（阴之所生。本于五味。人之五脏。味能伤耗。善养生者。以淡食为主。）
【水】
井泉平旦晨汲最佳。味淡大益人。资生日用。不齿其功。不可一日缺也。诸泉水。以雨
水为最。
【盐】
多食伤肺。走血损筋。令人色黑。
【酱】
纯豆酿成。不宜煮鲫鱼。食令生疮。
【酒】
味辛。多食之体软神昏。是其有毒也。惟略饮数杯。御风寒。通血脉。壮脾胃而已。若
常饮过多。即薰心神。生痰动火。甚则损肠烂胃。伤神损寿。凡中药毒，及一切毒。从酒得
者。难治。盖酒能引毒入经络也。夜饮不可过多。盖睡而就枕。热壅伤心伤目。夜气收敛。
酒以发之。伤其清明。饮食聚中。停湿生痰。又能助火动欲。因而不谨致病。总之切莫大醉。
【醋】
多食损脾胃。坏人颜色。敷痈肿能消。壁虎最喜吃醋。要藏紧密。若被沾吸，毒能杀人。
【茶】
气清能解山岚障疠之气。江洋露雾之毒。及五辛炙 之热。宜少饮。多饮去人脂。最忌

【饴糖】
进食健胃。多食发脾风。损齿。湿热中满人忌。
（阴气的生成，根本在于五味。人的五脏，味道过度会损伤消耗。善于养生的人，以清淡饮食为主。）
【水】
井泉水在清晨时分汲取最佳。味道淡，对人大有益处。它是日常生活的必需品，人们往往不计数它的功劳，但不可一日缺少它。各种泉水中，以雨水为最好。
【酱】
由纯大豆酿造而成。不宜与鲫鱼一起煮食。吃了会长疮。
【酒】
味道辛。多吃会使身体松软、神志昏沉，这是因为它有毒性。只有略微喝几杯，才能抵御风寒，疏通血脉，强壮脾胃罢了。如果经常饮用过多，就会熏扰心神，生痰动火，甚至损伤肠道、腐蚀胃腑，伤害精神，折损寿命。凡是中药中毒，以及一切毒物，借助酒力进入体内的，都难以治疗。因为酒能引导毒气进入经络。夜间饮酒不可过多。因为睡觉躺下后，热气壅滞，会伤心伤目。夜间的空气收敛，酒却发散阳气，这会损伤人体的清明之气。饮食积聚在中焦，停滞湿气产生痰饮，又能助长火势、激发欲望，因此如果不谨慎就会致病。总之千万不要大醉。
【醋】
多吃损伤脾胃，败坏人的容貌色泽。外敷痈肿能使其消散。壁虎最喜欢吃醋。要紧密收藏。如果被壁虎沾吸，其毒性能杀人。
【茶】
气味清轻，能解除山间雾气瘴疠之气、江河湖海露水雾霭之毒，以及五辛炙烤食物的热邪。适宜少饮。多喝会耗损人体脂肪。最忌讳空腹饮茶，会严重损伤肾气。清晨喝茶、黄昏吃饭，都适宜少吃。饭后漱口可以坚固牙齿。
【红糖】
就是沙糖。多吃损伤牙齿头发，导致疳积，消瘦肌肉。引起心痛，体内生虫。小儿尤其忌讳。同鲫鱼一起吃患疳积病。同笋一起吃生痰。同葵菜一起吃产生流注（一种慢性化脓性疾病）。能去除败血。产后宜用滚开的热水冲服。
(The generation of Yin is rooted in the Five Flavors. The Five Zang organs of humans can be injured and depleted by flavors. Those who are good at health preservation prioritize a bland diet.)
[Water]
Well water drawn at dawn is best. Its bland flavor is greatly beneficial to humans. It serves as a daily necessity, yet people rarely count its merits; however, it cannot be lacking for a single day. Among various spring waters, rainwater is considered the finest.
[Salt]
Excessive consumption injures the Lung. It disperses blood and damages tendons, causing the complexion to turn dark.
[Paste (Jiang)]
Brewed from pure soybeans. It should not be boiled with crucian carp, as consuming them together may cause sores to develop.
[Liquor/Wine]
Its flavor is acrid (Pungent). Excessive consumption leads to a soft body and confused spirit, indicating its toxicity. Only drinking a few cups slightly can ward off wind-cold, unblock blood vessels, and strengthen the Spleen and Stomach. If consumed excessively on a regular basis, it will smoke the Heart Spirit, generate phlegm and stir up fire, even damaging the intestines and rotting the stomach, harming the spirit and shortening longevity. Any herbal drug toxicity or all kinds of toxins that enter the body via liquor are difficult to treat, because liquor can guide toxins into the meridians. Nighttime drinking should not be excessive. When sleeping and lying down, heat becomes stagnant, injuring the Heart and eyes. The night air is convergent, while liquor disperses; this harms one's clarity and purity. Food and drink accumulate in the Middle Jiao, stagnating dampness and generating phlegm, while also assisting fire and stirring desires. Consequently, lack of caution leads to disease. In summary, one must absolutely avoid getting heavily drunk.
[Vinegar]
Excessive consumption damages the Spleen and Stomach and ruins the complexion. Applied externally to carbuncles and swellings, it can reduce them. Geckos have a strong preference for vinegar. It must be stored tightly sealed. If touched or sucked by a gecko, its poison can be fatal.
[Tea]
Its clear and light qi can resolve the miasma and pestilential qi of mountainous regions, the toxicity of river and lake mists, and the heat from roasted five-spice foods. It is suitable to drink in moderation. Drinking too much depletes body fat. The greatest taboo is drinking tea on an empty stomach, which severely injures Kidney Qi. Morning tea and evening meals should both be consumed in small amounts. Rinsing the mouth after eating strengthens the teeth.
[White Sugar]
Moistens the Five Zang organs. Excessive consumption generates phlegm.
[Red Sugar]
Also known as Sha Tang (Sand Sugar). Excessive consumption damages teeth and hair, causes infantile malnutrition (Gan syndrome), and emaciates muscles. It causes heart pain and parasitic infestation. Children especially should avoid it. Consuming it with crucian carp leads to Gan syndrome. Consuming it with bamboo shoots generates phlegm. Consuming it with Malva verticillata (Kui vegetable) causes flowing abscesses (Liu Nong). It can eliminate stale blood. For postpartum women, it should be taken hot with boiling water.
[Maltose (Yi Tang)]
Promotes appetite and strengthens the Stomach when eaten. Excessive consumption induces Spleen Wind and damages teeth. It is contraindicated for those with damp-heat and fullness in the Middle Jiao.
