However, if the weather is cold, if you want to eat some medicinal food to nourish and satisfy your appetite, there is no problem, just don’t overdo it. After all, most of the commercially available medicinal food is high-fat, high-purine, and high-calorie dishes.

Common ones include stewed pork ribs with medicine, ginger duck, sesame oil chicken, mutton stove, etc. In addition to medicinal materials, wine, ginger, sesame oil and other hot and dry ingredients may also be added.

"Not everyone is suitable for medicated diet and tonic!" Remind the following 6 types of people to try it before stopping:

●

: including cardiovascular disease, liver and gallbladder disease, kidney disease, diabetes, metabolic disease, etc.

Some medicated diets add a lot of wine, season too much, contain too much sodium, or are too high in calories and too greasy, which may aggravate the original disease.

●

: Too greasy medicated diet is prone to flatulence and indigestion.

Spices and alcohol can both irritate the stomach and intestines. Eating too much ginger duck or shochu chicken with a lot of alcohol can easily cause stomach inflammation, stomach pain, and gastroesophageal reflux.

●

: Medicinal food is generally stewed for a long time, but long-cooked broth and pork rib soup are high-purine foods, which can easily induce gout attacks.

●

: when you have a cold and a fever, if you eat hot and tonic medicinal food, it will add fuel to the fire and make the inflammation worse.

●

: Some patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria will aggravate their skin symptoms after eating too much medicated food.

●

: Like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus, some patients are very sensitive to qi-invigorating and warming herbs such as ginseng, angelica, astragalus, etc., which may aggravate the disease, so it is not recommended to eat them.

Zheng Anbin emphasized that if you are not sure what ingredients are suitable for your physique, you can seek the assistance of a qualified professional Chinese medicine practitioner.

In addition, health preservation also attaches great importance to daily life and rest. For example, the winter health regimen mentioned in the Neijing is "to lie down early and get up late, and wait for the sun", which means to get enough sleep and wait for the sun to come out for activities to avoid excessive temperature differences. Work and rest are two-pronged, so that everyone can spend the winter safely and welcome the new year with joy.
