The ancients said: Get nourishing in autumn and fight tigers in the next year. Autumn is a good time to take supplements. Scientific tonics can allow the body to gain enough energy, increase resistance, and reduce the risk of illness. However, many people have fallen into cognitive misunderstandings in tonics. Not only can they not be able to supplement, but they become weaker the more they supplement.
What principles should be mastered in autumn supplementation?
1. If you don’t supplement without illness,
Blindly taking supplements can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. Therefore, those with strong constitutions do not need to supplement. People with weak constitutions need to take appropriate measures tonics, so as to achieve good results in replenishing deficiency, strengthening the foundation and strengthening the body. There are several types of deficiency symptoms, including Qi and blood deficiency, Qi deficiency, and Blood deficiency, Yin deficiency, and Yang deficiency, etc., so the symptoms should be supplemented. For supplementation, we should adopt the principle of gradual progress, and recommend dietary therapy, such as ginger beef soup, peanut brown sugar water , etc., and first put the regulation of spleen and stomach function first.
2. You cannot just choose expensive medicinal materials
medicinal materials are not the more expensive the better. Only what suits you are the best. Shark fin, bird's nest, etc. are expensive supplements, but they do not have unique therapeutic effects, and their nutritional content may be worse than that of an egg. In the elderly with empirical evidence, such as hypertension , diabetes , and kidney stone , the use of ginseng will further worsen the condition.
3. You can’t supplement too much
Some drugs have toxic effects, and eating too much will affect your health. For example, using ginseng and antler tonics can easily cause loss of appetite and abdominal distension; excessive use of ginseng can easily cause ginseng syndrome, mainly manifested as insomnia, dreaming, nosebleed , and physical discomfort.
4. You cannot blindly replenish
No matter how expensive the medicine is and the nutritional value is, it is difficult to replace food. Therefore, it is not as good as food supplements. Scientific food supplements can nourish essence and strengthen qi. Eat more grains, fresh fruits and vegetables to nourish the spleen and stomach, and protect stomach qi . For example, those who are prone to sweating can promote sweating by eating sour or spicy foods to help excrete evil energy in the body; those who are internally hot should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to reduce the heat.
5. Special groups cannot take supplements
Not everyone is suitable for supplements, especially children who are in the developmental stage, as well as pregnant women. If a child is arbitrarily supplemented, it may lead to premature puberty, causing the epiphyseal to close early, thereby affecting the final height; pregnant women's unauthorized use of supplements can affect the health of the fetus, and in severe cases, it may cause miscarriage or premature birth. If you have to take supplements due to certain factors, you should take supplements under the guidance of a professional doctor.
Warm reminder
Before taking supplements, first understand what kind of constitution you have, and use it according to your constitution to diagnose and supplement it to prevent the situation of deficiency and not being supplemented. Chinese people love to nourish the kidney. First of all, they can distinguish whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency . People with kidney yang deficiency should nourish kidney yang. You can choose Cistanche , cinnamon and deer antler. People with kidney yin deficiency should nourish kidney yin. You can choose wolfberry , Cornus , and Viagra .
