Understand Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine health preservation

It is said that TCM health-preserving effects are excellent, especially for controlling human blood lipids. Generally, in winter or autumn, people will eat a lot of high-calorie foods, but the amount of exercise is also decreasing with the change of seasons, especially for middle-aged or elderly people, blood lipids are also prone to increase. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary for us to look at Beijing TCM health-preserving methods to see how to lower blood pressure in the body.

Homemade hawthorn yogurt. In Beijing's traditional Chinese medicine health care, we can eat more foods containing hawthorn and yogurt, because these foods contain a lot of vitamin C, which can blend with the lipids in the body to ensure normal metabolism in the body, promote the excretion of cholesterol, and soften blood vessels. Hawthorn contains lipase, which is beneficial for the digestion of fat. The dietary fiber it contains can also improve bowel movements. Take 2-3 hawthorns, wash them, remove the cores, add appropriate amount of rock sugar and boil them in water for 20 minutes. Take out the hawthorns, wait for them to cool to warm, cut them into small pieces, pour in about 100 grams of yogurt, stir and drink. People with high stomach acid should not eat too much.

Drink mixed bean porridge. Beans are rich in nutrients, containing high-quality protein, multiple vitamins and dietary fiber. They can promote cholesterol metabolism, accelerate excretion, and reduce cholesterol concentration in the blood. Studies have found that eating half a bowl of beans every day can reduce the level of bad cholesterol by 20%. There should be more types of beans, such as red beans, black beans, soybeans, etc., and then add some coix seed, rice, black rice, etc., and cook porridge together. You can drink a bowl of mixed bean porridge at lunch every day, or you can eat mixed bean porridge as a staple food at dinner.

Massage your waist and abdomen. The elderly can also regulate their blood lipid levels by massaging their waist and abdomen. Massaging the waist and abdomen with moderate force can promote blood circulation in this area, ensure adequate blood supply to the abdominal organs, adjust the functions of internal organs, accelerate fat metabolism, enhance muscle strength in this area, reduce fat accumulation, and effectively control blood lipids.

Keep exercising. Exercise can promote metabolism, increase the activity of lipoproteinase, accelerate the circulation, decomposition and excretion of lipids in the body, and thus control blood lipids. Failure to exercise regularly over a long period of time will not be conducive to lowering blood lipids and may even aggravate dyslipidemia. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people exercise at least 3 days a week, about 45 minutes a day, by jogging, Tai Chi, swimming, mountain climbing, etc.

Eating more foods that are beneficial to people's health is not only part of the purpose of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine health preservation, but can also help us increase our body health index and avoid high blood lipids in middle-aged and elderly people. Therefore, in daily life, this knowledge is of great help to our physical health preservation.
