The Mid Autumn Festival is coming, and the Tonic Diet mooncakes, which focus on "the same source of medicine and food", are favored by many people and become a new highlight of holiday consumption. The concept of "medicine and food sharing the same origin" is an important idea in traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation, emphasizing the integration of medicine and food. The concept of using ingredients to nourish the body and mind has long been integrated into people's daily lives, from Poria cocos cakes to goji berry tea. Nowadays, many local TCM hospitals have launched characteristic Tonic Diet mooncakes: Zhejiang TCM hospitals have launched the "Five Elements Mooncake", which is compatible with the five elements theory of TCM. Water money is beneficial to the kidney and essence, while gold money is nourishing the heart and calming the nerves; Yangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has launched 12 products, which are formulated by experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to achieve the integration of deliciousness and nutrition. These mooncakes often use low oil and low sugar processes, which not only continue tradition but also inject new healthy ideas. The ingredients selected for Tonic Diet mooncakes, such as Poria cocos for strengthening the spleen and calming the heart, lotus seeds for tonifying the kidney and astringent, and Job's tears for promoting moisture absorption, are all common therapeutic materials, and moderate consumption has a certain conditioning effect. However, in essence, Tonic Diet mooncakes are still food, which cannot replace drug therapy, and should not be overextended due to the "health" label. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes dialectical treatment and is not suitable for everyone. Blindly consuming it may carry hidden risks. In the final analysis, whether Tonic Diet mooncakes can continue to grow red depends on whether the products are worthy of the name and whether the market is standardized and orderly. For ordinary consumers, whether ordinary mooncakes or Tonic Diet mooncakes, proper consumption is the key. Small mooncakes carry the bond of reunion and reflect the improvement of people's health awareness. The popularity of Tonic Diet mooncakes is a vivid reflection of the increasingly popular concept of health, and also reflects the upgrading of people's pursuit of quality life. We are pleased to see the vitality of traditional wisdom in modern life, and we also look forward to the healthy development of the market in a standardized manner, so that consumers can enjoy the charm of Mid Autumn Festival while receiving genuine health gifts.
