Here's "tao", it is art. Healthy long life, not only depends on whether understand knowledge, and more important is the way to implement can applied to daily life.

Dietary regimen strong body

Dietotherapy namely using food to affect the body all aspects of function, make its get health or more a way of preventing disease. Usually think, food is provided for human growth and health needed for the survival of various nutrients edible substances. That is to say, food the mainest is nutritional role. Actually otherwise, TCM have long realized that food can not only nutrition, and still can disease-treating illnesses. If necessary ZhangXiChun in the modern west part in medical records of all applications in food once pointed out: "patient foot, not only cure disease, and can cure hunger; not only cure hunger, more to be perfectly, use semeiologically, disease, i.e. not since gradually more symptomatic nor he suffers from". Visible, food itself has "raise" and "cure" two roles. Zhongyi is more attention in "raise" and food "governance" characteristics.

Dietotherapy is Chinese tradition, through the food to achieve recuperation body, strong body purpose. Dietotherapy culture has a long history, and dietotherapy is a long-term health behavior. They used to, now with diet recuperation body weight by dietotherapy, skin and hair care. Dietotherapy is a kind of art.

Can say, as medicine and food diet which cause diseases to get treatment, make human body back to health. Senior balanced nutrients can enhance cell nutrition metabolization function, make cells get the strong energy; Meanwhile can activate the cellular immune gene, making the cell immunity activity increase, immune cell number multiplied; Can make the immune cells has the ability to release a lot of specific immune globulin directly kill invade the cell of bacteria, viruses, and remove directly by cells to absorb physical and chemical substance; Strong immune cell can be directly engulfed the cells die and abandoned metabolites, help function of cells restore function, low in order to achieve the purpose of the treatment of disease.

Edible people-oriented

"Edible" is the original medical in one of the most valuable contribution to human. Corn grains beneficial and harmless in the body, thus sex "in". This is the original medical choice food the main standard. This standard is built on "people-oriented" basis. In this standard, food and drug didn't completely separate. Food from "medium" silvanus will slants cool (such as green beans) or partial temperature (for example douchi). If deviation "far", is "cold" and "hot". If more from "in" is "medicine", this is the origin of the LiangYao or hot medicine. "Cold heat, the ReZhe cold medicine, this is the" the treatment principles, got fever should use LiangYao, if hot not so serious, must not medicine, with sexual slants cool food (for example the foregoing mung bean) adjustment can; And vice versa. This is what we often say dietotherapy.

Using food diet is undertake recuperating, and medicinal food is will often classified as "medicine" category into delicious food. For example, both return ginger mutton soup medicine, but is delicacies. For the body, winter hands often virtual won the cold when is first selection. If is extremely cold or extremely ReZhe, is called "poison". For example, the average person BaDou as eating a grain will one have diarrhoea water, because it sex extremely hot, used to treat the extremely cold. So in huangdi neijing said cure is "gathers poison to attack", instead of saying "gathers medicine to attack". Therefore, whatever food, medicine and even poison is homologous, because same goal: is the return to normal state deviating from the norm.

Chinese medicine emphasizes "medication, because as dietotherapy" for drug, with food, has the following a few big outstanding advantages: one is the dietotherapy won't produce toxic and side effect and drug cure is not, and long-term use tend to produce all sorts of side effects and dependence on human, but might also affect some of the health; 2 it is these foods are our daily life, the ordinary things cheap, let us in our daily meal then may be to cure purpose; Three is food also has the advantages of moderate, let people in the process of enjoy cate dispel ailment.

Of course, dietotherapy do have cure diseases efficacy, and have the advantages of different from drug treatment, but does not equal dietotherapy can also cannot so instead, cure-all medications. If the disease is urgent heavy or application after disease does not reduce soreness, should please doctor guidance.
