What are the taboos for cold patients?

The so-called taboo refers to the dietary taboo of patients when they are sick. As we all know, food, like medicine, is biased, such as glutinous rice, hard liquor, hot wine and so on. Therefore, there are dietary taboos, including the way and method of diet, the quality and quantity of food, the interaction between diets, the relationship between diet and physique or disease, and the incompatibility between diet and drugs. The dietary taboos of patients with diseases focus on the relationship between diet and disease, and the incompatibility between diet and drugs. What are the taboos for catching a cold? Let's talk about eating in moderation first. After a cold, people often lose their appetite, especially when they have a fever. Modern medicine believes that various digestive enzymes are destroyed or have low activity when fever occurs, resulting in patients not wanting to eat. If you simply eat more, you will often have indigestion such as abdominal distension, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to the body's concentration to resist external evils, and may also delay the recovery of colds and even aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is better for cold patients to eat less. How to control the degree of eating less should be based on ensuring the whole body energy supply. This is a problem with the quality of diet. People with colds advocate eating light and digestible foods, such as rice porridge and noodles, and avoiding fried and greasy foods. Some people even put forward "fasting therapy", that is, stop eating after a cold and only drink soup, which sometimes gets unexpected results. Of course, this method is not suitable for everyone, and patients with strong physique and mild cold can try it. Please don't forget to have enough energy reserves, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Finally, focus on what foods you should avoid when you have a cold. This aspect is related to taking medicine, that is, the taboo after taking medicine. On the other hand, we should pay attention to the relationship with the condition. In the early stage of a cold, if you feel that it is caused by cold, you are taking medicine to relieve the cold, and you should avoid eating cold and greasy; If it is the pathogenic wind and cold that I felt in the early stage, I should also avoid eating cold food. Once the evil heat persists, you will be thirsty, irritable and constipated. At this time, you need fruit help. You can often take pear juice, orange juice, watermelon, rice soup and mung bean soup. The above are mainly problems between some principles. Specifically, during a cold, avoid eating duck, pork, mutton, dog meat, turtles, clams, vinegar, persimmons and other foods. Because cold is an exogenous disease, the treatment should be mainly evacuation. However, duck meat is cold, rich in honey and stagnant, easy to slip the intestines and gather evil spirits, and pork is fat and greasy, which helps to dry dampness and phlegm, dispel wind and astringe dampness; Mutton is warm and helps heat, but it is often warm at the top and warm at the bottom, which has the disadvantage of converging evil; Dog meat is also warm and easy to help heat get angry, so it is taboo for heat syndrome; Soft-shelled turtle tastes sweet and greasy, which has the disadvantage of converging evil; Mussel, also known as mussel, is cold in nature and has the function of nourishing yin and cooling, and eating too much hinders the evacuation of evil spirits; Vinegar is sour and astringent, and it is easy to stagnate after eating; Persimmons are cold, astringent and stagnant, and eating more is easy to accumulate evil. Therefore, the above foods are all cold taboos. Eating by mistake or eating too much is often not conducive to the evacuation of exogenous pathogens, and sometimes it even aggravates the condition, which needs attention.
