Recently, many friends have asked us about Chinese medicine, feeling that the things left behind by the old ancestors have been measured by time. This year, the state also officially listed TCM as a method nutritionist, and was very excited to hear this news at the time, the old ancestors’ stuff should be picked up or picked up. The essence of standardization, modernization and internationalization of Chinese medicine is to measure, interpret or transform Chinese medicine by the yardstick of Western medicine. No matter how late the study is, how modern technology develops, there is one that cannot be broken, and that is: no family and children are allowed to eat cold drinks.
Why do you advocate banning all cold things?
Chinese medicine believes that the reason why people are healthy is because of the normal warmth and transportation of Qi, the biggest danger of cold things is the loss of Yang Qi, causing the weakening of human body functions, the weakening of human internal organs will easily cause stagnation of Qi and blood stasis. “The stomach likes warmth but not cold”, “the kidneys also like warmth but not cold”, cold food is harmful to the stomach. The body’s qi and blood, grains and nutrients, all rely on the spleen and stomach to absorb and transport; rely on the kidneys to eliminate the body’s metabolic toxins, so it is very important to protect the spleen and stomach and kidneys. Especially when the weather is hot, the body’s heat is not easily distributed, the gastrointestinal temperature is also high. And if you then eat cold food, it is easy to make the stomach strongly stimulated, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other conditions.
Now why are tumors, cysts, strokes, cancer, menstrual cramps in women (including menstrual disorders like cold in the uterus causing infertility), low sexual function in men, and allergic diseases more and more young? All have the bad habit of craving cold things in it. Especially nowadays, people are already eating a lot of fatty things, and often refuse to exercise, including the spleen and stomach, the function of the viscera is seriously overused and low strain, wet physique is very obvious, wet sticky, which is a major factor affecting the operation of blood, plus the greed for cold things, really add insult to injury, how can the human body toss it? Not sick is strange.
From the perspective of Western medicine, the epidermis of the stomach has a layer of mucous membrane, which can secrete mucus to protect the stomach itself from being digested by the digestive juices. Cold drinks are generally 20 ℃ -30 ℃ lower than the stomach temperature, long-term excess cold food into the stomach, will make the gastric mucosa vasoconstriction, thinning of the mucosal layer, so that the protection of the stomach’s “natural barrier” – mucus layer This will lead to a decrease in the stomach’s ability to defend itself, an increase in the aggressiveness of gastric acid and pepsin, mucosal edema and erosion, and eventually chronic gastritis. Therefore, parents should control their children’s intake of cold drinks, in general, eat no more than 150 grams of cold drinks a day, preferably in multiple servings, do not eat too much at once.
Regardless of age and gender, it is important to eat less cold drinks, drinking out of the heart attack is also a common thing…
1. children should not eat cold drinks
Children are in the growth and development, the internal organs are not perfect. Children over-eating cold drinks, their gastrointestinal tract is often filled with drinks, will make the child’s gastrointestinal tract temperature suddenly drop, local blood circulation slows down, blood flow is reduced, thus affecting the absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. Excessive consumption of cold drinks will also reduce the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin, small intestine amylase and lipase, which will affect the digestion of food by the stomach and intestines. It is clear that if the child eats cold drinks, not only can not meet the child’s nutritional needs, over time, can also lead to children’s digestive disorders and nutritional deficiencies.
2. women should not eat cold drinks
For women at work, basically in the indoor air-conditioned room environment, if you eat a lot of cold things (such as cold drinks or ice cream), while blowing cold air conditioning, will accelerate the invasion of cold from the outside to the body, resulting in the body inside and outside are cold, Yang Qi more easily damaged. For other women, blindly eating cold drinks is very inappropriate for the body, especially in the period to eat cold drinks, may also induce uterine pathology.
3. men also should not eat more cold drinks
Cold drinks, the general public will think of dessert, so men eating cold drinks seems to have no special taboos, but booze beer this common behavior is easy to ignore: beer is generally cold ah. There are news reports, the man ate cold drinks as a meal, a few days later unfortunately died! Of course, although there is no direct cause-and-effect relationship, but always a fuse to remind us not to eat too much cold drinks it.
4. The elderly should not eat cold drinks
The elderly gastrointestinal mucosa has degenerative changes, gastric acid and the secretion of various digestive enzymes gradually reduced, so that the digestive function declined, such as often eat cold food and cold dishes, can cause vasoconstriction of the gastric mucosa, so that the secretion of gastric juice further reduced, will lead to a decrease in appetite and indigestion. At the same time, such as eating more cold food, but also dilute gastric juice, reduce the bactericidal ability of gastric acid, destroy the natural defense of the gastrointestinal, when there are viruses and bacteria into the digestive tract, it is easy to cause enteritis, dysentery, typhoid and other gastrointestinal diseases. In addition, some elderly people suffer from hypertension, pulmonary heart disease, coronary heart disease, etc. If you eat too much cold food or cold dishes, it will soon cause coronary artery spasm, so that the original symptoms of cardiac insufficiency aggravate, and even induce heart failure. Therefore, the elderly should not eat cold food and cold dishes.
Cold words can not hear, cold food can not eat cold food; drink boiling water, eat hot food, not diarrhea is not victimized, spring has arrived, the temperature has risen, but also to the friends around a wakeup call, regardless of men and women, young and old to touch this thing less!
