After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

After Mrs. Lin fell asleep, Ding Xirui returned to her own courtyard. She discussed with her sister-in-law Wen Yuexin and decided that they would take turns to take care of her. That afternoon, her sister-in-law was on "duty".

Regarding osteoporosis, there are indeed some points that need to be paid attention to in daily life. For example, the salt used in meals should be controlled, meals should be paired with foods rich in calcium, daily sun exposure should be paid attention to supplement vitamin D, and moderate physical activity should be performed to increase bone mass. There are some things that the doctor did not mention, so there is no need to rush. She plans to arrange them when she is "on duty".

Banxia came back from delivering the clothes, walking in the rain, her hands red from the cold. Ding Xirui quickly took her to the small kitchen to warm up by the fire, and then cooked a pot of ginger soup.

"Young Madam, the clinic is busy today, and the young master won't be back until the evening." Banxia Nuan turned over and spoke to Ding Xirui.

"Okay, I understand." Ding Xirui said.

After the ginger soup was cooked, Ding Xirui asked everyone in the courtyard to drink a bowl. The winter rain was cold, but with the comfort of ginger soup, it was not so unbearable.

At night, Banxia prepared a small brazier and placed it in the main hall. She read a book while waiting for Lin Mingxuan to come home for dinner. She had to find relevant knowledge in the medical books to make full preparations for her arrangements with Mrs. Lin the next day.

First, less salt. The doctor has already told us to eat light food, so we can borrow this point. Second, calcium supplementation. Soy products are rich in calcium, so we can continue to emphasize this. However, it would be better if we drink some milk. But Ding Xirui has not seen milk in such a long time since she came here. This is normal, because milk is not a traditional oriental food, so it is naturally hard to find. She flipped through the "Dietary Materia Medica" and saw the chapter "Goat's Milk". Her eyes lit up, "replenishing liver and kidney qi", "curing asthenia", and "benefiting essence and qi". From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is symptomatic; from the perspective of modern nutrition, goat milk supplements calcium. My wife probably can't stand drinking goat milk on an empty stomach, so we can make some soup with goat milk or add it to snacks. Eating some every day will be very helpful for her illness.

Then, he coaxed Mrs. Lin to go out and bask in the sun and do some appropriate physical activities. Doctors all know that basking in the sun is "natural moxibustion". People with weak constitutions need warming and nourishing. It is no problem to coax Mrs. Lin out with this reason, but she should be asked to expose a little skin. Physical activities are not easy to do. Although the wife of a family has to take care of the family's affairs, most of the time she just talks and walks around. How can he let her do some physical work? Ding Xirui fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Mingxuan came back at some point.

When Ding Xirui looked up, Lin Mingxuan had already walked in front of her.

"Oh, nothing, I was thinking about my mother's condition." Ding Xirui said hurriedly. She knew that the relationship between Lin Mingxuan and Mrs. Lin was a bit complicated, so she decided to call her "mother" in private instead of the more intimate name "mother".

"I just went there and I'm much better now. Don't worry," said Lin Mingxuan.

"Okay, it's time to eat, I'll go serve the dishes." Ding Xirui got up and went to the kitchen.

"Master, the young mistress is obviously waiting for you, it's not 'just right'." Nanxing said.

Lin Mingxuan glared at him, then got up and went to the kitchen. Nanxing stuck out her tongue and followed him.

After the food was served, Ding Xirui first served a bowl of ginger soup to Lin Mingxuan, and then began to think about the problem that she had not figured out just now.

"Does mother like to grow flowers?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Why are you asking this? As far as I know, there is no such thing." Lin Mingxuan became puzzled.

"Does she raise fish?" Ding Xirui asked.

"No, there are none in her yard. You should have noticed that." Lin Mingxuan was even more confused.

"Then is there any way to let Madam walk around and do some physical work?" Ding Xirui began to mutter to himself.

"Why do you want her to do physical work?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"Hmm..." Ding Xirui woke up from his thoughts.

"Well, well, the doctor said that my mother needs to eat more to help her recover. So I thought of letting her do something that requires energy to get her body moving and stimulate her appetite," Ding Xirui explained.

"Well... there is a way." Lin Mingxuan said after thinking for a moment.

"What?" Ding Xirui moved closer to Lin Mingxuan.

Lin Mingxuan straightened up, feeling embarrassed. Ding Xirui realized the problem and immediately returned to his seat.

"My eldest brother has planted a lot of medicinal herbs in his yard, and they need to be watered and taken care of on a daily basis. My mother would be happy if I could help him do these things," Lin Mingxuan explained.

"That's great!" Ding Xirui clapped his hands, which made Lin Mingxuan stunned.

"Sorry, I'm too excited. Let's eat." Ding Xirui quickly served Lin Mingxuan a bowl of soup. Now there is no problem. Let's finalize the plan tomorrow, discuss it with my sister-in-law, and then let Ruyi cooperate. It's great.

Lin Mingxuan looked at Ding Xirui and smiled bitterly.

"I hope my mother won't treat you the same way she treats me." Lin Mingxuan thought silently.

Thinking about Madam Lin, Ding Xirui thought of Ding's mother, wondering if she was doing well recently. Because Madam Lin passed away suddenly, everyone was busy, and she and Lin Mingxuan had not returned home yet. Originally, Ding Xirui wanted to mention it to Madam Lin in the next two days, but the lady fell ill again, so she had to postpone it for a few more days.

Lin's mother, Ding's mother, and many other mothers and elderly people may all be facing the threat of osteoporosis. She wants to be a food doctor, facing the public, and her focus cannot be limited to one or two people. Thinking of this, Ding Xirui suddenly had an idea and said to Lin Mingxuan:

"You must have met someone with the same illness as your mother in the clinic."

"Well, this disease is common when you get older," Lin Mingxuan replied.

"Can this disease be prevented?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Prevention?" Lin Mingxuan paused.

"The best doctor treats illness before it occurs, the middle doctor treats illness that is about to occur, and the worst doctor treats illness that has already occurred." He thought of the concept of "treating illness before it occurs" in "Qian Jin Fang" and recited these three sentences.

"Well, it's 'disease before it's serious'. If we can give people some reminders and let them pay more attention in their daily lives, for example, starting from a young age to eat more foods that nourish the liver and kidneys so that the body can have some reserves, then when they are old, they will be less prone to illness, right?" Ding Xirui said.

What she learned told her that the body is like a bank. By storing some essential nutrients in it from a young age, the body can increase its peak bone mass so that when bone loss occurs in old age, the body will not be unable to bear it all at once. This is consistent with the principle of "treating a disease before it occurs."

Lin Mingxuan listened to Ding Xirui's words and felt admiration in his heart. He knew the three sentences of the King of Medicine by heart, but now he was busy treating "existing diseases" and had no time to sort out the methods, let alone think about how to publicize it to benefit his neighbors. He felt a little ashamed.

"Why, is it not possible?" Seeing that Lin Mingxuan did not answer, Ding Xirui began to ask.

"Yes, of course. I will discuss with my brother tomorrow to see what would be best to do in the clinic." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"Well, that's great." Ding Xirui was very happy. Although she didn't come in person, she could do it through Lin Mingxuan, and the effect would be the same. Just exert influence little by little, and after a while, maybe he would ask to go to the clinic to help, Ding Xirui thought silently.
