Men have three taboos and four "deficiencies" to replenish in this way

Many young people think that "health preservation" is the exclusive domain of the elderly. Experts point out that today's young people should not only maintain health, but also pay attention to some issues of their own health care. Health preservation for young people is different from that for the elderly. They have their own obvious characteristics. Although it is not very difficult to do it, you should also pay attention to the three taboos.

There are three things young people should avoid when maintaining good health

1. Abstinence

The balance of yin and yang is Yi's way of maintaining health. Young people tend to have more than enough in everything, and it is difficult to control things properly. Smoking and drinking for pleasure and competition; working and entertaining day and night; either sitting motionless in the office, or going to the gym to exercise sore muscles. These are all performances. The solution to this problem is simple, a little bit of everything. Even if you have 100% alcohol capacity, why not drink a few sips less? Even if you can stay up all night, wouldn't it be more comfortable to go to bed a few hours earlier? During this period when Yang Qi is the most abundant, if you don't cultivate it, once the Yang Qi declines, it will be so rapid that you won't be able to keep it.

2. Avoid being impatient

It seems too difficult for young people to achieve the "tranquility, emptiness" and "inner spirit" mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. However, young people are originally full of qi and blood. If they are too agitated, their yang will be hyperactive and their qi will be disordered. Why do we emphasize avoiding agitation? Because we are already living in an impetuous society. People can't stand loneliness and temptation. People's physique is more yang than yin, so it is easy to cause diseases caused by excessive yang. If you can be more peaceful when you are young, you will plant a big field of blessings for the rest of your life. Not only will you not be easily hurt by emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, but you will also effectively control your yang and find the key to controlling your health.

3. Avoid being aggressive

Why is being strong considered as a health-preserving aspect for young people? Being strong itself does not seem to harm health. But if we think back to what we did in the past, we will know. For example, at the wine table, if you drink a glass, I will drink a bottle; if you drink a bottle, I will drink a bowl. I have seen some young people eating popsicles, mostly men, who eat more than anyone else and can eat more than ten or twenty popsicles in a row. When working, they never say that they can't do it. No matter how much or how tired they are, they will bite the bullet and finish it. Some women still have the mentality of not losing to men, not only in work, but also in life. Even during the menstrual period, they go through water and fire, and don't know how to take care of themselves. These are all the root causes of illness. So being strong is different from being strong. It is a factor that will destroy your health unknowingly. This is a big trap for young people who care less about themselves and more about what others think of them and want to be recognized at work.

How to make up for the four "deficiencies" of men

1. Men’s kidney deficiency

Kidney tonification is still the "highlight" for men. Men with kidney deficiency often show symptoms such as back pain, cold limbs, weak legs, decreased sexual function, tinnitus, etc. Dietary tonification should be based on tonifying the kidney, strengthening yang, nourishing blood and consolidating essence.

Principles of supplementation: For men with kidney deficiency, they should eat more fish, shrimp, oysters, leeks and other foods. These foods are rich in protein, taurine, arginine and zinc. Animal whips and turtles are also good choices for kidney supplementation. In addition, you should eat more foods that are warm and can warm the kidney yang. Appropriate intake of nutritious, kidney-warming, high-calorie, and easy-to-digest foods, such as mutton, can replenish the body's deficiency, benefit the kidney's qi, and improve immunity. You can also eat warm fruits, such as dates, oranges, persimmons, etc., to replenish blood, benefit the kidney, and replenish essence, and resist cold evil.

Diet therapy plan: Angelica, ginger and mutton soup: 20 grams of angelica, 30 grams of ginger, 500 grams of mutton, appropriate amount of rice wine and seasoning. Wash and cut the mutton, add angelica, ginger, rice wine and seasoning, stew for 1-2 hours, eat the meat and drink the soup.

2. Men have weak spleen

The spleen is blocked by cold, the spleen cannot transport and transform food, or the body is naturally spleen-deficient.

Principles of supplementation: Men with spleen deficiency should focus on replenishing yang and strengthening the spleen, and eat more foods that are warm and invigorate the spleen, such as polished rice, lotus seeds, Euryale ferox, and aquatic products such as eels, conger eels, carps, hairtails, and shrimps. Yams, dates, and lotus seeds are rich in starch, easily absorbed, and have the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. When it comes to meat intake, fish with fine fiber should be the main choice.

Diet therapy plan: Drink more yam porridge, jujube porridge, carp soup and carp soup on the basis of ensuring daily nutritional balance.

3. Men have poor liver function

Drinking is an important means of socializing, and many men also regard drinking as a habit. When drinking, alcohol "silently" harms men's livers. Men with poor liver function are prone to fatigue, nausea, anorexia, vomiting and other symptoms.

Supplementation principles: For this type of men, supplementation should focus on foods high in vitamins, appropriate calories and protein.

Diet therapy: Fish, shrimp, chicken, and beef are rich in protein and amino acids needed by the human body and are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. Adzuki beans and dates are also very suitable for men of this type. For lunch, you can eat fried eggs with leeks, shredded beef with spinach, and tomato egg soup. Millet porridge, cauliflower stewed meat, and adzuki bean and carp soup are all ideal dinner choices for men with poor liver.

4. Men are fat

Surveys and studies have shown that the overweight rate among adults in our country is 22.8%, and the obesity rate is 7.1%, with many of them suffering from puffy constitutions. Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic non-communicable diseases.

Principles of supplementation: Men with puffiness should control their intake of fat and total energy, eat a light diet, eat less salt and condiments such as MSG, and use cooking methods with less oil, such as steaming, stewing, and cold salads.

Diet therapy: When taking fish, shrimp and sea cucumbers, add red bean soup, winter melon soup and other light diuretic foods for better tonic effect. Lamb, because it contains L-carnitine, can promote fat metabolism and help lose weight, so it is suitable for men with puffiness.
