        Went on a diet, pay attention to fill porridge

        TCM holds that, taste for the day after tomorrow. The so-called the day after tomorrow, is refers to the people of the whole life after birth process, including birth, long, strong, old, has several stages. The taste of the day after tomorrow is called this, its roots in taste life activities for the human body has an important role. Therefore, keeping in good health is regulate taste, the elderly are more shall regulate taste. CaoTingDong think, "stomach Yang weak and born diseases, spleen Yin foot but all evil interest". Taste balance of Yin and Yang is not born diseases, old people regulate taste diet should hand.

        Went on a diet, the first to control food intake, and better lose not much, not force. Every meal less food quantity, to play the normal digestive function of spleen and stomach, can make the subtle grain fully absorbed by human body. If you eat too much, taste it vulnerable to injury, can not work normally, it is bad for health. So the old people's three meals a day, should eat breakfast, lunch should eat satisfied, the dinner to eat less. Some old people have the habit of eating leftovers from the health perspective, the habits have no good, should change as soon as possible. Control appetite is a simple method, namely timing quantitative eat, don't wait until just can't stand the hungry eat. Also, also don't wait until thirst not line to drink water, these are not good for the body.

        Second, the diet to cold heat is appropriate, overheating too cold all harmful. The extent of the cold heat should be how to hold? Generally speaking, "not burning hot lips, cold not ice teeth. That is to say, the hot food more than lip can withstand the limit, cold food don't let the teeth feel cold. When appropriate cold food, when appropriate hot food, still should follow the natural elements and the continual change. Generally speaking, cold winter appropriate hot food, KuXia appropriate cold food, but because the stomach of joy that being warm aversion to cold, so the hot food less harm, harm people. So CaoTingDong experience is, diet would rather overheating and do not too cold, like melons and fruits such as cold food to eat of time all should be careful.

        CaoTingDong also attaches great importance to the role of porridge and health care. Eat congee good for man, especially important for old people. The old digest function and chewing function are weakened, and more suitable for porridge. CaoTingDong every morning will eat a bowl of porridge light on an empty stomach. Porridge sinks, feel pushed ChenZhiXin, nourish fast stomach, that is by no means clear expression can enjoy the language. He cooked porridge skills to also have quite, and points out that cooking porridge to pay attention to choose rice, choose water, grasps the temperature and feed wait, these are related to quality and efficacy of porridge. He even think, have porridge meal number can be neglected, along with the hungry eat with. Eat congee about also have many precautions, aftercare terms, porridge appropriate hollow food, or for dinner also can, but don't eat congee again after eat other food; Eat congee also cannot too full, feel the stomach bloating when actually stomach has hurt; Porridge should as far as possible the hot food, the best food to the sweat after degree, with the blood of the play a role.

        The house health the porridge party many, carried in all kinds of recipe books scattered among, people find use up is not very convenient. In view of this kind of phenomenon, CaoTingDong according to the records of recipe books, combined with his own experience, in the constant honestly said of the first record 100 porridge spectrum, including his own porridge spectrum of 14.

        He according to each kind of porridge aftercare or cure function, the 100 kind of porridge is divided into "expanded" : top grade smell light clear, sweet beauty including, a total of 36 species; In product taste change, a total of 27; Heavy things taste turbidity, a total of 37. Ephraim rice porridge, which euryale seed porridge, ChiXiaoDou porridge, lotus root porridge, almond porridge, walnut porridge, chrysanthemum porridge, medlar leaves porridge, mint congee for top grade porridge; Poria cocos porridge, big jujube congee, longan flesh congee, milk congee of porridge for products; R. porridge, leaf of porridge, sheep liver porridge, carp congee porridge for things, these are all modern old people about nourishing porridge, and can be used in the stage of elderly health.

        Proper motion, and with the guidance

        CaoTingDong think, exercise can make blood circulation, strong bones and muscles, and improves the digestive function. Old people carry momentum not too big, for example, can take a walk. After dinner food stays in the stomach, if can put on hold hundreds of steps, make the function of the gas lose scattered in the spleen, and it is helpful to digest. Walking time, to keep a leisure freely state of mind, walk off, stopped for a walk, if go too hard, not only food bad digestion, also easy to create the warm sluggish.

        In order to exercise the physique, some daily affairs by old people might as well try, to do some housework can, for example, wipe grey, wash the dishes, bubble tea, make the body often have little's, bones and muscles blood from stagnate, to "a rolling stone gathers no moss" the effect.

        CaoTingDong think older people sedentary, long lie is unavoidable, but must often guidance, physical exercise, make blood circulation. Like eight period of jin, hua tuo wuqinxi, tianzhu massage method can XuanTong blood, stretches the physique, no harm. Cao surname also founded a set of simple and feasible method of guidance, have merit, sit down ultimately, work, in the health care quite have the practical value.
