The benefits of fruits are undeniable, but unfortunately, there are not many fruits that can be eaten by people with weak spleens, cold stomachs, and heavy dampness.

Nowadays, views on fruits are polarized. Nutritionists advise people to eat more fruit, Chinese medicine practitioners advise people to eat less fruit, confusing everyone, fruit in the end still want to eat?

The key to eating more or less is not the fruit, but the person. So what's good for people to eat fruit and what's not good for people to eat fruit?

Benefits of Fruit

In terms of nutritional analysis, fruits are rich in water, dietary fiber and vitamins, making them an important class of food source.

Dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the intestinal tract; vitamins play an important role in the body's metabolism, immunity, and the health of tissue cells.

Although coarse grains and vegetables are also rich in dietary fiber, they are rough and indigestible, and vegetables are not very tasty, so much so that some people, especially children, are reluctant to eat them.

Although vegetables are also rich in vitamins, most of them have to be cooked and lose a lot of vitamins, especially water-soluble vitamins, so the amount of vitamins that you end up replenishing through vegetables is limited.

Therefore, fruits cannot simply be replaced by coarse grains and vegetables.

Disadvantages of fruits

The sugar content of many fruits is not low, which is not very friendly to the obese and diabetic population and requires controlled intake. However, for the general population, within a reasonable range of intake, and will not cause obesity and diabetes.

According to the recommendations of the "Balanced Dietary Pagoda for Chinese Residents", the recommended daily intake of fruits for adults is 200-350g.

According to Chinese medicine theory, many fruits have the effect of generating fluids and moisturizing dryness, and once excessive, instead of becoming phlegm-gathering dampness. In contrast, common fruits, cold fruits are predominant, fruits eaten in excess, can also lead to stomach cold or body cold, more heavy dampness. Hot fruits eat more, may also appear on fire, inflammation and other heat evidence.

So, fruit is not a good thing to have in abundance, let alone replace grains as a staple.

Who is not fit to eat fruits

From a nutritional point of view, even obese and diabetic people can consume fruits appropriately as long as portion size is controlled.

However, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, some people are better off avoiding fruits for the time being.

• 1. Cold spleen and stomach, heavy dampness

Diet into the stomach, the first injury is the spleen and stomach. All fruits are heavy in dampness, and the spleen is most afraid of dampness. Dampness is most likely to injure the spleen, and a weak spleen will definitely produce dampness. Therefore, the spleen and stomach cold people, in the period of conditioning, it is best to suspend the intake of fruits, the effect of conditioning is better. If you do not abstain from food, even if the doctor to the right medicine, the effect is not satisfactory.

• 2、Yang deficiency constitution

Cold injures yang, and consuming too much cold food is one of the major causes of yang deficiency. Most fruits are cold in nature, so people with a yang deficiency who visit a Chinese medicine practitioner are often advised by the doctor not to eat fruits, or it will affect the efficacy of the medicine. Although there are also some warm or hot fruits, but the fruit is also very easy to generate dampness, the presence of dampness, is also an obstacle to the recovery of yang, yang deficiency is also very easy to generate dampness, so the benefits outweigh the drawbacks of not eating fruits until the body improves.

• 3. Acute disease attack

For example, when acute illnesses such as colds, fevers, diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, chicken pox, rashes, etc. occur, the diet requires special treatment. In the "Materia Medica" and other books, many fruits under the similar tips: where the external sensation is not gone, noma, malaria, dysentery, jaundice, pox, chiaroscuro and other contraindications.

Although, each fruit role, contraindications are not exactly the same, but many fruits are not conducive to the recovery of some acute medical conditions, such as unsure, acute illness, the first suspension of fruit intake, recovery and then eat.

From a health and wellness perspective, bringing fruit to visit a sick person is not really a good option.

Can people with cold spleen and stomach and heavy dampness still eat fruits?

In general, we recommend that this group of people, it is best to first suspend the intake of fruit, through a targeted approach to regulate the spleen and stomach, and then gradually resume the intake of fruit.

But if you can't keep your mouth shutYou can choose hawthorn, pineapple, papaya, kumquat, which are calmer in nature and help digestion, and the daily intake of fruits is limited to 100-150g.

The best time to eat fruit is between meals, such as 10-11 am and 3-4 pm. It is best not to eat fruits at night, theBecause yang energy weakens in the evening, the dissolving effect on cold and dampness is weakened, and the disadvantages of the fruit are more prominent than the advantages.

What is suitable for people with cold spleen and stomach and heavy dampness?

People with cold spleen and stomach and heavy dampness are not recommended to eat fruits, only temporarily. If the symptoms can be actively regulated and the function of the spleen and stomach improves, fruits can still be ingested appropriately.

Everyone's constitution is different, and the method of regulating it will be a little different. There are several food combinations recommended for the problems of cold spleen and stomach and heavy dampness.

