Xiaoxue solar terms health maintenance

Light snow is the twentieth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the second solar term after winter. At this time, the temperature will be lower and lower, and in some places the temperature has dropped to zero. In addition to paying attention to cold and warmth, we should also make corresponding adjustments in our diet. There is an old saying: "Light snow can make up, and spring can kill tigers." This solar term is very suitable for nourishing the body. Some people think that since it is nourishing, you must eat more meat, but it is not. Especially for middle-aged and elderly friends, eating too much meat will increase the burden on the body. What exactly should I eat? Here, I suggest that everyone be 2 yellow and 2 red, so as to spend the whole winter healthily.

First of all, let's introduce 2 yellow. One of them is Xiaomi, which is called "the head of miscellaneous grains" by the people. It is rich in protein, vitamins and various trace elements, and its dietary fiber is four times that of rice. And winter is a very suitable time to nourish the body. Drinking more millet porridge in light snow season can not only supplement nutrition, but also keep warm.

The second one is pumpkin. Pumpkin is soft, waxy, sweet and nutritious. Now there are two kinds of pumpkins that are very delicious, one is chestnut pumpkin and the other is Beibei pumpkin. These two kinds of pumpkins have little water content, especially sweet taste and cheap price. Whether it is made into pumpkin pie or boiled into pumpkin porridge, it is very delicious and is one of the ingredients suitable for Xiaoxue this season.

In addition to eating two more Huang Zhi this season, we have to eat two more red wines. The first kind is beef, which nourishes in winter. The preferred meat is beef. Beef is rich in protein and trace elements, especially the fat content is relatively low. Eating more is not afraid of getting fat. It is recommended to stew beef brisket with tomatoes or potatoes with beef.

The second kind is hawthorn. Hawthorn is a seasonal fruit in winter. Sour, appetizing, rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. It has high nutritional value. Eating hawthorn in winter is good for your health. The recommended practice is to cook with rock sugar, which is sweet and sour and delicious, and both adults and children like to eat it.

Here are four kinds of health foods suitable for winter, and here are some foods that are not suitable for winter. The temperature of the light snow solar term drops, and the air humidity is also falling. Some people get angry easily and feel thirsty. Avoid eating some spicy food at this time.

.

The second is to eat less food with too strong a taste. For example, we don't put salt when cooking, but put it when we are out of the pot. If the salt is put too early, it will enter the dish. In this case, if you put less salt, it will be tasteless. If you cook, the salt will adhere to the surface of the dish, and a little salt will taste. Some people like to eat pickles while drinking porridge, but the salt in pickles is very high, which is not good for health, so reduce the salt intake when eating.
