According to the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "people belong to insects, and their nature belongs to the soil, so people are transformed by the earth, and they will grow strong and old with the soil." ”
Therefore, in any way, we are inseparable from "earth energy". For example, potatoes, peanuts, taro, radish, lotus root, yam, these foods that grow in the soil are very good to eat now. Foods that contain earth energy are also the mildest, and they will not catch fire or cause cold.

The second type: taro
In Hezhou, Guangxi, there is a village, which is one of the world's five longevity villages, there are nearly 500 longevity old people in the village, many people are curious, why the people in this village, in good health, in addition to the unique geographical environment, and their diet is inseparable, for example, they almost do not leave the taro.
If you want to be in good health, your spleen and stomach must first be healthy, because it is the foundation of nurture. Taro is mainly to strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, the dietary fiber it contains, most of which are soluble dietary fiber, it doesn't matter if you eat it every day, friends with poor spleen and stomach can also eat, and some people even say that to nourish the spleen and stomach, sweet potatoes and potatoes are not as good as taro.

"Taro has big taro and small taro, the most famous big should be Lipu taro, the small one is also called taro, it is very suitable for the elderly to eat, the taste is soft and glutinous after steaming, rich in nutrition, it can be used as a vegetable and a staple food, and it can also be made into a snack.

The third type: yam
Eating yam in winter is better than taking tonic medicine, yam has been respected by doctors since ancient times, and the "Medical Heart" records: "The nature of yam can nourish yin and dampness, and it can be smooth and astringent." It is to nourish the lungs and kidneys and the spleen and stomach. And it contains the most protein, in the tonic medicine is the supreme product, the characteristics are very peaceful, should be taken more often. ”
And among the various yam species, Wenxian Huai Yam, contains the deepest soil energy, Wenxian has planted Huai Yam for more than 3,000 years, belongs to the "best" in Huai Yam, known as "Huai Shen".
The local groundwater resources are abundant, and the impact of the millennium Liuhe has made the soil here precipitate rich nutrients and trace elements, which seep into the ground and penetrate with the groundwater, forming a unique local water quality and precipitating a unique soil.
It can be seen from the growth of the yam that the pure "soil absorbing essence" is buried more than one meter deep in the ground, especially the soil of the yam, the land is very hard, so if the yam wants to grow, it has to do its best to pierce down, and it is also crooked, undulating, and rust-like red patches.
When planting yams, local farmers found that during the growth period of more than half a year, the yam will absorb more than half of the nutrients in the land, and the land will not be able to be planted in the next year, so it can only be rotated, and it will take 6 years to cultivate before planting again, which shows how strong the land energy contained in the yam is.
There are many ways to eat yams, steaming, boiling, stir-frying, etc., but 85-year-old old Chinese medicine doctor Gao Zhongying reminded that there is a way to eat that is not recommended, that is, similar to osmanthus yam, which is dipped in sugar.
Because sweets will also hinder the movement of the spleen and stomach, and produce phlegm, dampness and greasy, so when we eat yams, try to avoid this way of eating, so as not to make the food that strengthens the spleen and stomach become the "culprit" that hurts the spleen and stomach.
