According to Chinese philosophy and traditional chinese medicineQi energy is given to each of us from birth. Life expectancy depends on its quantity: the sooner it is spent, the earlier we age. Therefore, oriental practices aimed at maintaining health and active longevity, such as qigong or tai chi, teach how to conserve this energy and, if possible, accumulate it.

And physical exercises and breathing practices alone will not be enough for this. Up to 70% of the qi energy that we acquire during life is obtained from food. Therefore, in order to stay healthy and young as long as possible, it is important to build your diet according to the Chinese doctrine of nutrition.

To build up qi energy, the balance of yang food and yin food is important.

Qi is made up of the interaction of two energies - yin and yang. When these energies are in balance, Qi is generated in sufficient quantity. “If the balance of yin and yang is disturbed, various pathological processes appear in the body,” says Vlad Markin, instructor "LIVE!" in the discipline "Qigong".

You can achieve balance of yin and yang, including through proper nutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors divide all foods into two groups: Yang-rich and Yin-rich.

Food-yang warms, increases mental and physical activity. Excess yang is very rare - only if you for a long time eating too spicy food.

Yin food cools, makes the body soft and sluggish. An excess of this energy is expressed in drowsiness, fatigue and - attention to those who want to lose weight - weight gain.

Also in traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that the imbalance of yin and yang energies is the cause of food addiction - cravings for sweets, flour, fat. But once you balance the consumption of yin and yang foods, the problem will disappear by itself.

Which foods carry yang energy and which ones carry yin

Hot (a lot of yang): lamb, garlic, pepper, nuts, honey, spices.

Warm (medium yang): green and onions, coriander (cilantro), ginger, shrimp, turkey, duck, chicken, eggs, sheep cheese.

Neutral: beef, pork, cereals, starchy vegetables, legumes, mushrooms.

Refreshing (medium yin): eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, beets, fruits, salad greens, milk, cheese, caviar.

Cold (a lot of yin): kefir, butter, sour cream, oysters.

How to eat to balance yin and yang and store qi

The menu of most Europeans is dominated by yin foods. This is especially true for women who prefer raw vegetables and fruits, herbs and dairy products. "So often they eat in order to lose weight," says Lisko's love, gastroenterologist of the highest category, doctor of Chinese medicine. - But often it turns out that the basis of the diet is lettuce, low-fat yogurt and raw vegetables, and the weight does not go away. What is the reason for this? First of all, because all these products are rich in yin energy, which slows down many processes in the body, including metabolism. To lose weight successfully, a balance of cooling and warming foods is important. ” How can this be achieved?

- The basis of the diet should be neutral foods.Ideally, you should strive for the proportion that many Chinese centenarians adhere to: 70% boiled cereals, 15% boiled vegetables, 5% raw plant foods, 5% meat or fish, and 5% dairy products.

- You can only eat 1-2 refreshing or cold foods at a time.

- Increase the energy of yang food during the cooking process. To increase the warming properties of the dish, its ingredients are grilled, boiled or baked for a long time.

- Use spices. The hottest are black pepper, chili and curry. Paprika, cloves, nutmeg, cumin, cinnamon, coriander are warm seasonings.

- Start your day with meals prepared with yang products. They will energize you. Yin foods are best eaten before bed to relieve fatigue.

- Give preference to thermally processed food (it should make up 70-80% of the diet). “Chinese doctors rightly insist that it is easier to digest,” says Lyubov Lisko. - Even vegetables and fruits, according to their views, it is recommended to bake, or at least blanch, pour boiling water over. The basis of the meal, in any case, should be heat-treated foods. They can be seasoned with a little something raw. An example of such a dish would be hot porridge with a handful of raw berries or fruits. "

- Arrange meals according to the season. In the cold season, foods rich in yang energy (mostly warm) should prevail on the table. When warm, you can afford a little more yin food (mostly refreshing).

