Winter is the "sealing" period of the human body, but also a good season for tonic, the folk known as "winter tonic, the coming year to fight the tiger" said, this long-standing folk custom, but also proves that winter is the best time to maintain and accumulate in the four seasons.
But the tonic should be appropriate, do not be blind, but also vary from person to person, there is a saying that the void is not supplemented, and people who are physically weak should also be particularly vigilant, especially these 3 taboos, don't blindly "step on thunder".
The first taboo: avoid all supplements must be meat, the more expensive the more supplements
People with weak bodies, the general spleen and gastrointestinal tract are not too strong, it is better to eat some supplements that are easy to absorb, don't always think of tonic, that is, beef and mutton, and don't think of tonic, which is ginseng and deer antler velvet, these precious supplements.
These meat or precious tonics, most of them have a greasy nature, not suitable for the body is particularly weak, a lot of meat, it is easy to stagnate, accumulated in our stomach, and those very rare and precious supplements, in fact, have targeted problems, not our daily body, so, instead of choosing these ingredients, it is better to eat some normal health ingredients, these ingredients are suitable or not, and there is no difference between expensive and low.
Share some normal ingredients suitable for winter eating, which are not greasy and more comfortable after eating.
1.White radish: The folk is known to eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, radish contains vitamin A and C, eat raw to clear heat and generate Jin, fight against dryness in winter, cook to benefit the spleen and stomach, but also ventilation, then we eat and drink a lot of things clear.
2.Tremella: Tremella has the reputation of "the crown of fungi", it is not only a good nourishing product, but also a strong ingredient, and nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, slippery, stewed soft and glutinous is also delicious.
3.Tofu: Tofu is rich in quality and nutrition, containing iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and other minerals required by the human body, as well as sugars, vegetable oils and high-quality proteins, known as plant-based meat.
4.Cabbage: Although cabbage is cold, it nourishes the stomach, in addition to quenching thirst, rich in vitamin E and C, often eating cabbage also has the effect of moisturizing, and in winter, come to a bowl of hot rotten cabbage soup to eat, warm and comfortable.
5.Purple glutinous rice: Eating purple glutinous rice in winter can have a certain effect of nourishing and replenishing blood, such as excessive winter dryness, we are easy to lack qi and blood, so we can eat some purple glutinous rice.
6.Chestnut: Chestnut is a healthy dried fruit that can accompany a winter, on the one hand, it is rich in B vitamins and minerals, and it is the only nut that contains vitamin C, which is a must-have snack in winter.
These simple and common ingredients are all good helpers for us to nourish our body, don't form a directional thinking, thinking that only expensive or meat can nourish.
The second taboo: avoid heavy entry and light exit, the more blocked, the more supplemented
Our living conditions are different from the past, we can eat whatever we want, the general problems are propped out, and there are few hunger problems, but if we eat too much, the body's spleen and stomach can't absorb it, so it's all blocked in the stomach, and the swelling is uncomfortable.
This is our stomach blockage, at this time don't think about what to eat, but think about how to clean up these accumulated food.
In addition to the blockage we eat, there are also emotional, ideological blockage, now the information is extensive, each of us will be exposed to a lot of junk information, a lot of which will disturb our thinking, and some trivial things in life will make us overly worried, so that it is easy to be depressed, this part of the "qi" will be blocked in our body.
Whether it is a blockage of eating too much food, or an emotional blockage, it will be stalked in our body, if you eat some warm food, it is easy to get angry, if it is very stagnant, you can also eat it and regurgitate.
Therefore, we should not always think about how to eat, when we are free, we can help the body to clear up, if it is always bloated, then rub the stomach more, if it is always unsmooth and the mood is poor, then help to regulate the qi, there are some small methods below.
Abdominal kneading exercises: put the four fingers of both hands together, push evenly and firmly from the heart socket down to the navel, and massage about 20 times.
Put the four fingers of both hands together, from the lower position of the heart socket to the lower ribs in a figure-eight shape, and massage about 20 times.
Attach the thumbs of both hands to both sides of the waist, and press from top to bottom with both thumbs evenly, and repeatedly push and press about 20 times.
Liver Relaxation and Qi Exercises: Sit on a chair, sit upright, cross your fingers, and place them in front of our lower abdomen.
Turn your palms outward, raise your arms up, over your head, and breathe deeply.
Straighten your arms with palms facing up, then flip your palms over and slowly retract your arms into your lower abdomen.
After taking a deep breath and relaxing, this action can stretch our ribs and do it 50 to 100 times in a row, during which time to keep inhaling and exhaling.
If you feel that your body is more congested, we can also add some chicken gold powder in your daily diet, chicken gold is very common, every household used to have it, that is, a layer of yellow membrane in the chicken gizzard, the scientific name is the inner wall of the dry sand bag of chicken, which can be traced back to the earliest "Shennong Materia Medica".
