Skillful use of medicinal diets for summer treatment of chronic bronchitis patients

Chronic bronchitis in the elderly (commonly known as "old chronic bronchitis") is the most common disease among the elderly and often recurs. It is especially severe in the cold autumn and winter seasons, while summer is a relatively remission period for patients with old chronic bronchitis. If treated at this time, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. This also reflects the idea of "treating the root cause of the disease by seeking the root cause" and "treating winter diseases in summer" in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern medical research has proved that the defense system of the lungs is closely related to proteins, sulfur-containing amino acids, nucleic acids, vitamins A, C, E and trace elements such as copper, iron and selenium in the diet. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the long-term non-healing of chronic bronchitis is related to deficiency of both the lung and spleen and insufficiency of the lung and kidney. Therefore, during the summer remission period of old Manbronchitis patients, they should not only pay attention to dietary nutrition but also choose to take some medicinal diets that strengthen the spleen, nourish the lungs, and tonify the lungs and kidneys.

When the chicken is tender, season it with seasonings, drink the soup and eat the meat. It can be eaten in 3 to 4 portions. If taken persistently for a month, Astragalus membranaceus can "enter the lungs and tonify qi." "Entering the exterior and reinforcing the body", it is the best among all qi-tonifying herbs. When stewed together with black-boned chicken, which has the function of nourishing the kidneys and enriching the blood, it jointly works to tonify qi and nourish the lungs, consolidate the exterior and prevent colds, and nourish the kidneys and enrich the blood.
