Red dates, a delicious fruit that everyone knows, have been widely regarded as a warm and tonic product since ancient times. It is not only delicious, but also medicinal, so it is loved by middle-aged and elderly people. However, the best way to eat dates is not necessarily known to everyone.
Mr. Lu Zhizheng, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, has been specializing in spleen and stomach diseases for more than 70 years, and still insists on working at the age of nearly ninety. And one of the secrets of his perennial health is to rely on three steamed dates.
The method of steaming jujube recommended by Mr. Lu is very simple and easy. First, wash the jujubes, soak them in warm water, and then remove them and drain them after they swell. Then, put the dates in a steamer and steam for 20 minutes, then take them out and let them cool. Finally, peel and remove the core of the steamed jujube and cut it into small pieces for later use.
This production method can make jujube softer, more effective, and more suitable for the elderly. Teacher Lu suggested that eating these three steamed dates after meals can play a role in strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenishing qi and blood.
In addition, Mr. Lu also emphasized the importance of diet. He believes that the spleen and stomach are important organs of the human body, and diet is the main burden of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the diet should be light and easy to digest, and avoid irritating foods such as excessive greasy and spicy. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a regular diet Xi habits and avoid overeating.
In short, Mr. Lu's health regimen is not only simple and easy, but also very practical. By insisting on eating three steamed dates and paying attention to dietary conditioning, we can better protect the health of the spleen and stomach and prolong life.
The three steamed jujubes are the best jujubes.
Selected dates: dried dates with thick flesh, solid quality, heavy and bright color;Wash jujubes: wash to remove impurities, do not soak;Steamed dates: three steamed. Steam over medium-strong heat for 20 minutes. Put it in a cool place for 3 4 hours, and then steam for another 20 minutes (no need to add water, directly dry steam). After the water boils, it is advisable to simmer over low heat and steam again. How to eat: Eat two pieces a day, just eat one jujube. Re-steam each time you eat it, peel off the crust, kernel, and eat.
Why steam three times.
This is actually a profound knowledge, which originates from the "concoction science" of traditional Chinese medicine. For friends who are often in contact with traditional Chinese medicine, the term "rehman" must be no stranger. However, the process of preparing this cooked land is not easy, it is formed by the raw land after nine times of steaming and processing. This seemingly simple step actually contains a wealth of TCM wisdom.
Rawland, cold, has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood. However, after nine times of steaming, the raw land is transformed into cooked land. At this time, the medicinal properties of the cooked land changed from cold to warm, from clear to tonic, which has the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing yin, nourishing the kidney and nourishing essence. This transformation is the magic of TCM processing.
Similarly, the steamed jujube mentioned by Mr. Lu Zhizheng, although it is still an ordinary red jujube in appearance, its medicinal properties have also changed after specific processing. After steaming three times, the color and taste of jujube are different from ordinary jujubes, and more importantly, its spleen and blood nourishing effects have been enhanced. Such a change makes steamed jujube not only taste better, but also applicable to a wider range of people, and the medicinal effect is also more significant.
Therefore, whether it is the cooked preparation of traditional Chinese medicine or the practice of steamed jujube by Mr. Lu Zhizheng, it fully reflects the wisdom and charm of traditional Chinese medicine processing. This is not only a simple production process, but also a manifestation of an in-depth understanding of medicinal properties and human body mechanisms.
The color of the dates changes after steaming three times, and the leftmost one is steamed for the third time.
