How to eat after recuperation?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that drugs are poisons. If the effect of eliminating evil is fierce, the toxicity will be stronger, so after the treatment of diseases is completed, it is more necessary to rely on aftercare. The principle of nursed back to health pointed out in Huangdi Neijing is "reducing fever and supplementing meat", that is, nourishing grains, meat, fruits and vegetables to facilitate recovery.

Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated "going to work to cure incurable diseases". Prevention before illness means that before the disease occurs, we must first strengthen our physique, maintain healthy qi, do a good job of prevention, and avoid the invasion of the disease source in advance. This is also the concept of "prevention is better than cure" in preventive medicine. Since ancient times, the concept of health care of the Chinese nation has hardly left the category of Huangdi Neijing. Among them, "Five Flavors of Diet" mentioned: "Poison attacks evil, grains nourish, five fruits help, five livestock benefit, five vegetables supplement, and the smell is combined to replenish essence. These five factors, bitter, sweet, bitter and salty, have their own advantages, either scattered or collected, or slow or urgent, or firm or soft, and the five internal organs are suitable for getting sick at any time. In other words, when treating diseases, we should not only treat diseases, maintain health and recover, but also consider this dietary principle.

The treatment process should be harmonious and should be taken.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "prevention of disease change", that is, after the disease occurs, it should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible to prevent the development and change of the disease. In the process of treating diseases, it is still necessary to take preventive measures before the disease is transformed according to the occurrence, development law and transformation route of the disease to prevent deterioration. Even if you are unfortunately suffering from a serious illness, you should pay special attention to maintenance. You should not be overworked and need to recuperate your weak constitution. Especially after cure, even if the pathogenic factors are not removed, the disease may recur again. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken to properly adjust according to the condition to prevent recurrence.

The process of disease is a series of struggles between healthy qi and evil qi. As long as healthy growth, the disease will develop in a good direction and be cured. If you are not careful, the pathogenic factors will grow, and the disease will multiply to the bad side and aggravate the condition. This is also the key point that Chinese medicine will take "strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil" as the guiding principle when treating diseases.

Chen Wangquan, a member of the Chinese Medicine Committee of the Department of Health of the Executive Yuan, pointed out that in the traditional Chinese medicine concept, medicine is poison, as long as it is a medicine for treating diseases, it is collectively called poison, but the function of this poison is to eliminate evil, that is, to attack evil. Therefore, in the process of treating diseases, it is necessary to start diet therapy in order to recover.

Strictly speaking, rehabilitation itself is also a therapeutic effect. Huangdi Neijing once mentioned that "less heat will make the meat recover". Chen Wangquan explained that this means that people must always use cereals, meat, fruits and vegetables for nutrition when they recover from a serious illness. Once nursed back to health improperly, it is easy to make the disease relapse. However, the real spirit of nursed back to health lies in the need to communicate with Chinese medicine, and communicate in time through different constitutions.

Three principles of eating meat after recovery

Generally speaking, Huangdi Neijing has three principles, namely, "Eating meat leads to recovery":

1. Spleen deficiency is intolerant, so be less greasy: the spleen and stomach of recovered patients are mostly weak. If they eat greasy food immediately or reluctantly eat more, their spleen and stomach and vitality will be damaged, which is likely to further aggravate their illness. Therefore, they must be less greasy.

2. It is not appropriate to supplement the body: after a person is ill, his body is bound to be weak, his blood is insufficient, and his yang is weak. At this time, it is not appropriate to make up for it. If he makes up blindly, it will aggravate the imbalance of physical function and lead to the recurrence of the disease.

3. Close the door and guard against the enemy before it happens, so we must combine food and tonic: for exogenous fever, although the fever has gone down, the stomach qi has been damaged at this time. If you make it up too quickly, it will lead to stagnation of food, endless evil spirits and the phenomenon of "closing the door to defend the enemy", so you must make it up in time.

Chen Wangquan further explained that reasonable nutritional supplement after recovery is the main method to prevent food recurrence. First of all, the aftercare of the diet after illness should take into account the qi of the spleen and stomach, so it is necessary to awaken the stomach qi as the principle. In the early stage of the disease, we should not only pay attention to increasing nutrition and supplementing healthy qi, but also not eat at will. We must choose the right food according to the specific situation of the spleen and stomach and take it moderately.

Post-illness aftercare and dietary advice

In addition to medication, in terms of overall life activities, the quality of diet is the foundation of life. Not only should it be properly matched, but it should also be taken with five flavors of medicine and food. In other words, in addition to the collocation of grain, meat, fruit and vegetables, we should pay more attention to harmony. In addition, aftercare after illness must also cooperate with the main points of daily health preservation in order to be perfect. First of all, the room should be ventilated to keep the air fresh. Not only should the indoor temperature and humidity be appropriate, but also pay attention to whether the sunshine is sufficient. Furthermore, we should also try to reduce the mental burden of patients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most diseases stem from mental tension and stress. Therefore, to restore physical vitality, it is not enough to rely solely on drugs and doctors. We must also change our attitudes and habits and balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects before we can recover.

Chen Wangquan suggested that patients can do something pleasant. He particularly emphasized the concept of "calming his heart and moving his body". The combination of static and dynamic can focus on static, and under the guidance of doctors, do some physical activities within your power, but avoid fatigue. At the same time, we should pay attention to the supplement of nutrition during convalescence, but the nutrition should be reasonable, the diet should be regular, regular and quantitative, eat more digestible food, and establish the concept of "cultivating self-cultivation and curing all diseases".
