Eat less meat and more milk

Before taking tonics, it is important to pay attention to dietary combinations and禁忌s. The spleen and stomach need to be adjusted to the optimal state for receiving tonics. Besides food safety, in addition to seeking traditional Chinese medicine adjustments at the hospital, we should consume some nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods to strengthen the function of the spleen and stomach before taking tonics.

It is recommended to consume more dairy products, beans, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Eating more yams can help replenish the spleen and strengthen the stomach. In addition, water chestnuts and chestnuts are also excellent choices for adjusting the stomach. However, roasted meat, roast duck, and braised pork are not easily digested and absorbed. If consumed excessively, they can overburden the gastrointestinal functions of elderly people with weakened digestive systems, especially those suffering from obesity, heart disease, or high blood pressure, who should eat less meat.

Eat less ginger and drink more honey

Ancient sages said "drink salt water in the morning and honey water in the evening" as a way to address autumn dryness. This means drinking a bit of salt water during the day and honey water in the evening can replenish lost fluids and is an excellent dietary remedy for nourishing health and resisting aging during the autumn and winter seasons. It can also prevent constipation caused by autumn dryness, achieving three benefits at once.

During the autumn and winter seasons, it's advisable to eat less spicy and grilled foods, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, cassia bark, black pepper, ginger, green onions, and white liquor. These foods are considered hot in nature, and consuming them can easily lead to internal heat, worsening the harmful effects of autumn dryness on the body.
