Beware of toxic herbs in winter tonic

Recently, Yunnan, Food Safety Commission issued an early warning notice to alert the public to prevent food poisoning in autumn and winter, especially medicated tonic. Experts advise, Diet tonic can not ignore the "Food and Medical Use," the toxic ingredients.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, director of laughing gulls first pointed out that a lot of folk wisdom of medicated formula, but does not recommend the public to buy as many ingredients as possible to the formula of not just food, or medicine. Presence of some toxic substances, unauthorized consumption is likely to lead poisoning.

In fact, the Ministry of Health had previously announced 87 edible materials, including the peel, dates, yam, etc., this type of material is more safe; a category is under the guidance of doctors, can be used for health food additives. Common with Chinese angelica, Schisandra, pearl powder, propolis, etc.; there is a material are prohibited from adding herbs, such as the octagonal lotus, daughter son, hexagonal lotus and so on, these herbs in Chinese Medicine as "toxic substances", should the inadvertently added , will certainly cause injury. In addition, there are a lot of Chinese food with taboos, such as pig's blood bogey to yellow, Polygonum multiflorum; carp avoid cinnabar; radish bogey to yellow, Polygonum multiflorum; dog meat, almonds and other bogey.

Women's health should be more "hidden" little "Lucy"

Lead: the modern health consciousness of women getting weak, most of the women speak only grace does not care about the health regimen, also wearing a large winter skirt, a thin layer of silk stockings legs, not spring, are renowned for Liu bud how, on they miss to put on a skirt. Women's health have to pay attention, learn to master certain health approach to disease prevention in the first place.

Modern women are more "exposed", revealed the neck, back exposed, Lu Xiong, exposed arm, thigh exposed to the summer is exposed navel, which exposed every place has said. What is not in front of the neck after the neck is the cervical spine, Du, bladder, triple burner, small intestine by the large intestine and gall bladder have been through here, but this place is the most vulnerable parts of the body. Spring cover their autumn cold, spring is the place and covering this up, or else the wind may also hurt hurt six meridians; exposed back, not to mention, back to one of the sun, mammals, where only the people with shoulder, shoulder on the importance of human self-evident. Originally, from the spine to the back, the wind House, the wind pool, the three damper main point is that the entrance of the wind, to take a good wind, and even have anti-summer, let alone another season. Six disease pathogens, first of all for the great evil of wind. Exposed arm, is exposure to the lung, pericardium, heart, large intestine, triple burner and small intestine through. Let say this pericardium, the very spring from armpit starting point, along the inside arm down by side, to see how many people are not screaming pain? Exposed thighs, legs in front of the stomach, thighs on both sides of center line of the gall bladder, legs behind the bladder through the center of the sun, inside the spleen, kidney and liver, also opt for exposed, old people and old first leg, This is because the age is very young women, few legs no illnesses. Upper and lower body points, Qing Yang rising aggregate of decline, many women thigh cold, why? Is poor blood circulation, and blood stuck atop a.

Air represents the modern way of life, summer-blooming outside yang, the heat, we have to keep the pores of the state of the natural open diarrhea, called "due to the time of day", but if the air-conditioned room, stay for the pores it was closed, and there is cold, too cold in vitro, part of the cold air from the pores drilled the opportunity to come in, the temperature difference it pretty well, but the heat does not go out on the loose, and so the air-conditioned room again when the pores open, the sun was inhibited gas had to re-adjust a few out of several into the body's internal Qi into chaos. Summer is cold from the body would have the best time, because all the pores are open, hot yoga, it is necessary in air-conditioned room temperature of 40 degrees to detoxification, often if the air conditioning can be cold, eating ice cream, continue to the body internal organs to increase the cold, certainly can not rule out the toxins in the body. So do not think anything can blow out air conditioning in the natural wind, there can only be properly made out of wind, is the "virtual thief evil wind", which a thief in the wind is the Chinese ranked first as a causal factor.

There is the nightlife, parties and fashion of the party, bars, nightlife is very popular short, yin and yang reversed, Tianhundian nightlife, dark circles, acne, like the external problem is unavoidable, the key is it will be good internal health of harm. So some doctors are very firm, said: stay up late to the source of all diseases. During the day the sun, the night is cloudy. Late night, that is, Hao Shang yin, yin substances, Yang to function. Consumption what is it? Is the blood, water, various nutrients. Do not sleep at night has been, it will have been Hao Shang chi, has been hurt down, the body will start the emergency or compensation mechanism, to ask the general fatty liver night crowd situation, we know that such a law must not escape.

What is Chinese medicine often will say, "the source of sickness," the wind, there are liver, there is gas, there is heart, there is Yang, and both can lead to disease. There are many factors of human disease, Chinese medicine there are many factions, some doctors start their lives from the rule of the liver, the liver was stressed; Some say temperature; Some say beauty is sleeping out; some will say that beauty is to eat out , and the faction said. In fact, this is the fascination of Chinese medicine, 48000 Famennian, roads lead to Rome, and do not conflict.

Foods high in iron: Pennsylvania State University researchers found that iron deficiency in human blood are afraid of the cold.

Anemia, hemoglobin than normal body temperature of women in the women with low 0.7 ℃, yield 13% less heat, when the increase in iron uptake, its cold is obviously enhanced. Therefore, the cold sense of women may have increased the food intake of high iron content, such as liver, lean meat, spinach, egg yolk, etc.
