"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that when autumn comes and the weather is cold, "eat five fruits" to prevent diseases. Do you know which five kinds of fruits?

Compendium of Materia Medica is a medical book edited by Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in ancient China. It has played a great role in the development of basic medicine in China, and also recorded many ways of keeping in good health. For example, you need to eat corresponding fruits in different seasons to keep healthy, and there are necessary medical protection measures in all cases. Among them, autumn is highlighted. It is said that autumn is coming, the weather is cold, and five kinds of fruits need to be eaten to prevent diseases. Then let's look at the specific things.

Autumn is followed by summer, which is hot and rainy, and basically the whole season is wet. Moreover, due to the high temperature, food is easy to rot and breed bacteria, and the autumn season changes, so our bodies may not keep up with the whole rhythm of change. Moreover, autumn does not become very cold at once, and the change of seasons is a slow process. At the same time, autumn will weaken the internal organs of the human body, so we need to supplement ourselves properly in autumn. Pears and grapes are recommended in Compendium of Materia Medica. Pear has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, moistening throat and promoting fluid production. But also has that effect of clearing lung-heat and detoxify. But also full of sweetness, which has a very good effect on promoting our appetite. If a person has a good appetite, then nutrition will keep up and it is not easy to get sick. Moreover, the nutrients of pears are easily absorbed by the human body. Children and middle-aged people are suitable for eating. Another recommended grape is a good fruit for obese people, because it contains a lot of nutrients and can also lower human cholesterol. Moreover, the cold weather in autumn will also damage human blood vessels, and grapes also contain elements that can repair blood vessels, which is a good health care product.

Compendium of Materia Medica introduces beans, loofah and peaches. Loofah and peaches have the function of relaxing bowels, and peaches are bright red when they are ripe. Because their color is very similar to blood, they have the function of promoting blood circulation in the eyes of the ancients. Moreover, the ancients found that peaches have many uses, not only delicious, but also medicinal value. They break down various parts of peaches to make medicines for patients, such as peach gum and peach slices.

Moreover, ancient medical technology was not as developed as modern one. At that time, it was very painful for women to menstruate. Luffa is also a good food, which can protect women's health and promote blood circulation and menstruation. Moreover, edamame also has the effect of eliminating dampness. In this season of autumn, the damp heat brought by summer has not been completely removed, and eating loofah and fried edamame properly also has a good dietotherapy and health care function.

These are five fruits recommended by Li Shizhen in Compendium of Materia Medica. However, it should also be noted that although these five foods are good and beneficial to the human body, don't overeat. Because anything, even water, will do harm to your health if you drink too much, so you should take appropriate supplements according to your physical condition and spend the autumn well. This is what we should consider and do.
