What food is the best to keep fit during the slight cold season?

1, Eat Laba porridge: Every time there is a slight cold solar term, there is an important folk custom in the "slight cold" solar term of diet, which is to eat Laba porridge. The Chronicle of Yanjing records: "Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut, red cowpea and peeled jujube paste. And dyed with red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and grapes for external use. Laba porridge is also eaten on Laba Festival after slight cold, and then the annual flavor becomes stronger and stronger. Eating porridge is a health-preserving feast in China's food culture, and Laba porridge can really dispel cold and invigorate qi. Before and after the slight cold solar terms, eating such rich hot porridge at this time can not only stimulate appetite, but also increase calories in the body, thus warming the stomach and dispelling cold.

2, eat soybean sprouts: there are many customs in the cold solar terms, eating glutinous rice, laba porridge, rice, soybean sprouts and so on. Let's introduce the custom of eating soybean sprouts in the slight cold season. According to "Miscellanies of Jinmen", there was a custom of eating soybean sprouts in Tianjin in the old days. Soybean sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made of Chinese cabbage buds. In winter to the future, cut off the stems and leaves of cabbage, leaving only the heart of cabbage, about two inches from the ground, covered with manure, airtight. After half a month, it is crisp and tender, which makes up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. Modern people's living standards have improved, and all kinds of vegetables and meat are available all year round. They are no longer worried about the scarcity of vegetables in winter as in the past.

3, eat warm chicken soup: Old Nanjing also has the tonic habit of eating a chicken and an egg every day on the "September" day, so chicken soup and eggs are indispensable on the table of citizens on a small cold day. It is said that most of the nutrients in chicken bones and chicken will be dissolved in soup and easily absorbed by the human body when boiled slowly with slow fire. It is a good product for invigorating qi and enriching blood in winter and contains a lot of calcium.

4, eat mutton: "slight cold" is the coldest time of the year, people are easily attacked by the cold, the fastest and most effective way to resist the cold is not a cotton-padded coat, but a bowl of steaming mutton soup. Mutton is the most cost-effective warm tonic food. If you cook it with some angelica, yam and carrot, and season it with green onions and ginger, it is recommended to eat it once a week, which will not get angry and make winter warm.
