The so-called appropriate means that the amount of food should be adapted to the individual and the disease.

Understanding food preferences is an important part of health care and disease prevention, and even serves as an auxiliary medical treatment. The opportunistic infections of AIDS patients are ever-changing and require more dietary restrictions. This is a major feature of traditional Chinese medicine dietary care. Traditional Chinese medicine's understanding of disease syndromes is divided into deficiency, excess, cold, and heat. When discussing how to adapt diet to the disease, in principle, use tonic for deficiency syndrome, eliminate for excess syndrome, warm for cold syndrome, and cool for hot syndrome.

Tonic foods: Food intake has a certain tonic effect on the human body, such as pork, beef, eggs, milk, black fish, and beans. If the deficiency is cold, mutton, dog meat, bird meat, and venison can be used; if the deficiency is hot (the middle burn is called internal heat due to yin deficiency), soft-shell turtle, lily, duck, and mussels can be used.

Decongestant: mainly refers to helping to eliminate unnecessary substances from the body. If food accumulation persists, hawthorn products can be used to eliminate food; external wind-cold can be relieved by decoction of ginger; edema can be eaten by winter melon or carp as a diuretic.

Warm stir-fried type: When the body feels cold, or is exposed to wind-cold externally, you can decoct ginger and green onion soup to induce sweating and relieve the cold. If you feel cold internally, you can eat ginger mutton soup or angelica stewed chicken soup. To nourish the body with warmth.

Cooling food: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when there is heat and fire in the body, it is appropriate to eat foods that can clear away heat and reduce fire, such as mung beans, watermelon, cucumber, bitter melon, spinach, and adzuki beans.
