Food is the foundation of human survival, providing not only energy but also relief from certain ailments. Below are 10 food therapies summarized by experts from the Deshengmen TCM Hospital in Beijing.
Introduction to 10 food therapies
1. Muscle pain: Eat some sour cherries.
Drinking 1-2 cups of sour cherry juice can help alleviate muscle pain. Sour cherries are rich in enzymes with anti-inflammatory properties, and their analgesic effect is comparable to ibuprofen.
2. Memory decline: Eat some sunflower seeds.
Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E, which helps protect brain neurons from oxidative damage and aids in maintaining memory. It is recommended to eat 1-2 handfuls of sunflower seeds daily.
3. Poor eyesight: Eat some kale.
Lutein, found in kale and other leafy green vegetables, helps protect eyesight and alleviate age-related macular degeneration.
4. Muscle injuries: Eat an apple every day.
Apple peels are rich in ursolic acid, which helps promote the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin, two hormones crucial for muscle growth.
5. Lack of focus: Eat an egg every day.
Eggs are rich in choline, which helps improve memory and enhance focus.
6. Skin aging: Eat an orange or drink 170g of orange juice every day.
Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which aids in collagen formation and maintaining skin elasticity.
7. Depression: Eat brown rice regularly.
Brown rice and other high-carbohydrate, low-calorie foods can regulate serotonin, which controls emotions and inhibits anxiety.
8. Dark circles: Drink a cup of green tea after meals.
Green tea has diuretic properties, helping eliminate unnecessary fluids from the body and reducing dark circles and eye bags.
9. Dry hair: Eat spinach every day.
Spinach leaves are rich in vitamins A and C, which help hair follicles produce sebum and make hair shinier.
10. Lack of energy: Eat a banana every day.
Bananas are not only rich in potassium but also contain magnesium, which is vital for energy production and storage.
