Don't make up, choose the most "suitable" winter food
1. Qi deficiency: jujube
Efficacy: replenish deficiency, replenish qi, nourish blood and calm the nerves, and eat more often if you have insufficient qi and blood, fatigue and weakness, insomnia and dreams.
In winter, people often don't sleep enough, especially when it's gray outside the window, and time slips away unconsciously. You can often eat dates as snacks, millet and date Congee, steamed dates Mantou, soybeans and date soybean milk are all good choices.
2. Yang deficiency: ginger
Efficacy: Dispel cold and relieve external symptoms, reduce nausea and vomiting, and relieve phlegm and cough. Cold, cold, fever, headache, stuffy nose, vomiting, fullness, all edible.
It is said to eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, but this method is not suitable for the yang deficiency of spleen and stomach, cold hands and feet, and cold feet to the knees. Yang deficiency requires ginger to warm the body in all seasons, especially in cold winter.
It's cold. It's easy to get sour when eating. It's distended and indigestible. It feels cold. You can eat ginger slices soaked in vinegar, which is appetizing and warm, and add more ginger to stir-fry dishes. The all-purpose brown sugar ginger water is the best friend of yang deficiency.
3. Yin deficiency: sea cucumber
Efficacy: tonify kidney and essence, moisten dryness, strengthen waist and tendons, nourish meridians and blood, nourish blood and blood, moisturize skin and beautify skin. It is especially suitable for people with loss of blood essence, dry intestines, constipation and dry skin.
Yin deficiency is easy to dry, and cold in winter, especially those thin people who can't eat fat in the dry north. But in fact, the "fire" of yin and deficiency is all empty fire. Don't touch cold drinks and food just taken out of the refrigerator. Eating cold food without restraint will hurt the spleen and stomach, and make the body more troublesome.
Yin deficiency must not only nourish, but also nourish. Only when the blood is enough can the body really moisturize. Sea cucumbers are the best ingredients. Sea cucumbers braised with scallions, sea cucumbers Congee in casserole, sea cucumbers with scallops and turnip soup are all delicious.
4. Phlegm-wet quality: white radish
Efficacy: dispel stagnation, relieve cough and phlegm, and widen the middle and lower qi. It has certain dietotherapy effect on fullness of food, phlegm and cough, chest and diaphragm fullness, lung dryness and other conditions.
The weather is cold in winter, drinking less water and eating more easily. The typical phlegm-dampness quality says that the body will have hard acne, which can not rise and disappear, and the large one is horizontal there. This is phlegm.
In winter, the body is in a state of collection, the skin is less open, the metabolism is also slow, and more phlegm will accumulate in the body due to phlegm and dampness. At this time, white radish is the most delicious food, and is the most suitable food for phlegm and dampness. Radish scallop soup, shredded radish shrimp ball soup and shredded radish steamed bun are all very delicious. Radish is the sweetest in winter.
5. Damp and hot: yam
Efficacy: replenish qi, strengthen spleen, help digestion, nourish kidney and essence, benefit lung and stop cough. It is especially suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, deficiency of lung qi and dryness, heat and thirst.
Damp-heat quality is the same as yin deficiency quality. Although it is hot, it cannot be too cold. Be sure to moisturize and nourish. Chinese yam is a kind of omnipotent food, which can mildly moisturize hot and humid substances, but will not be cold. Chinese yam millet porridge, Chinese yam sesame Congee, Chinese yam purple potato cake, Chinese yam fried agaric, etc. are all suitable for eating in hot and humid conditions.
6. Blood stasis: hawthorn
Efficacy: It can eliminate meat accumulation, help digestion, disperse blood stasis, and have a good conditioning effect on abdominal pain caused by stasis.
There is nothing more suitable for blood stasis than hawthorn. Hawthorn jam is very delicious with whole wheat bread for breakfast. It is accompanied by warm soybean milk or milk. For girls with abdominal pain during menstruation, starting to eat daily before menstruation can effectively relieve abdominal pain. Hawthorn and jujube Congee is also appetizing and invigorating the spleen. If the blood stasis has dissipated, the face will not be dull, and the complexion will be better, and people will be bright and beautiful.
7. Qi stagnation quality: kumquat
Efficacy: regulate qi and relieve depression, relieve phlegm and cough, and eliminate food and alcohol. It is suitable for people who are depressed in the chest, do not want to eat, or are full of food, drunk and thirsty.
Kumquat is a good fruit in winter. You must eat it with the skin. Just wash it with warm water before eating. Not to mention the orange itself can regulate qi and relieve depression. When you bite the peel and carry the flesh, the fresh orange peel and sweet flesh are enough to make people feel good. When Xiaobian was anxious, he ate a few kumquats washed by his colleagues and girls. He was in a good mood and kept seeds for planting next spring.
8. Special quality: japonica rice
Efficacy: japonica rice is suitable for cooking Congee, and Congee rice is the first tonic in the world. (In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Mengying's Diet Manual of Living with Rest) Nourishes yin and strength, replenishes fluid and essence, and strengthens the foundation and qi.
