On January 20th, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine held a themed press conference on promoting traditional Chinese medicine health in Beijing. Ouyang Bo, Deputy Director of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and Ethnic Medicine of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Peng, Deputy Director and Director of the Research Office of the Comprehensive Department of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tang Xudong, Director of the Spleen and Stomach Disease Research Institute of Xiyuan Hospital of China Junior High School Medical College, He Juan, Professor of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yang Zhimin, Vice President of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other experts attended the press conference, bringing "traditional Chinese medicine wisdom" in daily life and care to help everyone "celebrate the Spring Festival healthily".

Brocade Bag 1: "Four Moves" to protect the spleen and stomach; "Three Treasures of Health Preservation"; "Twenty five, grinding tofu; Twenty six, stewing mutton; Twenty seven, slaughtering rooster; Twenty eight, making noodles; Twenty nine, steaming Mantou; having a night out on the thirties, and turning around on the first day of the Lunar New Year!" The Spring Festival is always closely related to eating, and there are also many hidden health risks under the crisscross of wine and food, which need special attention. Tang Xudong, Director of the Spleen and Stomach Disease Research Institute at Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, shared several suggestions: Firstly, it is recommended to be 70-80% full. During the Spring Festival, chatting and eating at the same time can easily lead to overeating. It is important to reduce the intake of food. The old saying goes, 'When you eat 70-80% full, your digestive system will improve in old age.' That's the truth. Secondly, it is important to pay attention to a "reasonable diet". Try to use steaming, boiling, and stewing cooking methods as much as possible, avoid frying, stir frying, and high salt seasonings, and reduce the intake of oil and salt. For example, steamed fish and boiled shrimp have a delicious taste and are easy to digest. Fresh vegetables and fruits can increase dietary fiber intake and promote gastrointestinal motility. Make a good combination of staple food, meat, vegetables, and fruits, and have a reasonable diet. Thirdly, it is necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed. Drinking alcohol and overeating can easily trigger gastrointestinal diseases. It is recommended to replace alcohol with tea or choose low alcohol fruit wine, and avoid drinking high alcohol spirits as much as possible. Especially friends taking cephalosporin antibiotics should not drink alcohol during the medication period. Fourth, maintain regular meal times. The normal gastrointestinal tract has a digestive rhythm, including significant rhythmicity in the secretion of digestive fluids such as acids and enzymes. Staying up late and staying up late in the morning not only disrupts the original eating rhythm, but also affects the digestive function of the digestive tract, resulting in symptoms such as indigestion, stomach pain, bloating, belching, and heartburn. Therefore, maintaining a eating rhythm is very important. In addition, Tang Xudong also recommended the "Three Treasures of Health Preservation": the first treasure is to "eat raw radish regularly", whether it is green radish or red radish, eating it raw can help to eliminate qi and aid digestion. It can also be made into cold dishes, such as cold mixed radish shreds or sweet and sour radish shreds. Eating them frequently can relieve greasiness and promote digestion. There are also soup dishes, which are used to make soup. We recommend using Hawthorn Malt Digestive Soup, which includes 15g of stir fried hawthorn, 15g of stir fried malt, 10g of dried tangerine peel, 15g of yam, and 100g of lean pork or black chicken meat. Before stewing, soak the herbs for half an hour to reduce greasiness and promote digestion. The second treasure is' take a walk outdoors'. During the Spring Festival, it is easy to eat too much and move too little. Taking a walk outdoors and doing some simple stretching exercises can help smooth the flow of qi and blood, clear the meridians, and digest food. Especially for people who already have spleen deficiency and poor digestive function, they should pay more attention. The third treasure is to take a nap at the right time. Family and friends gathering together can consume a lot of physical and mental energy. Taking a break in the afternoon is very good for replenishing energy, relieving fatigue, and relieving drowsiness. Tip 2: Spring Health Preservation: Firstly, nourish the liver and generate more yang energy to reduce anxiety. Spring is the season of hair growth. How does traditional Chinese medicine view and regulate the generation of "yang energy" in oneself? Professor He Juan from Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine stated that traditional Chinese culture often emphasizes the concept of "harmony between man and nature", which is fully reflected in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon discusses the unity of heaven and man from the concept of time, because "the five organs should respond to the four seasons and each has its own reception", and also pays attention to the rise and fall of yin and yang qi in the human body. Therefore, in spring health preservation, the first step is to nourish the liver. On the one hand, liver qi is the main source of generation and development. If the generation and development of liver qi in spring are not