'Patients don't avoid mouths, doctors break their legs', what kind of mouths should you avoid when you get sick? The article sums it up for you
"Doctor, what should I avoid?"
After seeing the patient, one of the most concerned issues is not "taboo". "Jikou" is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, developed on the basis of "the same origin of medicine and food". But in modern medicine, the theories of "fat things" and "taboos" do not exist. How should we look at them?
01. What is "taboo" and "fat"?
To put it simply, taboo is to pay attention to dietary taboos during the treatment process, so as not to affect the treatment effect.
In traditional Chinese medicine, taboos are divided into narrow and broad senses. In a narrow sense, taboos refer to taboos during illness, that is, taboos in diet during illness. In a broad sense, taboos refer to not only taboos during illness, but also different factors such as age, physique, season, etc., so as to avoid eating foods that may lead to relapse of the disease, including commonly known as “fat things”.
According to the theory of etiology and pathogenesis of traditional Chinese medicine, the hair can be divided into seafood, fish, shrimp, crab, rooster, goose and other dynamic hair ; Glutinous rice and other substances that help moisture stagnation , and cold-accumulating substances such as winter melon, bitter melon, pear, and watermelon .
In addition, Chinese medicine advocates dietary taboos according to different conditions, including:
Dizziness, headache, stroke and other diseases of the liver-yang hyperactivity syndrome should not eat acrid and heat-boosting products, such as garlic, pepper, white wine, etc.;
Kidney disease patients should avoid foods with high salt and alkali content;
Cancer patients should determine dietary taboos according to different tumor types, disease conditions and treatment methods.
Different from traditional Chinese medicine theory, modern medical theory believes that "fat" refers more to the following four types:
First , foods that are prone to allergies , such as shrimp, crab, fish, eggs, milk, nuts, etc.
Second , animal foods containing hormones , even if they are cooked, still contain basic substances for synthesizing hormones, which may cause hyperactivity of human skills or metabolic disorders.
The third is foods with high purine content , such as animal offal, beans, seaweed, mushrooms, etc.
Fourth, highly irritating foods, such as peppers, garlic, ginger, Chinese prickly ash, alcohol, etc., can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, lead to telangiectasia, and aggravate the disease.
As the saying goes, "he's arsenic, my honey". "Favorites" and "diet" are relative and cannot be generalized . The needs vary from person to person and disease. There is no food that is absolutely inedible. There are only suitable and unsuitable foods. recovery of illness.
02. What diseases should you avoid? summed it up for you
As the saying goes, "Take medicine without abstinence, waste the doctor's hand, take medicine without abstinence, and break the doctor's leg.
