Our life has become better now. We eat fine rice and noodles, big fish and meat, and drink carbonated drinks . For this reason, obesity has become a modern epidemic, and some complications associated with obesity, such as: three high blood pressure, coronary heart disease , arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases also follow.

I saw a patient with coronary heart disease some time ago, a 44-year-old male. He likes to eat fatty, sweet, and greasy food, and the taste is also very strong. He wants to be full every time he eats. He has eaten like this for dozens of times. Years ago, he was diagnosed with coronary heart disease at this age and has a history of three years.

When the patient came to my clinic, he kept coughing up sputum, which was large in volume and thin in texture. He also gasped after being unable to speak a few words. He was relatively obese, and his eyeballs and were also swollen. It is also accompanied by chest tightness , shortness of breath, sometimes dull pain, chest and abdominal tightness, lack of energy, abdominal distension, indigestion, white and greasy tongue coating, and stringy and slippery pulse.

Judging from these symptoms of the patient, I think that the reason why the patient got coronary heart disease at this age has something to do with his eating, overeating, and always overeating. We must know that if the food we eat exceeds the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach, food will accumulate and turn into heat. The most obvious symptoms are abdominal distension and chest tightness. Of course, some food accumulation can cause indigestion and loss of appetite.

If this happens often, no matter how good the spleen and stomach are, they will not be able to withstand such torture. This will slowly lead to the spleen and stomach's function of transporting water and dampness getting worse and worse, resulting in the production of phlegm, dampness, and the accumulation of phlegm and dampness. , The offense is committed in the heart. It will block our heart qi and heart yang. If there is no intervention and adjustment at this time, it is likely to induce coronary heart disease, so the treatment should be based on the idea of ​​strengthening the spleen and stomach.

Prescription: Trichosanthes melon bark , Scallop , ginger pinellia, tangerine peel, white mustard seed , perilla seed, Poria cocos , Atractylodes macrocephala, cassia twig, dried ginger, Evodia , Polygala , decoction in water and take daily. 1 dose.

Prescription: Trichosanthes melon peel, scallion bark, pinellia , tangerine peel, perilla seed, and white mustard seed are used to resolve phlegm and regulate qi, and are used to treat symptoms; Poria, Atractylodes, cassia twig, dried ginger, and Evodia warm the spleen yang and invigorate the temper; After our spleen yang is restored, the power of transportation and transformation will become stronger, and the cold phlegm and dampness formed in the past will disappear.

After taking the medicine for 2 months, the patient's cough and sputum were relieved; chest tightness and shortness of breath improved, and other symptoms also improved. After that, the symptoms basically disappeared after a period of consolidation. There was no recurrence after 3 months of follow-up.

In fact, for the coronary heart disease patients in the above cases, while treating with traditional Chinese medicine, they also need to improve their eating habits. The first thing is to maintain the spleen and stomach, and the basic requirements for diet are: eat well for digestion and eat healthily. Specifically, do the following 2 points.

1. Eat a light and easy-to-digest diet.

Do not eat food that is too greasy or high in salt, and quit smoking and drinking. Pair whole grains with each meal and eat more vegetables and fruits to reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.

2. Regularly rationed meals are not easy to overeat

Three meals are scheduled and rationed, preferably breakfast before 8 o'clock, lunch before 13 o'clock, and dinner before 19 o'clock. Eat seven to eight minutes full at each meal. It is best to maintain a moderate sense of hunger before eating the next meal. You must always maintain a strong appetite and good digestion and absorption functions.

Of course, in addition to good eating habits, you also need to exercise properly after meals, keep your mood comfortable, and keep your abdomen warm. Only in this way can you nourish your spleen and stomach, take medicine better, and be more conducive to the improvement of patients with coronary heart disease and maintain good health. .
