Chapter 1025 Nutrition ABC
In fact, Bian Mu generally has no good impression of executives like Director Yan. Unless they formally register for help at the clinic, there is nothing he can do. He will be treated as he should be treated. For a consultation at the table like today, Bian Mu is generally unwilling to talk much.
In view of Director Yan's direct help in his mastering the Chinese medicine skill of "looking at the disease with the eyes", Bian Mu intends to help him again.
"Take a close look at your hands, dark and dull, dry and fleshless, with shrunken tendons and cartilage. In the old days, experienced Chinese medicine practitioners often called it 'dry and black claws', which is a sign of serious illness!" At this point, Bian Mu tasted a few mouthfuls of tofu dishes. He had been talking too much, so he was already hungry.
"Then...what will happen in the future? Can it be cured?"
"Strictly speaking, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, we can't say anything about this hand syndrome alone. However, combined with your life experience in the past six months, I can roughly judge that you are now in a sub-healthy state with serious nutritional imbalance, or, to put it more seriously, you have already suffered from malnutrition, and the degree is not light. If it is not corrected, it is really possible to induce sepsis and other "poor diseases" in the future!" Bian Mu reminded with a serious expression.
"Then...how to regulate it specifically?" Director Yan's heart, which had just recovered, fell into the ice cellar again.
"Let's discuss a very important topic first. In your opinion, what is nutrition?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"Nutrition... high protein, high calories, complete and balanced vitamins... amino acids, polyglutamic acid, etc. are of high quality, and... I really can't say."
"Hehe... the nutrition you mentioned is still a little far from the nutrition advocated by traditional Chinese medicine. So... let me guess, are there a few small boxes in the leather bag next to you, with a lot of nutritious fast food, that is, the kind of mixed nutritious lozenges that can replace breakfast or lunch?" As he spoke, Bian Mu pointed his right index finger at the small leather bag that Director Yan carried with him.
"Ah?! Could it be that Doctor Bian has developed a clairvoyant eye? Can you guess this? I really brought a lot. To be honest... I have been eating those things for at least six or seven years." As he spoke, Director Yan opened the buckle with his hand and took out a medium-sized paint box from it. It was translucent. At a glance, there were many small cabinets inside, and each small cabinet contained a lot of colorful things.
He took it to the dining table, opened it, and pushed it to Bian Mu.
He gently opened the lid, looked at it for a few times, and then sniffed it. Bian Mu was happy at that time.
"To be honest, you don't need to ask the manufacturer or where these things are made. If you trust me, you might as well throw them all away." Bian Mu said with a smile.
"Ah?! Throw them all away? Just this box, at least it cost me more than 10,000 yuan! Some of them are imported from overseas!" Director Yan seemed a little distressed.
"Nutrition can't be dismembered into various nutrients by those self-proclaimed nutrition experts. That is a regression between medicine and health. May I ask, what are the three major elements of the universe?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"It seems to be...matter, energy...right! Is there still a piece of information missing?" Director Yan graduated from a top-notch university, and he still has the most basic comprehensive scientific literacy.
"That's right! The absorption of nutrition by the human body is actually similar to the energy exchange between the sun, moon and stars in the universe based on a certain mass, thereby completing the exchange of beneficial or harmful information, thereby maintaining the most basic balance of the universe. In this state of balance, the earth has lived safely for about 4.5 billion years, right? The absorption of nutrition by the human body is roughly similar to this, so...the so-called experts' talk of purified nutrition intake is actually misleading people into a pseudo-scientific circle. Most practitioners in our traditional Chinese medicine community have always been strongly opposed to this. For this reason, when I have more free time, I plan to I'll write a paper about it and see if it can be published! "
"Oh... so profound! No wonder many people say that Chinese medicine is a very special metaphysics in a sense."
"Hehe... Director Yan is joking. Nutrition intake is actually quite complicated. In short, you have lost your integrity in this regard. If you focus on one thing and lose another, won't your body have problems over time? It sounds a bit confusing. Let me give you an example. When you eat ugly oranges, isn't there a layer of white mesh on the outer layer of the orange petals? You usually eat it carefully, so you tear it all off and throw it away, right?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"Yes! That will affect the taste! It must be peeled clean, right?"
"No! In our traditional Chinese medicine, that layer of white mesh is a good medicine for purging fire, especially for purging heart fire, and the effect is more obvious. It's a good thing! Let me tell you another thing. When cooking tomatoes, many people like to scald the skin and throw it away. First, it is not very beautiful, and second, it will get stuck in the throat when eaten. There are also those meticulous ladies who eat big red dates, especially those that have been steamed and boiled. They have to spit out all the outer skin. Over time, at least half of the nutrition is lost." At this point, Bian Mu was a little thirsty, so he poured himself a bowl of digestive soup, without using a spoon, and took a few sips in his hand.
"Does it mean that in the future, try to keep the integrity of food? So as to ensure the integrity of nutritional intake?"
"It's about the same. That's what I mean. In addition, you usually eat too fine food. Now you purify the so-called nutrients and take them directly. You have experienced the consequences yourself. Haha... Therefore, I suggest that your family should eat a combination of coarse and fine food in the future. The more natural the better. Otherwise, except for Ms. Suhua, you and your daughter will suffer from malnutrition in the future. In layman's terms, you will suffer from poverty." At this point, Bian Mu smiled.
Director Yan was willing to believe that what Bian Mu said should make sense, but after all, he had been brainwashed for several years. For a while, he could not fully understand some logical details.
Seeing that he still had some doubts, Bian Mu smiled and told him an interesting story.
"Director Yan! Have you ever seen the process of a butterfly transforming from a cocoon to a butterfly?"
"I haven't seen it myself, but I like to watch documentaries, and I have a deep impression of classic shots in this regard."
"Then... the whole process of a butterfly transforming from a cocoon to a beautiful butterfly is actually quite difficult, and it's a bit painful to watch. I wonder if Director Yan feels the same way?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"Yes, the process of sublimation and upgrading always comes at a price."
"Then... we will use sharp scissors to cut off the remaining pupa shells for them. Do you think the butterfly will still fly?" At this point, Bian Mu smiled meaningfully.
Director Yan is a person with high IQ. When he heard this, he suddenly realized it.
"Ah... it makes sense... butterflies have to go through a complete life experience process before they can finally have the ability to fly freely... then... the same is true for nutrient intake and absorption, it makes sense!" Director Yan suddenly realized.
"In colleges and universities, recommended students are often not as good as students who pass the formal college entrance examination, and it is more difficult to get results, isn't it?" Bian Mu continued to enlighten.
Director Yan now understood everything.
