After winter, the temperature gradually decreases, and people need more calories to maintain their body temperature and good health. At this point, a bowl of hot soup is a very good option. However, if you want to protect the health of your blood vessels by drinking soup, then you need to pay special attention to the selection of ingredients and how to make this bowl of soup.
1. Ingredients: Choose ingredients rich in unsaturated fatty acids, low in fat and low in cholesterol, such as tofu, lean meat, vegetables, etc. At the same time, you can add some Chinese herbal medicines that have the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis and softening blood vessels, such as angelica, astragalus, wolfberry, etc.
2 Method: Put the ingredients and Chinese herbs into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and slowly boil over low heat. After boiling, turn to low heat and continue to cook for about 30 minutes, until the ingredients and Chinese herbs are fully combined. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste.
In this soup, unsaturated fatty acids help lower cholesterol levels, and low-fat, low-cholesterol ingredients can reduce fat accumulation in the blood vessels, thereby reducing the risk of plaque in the blood vessels. Chinese herbal medicines can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
It is important to note that although this bowl of soup can help us protect the health of our blood vessels, it is not a substitute for medicine**. If you already have cardiovascular disease or hyperlipidemia, you also need to seek medical attention and follow your doctor's advice**.
