CCTV News: On January 20, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine held a special press conference. Tang Xudong, director of the Institute of Spleen and Stomach Diseases of Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, introduced that the Spring Festival holiday should be a great time to relax and enjoy delicious food, but it is also a period when many gastrointestinal or other system health problems are prone to occur. Here I will share with you the "three treasures of health preservation" during the Spring Festival holiday:

The first treasure is "eat raw radish often". Whether it is green radish or carrot, it can digest food and help digestion after eating it raw, and the taste is very good, comparable to fruits. In fact, during the Spring Festival, you can also prepare some cold dishes for digestion to "prevent problems before they happen", such as cold radish shreds, sugar radish shreds, or sweet and sour radish shreds, which are often eaten by ordinary people, can relieve greasy and promote digestion, and are sweet and sour, and are relatively crisp.

The second item is soup, which is to make soup. I recommend a digestive soup for hawthorn malt. I stew it with 15g fried hawthorn, 15g fried malt, 10g tangerine peel, 15g yam, plus 100g lean pork or 100g black chicken. Before stewing, you can soak the Chinese medicine for half an hour. After drinking it, you can reduce greasiness and promote digestion.

The second treasure is "A walk outdoor". Because I am lazy during the Spring Festival, I eat more and exercise less, and I may not eat just to eat. I might as well walk outdoors, do some simple stretching exercises, and sort out the joints. Traditional Chinese medicine says that this is helpful for the smooth flow of qi and blood, the unblocking of meridians, and the digestion of food. Especially for people who have spleen deficiency and poor digestion, who eat less and eat less, they should pay attention to this point more. After the meal, they should also control their diet, do simple exercises, and rub the abdomen. These are helpful for improving digestion and promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis.

The third treasure is "a sniff at the right time". Because the Spring Festival is very hard, whether it is buying Spring Festival New Year goods, making New Year's Eve dinner, staying up late at night, visiting relatives and friends everywhere, and having dinners from various family friends consume a lot of physical strength and spirit, and it is particularly prone to fatigue. I think during the busy and tired Spring Festival, take a break and take a nap in time. This is a magic weapon for health preservation, so it is recommended that you have time to take a break in the afternoon. This is very good for replenishing your spirit, relieve fatigue, and relieve sleepiness. At the same time, it is also conducive to gastrointestinal peristalsis and food digestion.
