Anyway, zongzi is also rice, so it doesn't matter.

The mother thought that the child would still eat zongzi, so she bought him a few more zongzi, but this time the child didn't even eat the zongzi.The mother thought the child was playing a temper tantrum, and she got angry. Finally, the child said that his stomach hurts and he was uncomfortable, but he couldn't pull it out when he went to the toilet. He didn't know what to do.

[Grandpa said] If the diarrhea patient is an adult, during the treatment of diarrhea, pay attention to fasting milk or greasy food, and eat more dietary fiber and easy-to-digest food.If the diarrhea patient is a child over 6 months old, pay more attention. On the basis of maintaining a normal and balanced diet, you should choose more liquid staple food to facilitate the digestion of the child's stomach, and add more fruits and vegetables, fish and minced meat to supplement nutrition.If the diarrhea patient is a breastfeeding infant under 6 months, it is best to temporarily stop breastfeeding when the infant develops diarrhea symptoms, and use rice soup as a substitute, and continue breastfeeding after the baby's stomach improves.

[Nurse said] Once when we were shopping in a shopping mall, there was a booth about a certain brand of detoxification tea as soon as we entered the door. As soon as we entered, the salesperson pulled us to sell, saying that girls should detoxify more and improve their appearance.I'm fine, my colleagues around me have become obsessed, and hurried to the booth to see, they all wanted to buy detox tea out of their pockets.

I quickly stopped them and dragged them to grandpa's house.Because my grandfather has the habit of detoxifying me since I was a child.They are all very simple prescriptions in life, and they are not as strong as detox tea.Under my persuasion, my colleagues decided to give it a try.

Grandpa knows that everyone just wants the prescriptions for detoxification and beauty, so he is not stingy, and shared with colleagues a few therapeutic prescriptions that I often use.One is Qingxin Pork Bone Soup and the other is Rose Drink.Colleagues all know the beauty effect of roses, but they don't know that rose water can have the effect of detoxification.As for another Qingxin Pork Bone Soup, Grandpa explained the efficacy seriously.Because the pig bone itself is the backbone of the pig, it is rich in bone marrow, which is very effective in rejuvenating the skin.The other main ingredient is sword flower, which can clear the heart and nourish the qi, and dredge the intestines.Therefore, regular consumption of Qingxin Pork Bone Soup is very effective in detoxification and beauty.

Stool refers to the old feces that have stagnated in our intestines for more than 5 days and have not been excreted.Difficulty clearing stool is a common problem among modern people, because it does not mean that the stool can be cleaned up every day, because the stool is mostly hidden in the hidden place in the intestinal tract, and a certain part of our intestinal wall has a bag-like bulge outward When the intestinal diverticulum is formed, the intestinal content is easy to slip in and accumulate in the diverticulum, and over time it becomes stagnant and difficult to discharge. This is the formation process of stool.

There are many reasons for the formation of stool. On the one hand, it is related to people's irregular eating habits. On the other hand, it is mostly because modern people's diet is becoming more and more refined, and they do not like coarse grains or foods heavy in fiber.Especially for urban white-collar workers, who eat less high-fiber food and sit in the office for a long time, it is easy to cause toxins and heavy metal residues to accumulate in the folds of the intestinal tract, and it is more likely to cause local accumulation of fat and form stool.In the face of stool problems, many modern people, especially women, will use drugs, diet, and even catharsis methods to treat them. However, both drug defecation and diet will cause damage to body functions to a certain extent, so here are some natural ones. , mild, and no side effects diet therapy, I hope to help you solve the problem of difficult stool.

[The nurse said] Ms. Huang is the sales manager of a brand of skin care products. She is 31 years old.Once when I went to buy skin care products, I saw that the spots on her face were quite deep. When chatting, I tentatively asked Ms. Huang about the formation of spots, and asked her if she had irregular menstruation. She shook her head vigorously.I asked her if she had any uterine problems or gynecological diseases, but she still shook her head, and said that she had no problems at all, except that she had dark spots, probably due to too much sun exposure.I was wondering, why did she get so much sun in the mall all day long?So, I said that it is estimated that she has dark spots caused by stool.

She immediately became excited and said that she has the habit of defecating every morning, and it is absolutely impossible to have the problem of unclear stool.I said I'd have to meet my grandpa to find out, and asked her if she dared to bet, and she would naturally accompany her, thinking that it was impossible for her to have a stool.

