With the development of modern society , People’s life rhythm has accelerated, work pressure has increased, and more and more people have begun to pay attention to their bodies. Whether it’s the “Bumpy Health” of young people or the middle-aged and elderly people who are obsessed with health products, health care is becoming a trend, affecting all aspects of people’s lives.
I heard that five grains nourish people, so I would eat them; I saw people eat American ginseng every night to help them sleep, and I followed the example… But after a long time, I found that I spent a lot of energy and financial resources to maintain health. , not only is the body not as strong as expected, but it gets worse as it grows. What the hell does this happen?
Cancer patients are afraid that the tumor will grow too fast
Excessive dietary intake leads to malnutrition
“Director Jin, why is there a flavor of ginseng in the Chinese medicine prescription you prescribed for me? I suffer from breast cancer, and I can’t eat such tonic herbs.” The patient, Ms. Fang, walked into the consultation room of Jin Li, the chief TCM physician of the Department of TCM, Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, hoping to revise the TCM prescription she had just prescribed.
It turns out that Ms. Fang has been suffering from breast cancer for two years. She is worried that too much nutrition will increase the growth of the tumor, so she avoids meaty meat in her daily diet, and only eats vegetables, fruits and white rice. Over time, Ms. Fang gradually lost weight, decreased physical strength, and occasionally had symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue.
“Malignant tumors will absorb a lot of nutrients and energy from the human body due to their rapid growth rate. If cancer patients do not supplement nutrition in time, it will lead to low immunity and complications, which is not conducive to the recovery of the body. Therefore, cancer patients cannot eat less or even no protamine foods because of the influence of traditional concepts. Ginseng has the effect of replenishing vitality, and only when the body is strong can they receive follow-up higher-intensity anti-cancer treatment.”
After listening to Jin Li’s advice, Ms. Fang realized that her usual “taboo” habits were all wrong. Afterwards, she said, she will eat a balanced diet to improve her immunity and fight cancer.
Health care needs to be based on your own physical constitution
Don’t blindly compare and follow trends
Jin Li introduced that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, health care emphasizes “diagnosis and treatment”, and needs to be based on Make appropriate adjustments to individual physical differences and climate change at four seasons. However, many people lack a correct understanding of how to maintain health, and are prone to the situation of “improper health care and injury to the body”.
“It’s early spring now, and many people who pay attention to health care will focus on ‘caring for the liver and gallbladder’, and the diet is very light. In fact, it is correct to adjust the form of health care according to the solar terms, but blindly pursuing vegetarian food, the lack of diet The structure is likely to cause an imbalance in the supply of nutrients to the human body.” Jin Li said that many of the amino acids necessary for the human body come from meat, and most of them also come from fatty meat that is hated by many people. However, these amino acids play a very important role in ensuring that the body’s immunity is maintained at a good level, as well as ensuring the normal endocrine metabolism. If it is absent for a long time, it will cause a series of health risks such as malnutrition, stones, calcium deficiency anemia and so on.
In addition, “following the trend blindly” is also one of the reasons why everyone steps into the misunderstanding of health care. The overwhelming health care advertisements on the Internet and the rumored health care methods around will make everyone “lost” in the dazzling array of health care products.
Jin Li suggested that health care people must “prescribe the right medicine” according to their physical condition. “If you don’t know your physical condition, you can go to the hospital to seek the diagnosis and treatment judgment of a professional Chinese physician. Don’t compare and follow the trend at will, to prevent ‘the more you raise, the more you will hurt your body’.”
Keep a good mood
Good living habits are the foundation of health care
For healthy people, the purpose of TCM health care is to “prevent disease”. “In Chinese medicine, the body gets sick because the ‘yin and yang’ are out of balance, resulting in excess yang or excess yin. That is, before the disease occurs, various methods are used to maintain the body and keep the ‘yin and yang’ in balance. It plays a role in preventing diseases.” Jin Li introduced.
But for people who are not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, how to maintain health? Jin Li made three suggestions:
Keep your mood happy and relax. Traditional Chinese medicine health care focuses on the unity of body and mind, but many people only pay attention to the nourishment of the body, but ignore the psychological adjustment. The influence of bad emotions can easily cause liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis in the human body, which will cause health hazards to the body over time;
Emphasizes the unity of man and nature. Health care should be adjusted according to seasonal changes, weather and temperature, and follow natural laws; Good living habits are the foundation of health.