- Do not overuse southern fruits. In the autumn-winter period for us it is one of the main sources of vitamins. However, overdoing it with such fruits can cause an imbalance of yin and yang energies. The more sun a plant receives, the better its cooling properties, according to Chinese doctors. For example, oranges ripe at the equator contain more yin energy than citruses from Italy. Equatorial fruits are healthy local residents - with their help, they compensate for the influence on the body of a hot climate, but not for the inhabitants of Central Europe (especially in autumn and winter). Southern fruits increase yin energy and accelerate the consumption of qi, given from birth.

Ecology of health: Macrobiotics evaluates a dish in terms of its yin and yang ratio. A 5: 1 ratio is desirable. This condition is met, for example, whole grain... All products must be grown in the climate zone in which the person lives, consumed according to the season and cultivated biodynamically.

Macrobiotics is based on a bipolar picture of the world, which is also reflected in nutrition. According to her every food contains the polar elements Yin and Yang.

The cooking method can increase the yin or yang content of the food.

Zen Macrobiotics by George Osawa

Macrobiotics evaluates a dish in terms of its yin and yang ratio.A 5: 1 ratio is desirable. This condition is met, for example, whole grains.

All products must grow in the climatic zone in which the person lives, consumed according to the season and cultivated biodynamically.

The advantage of macrobiotics is the use of genetically related foods.

Osawa distinguishes 10 levels of macrobiotic nutrition from -3 to +7. At the same time, level -3 corresponds to the modern nutrition of prosperity, and degrees 5, b and 7 are considered health food.

The goal of a macrobiotic lifestyle is to maximize health, mental and physical activity, and happiness.

Osawa teaches that the body itself synthesizes all the necessary substances (transformation).

In addition, he argues that chemicals can pass into one another (transmutation). Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to the nutrient content of food.

Macrobiotic food includes many foods that are not familiar to Central Europeans, such as seaweed, sauerkraut, fat-soluble spices and special herbal teas.

Macrobiotics: health food

Macrobiotic doctrine sees the cause of almost all diseases in society in the disturbed ratio of yin and yang in food. It assumes that every disease can be cured with proper nutrition.

As a matter of fact, George Osawa positions it not as a temporary measure, but as a LIFESTYLE.

According to his statements, all food is divided into "bad" and "good".

To the first groupincludes all dairy products (tofu cheese is an exception), meat, berries, which, according to Osawa, have an excess amount of energy and can disrupt the energy balance of the body.

It is proposed to take all kinds of cereals as the basis of the diet. They should account for about half of the food consumed.

In second placethere are vegetables, preference is given to cabbage. Peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are entitled to take up one-tenth of the total daily diet.

A slightly more modest place is reserved for fresh fish and vegetable soups.

The number of legumes should not exceed five percent. However, Osawa's macrobiotics is not limited to the range of permitted products.

There are a number of rules for eating. The main ones include:

* Consumption of products grown in the region of residence.

* No dyes or preservatives: everything is only natural.

* Thorough chewing of food.

* Minimal amount fluid intake.

* Physical exercise.

* Eat only seasonal foods.

Osawa rejects medicines and operations on principle.

Mihio Kusha, a student of Osawa, developed a modernized form of macrobiotics.

With the help of his standard diet, he tried to restore harmony with nature, disturbed in case of illness.

The diet changes depending on the cause of the disease, as the ratio between Yin and Yang in food forms a counterweight to the nature of the disease. Macrobiotic treatments are not recognized by mainstream science.

The influence of cooking technology on the ratio of Yin and Yang in food

Yin and yang food

Schools and traditions with harmonious and an integral system maintaining health.

And especially interesting combining the concepts of ancient oriental medicine with the separation of products into yin and yang, ancient schools, for example, Hippocrates and the achievements of modern medicine.

Although these approaches have different philosophical foundations, they nevertheless have common parallel or identical points of view.