• 1、Si Shen Tang

Legend has it that when Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, the northern officials were not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south, and they fell ill. Thanks to the guidance of a local monk, let them use Poria, lotus seed, Gorgon fruit, Job's tears stewed pork belly soup to drink, the officials gradually get rid of the dampness. This soup has been passed down, because these four foods like four gods to protect the spleen and stomach, so the name "four gods soup".

The four ingredients of Four Gods Soup are all common foods with the same origin in medicine and food, which are calm in nature and suitable for most people. Only when constipation is necessary to avoid, because the lotus seed, fructus cornus has a strong astringent effect.

There are many ways to eat the four gods soup, stewed soup tastes the best, Poria and Gorgonzola are not very tasty, with some meat in soup, can improve the taste. And longer time to make soup, Poria, Gorgonzola's flavor is also much softer, the most easily accepted. However, it takes longer to make soup, and it is a bit troublesome to make soup every day. Moreover, foods like Poria, which cannot be cooked in any way, remain rough to chew.

It is most convenient to make soymilk and drink it, and it is also the easiest to digest and absorb. After the high-speed operation of the soybean milk machine or wall-breaker, even the hard and rough Poria, has become very delicate and has a good taste. But the heating time of the soybean milk machine is short, Poria, Gorgonzola flavor is more original, the taste is not as good as the soup, but there is no odor, add a little sugar to taste, it is also very easy to accept. As long as there is a soymilk machine or wall-breaker, it is not a problem to drink four divine soups every day.

Ingredients: Poria cocos, lotus seeds, Gorgon fruit, Job's tears 20g each. (2-3 persons)

Practice: Soak the four ingredients for 2 hours in advance, put them into the soybean milk machine or wall-breaker, add water according to the water level of the soybean milk machine, choose "soybean milk" button. Finished with a little sugar to taste.

I usually wash and soak the ingredients in water at night before I go to bed and get up the next morning to make soy milk.

• 2. Six Gentlemen's Tea

Ingredients: 9g each of Radix Codonopsis, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Poria, 6g of Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, 3g of Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, 4.5g of Semen Armeniacae Fasciatus.

Practice: put the above materials into the kettle, add about 500ml of water, add 3 slices of ginger, 1 jujube, jujube should be torn open, select the "flower tea" button can be.

Six Gentlemen's Tea can both tonify Spleen-Qi and resolve Phlegm-Dampness. If the phlegm-dampness is not heavy, you can remove the Fahanxia. You can also put the various ingredients of Six Gentleman's Tea into a pot to cook, add more water, 800-1000ml of water, boil on high heat and then change to low heat, cook for 20 minutes, then strain the broth and pour it into a cup to drink instead of tea.

• three-volt soup

Three-volt day dampness is the heaviest, three-volt soup, as the name suggests, is prepared for the three-volt day, but not three-volt day of the patent, spleen deficiency dampness heavy people, usually can also drink.

Ingredients: adzuki beans 50g, white poria 40g, 6 jujubes.

Practice: red beans, white poria soaked for more than 2 hours; jujube washed, cored, torn, all materials into the soybean milk machine or wall-breaker. Press the water level line to add water, choose "soybean milk" button can be.

You can soak the ingredients at night before going to bed and wake up the next morning to make soy milk. The sweetness of the dates is enough and there is no need to add additional sugar.

Poria, red beans are common food to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, but the texture is relatively rough, boiled porridge to drink, some people find it difficult to swallow, with a soy milk machine or wall-breaker, the texture is very delicate, but also very easy to digest.

Red small beans are not ordinary red small beans, but slender as a waist-shaped, dark red red red small beans, the role of expectorant than the round, lighter color of the ordinary red small beans better. Red small beans fiber content than red small beans, the taste is more rough, but the effect of dampness is better; red small beans taste more delicate, easy to sand, more suitable for red bean paste.

concluding remarks

Although fruits have various benefits, they are not suitable for everyone. People with cold spleen and stomach and heavy dampness are not suitable for eating fruits. Fruit intake should be suspended first, according to the specific situation, through targeted methods of conditioning, when the spleen and stomach function has improved, then resume fruit intake.

The composition of Four Gods Soup, Six Gentlemen's Tea, and Three Volt Soup are all common foods that are derived from the same source of medicine and food, but they are all delicately blended and are very suitable for people with spleen deficiency and heavy dampness.

Eating healthy is not about eating healthy foods, but eating the right foods.

Most of the fruits are cold, eat more will damage the children's spleen and stomach, of course, the children are generally strong Yang Qi, and will not eat a bit of fruit to eat into the cold body. But for most of us have a weak spleen, dampness, stomach cold adults, this time do not have a chance to think that eating a little bit of fruit is no harm. Cold body itself, whether it is adults or children, usually usually more afraid of cold, cold limbs, pale, cold stomach, like to drink hot water, this time if you feel really greedy, you can eat some warm fruits: lychee, oranges, apricots, longan, cherries, walnuts and so on. Cool fruits like watermelon, bananas, pears, grapefruit and so on should not be eaten again.

