Traditional Chinese medicine divides people's physique into coldness and heat, etc. Before dieting and health care, we must first select symptomatic tonics based on our own physique type. Then, how to distinguish whether food is cold or warm?
The difference between cold food and warm food
TCM diet focuses on the different tastes and effects of food, is to use the partial taste of food flavor to adjust the body's qi and blood yin and yang, righting the evil, with a view to "Yin Ping Yang secret, the spirit is rule." The sex of food refers to "four sex" , namely cold, hot, warm, cool four kinds of food. Coldness and coldness, warmness and heat, have certain homogeneity in their effects. Just a slight difference in the size of the effect. In addition, some foods have a mild food and are called flat. Foods that can reduce or eliminate heat syndromes are cold and cold; foods that can reduce and eliminate cold syndromes are warm. It is generally believed that most cold foods have heat, diarrhea, and detoxification, and are commonly used in heat syndromes. Most of the warm foods have the effects of warming, boosting yang and dispersing cold, and are often used for cold-induced diseases. Flat foods have the effect of strengthening the spleen, appetizing, and replenishing the body.
Tips to identify cold and hot foods
Under normal circumstances, can be from the food color, taste, growth environment, geographical location, growing season several aspects.
1. From the color
Green plants are close to the ground and absorb moisture from the ground. Therefore, they are naturally cold, such as green beans and green vegetables.
Red-colored plants, such as peppers, peppers, dates, pomegranates, etc., grow close to the ground, but the fruits can absorb more sunlight, so they are hot.
2. From the taste point of view
Sweet and spicy foods, because of the time it takes to receive sunlight, so hot, such as garlic, persimmon, pomegranate and so on. And those bitter, sour foods are mostly cold, such as bitter gourd, bitter herbs, taro, plum, papaya and so on.
3. From the growth environment
Aquatic plants are cold, such as oysters, kelp, seaweed and so on.
Some foods that grow on land, such as peanuts, potatoes, yams, ginger, etc., have long-term burial in the soil, the plants are resistant to dryness, and contain less moisture, so they are hot.
4. From the geographical location of growth
The amount of moisture absorbed by foods that face back to the north is very low, and sunlight is rarely seen. Therefore, it is cold in nature, such as mushrooms and fungus. Some foods grown in high altitude, or foods in the southeast direction, such as sunflowers, chestnuts, etc., are often hot because they receive enough light and heat.
5. Food cold and heat are also related to the growing season
Food grown in the winter, due to the heavy cold, it is cold, such as cabbage, mushrooms, white radish, winter melon and so on. Food grown during the summer receives more rain and cold, such as watermelon, cucumber, pear and grapefruit.
Reminder:
It is a good thing to carry out popularization of traditional Chinese medicine at the moment, but for the four sexes, it should not be over-emphasized, unless it is something that is hot and cold, and something that is cold and hot should occasionally eat without major problems. Of course, it is also for ordinary people. Extreme should pay more attention.