Later, the first great doctor Zhang Xichun, but also applied the chicken gold to all aspects of the accumulation, chickens are omnivores, usually eat anything, whether it is grains, or insects, sand and gravel, all will be swallowed into the abdomen, and chickens have no teeth, these miscellaneous things are swallowed, by the chicken stomach grinding to pieces, Zhang Xichun is the use of this, the chicken gold applied to our human body.
It's just that the chicken gold is relatively fishy, many people don't like it, if we raise chickens at home, we can peel out the chicken gold and clean it repeatedly, then dry, fry, powder, and add it to the meal when eating, so as to reduce the bitter taste of the chicken gold.
For example, this chicken inner golden yam porridge is a "frequent visitor" of my house, the taste is not heavy, and it is suitable for both young and old. Prepare 15-20 grams of Chinese yam, 9 grams of chicken gold, and 150 grams of japonica rice. The yam and chicken inner gold are ground into fine powder, the pot is placed on the fire, an appropriate amount of clean water is put in, and then the rice, yam and inner gold are cooked together.
We can also directly prepare some gold powder in the chicken, which is more convenient to use, and the ground outside will be more delicate, which is easy to be absorbed by the body, and the taste will be better.
We have also prepared such a Huaishan gold powder for everyone, even the yam does not need to prepare by yourself, the selection of Henan Wen County's soil iron stick yam, is the best in the yam, the nutritional value is higher, and the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach is better.
In order to reconcile the taste, hawthorn and brown sugar are also added to it, sweet and sour, covering up the bitterness of the chicken inner gold, the chicken inner gold is selected for more than three years of free-range chicken inner gold, the chicken is only free-range, constantly eat some stones, sand grains, so that the chicken inner gold comes out to have the effect of stasis, if it is captive feed chickens, it is not healthy to eat, then the inner gold is not much nutritional value. And during the production process, it will also be washed and soaked many times to remove the fishy smell.
After scientific proportioning, it has been reconciled in terms of taste, the taste of chicken inner gold has been masked, with the harmony of hawthorn and brown sugar, there is some sweet and sour taste carefully, this Huaishan inner gold powder, you can add two spoonfuls directly when we stir-fry, pancakes, steamed steamed buns, and porridge, if it is too troublesome, you can also brew and drink directly with boiling water.
There are no messy additive preservatives, liquid paste, and middle-aged and elderly people like it very much.
The content of gold in the chicken here will be relatively high, and adults are more likely to accept it, and children may be more picky about the taste and are not used to eating, they can also choose to eat this pastry.
Not only the taste is good, the nutrition is rich a lot, the ingredients are some natural cereal fruits, natural and healthy, no preservatives and no additives, children can also eat with peace of mind, the ingredients are wheat flour, lotus seeds, barley, hawthorn, chicken gold, malt, poria cocos, yam, sand kernels, tangerine peel, white lentils, eggs, edible vegetable oil, maltitol liquid. This is a sugar substitute, it won't be very sweet, and it controls sugar, friends who can't eat sweet can also eat it, 0 sucrose.
Most of these ingredients are spleen and stomach, regulate qi and dissolve phlegm, as well as the accumulation and stasis of chicken gold, hawthorn and malt, one is good at all kinds of stagnation, one is good at meat accumulation, one is good at starch stagnation, all the ingredients are broken wall powdering, so that the nutrients inside can be better released, and wheat flour, eggs are kneaded into dough, and baked at low temperature to make pastries.
Smell, the unique eight kinds of food mixed with the grain fragrance to the nose, the delicate food, eating and crispy taste, the more chewing the more fragrant, after baking, the unique burnt aroma in the food is stimulated, this healthy and nutritious cereal pastry, is suitable for us and want to supplement nutrition, and afraid of the body blockage friends. Don't eat too much of 2 pieces a day.
The third taboo: avoid yin and yang, and make up for yin and yang
We observe some of the food recipes that we often eat, such as ginger angelica mutton soup, most of which are yang-replenishing, and in winter, we apply moxa and smoke mugwort, etc., in fact, they are all helping the body to warm and replenish yang, so that the body is easy to be yang and yin, but the dryness in winter is very heavy, especially in the north, and there is heating, every time in the north, it feels that the house will be uncomfortable.
Our body pays attention to a balance of yin and yang, can not be too biased yang or yin, yin and yang balance, the body will be healthy, qi and blood are interdependent, and many people are prone to fire in winter, and then the temperature is too much, that is to add fuel to the fire.
We can eat some yin-nourishing ingredients appropriately, so that yin and yang complement at the same time, and the commonly used yin-nourishing ingredients are lily, jade bamboo, black sesame seeds, etc.
Lily yin is mainly to nourish the liquid, moisturize the dry and calm the nerves, the lily is cool and moist, its shape is encapsulated like a ball, there is a collection of convergence image, can converge the floating yang of the outer Yue, calm the nerves. And this envelope also has good circulation, so the power of convergence is relatively gentle, and it can be slowly converged and nourished yin.