The worldview in the eastern countries was based on the cosmogonic dualistic concept of existence Yinand YAN - two opposing forces.

This approach expresses the universal interconnection of phenomena and things in the world. The needs of each person are determined by the philosophical principles of harmony and balance in the nutrition of people, the geographical location of their place of residence, climate, physiological characteristics and the intensity of their activities.

In the macrocosm that surrounds us, man is a microcosm - a world in miniature, which reflects the Universe. And in this single and complex system, everything is interdependent and interconnected, all parts of the macrocosm, and therefore the microcosm, have a common functional structure. In order for the human body to have a balance of YIN and YANG energies, it is necessary to establish a balance of the physiological functions of the body itself. And its violation is a lack or predominance of one of these energies. It can lead to pathology.

In other words, the human body is a converter, i.e. energy converter. It converts energy from food into its own needs: reproduction, growth, movement, thinking, assimilation and digestion of food, and so on.You can measure the coefficient of this conversion using computer programs... There is a special method for measuring energy in the human body... With its appearance, it became possible to treat and diagnose, for example, “ Chronic fatigue syndrome».

If there is no computer support, it is possible to determine the violation of energy in the human body by external signs... And here there are two groups of clinical symptoms, the so-called Yang and Yin syndromes.

YIN syndrome group characterized by reduced vital activity; pale with an earthy complexion; weak emotions; sedentary eyes; pale and white-coated tongue; dry skin; increased appetite; cyanosis of the skin and lips; constitution of the asthenic type. Patients have wet cough with mucus, sweating, weakness in the legs, back pain. The patient has no thirst, the voice is deaf, the stool is liquid, the urine is low-concentrated, the pulse is deep and rare, the state is calm, general relaxation, the pain is dull and pressing, the patient wants to wrap himself up warmly.

YANSKOGO syndrome group characteristic of increased vital activity; shiny face; sharp, mobile emotions; mobile and shiny eyes; bright language; oily skin; decreased appetite; increased vascular pattern on the skin; thick yellow coating on the tongue; constitution of a hypersthenic type. Such patients more often have cerebral hemorrhages, arterial thrombosis, paralysis. Their condition is restless, euphoric, loud voice, dark urine, thirst, constipation, frequent and superficial pulse, sharp and throbbing pain.

Everyone can analyze their condition according to these descriptions. In this case, you do not need to be completely sick. Simply, you can determine what energy you are lacking and correct it with the right food.

Professor STRAKHOV YURI ALEXANDROVICH

Traditional chinese diet... Diet is very important part of traditional Chinese medicine.
The Chinese believe that most of the food is medicine, and if you follow the right diet, exercise, do breathing exercises, take care of your personal hygiene, you can cure diseases.

Traditional chinese yin yang dietorganizes food products into various categories. Fundamental - Yin and Yang, but four energies are associated with it, five component parts, five flavors and a Chi movement. The aforementioned categories relate to each other in a rather complex way, and all are taken into account when choosing a suitable diet.

In Chinese medicine, the yin yang diet is known as the science of nutrition. The scientific western equivalent of the Yin / Yang balance in a food combination is acid-base balance or "ph". We know that if you add a certain amount of acid to an equal alkali, a neutral compound is formed. Therefore, for example, sodium bicarbonate, soda (an alkaline substance) is used to reduce the acidity of the stomach.

Scientifically proven to begin digesting protein, the stomach must excrete pepsin... But the enzyme pepsin can only act in an extremely acidic environment, which must be maintained for several hours before the end of protein digestion. Another proven fact is that when we eat bread, potatoes or any other carbohydrates, the salivary glands immediately secrete ptyalin and other alkaline enzymes. The absorbed starch then needs an alkaline environment in the stomach to be digested completely. All this gives an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat happens when carbohydrates and proteins are consumed simultaneously.
The stomach, in response to the presence of protein and starch, simultaneously secretes acidic and alkaline juices, which are neutralized to form aqueous solution, unable to digest either one or the other. And then the proteins are decomposed and the starch is fermented in the intestines.

