Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "medicine and food are of the same origin", as early as in the "Qianjin Prescription", there is a "food therapy" - "food can drive away evil and calm the viscera, please the mind and refresh the mind to enrich the blood and qi", food therapy is under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the medicine and food are compatible, so as to achieve the purpose of health preservation and treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal physiological function of the human body is to achieve the relative balance of yin and yang through the mutual opposition, mutual growth and elimination of yin and yang within the human body, mutual transformation and mutual root use, so as to achieve "yin and yang secrets, and the spirit is the cure". Diet therapy is to use the cold and warm properties of food to make up for the shortcomings and make up for its shortcomings, so as to achieve "eating modestly and not eating from time to time", which is the theoretical basis of TCM diet therapy.
Beginning in April, it is the season of revival of all things, and Chinese medicine believes that "spring corresponds to the liver", which means that the liver plays a very important role in the human body in spring. Because the liver has the effect of regulating qi, "the liver likes to be adjusted, and is depressed." "The liver likes happy emotions and does not like depression and sorrow.
In the spring, when people are depressed, the liver qi will be affected, and the qi and blood will not be able to grow smoothly. Therefore, spring is not only a period when the spleen and stomach function is relatively weak, but also more attention should be paid to soothing the liver and relieving depression. Therefore, at this time, we should choose appropriate foods to maintain health and strengthen the spleen, adjust the function of the spleen and stomach, and take into account the soothing of the liver and nourishing the liver.
