"The spleen and stomach of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are completely different concepts. In western medicine, the spleen and stomach refer to two independent digestive tract organs, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach is the 'acquired Foundation'." Zhang Zhe, deputy director of the spleen and stomach department of traditional Chinese medicine of China Japan Friendship Hospital, said that the function of the spleen and stomach has occupied "C" in all viscera functions for a long time. The ancient famous doctor lidongyuan said that "internal injury of the spleen and stomach leads to all kinds of diseases". Zhang Zhe introduced that in a narrow sense, spleen and stomach diseases mainly refer to gastrointestinal diseases; In a broad sense, spleen stomach disease involves all digestive system diseases. The spleen and stomach is the "land" of human health. From its beginning, it will also produce sarcoidosis, metabolic diseases, sub-health conditions, etc. Weakness of the spleen and stomach can have many manifestations, such as loss of appetite, fatigue and weakness, and may also be accompanied by acid reflux and abdominal distension in summer. In summer, many people choose cold drinks to cool down, which brings great pressure to the spleen and stomach. Zhang Zhe said that in summer, to recuperate the spleen and stomach, first of all, diet should avoid taking cold drinks directly. The iced beverage can be kept for more than ten minutes, and can be drunk after the temperature is slightly close to the room temperature. Drinking a lot of ice beer may induce a series of diseases, including acute pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc., so you should avoid eating such too cold food in summer. If you eat cool food, how to reduce the damage to the spleen and stomach? Zhang Zhe said that dietary supplements can be taken. For example, when eating seafood, you can add a little perilla or ginger tea to correct the cold evil. Once the cold evil invades for a long time, it will really damage the spleen and stomach, and it is difficult to adjust through dietary supplement. If drugs are needed, individualized treatment should be given according to the specific performance of patients. "On the other hand, in summer, when Yang Qi is exposed, the digestive function of the spleen and stomach becomes weak. Many people don't want to eat because of the weakness of the spleen and stomach. At this time, eating indigestible food will increase the burden and cause many diseases." Wang Yanmei, director of the first Department of anorectal Department of traditional Chinese medicine of China Japan Friendship Hospital, said that the diet in summer should be light. It is recommended to eat red beans, job's tears, lotus seeds, lotus roots, agaric, Gorgon fruit and other foods, which will not hurt the spleen and stomach, but also strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, which is conducive to the maintenance of the intestine. Wang Yanmei suggested that in summer, it is easy to get angry and angry. At this time, you should pay attention to managing your emotions. Traditional Chinese medicine says "five elements". Once the liver fire is prosperous, the spleen will become weak. For example, some people will not want to eat if they are angry. Therefore, paying attention to managing your emotions in summer is also a kind of protection for the digestive tract. (outlook new era)
