脉∶气口脉紧盛为伤食，食不消化，浮滑而痰。一云∶五味淡薄，令人神爽气清。盖酸多伤脾，咸多伤心，
苦多伤肺，甘多伤肾，辛多伤肝，尤忌生冷硬物。
节调饮食说∶夫脾者，阴气也。静则神藏，燥则消亡，饮食自倍，肠胃乃伤。谓食物无务于多，贵在能节，
所以保和而遂颐养也。若贪多务饱，饫塞难消，徒损暗伤，以招疾患。盖食物饱甚，耗气非一，或食不下而上涌
呕吐以耗灵源；或饮不消而作痰咯唾以耗神水；大便频数而泄，耗谷气之化生；溲便滑利而浊，耗源泉之浸润。
至于精清冷而下漏，汗淋沥而下泄，莫不由食物之过伤，滋味之太浓。如能节满意之食，省爽口之味，常不至于
饱甚者，即顿顿必无伤物，物皆为益，糟粕变化，早晚溲便，按时精华，和凝上下，津液含蓄，神气内守，荣卫
外固，邪毒不能犯，疾病无由作。故圣人立言垂教为养生之大经也。
伤食者，只因多餐饮食，脾虚运化不及，停于胸腹，饱闷恶心、恶食不食、嗳气作酸、下泄臭屁、或腹痛吐
泻，重则发热头疼，左手关脉平和、右手关脉紧盛，是伤食也。初起一吐即宽；若郁久不化，成食积也。
脾胃俱实，能食而肥，过时不饥，多食不伤也；脾胃俱虚，不食而瘦，与食则减食，不与食则不思，饥饱不

丸，得吐泻而愈。
脉象：气口脉紧盛是伤食的表现，食物不能消化；若脉浮滑则提示有痰。另一种说法认为：五味清淡，能使人精神清爽、气息清和。然而酸味过多会损伤脾脏，咸味过多会损伤心脏，苦味过多会损伤肺脏，甘味过多会损伤肾脏，辛味过多会损伤肝脏，尤其应当忌讳生冷坚硬的食物。
饮食调摄说：脾脏属于阴气。安静时神志内藏，躁动时精气消亡，如果饮食过量一倍，肠胃就会受到损伤。意思是食物不在于多，贵在能够节制，这样才能保持和谐并达到颐养天年的目的。如果贪多务饱，吃得太饱导致堵塞难以消化，只会暗中损耗元气，从而招致疾病。大概食物吃得过饱，耗气的途径不止一种：有的因食物不下而向上涌出呕吐，从而耗损先天之本（灵源）；有的因饮水不消而变成痰液咯吐，从而耗损津液（神水）；有的大便频数而泄泻，耗损由谷物化生的谷气；有的小便滑利而浑浊，耗损源泉的浸润作用。至于精液清冷而下漏，汗液淋漓而下泄，无不是由于食物过度损伤、滋味过于浓厚所致。如果能节制满足口腹之欲的饮食，减少爽口的美味，经常不至于吃得太饱，那么每顿饭都不会伤害身体，食物都能转化为益处，糟粕顺利变化，早晚大小便正常，按时摄取精华，上下和气凝结，津液含蓄体内，神气内守，营卫之气固护于外，邪毒就不能侵犯，疾病也就无从发生。所以圣人立言垂教，将其作为养生的重要准则。
伤食病，只因为进食过多，脾气虚弱运化不及，食物停滞在胸腹部，出现饱闷恶心、厌恶食物或不想进食、嗳气泛酸、下泄臭屁，或者腹痛吐泻，严重的会出现发热头痛。左手关脉平和、右手关脉紧盛，这就是伤食。初起时通过催吐即可缓解；如果郁结日久不化，就形成食积。
脾胃都结实的人，能吃而且肥胖，过了吃饭时间也不觉得饿，多吃也不会受伤；脾胃都虚弱的人，不吃东西却消瘦，给吃东西就少吃一点，不给吃就不想吃，对饥饱没有感觉。吃得少却肥胖的人，虽然肥胖但四肢无力抬举，这是因为脾被邪气所胜；吃得多却消瘦的人，是因为胃中伏藏火邪在气分，所以虽然能吃，但多吃也不能生长肌肉。
伤食兼夹气滞感受寒邪的，适宜采用消食、顺气、解表散寒的方法治疗。

