Pay attention to diet and prevent diseases.
Diet is related to human health and disease prevention, so we must pay special attention to it and adjust it every day. The principles of diet conditioning mainly include:
First, the diet should be diversified and reasonably matched with "five grains are nutrition, no fruit is helpful, five animals are beneficial, and five leaves are full". In other words, cereal is food, meat is non-staple food, vegetables are supplemented, and fruits are supplemented. The five flavors are sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. Five flavors are related to five internal organs. "Five flavors enter the stomach, and each tastes fun." "Bitter heart, bitter lung, sour liver, sweet spleen and salty kidney." Therefore, acid enters the liver first, bitter enters the heart first, sweet enters the spleen first, pungent enters the lung first, and alkali enters the kidney first. Only by harmonizing the five flavors can we nourish the five internal organs and promote good health.
Second, the diet should be moderate, and it is forbidden to overeat or even overeat. In short, the diet should be light and vegetarian, avoiding sorghum and thick taste, and the elderly should be warm and soft, avoiding sticking hard and cold. Eat and nourish yang in cold spring and cool summer, and eat and nourish yin in hot winter.
