Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, believed that the vitality of human body depends on the growth of spleen and stomach. If the physiological function of the spleen and stomach is normal, the vitality of the human body can be nourished and enriched, and the body will be healthy. Let me introduce the health food therapy for regulating the spleen and stomach, hoping it will be useful to you!
First, keep warm and live a regular life.
1. Pay attention to keep warm: especially the parts that are easy to catch cold, such as shoulders, neck and feet. Exercise moderately, and don't sweat excessively.
2. Law of life: Winter life should follow the principle of going to bed early and getting up late, and sleep time should be appropriately extended. Remember, don't stay up late and think too much, or you will damage your spleen.
Second, avoid being cold and full.
Try to avoid cold diet and seafood, which will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach. Try to avoid overeating and overeating; You can't eat some foods that are too warm and dry because of deficiency and cold, such as fried barbecue and ginseng. Because long-term use will cause "excessive fire", which is called virtual fire. It is suggested that on the basis of strengthening spleen and benefiting qi, some warming drugs should be added appropriately. Drugs and foods for strengthening the spleen are: Radix Codonopsis, Radix Pseudostellariae, Poria, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Lentils, Lotus Seeds, Jujube and Coicis Semen, which are not suitable for long-term consumption and are cold in nature. People who need to fry chestnuts and chestnuts are not suitable for eating.
Three or five kinds of food regulate the spleen and stomach.
1. Lily: A tonic with the effects of nourishing yin, moistening lung, clearing away heart fire, calming nerves, relieving fever and diuresis, relieving cough and asthma, regulating stomach and invigorating spleen. You can drink lily porridge and eat celery and stir-fried lily.
2. Lotus seeds: tonifying the kidney, strengthening the spleen, nourishing the heart, calming the nerves and resisting aging. Lotus seeds can be matched with Poria cocos, Chinese yam, glutinous rice, old rice, sugar, etc. Steamed into cakes, or lotus lily porridge can be drunk directly.
3. Yam: clear the heart and soothe the nerves, tonify the middle and replenish qi, help the five internal organs and strengthen the bones and muscles. Yam contains a lot of mucin, which can prevent fat deposition in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, maintain vascular elasticity and prevent arteriosclerosis. You can eat yam porridge, fried yam and steamed yam.
4. Mutton: strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, but try not to stir-fry the barbecue. Cooking mutton soup is a good choice.
5. Glutinous rice: It has the function of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi. Everyone knows that glutinous rice is not easy to digest, especially people with poor spleen and stomach, and it is easy to be pantothenic and heartbroken after eating. So how to eat can not only achieve the function of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, but also cause indigestion? I recommend you to eat mash or cook glutinous rice porridge. Glutinous rice porridge can increase rice or japonica rice and add a little glutinous rice.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in ancient China, said: "In spring, it is advisable to keep acid and sweeten it to nourish your temper." It means to eat less sour and eat more sweet in spring. Chinese medicine believes that when the liver qi is strong in spring, eating more sour food will make the liver qi excessive and damage the spleen and stomach, so eat less sour food. In spring, people have more outdoor activities than in winter, so they consume more energy and need more calories. But at this time, the spleen and stomach are weak and the digestive ability of gastrointestinal tract is poor, which is not suitable for eating greasy meat. Therefore, heat can be properly supplied by sweets. Jujube is such a good way to replenish spleen in spring.

Mainly used for spleen deficiency, abdominal cramps, chronic cough due to lung deficiency, cough due to lung dryness, constipation due to intestinal dryness, etc. Honey contains sugar, organic acids, vitamins, bacteriostats, enzymes, trace elements and other components.

Chinese medicine believes that honey is sweet, enters the spleen and stomach, and can replenish the middle energizer, replenish qi and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation. In spring, the climate is changeable, and the weather is hot and cold, which makes people easy to catch a cold. Because honey contains a variety of minerals and vitamins, and has the function of clearing away lung heat and detoxifying, it can enhance human immunity and is the most ideal tonic in spring. Therefore, in spring, if you can drink 1~2 spoonfuls of honey every day, take it with a cup of warm water or add milk, which will have a nourishing effect on your body.
