What food is better for Han Xiao to eat?

Slight cold is the 23rd solar term in 24 solar terms and the 5th solar term in winter. Counting nine cold days, the folk proverb says, "When it's a slight cold, it's 239, and I'm shivering with cold." There is also a saying that "a slight cold is not as good as a great cold." The arrival of slight cold marks the arrival of the coldest season of the year.

The health care before and after the slight cold solar terms should focus on warming yang to dispel cold and strengthening the body. Never relax because of a temporary recovery, beware of catching a cold.

As the saying goes, "It's freezing when it's cold." During the slight cold, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the food is more exquisite.

In mild cold weather, the temperature in many areas will basically drop to the lowest, so it is very important to take food supplements to resist the cold. Choose more warm foods and replenish calories and nutrition to your body in time. It is good to stew a bowl of warm soup with various ingredients, such as mutton and chicken.

2. Yellow bean sprouts

Eating soybean sprouts is a custom in a slight cold. Soybean sprouts actually refer to the buds of Chinese cabbage.

It tastes fresh, crisp and tender.

4. Drink chicken soup.

There is a nourishing custom of "eating a chicken every nine days", and Han Xiao wants to eat chicken on this day. Chicken is rich in nutritional value, its fat content is lower than that of pork and mutton, and it is easy to be absorbed after intake. The slight cold solar term is the coldest time in the weather. Drinking some hot chicken soup can keep out the cold without breeding internal fire. It is a good tonic.

5, eat vegetable rice.

There is a custom of eating a little cold vegetable rice. The so-called vegetable rice is fried with vegetables and rice. Of course, it is not limited to these two things. You can choose suitable side dishes according to your family's taste, such as bacon, sausage, ham, diced salted duck and so on.

From the point of view of healthy diet, you can eat more warm food to supplement your body and prevent the invasion of cold climate at this time.

"Notes of the Four Seasons" points out: "The taste of winter diet should be reduced to salty and bitter taste to nourish the heart. In winter, the kidney is salty, afraid of water and fire, and the heart is sick, so it is appropriate to nourish the heart. "

In winter, nourishing the kidney is the first thing, so we should pay attention to the conditioning of the kidney and the supplement of calories, but we should eat less salty and suffer more, so as to conform to the biochemical system of "five elements".

You can eat more animal foods and beans appropriately and supplement vitamins and inorganic salts. For example, mutton, beef, goose, soybean, walnut, chestnut, fungus, sesame, sweet potato and radish are all suitable foods in winter.

In addition, according to the "Five Elements" theory of TCM, black belongs to the kidney, and some black foods are not only rich in nutrition, but also mostly mild in taste, especially suitable for people who are weak in kidney qi and afraid of cold, such as black rice, black beans, black dates, black mushrooms, black sesame seeds, black fungus, black mulberry, black-bone chicken, soft-shelled turtle and konjac.

However, although the slight cold season is an excellent opportunity for tonic, tonic is not the same as eating a lot of supplements, so it should be targeted. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, it is best to make supplements according to their own physique under the guidance of professional Chinese medicine practitioners.