Decomposition and fermentation are the main causes of all types of digestive problems like gas, fever, bloating, constipation, colitis, etc. Many of the so-called " allergies"- also a direct consequence of poor food combinations. The circulatory system absorbs toxins from the fermented and decaying mass in the intestines, these toxins in turn causing rashes, hives, headaches, nausea and other symptoms that are classified as allergies. foods that can cause allergic reactions when combined poorly often have no effect if they are combined well. the modern American carries in his intestines more than 2 kilograms of red meat in a state of decomposition, without being digested.

Yin and yang
The theory of the yin yang diet comes from a simple observation of nature and describes the fact that all natural phenomena have its own opposite state that complements it. Thus, yin is associated with darkness, cold, night and the feminine principle, while yang is associated with light, warmth, day and masculine. All phenomena have yin and yang aspects. They can also have a mutual influence on each other: excess yin can be transformed into yang and vice versa. Any imbalance between yin and yang in the body is believed to cause illness and emotional problems if the diet is poor in one of the elements that can cause this imbalance. All foods contain yin and yang aspects.

Yin foodare considered cold, moist, soft and dark in color. Yin aquatic foods, like fish and algae, those that grow in the dark or underground, like mushrooms and roots, as well as oats, barley, duck, rabbit, pork, eggplant, beets, pumpkin, cucumber, cressalad, spinach, rhubarb, tomato, lettuce, wheat, tofu, soy sprouts, banana, lemon, grapefruit, and watermelon.

Food yang, mostly hot, dry, hard and usually light in color. They usually grow in the field, on the soil, and in bright places. Yan some seafood like mussels, garlic, asparagus, celery, dill, parsley, leeks, basil, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, soy, pepper, chicken, lamb, shrimp, apricots, cherries, chestnuts, orange skin and peaches ...
Four energies
The concept of four energies can be considered a subcategory of yin and yang. Four energies: warm, moderate, cold and cool show the effect that a certain nutrition has on the body.
Hot and moderate foods such as green and red peppers, dry ginger, leeks, and coconut milk are considered yang and are used to treat cold-related ailments caused by excess yin (such as feeling cold, diarrhea, or rheumatism of the joints) ... Cold and fresh foods like eggplant, sprouted soybeans, watermelon and tomatoes belong to the yin category and are used to treat heat-related ailments caused by excess yang (e.g. flu, constipation, eczema ...). Some foods, such as rice and pasta, are considered neutral because they are neither cold nor warm. Such foods do not affect body size in any way, and therefore are considered food for normal consumption.
Five ingredients and five flavors

The five-part theory is based on the Eastern idea that all phenomena are the result of movement and change in five categories: wood, fire, earth, metal and water, also known as the five phases. To have good health, these parts must be in harmony. Food and plants are used to balance the elements in the body.

  • The five-taste theory can be considered a subcategory within the five constituent parts. Five flavors: pungent, sour, bitter, sweet and salty. The term "taste" refers to the nature of food and does not always correspond to Western understanding. Spicy foods include garlic, ginger, and onion sets; lemons, apples and kiwi fruit juices are considered acidic; coffee, tea and almonds are considered bitter; dates, rice and chicken are sweet; pork, mussels and salt are salty.
  • Each taste joins the category: sour, bitter and salty foods are yin, while savory and sweet foods are yang; each taste joins a specific movement of chi and connects to a vital organ, so that foods with a specific taste are used to treat the dysfunctions of the corresponding organ. Sugary foods are related to the stomach and therefore can be used to treat problems such as diarrhea).
    Chi movement
    Chi - Chinese term for the life force or energy that flows constantly in the body. Exists different kinds chi, the main ones: congenital chi, present in the body from birth; protective chi that surrounds the body; nutritious chi found in food. The balance, quantity and quality of an individual's chi depend primarily on the food and drink that he consumes and the air that he inhales. Other factors that can influence are changes in seasons and climates, and the state of the body's organs that absorb chi.

