Eating Right: Understanding Food to Prevent Disease – Voice of Hope March 12, 2024

[Voice of Hope March 12, 2024](Editor: Li Zhi) In spring, we often hear the word “hair”. We cannot eat it if we have a cold, if we have a fever, or if we have trauma… What exactly is “hair”? “thing”?

In fact, the full name of what we usually call “food” should be – food that induces disease.

Although they do exist, “fat” does not have a clear identity in modern medicine. Based on the characteristics of these foods, many people classify them as “allergens”.

Generally speaking, “fawu” is only targeted at sick people.

For example, infectious diseases such as aphthous ulcers and herpes zoster worsen when eating hot foods; or patients with allergic dermatitis, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and other diseases develop diseases after eating seafood and other foods. Relapse etc.

Since these foods will not cause harm to healthy people, what kind of food will be characterized as “hair-producing food” is not determined by the food itself, but by the disease.

Therefore, as long as we understand the nature of the food and eat reasonably according to our own physical conditions, it will not cause disease, and we can even “get benefits” from it.

Photosensitive foods

Photosensitive foods refer to foods that can easily cause photodermatitis.

Common photosensitive foods include lettuce, fennel, amaranth, shepherd’s purse, celery, radish leaves, spinach, coriander, rape, lemon, mango, pineapple, etc.

In addition, “photosensitive seafood” includes snails, shrimps, crabs, clams, etc., which also contain photosensitive substances, so you need to pay attention.

Generally, these foods will not cause adverse reactions as long as they are not eaten in large amounts, but people with allergies should eat less.

Many of these foods are rich in nutrients, and eating them at dinner or in rainy weather can reduce their photosensitivity.

What we need is to eat sensibly rather than blindly fast. So, how should we eat scientifically in our daily life?

Look at the nature, taste and season of food

For example, mutton has a warming and tonic effect when eaten in winter, but when eaten in summer, many people tend to get angry. For these people, mutton is a “hair-raising substance”.

Find out if food can cause illness

For example, some people are prone to allergies when eating shrimps and crabs. For these people, shrimps and crabs are “fat foods”.

Look at your own physique

For example, snow pear nourishes and reduces fire for many people, but for people with weak and cold constitutions, it is a cold-accumulating “factor”.

For people who are already sick, there is the simplest way to judge whether a certain food can be eaten – listen to the doctor!