From my personal experience, I think often eat apples can be, in all fruits, apples are known as the "king of fruits" does have the effect beyond other fruits, in any season is suitable for eating apples, anyone is suitable for eating apples, so no matter whether it is the stomach and stomach is not good or healthy people, eat apples is better. I'm at home when my husband will give me to do, oatmeal cooking apple roughage has always been a good partner of the spleen and stomach, and apple after cooking, it is difficult to cause some discomfort to the stomach cold people, so it is still a more appropriate choice, can help to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and promote JinRun dry. It is also very comfortable to eat.

Which fruits can be eaten by people with a weak spleen, cold stomach and more dampness?

Experts nowadays recommend that everyone should eat fruits, and it's best to eat 2-300g every day, while from our Chinese medicine point of view, most of the fruits are more yin and cold foods (except for durian, pineapple honey, lychee, cherries, etc.).

Like durian, pineapple honey such fruits, eat more than one is easy to form dampness and heat, especially the spleen is weak dampness exuberant people, eat may also appear popping pimples, bad breath, yellow tongue thick and greasy, so it is best not to eat a lot of these fruits.

Generally if your body is more fire, such as Yin deficiency and fluid deficiency, lung dryness, liver fire, etc., you can indeed eat fruit, because fruit can be acidic and sweet to transform Yin, can nourish Yin and nourish Yin, can reduce the fire, but also moisturize the dryness, such as pears, which is very good at moistening the dryness function.

Fruits are most injurious to yang, and when yang is damaged, the qi and chemical functions decline, and yin turbidity stagnation can cause many bad consequences, one of the consequences being tumors.

Therefore, if you are spleen deficiency, cold and dampness is heavier, or yang deficiency and yin bloom body, phlegm and dampness stagnation, then it is not recommended to eat fruit, otherwise it will aggravate the condition, just like the experts recommend that you should drink eight glasses of water every day, it must be based on their own situation on the evidence to the disease to judge, don't be a person, without a little discernment.

Thank you for your interest in pushing practical tips for your health!

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. According to the question you raised, the main consideration is that the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, and the dietary regimen for cold and damp body is described below.

In fact, the spleen and stomach cold, cold and damp body, must have unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle, for example, long-term fish and meat, like to eat cold spicy stimulating food, do not eat in the morning at night began to eat nonsense, especially before going to bed to eat, eat late-night snacks, these habits will lead to the spleen and stomach dysfunction of transportation and digestion, and then the spleen and stomach weakness, weak to cold, cold plus dampness, cold and dampness blockage, step by step evolved into severe Diseases.

Therefore, if you want to regulate the problems of spleen and stomach coldness and heavy dampness, the most crucial part, and the most basic reason, is to change the bad dietary habits, so that the diet is in order, regular diet, do not picky, do not gluttony, do not crave for cold.

As for what kind of fruits can be eaten to prevent spleen and stomach deficiency or are good for the spleen and stomach, I think most fruits are cold and cool, and can be eaten in moderation if there is no particularly serious spleen and stomach disease, as long as they are not overdone.

It is like hawthorn, which works well for weak spleen and stomach and indigestion. Yam has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach. Bananas, lemons, papayas and apples are also good choices.

However, once there is a deficiency of spleen and stomach, cold and dampness is too heavy, simply through the fruit to regulate a little too insignificant. Must be through other methods for systematic regulation. The following is to share with you a simple and practical small method.

First, the first and foremost is still to recommend moxibustion conditioning, because moxibustion conditioning is not only effective, but also does not hurt the spleen and stomach, can play the spleen and diuresis, warming the middle and the stomach, dispelling the cold and removing dampness, improving the internal environment of the gastrointestinal tract, and promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis.

There may be a lot of people have a rejection of moxibustion, not too recognized, mainly because they have not tried moxibustion conditioning, or in order to figure out the convenience of using the effect of moxibustion box, moxa stickers and so on to moxibustion, do not feel the magical efficacy of moxibustion.

I have been practicing moxibustion in the clinic for almost five or six years and have accumulated some experience, and I personally believe that moxibustion is very suitable for people with cold spleen and stomach and cold-damp body. We mainly use hand-hanging moxibustion in the clinic, and the acupuncture points are relatively simple, for example, the upper epigastric point, the middle epigastric point, the lower epigastric point, the Jianli point, the Shenque point, the Tianshu point, and the foot-sanli point, and so on.

I hope my answer is helpful to you, if you want to completely regulate the spleen and stomach, or try to choose the Chinese medicine aspect of the regimen, with dietary regimen, with each other, complement each other.
