybeans, corn and potatoes. At the same time, grains other than rice and flour are customarily called miscellaneous grains, and miscellaneous grains also refer to grains in general.
In Neijing, eating whole grains is the first priority for us to nourish sperm, which naturally shows that eating whole grains is the core and foundation for us in China.
Jujube, plum, apricot, chestnut and peach are collectively called five fruits. Neijing holds that proper consumption of fruits is helpful to replenish body fluid lost in Shui Gu, nourish the heart and kidney, and moisten the lungs and intestines. Fruit has many benefits, but it is really not advisable for many people to eat only fruit instead of staple food in order to lose weight.
Chinese medicine believes that fruits can be roughly divided into three categories: cold, warm and sweet. People with weak constitution are suitable for eating warm and sweet fruits such as oranges, papaya, apples and peaches. People with hot constitution are suitable for eating cold and sweet fruits, such as pears and grapefruit. However, whether it is cold or warm, fruits are not easy to overdo and cannot replace staple food. It should be eaten after meals.
Five livestock refer to cattle, sheep, dogs, chickens and pigs. "Neijing" puts eating meat in the back, and "for profit" is like icing on the cake. Eat if you have it, and don't eat if you don't. It seems unnecessary to look at meat this way. Moreover, Neijing also pointed out many questions about eating meat everywhere, such as "Su Wen?" In Treatise on Febrile Diseases, it is forbidden to "have less fever, eat more meat, and eat more food." It is said that people with fever can't eat meat, and it is easy to get sick repeatedly.
"Su Wen? In the general theory of excess and deficiency, "if you attack by servants, you will be weak and faint, if you are full of gas, you will be fat and expensive, and you will be sick!" "Sorghum here means' highlight', which means fat cream and flour and rice (not sorghum rice in grain). Traditionally interpreted as "fat, sweet and thick". Give this passage a stern warning! Diabetes, stroke, hemiplegia, weakness, asthma and other diseases are all caused by obesity and wealth, all because of eating too much "cream."
"Five dishes" originally refers to "leek, leek, sunflower, onion and epimedium", and can also be regarded as "five dishes sparse". The meaning of vegetables includes "dredging" and "filling", especially dredging the stomach and blood vessels. Now everyone talks about eating green vegetables, which is not suitable for all regions. Eating green vegetables in winter in the north is the most inappropriate. Eating green vegetables in winter will send a wrong signal to the body, making it think that spring is coming, so the hidden vitality will grow ahead of time, but the external environment is still ice and snow, and it will get sick.
In addition, it conforms to the characteristics of "sealed storage" in winter and is suitable for eating root foods, such as carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Therefore, there is a proverb that "winter radish and summer ginger don't need a doctor's prescription".
Generally speaking, grains are the core and foundation; Five animals are beneficial, icing on the cake; Fruits and vegetables can help digest the accumulated food of grain livestock and replenish the lost body fluid. Nowadays, our eating habits seem to be completely contrary to the above order. Meat is sweet, there is no staple food, we only eat fruits and vegetables. These four sentences in Neijing may be the earliest "nutrition" in the world. If our younger generation deeply accepts this concept, we might as well practice it ourselves.
