What are the suggestions for Taoist health preservation and TCM health preservation?

The theory of five elements for health preservation has a long history. The five elements are adjacent to each other and separated from each other. In traditional Chinese medicine, "five elements, five qi, five internal organs, five flavors and five colors" are emphasized. They are linked with each other, support each other and help each other. Whether the five elements are harmonious or not is directly related to the operation of the body. Any one that is strong or weak will have corresponding physical symptoms. Therefore, it is also necessary to understand the five elements of the body.

Today, Xiaobian will summarize the relationship between the five elements of health care and TCM health care together with the * * of a beat of Ling Meridian, and you can make corresponding adjustments according to your own situation!

wood

season of wood: spring

organs of wood: liver, gallbladder and eyes. When working too hard, the first thing to maintain is the liver. Because the liver is the organ that concentrates blood in the body, you have to work hard to store blood. The five elements were originally born in the direction of liver → heart → spleen → lung → kidney. The liver is overworked and weak, and the heart, spleen, lung and kidney are all affected, and the anger accumulated from overwork will also hurt the liver. Therefore, when you work overtime, you may wish to prepare some sour snacks, such as plum. If an organ of the wood system feels uncomfortable, you can eat more blue food belonging to the wood. They correspond to the liver and gallbladder of human body, and contain a lot of chlorophyll, vitamins and cellulose, which can help organs to excrete toxins from the body quickly.

Emotion of genus wood: anger

Taste of genus wood: sour taste

Food of genus wood: blue food

Recommended food: leafy vegetables such as cabbage, cabbage and spinach

Fire

Season of fire: summer.

fire organs: heart, small intestine and tongue

fire emotions: happiness

fire taste: bitterness

fire food: red food. The heart belongs to fire. At this time, it is easy to get angry, restless, and the heart beats faster, which increases the burden on the heart. Therefore, the most important thing in summer is to nourish the heart. In addition to eating nourishing food, according to the principle of mutual restraint of five elements, it is a far-sighted method to restrain heart fire and replenish kidney qi in winter. It is best to eat some red food to nourish the heart, which corresponds to the red blood and the heart responsible for blood circulation. People with poor complexion and cold limbs can eat more.

Recommended food: red beans, red dates, carrots, red peppers, tomatoes

The season of soil

Long summer. It refers to a period of time when dry heat passes in summer and it begins to rain.

earthy organs: spleen, stomach and mouth

earthy feelings: thinking

earthy taste: sweet taste

earthy food: yellow food. The long summer is rainy, which is the wettest period of the year. Too much moisture can hurt the spleen and stomach, which affects appetite, so we always have no appetite in midsummer. At this time, it is necessary to be "more sweet and bitter" in the diet, and eating more sweet food can supplement the temper; According to the five elements, the heart belonging to fire nourishes the spleen belonging to earth, and the result of eating more bitter and strong heart is also spleen strengthening.

There is something wrong with soil organs, which corresponds to yellow food. Spleen and stomach play the role of nutrient providers in the human body. When they are well conditioned, qi and blood will flourish.

Recommended food: orange, pumpkin, corn, soybean and sweet potato

Gold

Autumn is the golden season. The most important thing to maintain in autumn is the lungs, and the most common illness is cough, which is the spiritual influence of the five elements. Trees and plants begin to wither in autumn, which easily makes people feel sad and depressed.

golden organs: lung, large intestine and nose

golden emotions: sadness. Sorrow belongs to gold, which is the same as lung. Excessive sadness will cause lung injury.

taste of gold: pungent

food of gold: white food. Golden food mainly corresponds to the lungs, mostly white food. Their temperament is flat and cool, which can strengthen the lungs and refresh the voice, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, strengthen metabolism, and make the skin full of elasticity and luster.

Recommended food: pear, radish, yam, almond, lily and tremella

Water

Water season: winter

Water organs: kidney, bladder and ears. Eating too much will damage the kidneys, which is the organ we care about most. The chef's cooking is characterized by big oil and big salt, which makes the meal more fragrant. However, salty taste belongs to water and kidney, and moderate amount is beneficial, while excessive amount is bad. If the face is black at the same time, the kidney may have problems.

the emotion of water: fear

the taste of water: salty

the food of water: black food. These foods correspond to the kidneys and bones. Regular eating can help the metabolism closely related to the kidneys, bladder and bones to be normal, so that excess water will not accumulate in the body and cause edema on the body surface, which has the effect of strengthening bones.

Recommended foods: black beans, black sesame seeds, blueberries, mushrooms, black dates, longan and ebony