Grandpa knew that I had guessed right when he saw Ms. Huang. Ms. Huang's stool was indeed unclear, which led to the accumulation of damp poison and the appearance of stains. Ms. Huang refused to believe it, so grandpa explained it seriously.In fact, defecation every day does not mean that the stool can be cleared, because the stool is mostly hidden in the groove or hidden place of the intestinal tract, and the less clear it is, the more difficult it will be to clear in the future.Grandpa finally gave Ms. Huang three kinds of food therapy, which are the snack recipe of dried mulberries mixed with sugar, the dessert recipe of sweet potato mash, and the staple food recipe of Su Ma porridge.

More than a month later, I went to the mall again and found that Ms. Huang's face was rosy and pale, and most of the stains that bothered me before had faded away.

【Grandpa said】If you want to easily clear the stool, in addition to diet therapy, what is more important is a healthy diet and proper exercise.First of all, we must develop good bowel habits, and defecate regularly every morning or evening.Eat more fruits and vegetables, sweet potatoes, corn and other cellulose-rich foods, and do more sports such as playing ball, jogging, and skipping rope to help maintain smooth stools. At the same time, you must arrange your work reasonably to avoid excessive work pressure and tension. Yat combination.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, stomach cold refers to the pathological changes in which the stomach is attacked by cold evil, resulting in the deficiency of yang qi in the stomach and the excess of yin and cold.It is mostly caused by deficiency of spleen yang, raw or cold diet, or direct pathogenic cold.Patients with cold stomach often have symptoms of epigastric pain, vomiting, clear saliva, dry mouth and tongue, and preference for hot drinks.

Stomach cold pain is a common disease in life. The following ancient diet therapy has a better effect on the treatment of stomach cold.

[Recipe name] Stewed eggs with mugwort leaves.

[Ingredients] 30 grams of mugwort leaves, 2 eggs.

[Method] Chop and mash the wormwood leaves, mix the eggs well, put the wormwood leaves in a bowl and mix well with the egg liquid.Then heat the pan with oil, stir-fry the mugwort leaf egg liquid until it is half-cooked. After the aroma is released, add an appropriate amount of water and wait for it to boil again before drinking.When drinking, you must pay attention to taking the dregs with water, and eat more mugwort leaves.

[Nurse said] In life, many people will have stomach pains, but many people always think they know themselves, no matter what kind of stomach pain they buy the same stomach medicine, or take the same soup.In fact, there are many causes of stomach pain, and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment.

In the past, there was a patient who thought he knew very well. Because of stomach pain, he heard from hearsay that small potatoes could harmonize his stomach, so he ate a lot of small potatoes every day. As a result, the stomach pain did not stop, but the burden on the spleen and stomach was aggravated because of digestive difficulties.In the end, I had no choice but to ask my grandfather for help.Grandpa asked him about the symptoms of stomach pain. He said that he had symptoms of epigastric pain, and he always felt dry mouth and weak mouth on weekdays, so he wanted to drink hot and sweet drinks.Grandpa concluded that he had a cold stomach, not hyperacidity, so it was not suitable to eat artichokes, and he should eat something that nourishes yang and nourishes the stomach, so he asked him to go home and cook more eggs stewed with mugwort leaves.

Grandpa explained that many people think that stomach pain is the same, nothing more than gastric ulcer, hyperacidity, etc., but different stomach diseases have different treatment methods, so we must avoid taking medicine indiscriminately.

[Grandpa said] Artemisia argyi has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, warming meridian and stopping bleeding, antibacterial, protecting gastric mucosa, promoting choleresis and relieving smooth muscle spasm, so it also has a good effect on cold constipation.At the same time, it can also treat diseases such as confidant's cold pain, diarrhea and tendons, chronic dysentery, vomiting, bleeding, irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia, vaginal discharge, fetal movement, carbuncle, scabies and other diseases.

Indigestion is a common life disease in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also a kind of gastrointestinal disease.Refers to excessive meals, which damage the spleen and stomach, leading to indigestion, food stagnation in the spleen and stomach for a long time, causing abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and difficulty in defecation.Food accumulation, on the one hand, reflects the damage caused by irregular diet to the stomach, and on the other hand, it also reflects the poor functioning of the spleen, stomach, intestines and other digestive organs.Since the main cause of food accumulation is the patient’s long-term improper diet, therefore, developing correct and regular eating habits and cooperating with scientific and reasonable diet therapy have a great effect on food accumulation, which can not only help people prevent food accumulation, but also relieve and treat the pain of food accumulation .
