Is vegetarianism good for health?

It's a commonplace topic that vegetarianism is good for your health. I've talked a lot about the benefits of vegetarianism before. Vegetarians always have some questions. Here are some frequently asked questions about vegetarianism to answer them.

One, the skin disease broke out seriously half a year after eating a vegetarian diet, why?

My point of view is that after a vegetarian diet, the body will get better and better, and the righteousness will become stronger and stronger. It is slowly excreted from the body. If the evil is hot or damp, and it penetrates the skin, it will manifest as skin disease, rash, or itching. This is a reaction to expelling evil. In addition, I have also found in clinical practice that when treating children with asthma, when the asthma improves, it often manifests as a rash on the skin, which is also a manifestation of warding off evil spirits. It can be said that the more the rash penetrates, the less the evil will be, and the less asthma will occur in the future.

If you stick to a vegetarian diet, the symptoms of skin diseases will become lighter and lighter in the future. When the skin diseases disappear, it means that the body has no evil spirits, which is a good thing.

Second, will a long-term vegetarian body become colder?

People who have been vegetarians for a long time are often prone to cold constitutions, which is caused by not being vegetarians. Vegetarianism is not limited to rice, vegetables, and wheat. The range of vegetarianism is very wide. It can be said that as long as those who do not have eyes or are active, the rest are vegetarians. Vegetarian food is both cold and warm. For example, onion, ginger, and garlic are all warm, and various seasonings are often warm.

Vegetables tend to be cold and cold, and eating them for a long time can easily lead to a cold body. It is recommended to eat some warm food often. Warm vegetables are: pepper, coriander, yam, pumpkin, basil, kidney beans (green beans), lentils, fennel sprouts, ginger, bitter almonds... Mild fruits are: durian, longan, lychee, jujube, peach…….

The so-called vegetarian, not only eat vegetables, vegetables only as an auxiliary part of the diet. For example, the ancients often eat pickles, the purpose is to use pickles to appetize. I advocate vegetarianism, not to let everyone eat more vegetables, vegetables can not replace the staple food.

Long-term vegetarians want to prevent body cold, it is recommended to use moxibustion, which can be moxibustion at Zusanli, Zhongwan and Guanyuan points. I often use wheat grain moxibustion. I choose a few acupoints, especially Zusanli, and moxibustion three or five strong points on both sides, which makes me feel very comfortable. It can not only prevent the body from being cold, but also can nourish the yang and prevent diseases.

Three, will vegetarians be deficient in protein?

Protein is the parlance of modern medicine. Modern medicine believes that lack of protein will be unhealthy. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that true health is: balance of yin and yang, harmony of zang-fu organs, dredging of meridians, smoothness of qi and blood, and stability of mind. A vegetarian diet can achieve these goals, do you think there will be a lack of protein?

Of course, the requirement of vegetarianism is not to be picky eaters. The types of food eaten every day should be appropriately diversified, and try to eat as little cold vegetarian food as possible. In particular, avoid frying, barbecue, greasy, sticky (referring to food made of glutinous rice and moon cakes, etc.), raw and cold (most cold fruits, ice cream, food and beverages just taken out of the refrigerator, etc.), chili and so on.

My own experience is that after a vegetarian diet, my spirit is very good, my thinking is very clear, my physical strength is not reduced, and at least running is very easy. Moreover, after a vegetarian diet, I will not feel hungry at night, my heart will be more stable, I will be more willing to stick to traditional Chinese medicine, and my life will feel better and happier.

Fourth, is it good to be vegetarian?

It's good to be vegetarian. In order to be healthy, we must be vegetarian; for inner peace, we must also be vegetarian; in order to harmonize the earth, we must be vegetarian. The benefits of vegetarianism are great, not only for oneself, but also for society, the environment, and the whole nature.

Practitioners often choose vegetarian food for compassionate reasons. As ordinary people, we choose vegetarian food because vegetarian food can benefit our body and mind and allow us to find happiness in life.

Of course, not all vegetarian diets are healthy. On the one hand, because medicine and food are of the same origin, food is actually medicine. If you don’t choose food, you will eat a single diet, which will lead to diseases. vegetarian diet. For example, those with a cold body should eat more warm foods; those with a hot body may wish to eat more cool fruits or vegetables; those with a weak spleen should choose more soil-grown foods, such as sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes, etc. , so that vegetarianism can be more beneficial to health.

For patients, I recommend using diet instead of medication. The reason is that, on the one hand, we all have to eat food, and we eat it every day, three times a day, while medicine is only used occasionally, and diet therapy is more convenient than medicine therapy; on the other hand, food is also biased, but the bias is weaker That's it. If it can add up, the power of food will be very great, and it can gradually change the patient's constitution.

From this, if you understand the four qi and five flavors of each food and can identify your own constitution, then choosing some special vegetarian food and insisting on eating it every day will be a very clever medical method.