If you want to maximize the effect of lily nourishing yin, you don't need to match any white fungus red dates, you can directly make a lily chicken yellow soup, which is a classic food recipe in "Jin Kui Yaolu", nourishing yin and nourishing blood.
Prepare 50 grams of lily, 1 egg yolk, an appropriate amount of rock sugar, clean the lily, add low heat and cook for 2 and a half hours, beat in an egg yolk, stir and mix well, wait until it boils and then turn off the fire, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar.
Chicken yolk is egg yolk, lily nourishes yin, mainly jin liquid, needs to replenish blood, so use the flesh and blood of the egg yolk, pay attention to be sure to break the egg yolk into the form of egg flowers. Rock sugar can also moisten dryness and nourish the body, and these three are matched together to moisten the heart and lungs, nourish yin and nourish blood.
Yuzhu is also a kind of ingredient for nourishing yin, and it does not hurt the spleen and stomach, and can be taken for a long time. Miao Xiyong, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, also praised Yuzhu as "mellow in nature and gentle in smell, so it can be used for a long time and is not poor".
Moreover, the ability of Yuzhu to "lock water" is very strong, and it is said in the herbal book that it is "difficult to dry, that is, dry and soft, and it is easy to flourish when it is planted by moving roots". Ordinary plant rhizomes can easily become dry and hard when they are dug up and exposed to the sun in hot and dry weather.
But Yuzhu is different, it needs to be rubbed while drying to get sunburned, and after drying, pick up a bite and break it, it is still sticky and soft.
Friends who like meat can cook a pot of Yuzhu duck soup, and duck meat is also one of the few yin meats. Prepare 60 grams of jade bamboo and sand cucumber, a duck and a piece of ginger.
Slice the ginger, chop the duck and clean it, add ginger cooking wine to blanch the water to remove the fish, rinse the sand cucumber and jade bamboo, put all the ingredients into the casserole, add an appropriate amount of pure water, boil over high heat and turn to low heat and simmer for 1 hour, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste before cooking. In winter, you can have a bowl of warmth and warmth, and you don't have to worry about getting on fire, it is very moisturizing and nourishing.
Black sesame, black sesame seeds belong to seeds, containing the essence of heaven and earth energy, and it is mainly to nourish yin and moisten dryness, the oil content is very high, first recorded in the "Shennong Materia Medica": "replenish the five organs, benefit qi, grow muscles, fill the brain and marrow." ”
There is a saying that 100 supplements are the first to help the kidneys hide essence and absorb qi, especially in winter, it should be some black food, such as the grandmother Chen Tongyun, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, who suggested that we often eat black food, especially black sesame seeds.
And black sesame seeds are also high in calcium, suitable for our middle-aged and elderly friends, when they are older, there is more calcium loss, calcium is insufficient, and the arms and legs are uncomfortable, which affects our physical health.
The calcium content of black sesame seeds is six times that of milk, so drinking milk will cause diarrhea, lactose intolerant friends, you may wish to eat some black sesame seeds, as long as you eat the right way, it will not get angry, and it can supplement a variety of nutrients for the body and moisturize the body.
There are many ways to eat black sesame seeds, you can make black sesame paste, black sesame salt, black sesame cake, etc., but my favorite is still this black sesame ball, this black sesame ball tastes good, the nutrition is also easier to be absorbed by the body, soft and smooth, not greasy to eat, and it is made after the cumbersome steps of nine steaming and nine drying.
Although looking at a small black sesame pill is inconspicuous, but its origin is not small, nine steaming and nine drying is a traditional Taoist processing method, generally used to make precious herbs, a good sesame ball, to go through nine steaming and nine drying processing.
First, it is washed, and then it is steamed and steamed, and it takes 60-70 days to steam and dry a batch of black sesame seeds. There are also grinding, refining honey, hammering, weighing, making and so on, which are time-consuming, laborious, and laborious, but as long as you taste this taste and insist on eating it to see the changes in your body, you will find that it is all worth it.
Drying sesame seeds must be in the weather when the weather is fine, and then use the earthen stove to steam the sesame seeds, each time the steam is steamed for a full time, get exposed to the sun, repeat 9 times, after steaming and drying to relieve the heat, then use a stone mill to grind finely, pour natural honey, stir evenly, knead into balls, wrap glutinous rice paper, and then wrap tin foil, sealed in a jar.
From the broken state, you can see that it is very soft and delicate, very soft feeling, the ingredients are only black sesame seeds and honey, there are no miscellaneous additives, and it is also mellow sesame flavor and honey faint sweetness. A sesame ball, score 2-3 mouthfuls, chew slowly, chew until the tongue is raw, and the faint sweetness in the mouth will be obvious.
It can also be eaten with rice wine or tangerine peel water to make it more nourishing. 2 to 3 capsules a day, even if it is delicious, don't be greedy.
