Traditional Chinese medicine, including both decoction and some appropriate techniques, has played an effective role in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. Today we will introduce a traditional Chinese medicine treatment for self-protection and self-treatment during home quarantine: moxibustion.

 

A balanced diet is important for improving one's nutrition, resistance and physical condition after one recovers from the disease. The immune system cannot work well without sufficient nutrition. Only by constantly replenishing the body with necessary and basic nutrients and regulatory nutrients can the immune system work better. How can we improve our immunity by having a balanced diet?

 

Dietary principles during the COVID-19 pandemic


The COVID-19 pandemic is a respiratory disease closely related to the digestive system. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, over intake of spicy, fried, grilled and other high-calorie food will cause accumulation of internal heat in the stomach and intestines, which will then go upwards towards the lungs, causing a lung infection. Therefore, it is important to have a balanced diet of meat and vegetables and reduce the intake of fried, grilled and other high-calorie food as well as cold and greasy food so as to reduce the susceptibility of lungs and the incidence of diseases.

 

Adequate energy intake


Attention needs to be paid to the "staple foods" in Chinese food culture. The daily diet should include cereals and tubers including rice, corn, flour and miscellaneous grains, which can provide the main energy for the human body. We can also increase the intake of energy and essential fatty acid by using a variety of cooking vegetable oils. It is not recommended to go on a diet and thus neglect energy intake.

 

Get enough high-quality protein


Protein is the most important ingredient for the body. Insufficient protein intake will directly affect the body's self-repair ability and immunity. During the pandemic, we should increase the intake of fish, shrimp and other aquatic products, eggs, lean meat and soybean products, which are all rich in high-quality protein. The recommended daily consumption should be around 150-200g. Ensure that you eat one egg, and 300g of milk (or dairy products) every day. It is recommended to cook with fresh ingredients and eat less smoked, fried or cured meat. Do not eat wildlife.

 

Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits


Vegetables and fruits are rich in a variety of vitamins, and the dietary fiber in them is beneficial to the gut health of people who lack exercise at home during the quarantine period. Vegetables and fruits should be diverse and it is advisable to select those with darker colors. During the pandemic, it is recommended to have a moderate intake of multivitamins, minerals and deep-sea fish oil.

 

Drink adequate water


Drink adequate water containing a certain amount of electrolytes (1,500 to 2,000 milliliters) every day. Drink multiple times in small amounts. Mainly drink boiled water, weak tea, and scented tea. It is also effective to replenish water by drinking vegetable gush, fish soup, and chicken soup before meals. Drinking more water can speed up metabolism and promote the elimination of toxins. Since drinking sugary drinks, coffee, etc. can cause blood glucose to rise and increase the burden on the pancreas, it is not recommended to drink them a lot.


中医药在中国抗击新冠肺炎疫情的过程中取得了显著成效,除了汤药,一些中医适宜技术在这次疫情的防控中也发挥了重要作用。今天介绍一种适用于居家隔离期间自我防护、自我治疗的中医传统疗法——艾灸。

  

面对新冠肺炎疫情,合理膳食是改善个人营养状况、增强抵抗力并可能改善疾病愈后身体状况的重要环节。免疫系统的工作需要靠营养来保证,不断给人体补充必要的基础性营养和调节性营养,免疫系统才能更好地对抗外敌。那么,新冠肺炎疫情期间,我们该如何通过合理的饮食提高自身免疫力呢? 

 

新冠肺炎期间饮食原则


C0VID-19属于呼吸系统疾病,但其发病与消化系统密切相关。根据中医理论,过食辛辣、油炸、火烤等高热量食物,容易造成胃肠积热,胃肠之热可循经络上蒸于肺,引起肺的易感。因此要注意平衡膳食、荤素搭配,尽量减少煎烤炙博等高热量食品的摄入,也要避免饮食冰凉、生冷、油腻等食物,以降低肺的易感性,减少发病率。 

 

摄入充足能量


需重视中国饮食文化中的"主食"。每天的膳食安排中应有谷、薯类食物,包括大米、粟米、面粉、杂粮等,可为人体提供主要能量。还可通过多种烹调植物油增加能量和必需脂肪酸的摄入。不建议刻意节食减肥而忽视能量的摄入。

 

补充足量的优质蛋白


蛋白质是构建身体最主要的原材料,蛋白摄入不足,将直接影响机体自我修复与免疫力。疫情期间我们要増加富含优质蛋白的鱼虾等水产品、蛋类、會畜瘦肉和豆制品的摄入量,保证不低于推荐量(每天150~200克),尽量保证每天一个鸡蛋,300克的奶或乳制品。建议釆用新鲜的食材进行烹饪,少吃烟熏、煎炸或腌制的肉制品,杜绝食用野生动物。 

 

多吃新鲜蔬菜和水果


蔬菜、水果内含有种类丰富的维生素,且其中的膳食纤维有益于当下隔离在家缺乏运动人群的肠道健康。蔬果的选择应以多样性为原则,且宜挑选颜色深者。新冠肺炎流行期间,建议适量补充复方维生素、矿物质及深海鱼油等保健食品。 

 

保证充足饮水量


适量补充含一定量电解质的饮用水。每天1 500〜2000毫升,多次少量,主要饮白开水、淡茶水以及花茶等。饭前的菜湧、鱼汤、鸡汤等也是补水的有效方法。多饮水可以加快体内的新陈代谢,促进体内毒素的排出。因各种含糖饮料、咖啡等会引起血糖賴升,加直胰岛负担,不提倡大量饮用。
