When it comes to what kind of meat to eat in winter, mutton is definitely on the list. On a cold winter day, stew a pot of fragrant mutton soup, tsk, that taste, I really want to drool when I think about it.
Lamb itself is a high-protein meat, and is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3 and nutrients such as zinc, iron, selenium, etc., which is a good supplement in winter, which can enhance the body's immunity and improve physical fitness. At the same time, mutton has higher calories than beef, and eating mutton in winter to supplement the body's calorie consumption and promote the body's blood circulation is also very beneficial.
White radish is definitely an indispensable food in winter stew. As a vegetable, white radish is rich in plant fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and avoid the occurrence of indigestion and constipation after eating and drinking heavily in winter. At the same time, white radish has a refreshing taste and is rich in water, which can also replenish the body's water in winter.
The Compendium of Materia Medica records that sweet potatoes have the effect of "replenishing deficiency, invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and strengthening kidney yin". Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, carotene, vitamin C, etc., sweet potatoes also contain a lot of starch, which can be converted into glucose in the body.
Cabbage is also a seasonal vegetable in winter, and there is a saying in ancient times that "winter cabbage is as beautiful as bamboo shoots". In the Northeast, every family will buy a large basket of cabbage in winter, whether it is hot pot or stew, it is very delicious. Cabbage is rich in water and various vitamins, and the weather is dry in winter, so eating more cabbage can warm the stomach and invigorate qi, skin care and beauty. And cabbage is cheap, storage is relatively simple, and it is a good choice to keep a few cabbages at home in winter.
In winter, it is inevitable to make soup at home, and red dates, as a food that nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, and are suitable for lung qi, are often used as an adjunct for soup. There is a folk saying that "if you eat three dates a day, you will not look old in your life". In traditional Chinese medicine, jujube is also considered to be a tonic that replenishes qi and calms the nerves.
Dog meat is rich in taurine and peptide substances, with less fat content, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that dog meat has the effect of nourishing the temperature and kidneys, helping yang and driving away cold. In winter, some people are prone to cold limbs, chills, low back pain, etc., and eating dog meat can also play a role in enhancing qi and blood.
Carrots are rich in carotene, which in the body can be converted into vitamin A, which promotes growth, prevents bacterial infections and protects epidermal tissue. There are also some studies that show that carrots can improve the body's anti-cancer ability, improve the body's immunity, and delay aging through anti-oxidation. In winter, carrots are a good way to eat them in soups and stir-fries.
In winter, the weather is cold and the air is dry, the oil secretion is reduced, and it is easy to crack due to lack of water. At the same time, soybeans can also reduce blood lipids and cholesterol in the body, and are also a good nutritional supplement for people who mainly eat meat in winter.