  • How to Follow the Chinese Yin Yang Diet
    The traditional Chinese yin-yang diet includes a large proportion of neutral foods such as rice and grains, and a diet according to the individual's size is properly balanced with yin and yang foods. Since food compensates for the excesses and deficiencies of the body in a specific way, and each individual has individual needs, some foods are considered harmful to one, while others are useful.
    The first step in choosing a Chinese diet is to determine the individual's constitution. A person may have a warm constitution (yang) or cold (yin). The former should consume foods that contain cold or cool energy; on the contrary, people with a cold constitution should consume mainly foods containing warm or moderate energy. The diet must also adapt to climatic changes and seasons.

    Yin Yang diet, you have not yet decided, maybe try to eat, as is done in the east ..., determine your yin or yang! We advise you to familiarize yourself with other diets that we bring to your attention, they will help you achieve your goal.

Yin foods are those that grow above the ground, prefer cooler climates - they have a cooling effect on the body. Yin foods are large, low in salt and fortified with potassium. According to approximately this classification, products fall into the Yin category.

In this group, strong Yin, medium and weak Yin are distinguished - thereby emphasizing that there is no Yin absolute. Everything is relative, everything is conditional, proceeds from observations and generalizations, is subordinated to Eastern philosophy, which divides the forces of the universe into two fundamental principles. Yin products are feminine.
Man is part of nature, and eating is an important ritual of life replenishment.

Strong Yin - these include the following foods: corn, oats, rye, eggplant, beans, beans, mushrooms, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, asparagus, sorrel, spinach, parsley, pineapples, mangoes, oranges, lemons, bananas, dates , chestnuts, fats, margarine, honey, molasses, sugar, wine, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, mustard, ginger, red pepper, vinegar.
Medium Yin: grapes, pear, pomegranate, tangerine, persimmon, peach, plum, watermelon, melon, pumpkin, peanuts, olives, olives, beer, tea, beef, horse meat, rabbit, pork, veal, frog, snail, butter, kefir , milk, sour cream, cheese and cottage cheese.
Weak Yin - products: white and cauliflower, almonds, nuts, including walnuts and hazelnuts, carp, pike perch, pike, bream, carp, trout, flounder, tuna, crayfish, lobster, shrimp, lamb, chicken, sunflower oil , anise, bay leaf, nutmeg, cumin, garlic, tarragon, mint and thyme decoctions.

Yin products are used to treat the so-called Yang diseases: arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, eczema, dysentery.
The blood changes every 10 days, so it is considered that the course of treatment with products is also 10 days.
You can also achieve health by making up for the lack of Yin in the body by cooking the product: frying it in vegetable oil.
Yin should be preferred in summer and consumed less in winter.
It would also be natural to assume that people of the Yang Zodiac Sign: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius have a predisposition to use Yin products as a replacement for what is missing.

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if in cosmology you are a male energetic principle, then your love for Yin products is understandable. But people are not uniformly Yin or 100% Yang. Everything is individual and the balancing is also personalized. For example, according to my zodiac sign, I belong to the Yans, but I do not like legumes, beans, pears.
If there is an excess of Yin products in the nutritional balance, then this leads to fullness. Everything that is softer, fatter, sweeter is Yin products.
An excess of Yin is also evidenced by a red face and the appearance of abscesses and inflammations on the skin.
Yin deficiency is a flabby body, thinness, pallor, puffiness of the face, cyanosis, physical weakness, increased fatigue, lethargy.
But in any case, you need to keep in mind: the abuse of Yin products leads to growth in width)) Do you want to gain weight? This does not mean that you need to completely get rid of female yin in the diet: by no means! Approximate ratio of Yang to Yin in the diet, approximately 1: 7
Equilibrium in balancing energies will be provided by Yang products.
