Chapter 668 Yin-Tonifying Medicinal Diet

Wu Lei's face turned pale after being slapped by Li Yi: "I know, I'll throw away all those supplements when I get back!"

In the live broadcast room, many fitness viewers also sent out a series of "dumbfounded" emoticons.

"I also drink creatine often. Is this stuff harmful to the kidneys?"

"Brother Yi really hit the mark. Many fitness noobs don't understand. Drinking all kinds of supplements like crazy will put a burden on the body."

"Many professional fitness professionals have broken down their bodies due to the heavy use of drugs and supplements, and they can no longer build muscle."

"???Where is the muscle? Please explain."

Seeing that the barrage in the live broadcast room was gradually going off track, Huang Xiaoming quickly brought the topic back and asked Li Yi: "What are the four genders you just talked about?"

"It's warm, hot and cool, also called the four qi."

Li Yi explained casually: “In fact, it corresponds to the yin and yang attributes of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Warmth in spring belongs to Shaoyang, heat in summer belongs to Taiyin, coolness in autumn belongs to Shaoyin, and coldness in winter belongs to Taiyin.

It sounds mysterious, but in fact it is the natural reaction of the human body after taking medicine and food.

For example, normal people will feel warm and angry after eating medicinal herbs such as aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, and deer antler.

Therefore, these medicinal materials are classified as warm medicinal foods.

However, normal people will feel cold and cool after eating coptis, gypsum, honeysuckle, Sydney, and mint, and their mouth will feel light, and their secretions and excretions will also become thinner.

Therefore, this medicinal material is classified as a cold medicinal food.

The human body's constitution is divided into two types: cold and hot, corresponding to yin and yang. The four qi are also divided into warm and hot and cool and cold.

As the saying goes, cool is the lesser of cold, warm is the lesser of hot.

Warmth and heat, coolness and cold are all of the same kind, but they have different medicinal effects.

If medicated diet is used for dietary conditioning, it also uses the principle of yin and yang balance to reconcile yin and yang, that is, what is hot is cold, and what is cold is hot, so as to achieve the effect of balance. "

Huang Xiaoming frowned when he heard it: "It sounds so complicated, it feels like doing equations."

"It's not as complicated as you think."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's just about eating corresponding foods in different seasons, replenishing nutrients in time, and improving immunity.

Just like in spring, when the weather turns from cold to warm, the ability of bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms to reproduce in the wild gradually increases, and the human body is vulnerable.

Therefore, in early spring, ancient people would eat more grains and high-calorie foods to increase their resistance.

In early summer, because vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits are not available in winter and spring, the ancients had to eat more fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins.

Autumn is the harvest season, and the grains are harvested in abundance, so what we eat are fresh grains, poultry meat, etc., which nourish dryness, invigorate the middle and invigorate Qi, nourish but not harsh, and prevent dryness and non-greasy food.

In winter, the weather is cold and cool, so it is necessary to replenish yang energy. When eating, the main principle is to collect yin.

Therefore, the food you eat should be warm, hot and moist without dryness.

For example, you can eat more red meat such as beef, mutton, pork, and warm ingredients such as longan, red dates, and walnuts.

However, in modern times, even in autumn and winter, everyone can eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and there is no need to pay so much attention to nourishment.

As long as you usually choose some seasonal food and adapt to it properly. "

This time, Huang Xiaoming understood: "So it's right to be in season, and you can eat whatever is in season."

"Yes, it's less stressful on the stomach that way, and it's better for the body."

While talking, the ingredients in the storage room have gradually become orderly after everyone sorted them out.

As the last basket of spinach was placed on top of the cucumbers, all the ingredients were finally arranged in five piles according to five colors, which looked extraordinarily neat.

Li Yi looked around, then took an empty basket, stepped forward, and picked out the ingredients.

"Medicated food is not like other dishes, it needs to vary from person to person."

While picking up the ingredients, Li Yi explained: "Everyone's cold and heat constitution is different, and the condition of the five internal organs is also different.

So in this episode of the program, we don't have a menu, and we have to customize the medicinal diet according to the specific situation of each diner. "

Hearing his words, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately became excited.

"Damn it! Isn't this blood money?"

"This is a real personal order! I want to sign up!"

"Is it really okay? I've been a little dizzy recently, you can ask Brother Yi to help me recuperate."

"The medicinal diet is so fragrant, delicious, and good for the body, isn't it much better than taking medicine?"

But Huang Xiaoming, who was at the scene, couldn't help asking: "Customize for each customer? Is there time?"

"There's enough time."

Li Yi smiled and said, "I'll practice with you first."

"How to practice?"

Wu Lei looked curious.

"I just ordered some medicinal meals for you to test the waters."

As Li Yi spoke, he left the storage room with the selected ingredients and herbs and returned to the kitchen.

Wu Lei and others followed curiously.

Looking at the turtle Li Yi took out from the basket, Wu Lei was curious: "Brother Yi, do you want to use turtle to make medicinal food?"

"right."

Li Yi put the turtle on the chopping board, looked at him and said with a smile: "This dish is tonic for yin. The turtle strengthens the spleen and kidneys, so it is just right for you."

Wu Lei helplessly covered his face, looked up and wailed: "Can we not mention this?"

“You have to face your own problems in order to solve them.”

Li Yi smiled and said, "You can have two more bowls later."

Zhao Jinmai on the side covered his mouth and whispered something to Liu Yifei, and then they both covered their mouths and started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Huang Xiaoming joked with a smile.

"Nothing, nothing."

Zhao Jinmai quickly waved his hand.

Liu Yifei explained with a smile: "She asked me why Xiao Lei, a man, still needs to replenish his vagina."

Li Yi heard this and explained with a smile: "Yin cannot grow alone, and yang cannot grow alone. The human body is in balance between yin and yang.

Yin and Yang are an inseparable whole, just like the palm and back of the hand.

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, qi belongs to yang and blood belongs to yin, so they are generally called yang qi and yin blood.

"Suwen·Qi Tongtian Lun" says that the yin is where the essence is stored and arises.

So the yin here refers to the yin essence and yin fluid in the human body that store essence and keep it inside. "

Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei's faces turned red when they heard these two terms.

There were also exclamation points and question marks in the live broadcast room.

Seeing this, Li Yi explained seriously: "The essence here refers to the essence, that is, the nutrients that can be absorbed by the cells. They are transported through blood vessels and inside, so they belong to yin, and they are called yin essence in Chinese medicine.

Liquid refers to the tissue fluid in the human body. There is an explanation in "Lingshu·Determination Qi", which says: the valley enters the qi, the water is injected into the bone, the bone is curved and stretched, the water is drained to nourish the brain, and the skin is moisturized. It is called liquid.

It refers to the liquid naturally produced in the human body through diet. Because it is also inside, it belongs to yin, so it is called yin liquid.

As the saying goes, Yin Essence enshrines one's life span. As long as the Yin Essence is sufficient, a person's vitality will be strong, he will not age easily, and he will live longer.

Yin deficiency refers to the syndromes manifested by the lack of Yin essence and Yin fluid in the human body. This Yin deficiency is not unique to the kidneys. The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and five internal organs can all have syndromes of Yin deficiency.

Yin deficiency generates internal heat, and symptoms include five upset stomachs, dry mouth and throat, dizziness and insomnia, night sweats and red cheeks.

So I just asked Xiao Lei if he had any symptoms of night sweats.

There are many medicines and foods for nourishing yin, and among the meats, soft-shell turtle has special effects.

This [fritillary turtle] is a yin-tonifying medicinal diet tailor-made for Xiaolei. "
