      People who study Chinese medicine will encounter many interesting things, such as going to a buffet. Many friends like to queue up after me to choose food. They will take whatever I take. However, the essence of Chinese medicine is syndrome differentiation for treatment, and the food that is beneficial to me is not necessarily beneficial to them. As a result, the dinner became a public lecture, so eating is really hard. Simply put the principle of physical diet, read the article, let you speed up on the table of health.

First, we need to know what constitution is. The so-called constitution of traditional Chinese medicine refers to the integrated and relatively stable characteristics of the morphological structure, physiological function and psychological state formed on the basis of innate endowment and acquired endowment during the life process of human body. Is the human growth, development process formed in accordance with the natural, social environment of human personality characteristics. "Nine components of wang qi's traditional Chinese medicine constitution" -- including peaceful quality, qi deficiency quality, Yang deficiency quality, Yin deficiency quality, phlegm-dampness quality, damp-heat quality, blood stasis quality, qi stagnation quality, special essence and other nine basic types. The other eight are biased, which is often referred to as sub-health.

Just as people have different personalities, food also has different attributes, such as temperature and temperature. When our constitution is biased, we can use the bias of food to correct the bias. Western fast food mainly sells Fried food, so meals often combine cold drinks to combat the tepid nature of Fried food. In fact, these are the common people themselves summed up the wisdom of diet. So what are you made of? What should you eat?
