        Attention to diet supplements

        Nutrition and health care has a long history in our country, the imperial dynasties attached great importance to health and diet. The court set fresh medical institutions and offices can be traced back to Zhou Dai. According to the" Zhou Tian officer" records, was specifically set "food and medicine", responsible for the court of diet and health. Thereafter, dynasties have similar institutions and official establishment. The Chinese diet to the development of the Tang and Song Dynasties formed a peak, there are some diet designed and book," to Party", in a" party" and" wings of gold, Taiwan secret"," peaceful Holy Benevolent Prescriptions"," St. Francis." during the Tang and Song Dynasties such as the large-scale comprehensive books are included in many therapeutic aspects. But these mostly with herbal medicine or dietotherapy prescription form, simple form, therapeutic theory elaboration is scattered. In the Chinese diet history, relatively comprehensive ground discussed therapeutic theory and application, and Si Hui is the first person. He in the therapeutic application, food taste and attending, food hygiene, food taboo, food poisoning and rescue, cooking food and other aspects, from basic theory to the practical application are discussed, and compared to the previous generation has a lot of new development, its content has been involved in all major aspects of modern nutrition and food hygiene.

In addition to his practice, but also good at theory and experience, and pay attention to absorbing the former food, medicine, a combination of a long tradition, especially with inherited the Tang Dynasty famous doctor Sun Simiao about the academic theories and views. In" food was about to drink", and Si Hui emphasized diet in medicine, the role and status, discussed the sick to food, diet and medication opinion does not heal. Quoted Sun Simiao as saying: as a qualified doctor, should have a clear understanding of disease sources, to understand the patient's specific reasons, to take corresponding measures, treatment should first use of diet, diet did not achieve the result, then the medication. Food therapy for small toxicity, fewer side effects, therapeutic healing remedies, then, is expected to make the health of patients reach recovered without leaving the other hidden danger.

        From" food was about to drink" arrangement can also experience the authors of these views. The first volume of the core part of the " poly exotic dishes", are the records of Imperial Palace Square, the main health for Buzhong yiqi. The first of second volumes of" no soup fried", with a daily regimen of tonic drinks, the main health to Shengjinzhike, along a diaphragm.

But peace, Qi and blood nourishing Rong Sheng, the spirit of Shuang, will settle, all kinds of evil nature cannot invade the body, the change of human nature cannot be attacked, health can be assured. " The sage does not treat disease preventive treatment of disease", pay attention to diet to restore, is justified. Therefore, in the daily diet, should accomplish " be very fussy about food," which is when Si Hui wrote" food was about to drink" the purpose and the guiding ideology.