favorable, it is easy to suffer from depression and anxiety problems commonly seen in spring. Spicy foods have a stimulating effect, and in spring, it is recommended to consume some spicy foods in moderation. If you have a hot constitution, you can eat some spicy and cool foods, such as green tea, mint tea, etc. If you have a yang deficiency constitution with cold hands and feet, you can eat foods such as chives and ginger to promote the generation of liver qi; On the other hand, it is necessary to actively adjust emotions, such as pasting curtains, door couplets, window decorations, and having a reunion dinner, all of which consciously create an uplifting, harmonious, and pleasant interpersonal relationship to promote the generation of liver qi in the human body. In addition, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon places great emphasis on the growth and collection laws of yin and yang qi in the human body. In "Su Wen: The Great Treatise on Regulating the Four Qi and the Spirit", it is mentioned that sleeping at night and waking up early can correspond to the qi of heaven and earth by regulating sleep. According to the theory of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, the distribution of yang energy in the human body is different during wakefulness and sleep. When awake, yang energy floats on the surface and above; During sleep, yang energy is collected inside, so regulating sleep can promote the generation of yang energy. At the same time, morning exercise also plays an important role in promoting the generation of yang energy, such as doing Eight Section Brocade, Tai Chi, walking, mountain climbing, etc. are all very good exercises. Tip 3: Staying up late will hurt your health. You should pay attention to health Tonic Diet to strengthen your physique. On the New Year's Eve, you should stay up late, visit relatives and friends, and get tired. In the special days of the Spring Festival, you may have changes in your work and rest time, such as staying up late, which may lead to health problems. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, how can it be regulated? Yang Zhimin, Vice President of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that traditional Chinese medicine believes that staying up late can easily lead to the liver not storing blood and the kidneys not storing essence, resulting in qi and blood imbalance, and even affecting the circulation of the spleen and stomach. The whole person is mentally deprived during the day, so staying up late is not recommended. If it is inevitable to stay up late, it is recommended to use some tea substitutes to assist in conditioning. Staying up late can easily lead to dry eyes and other problems. You can drink chrysanthemum mixed with goji berries soaked in water. Chrysanthemums have the effect of clearing the liver and improving vision, while goji berries have the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys and improving vision. After washing the two ingredients clean, soak them in a thermos for 3-5 minutes. You can drink them multiple times, including red and black goji berries. Some people tend to get angry after staying up late. It is recommended to use jasmine flowers with mint to make tea, which can regulate qi and calm the mind, promote harmony, and be brewed with boiling water. There are great differences between the north and the south of China. Food therapy and health care are very particular about "three factors". What kind of health care Tonic Diet can be recommended in different regions? "Tonic Diet is a combination of Chinese medicinal materials and food materials, which is configured according to people's physique and region to supplement human nutrition needs. It can also help the human body to replenish qi and blood, harmonize viscera, and also has the function of strengthening the healthy and eliminating evil, helping people to strengthen their physique and reduce the occurrence of diseases." Yang Zhimin reminded that the overall weather in the north is relatively cold, so Danggui lamb soup is the first choice. After adding Danggui to lamb, it achieves the effect of warming the stomach and nourishing the blood. After processing the lamb, add Angelica sinensis, tangerine peel, and ginger slices. Put them in a pot and boil with water for one to one and a half hours. Depending on personal taste, you can add pepper and salt for seasoning. After the lamb is tender, you can eat it together with the soup and meat. For those who want to be vegetarian, we recommend lily lotus seed Snow fungus soup. The method is to first treat the tremella, then wash and cut the lotus seeds, lily and snow pear, and then boil them in a pot for about 45 minutes. Lotus seeds have the function of tonifying the spleen, benefiting the kidneys, nourishing the mind, and calming the nerves. Tremella can nourish yin and dryness, while lily and snow pear can moisten lungs and stop coughing, so it is especially suitable for dry weather in the north. In the south, it is recommended to stew black chicken with flower gelatin, commonly known as fish belly. After processing the fish belly, put it in a pot with chicken, red dates, and ginger, add water and stew for about two hours, and then add seasoning. It is suitable for people with cold weather and weak constitution in the south to take. In addition, the humidity in the south is relatively heavy. We recommend Chenpi Hongdou Lianzi Yanshi Tang. Add lotus seeds, red beans, and Chenpi to a suitable amount of water, boil for an hour and a half, and the beans and lotus seeds will be fully cooked. It is suitable for friends in the south who want to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. (New Society)