Pulse: A tight and full pulse at the Qi Kou (radial artery point) indicates food stagnation, where food fails to digest; a floating and slippery pulse suggests phlegm. Another view holds that mild flavors refresh the spirit and clear the qi. However, excessive sourness damages the Spleen, excessive saltiness damages the Heart, excessive bitterness damages the Lung, excessive sweetness damages the Kidney, and excessive pungency damages the Liver. One must particularly avoid raw, cold, and hard foods.
On Dietary Regulation: The Spleen belongs to Yin Qi. In stillness, the Shen (Spirit) is stored; in dryness/agitation, it perishes. If food intake doubles, the intestines and stomach are injured. This means food quantity is not as important as moderation, which maintains harmony and promotes nourishment. Greedily eating until full causes blockage and indigestion, secretly depleting vital energy and inviting disease. Excessive eating consumes energy through various pathways: vomiting due to inability to ingest depletes the "spiritual source" (congenital essence); inability to absorb fluids leading to phlegm and saliva depletes "divine water" (body fluids); frequent diarrhea depletes the transformation of grain qi; turbid urination depletes the moistening of the source. Leakage of clear, cold essence or profuse sweating all stem from overindulgence in food and rich flavors. By moderating appetite and reducing flavorful foods, avoiding excess, each meal benefits the body. Waste transforms smoothly, bowel movements and urination occur on time, essence is absorbed, upper and lower harmonize, fluids are retained, Shen remains inward, Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi solidify the exterior, pathogens cannot invade, and disease does arise. Thus, sages established these teachings as the great principle of health preservation.
Food Stagnation Disease arises solely from overeating, where weak Spleen Qi fails to transport and transform, causing food to stagnate in the chest and abdomen. Symptoms include fullness, nausea, aversion to food or anorexia, belching with acid reflux, passing foul gas, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Severe cases present with fever and headache. A peaceful Guan pulse on the left hand and a tight, full Guan pulse on the right hand indicate food stagnation. Initially, inducing vomiting brings relief; if stagnation persists and fails to resolve, it becomes Food Accumulation.
When both Spleen and Stomach are solid, one eats well and is fat; hunger does not come when meals are overdue, and overeating does not cause injury. When both are deficient, one is thin without eating; eating reduces appetite further, and not eating leads to no desire for food, lacking awareness of hunger or fullness. Those who eat little but are fat have limbs that are difficult to lift because the Spleen is overcome by pathogenic factors. Those who eat much but are thin have latent Fire Evil in the Stomach's Qi level, allowing them to eat but preventing muscle growth despite large intake.
For Food Stagnation complicated by Qi stagnation and Cold invasion, treatment should focus on resolving food, regulating Qi, and releasing the exterior to dispel Cold.

Case 1: A patient suffered severe epigastric and abdominal pain after sexual exertion, consuming over ten persimmons, several bowls of cold water, and shortly after, several bowls of hot noodles. Pulse was deep and faint at six positions, slightly large at Qi Kou. This was Cold-Heat clashing. One dose of Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus), Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma), and Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma) stopped the pain immediately. Subsequent generalized fever was resolved with one dose of Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction).
Case 2: In December, a patient ate several jin of lamb after gambling. The cold fat from the lamb froze, blocking the chest and diaphragm, causing fatal distension. Physicians were helpless. I found pulses present in all six positions. I used a large jar of yellow wine, warmed it in a large tub, had the patient sit in it, and had assistants gently pat the chest, abdomen, and back. Two people blew into his ears, and hot liquor was administered orally. Then, Wan Yi Wan (Trillion Pills) were given, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea, leading to recovery.
