Since ancient times, the way of health preservation in the four seasons is not to take the sentence "spring is born in summer and summer is long, autumn is harvested and stored in winter" in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" as a classic, and now it is in the middle of spring, which is the stage when the momentum of spring is more obvious; So what is born of spring? For all things in nature, birth means rebirth, and for our body, especially the liver, it mostly means "ascending".
The so-called "rising hair" refers to the liver yang qi raised by the liver in spring, which can not only rejuvenate the remaining four organs, but also promote the liver blood storage, so that people can be more energetic when they are awake.
Nowadays, with the development of technology, although the efficiency of our entertainment or errands has been improved, the opposite effect of receiving a large amount of information at high frequency is to cause problems such as mood, sleep and stress to appear.
Therefore, how to find a way to nourish the liver in spring, for this stage of health, it has a very important guiding significance, but after all, the "road" is long, if you want to finish and talk about the whole, it will take a long time to verify and practice, so in order to reduce the length and condense the effective method as soon as possible, here will first introduce you to the spring, the liver loves the three fruits, which can supplement the liver and blood, and can relieve the liver and regulate qi, in short, they are suitable for recuperation in the spring.
One: mulberries that nourish the kidneys and nourish yin
If you want to evaluate the first freshness of spring among fruits, then mulberries are likely to be selected, because whether it is from the perspective of taste itself or from the perspective of food effect, mulberries are really suitable for spring food. First of all, the sweet and sour taste of mulberries is staggered, according to the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia": "Mulberries are cold, sweet and sour, have the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing yin, and moisturizing dryness".
At the same time, according to the record of "Suixingju Diet Recipe": "Mulberry nourishes the liver and kidneys, congests blood, dispels rheumatism, walks well, breathes deficiency wind, and clears deficiency fire", mulberry is undoubtedly very suitable for those who are prone to vigorous liver fire in spring, or lack of liver blood, so that they are usually in an uncertain mood, dry eyes, and poor sleep.
In addition, for the following two kinds of common spring problems, eating more mulberries can also play an appropriate role in dietary therapy:
First of all, you should know that "when people lie down, the blood returns to the liver", that is to say, only when we lie down to sleep, the liver blood can be recuperated and rested, so if you do not sleep before 11 o'clock at night for a long time, then the liver blood will face the risk of deficiency, and the more the liver and blood are lost, the sleep quality will be more and more reduced.
And the liver not only has the function of storing blood, but also has the external manifestation of "the liver opens to the eyes", so when we use our eyes too often, the liver and blood will inevitably be excessively depleted, so if your sleep time is delayed, and your eyes are slightly dry recently, it is better to eat more mulberries to replenish.
The second is yin deficiency and dry heat, the so-called yin deficiency and dry heat, in popular terms, is the problem of easy fire, so if you have yin deficiency and dry heat, or long-term fire problems, then I believe that mulberries that can not only replenish liver and blood, but also replenish kidney yin, and clear deficiency and fire, are definitely your best choice.
Two: Bergamot that dries and dissolves phlegm
Buddha's hand, also known as "the fairy in the fruit", its liver-soothing food effect is not much better than that of roses, phlegm dissolving power can also be comparable to tangerine peel, plus it can strengthen the spleen, so since ancient times, it has been known as "the fairy in the fruit, the wonder of the world"; In fact, in addition to eating, Buddha's hand can also be placed in front of the hall to "clear offerings", that is, only smell its taste, but not eat its meat.
And if you want to eat, then the Buddha's hand with "warm nature, bitter and sour taste, and entering the liver, spleen, stomach, and lung meridians" can help you relieve liver and regulate qi, relieve stomach pain, and dissolve phlegm between porridge and tea.
In the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded in the "Flower Glasses": "Direct fresh food is not as good as citrus orange, it is mostly sliced, dried, pharmaceutical, and candied fruit, and its pulp is taken and mixed with sugar, or it can be used to make soup to remove wine thirst." "Fresh bergamot slices, dipped in sugar, taste great (remember to peel them). Eat the white part in the middle, crispy with a little sweetness.
Bergamot porridge method: Prepare 15 grams of bergamot, 100 grams of japonica rice, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Cut fresh bergamot into slices, put it in a clean gauze bag, tie it tightly, wash the japonica rice, add an appropriate amount of water to cook the porridge, the porridge is about eight years old, put the gauze bag into the porridge, cook for about 15 minutes, put rock sugar and mix thoroughly, eat while hot, 2 times a day.
If you don't want to match these liver-nourishing and qi-nourishing foods, we can also prepare two boxes of this bergamot cake directly in the spring to eat, the ingredients are orange peel, bergamot, Yin Chen, dried grapefruit peel, pear juice concentrate, dried carrots, sunflower oil, white fungus, generations of flowers, the pastry is soft and delicate, and it is also zero additives.
Nine steaming and nine drying, grinding and breaking the wall, fully stimulating the nutrition in the ingredients, integrating into this small piece of pastry, baking at low temperature, better retaining the nutrition of the ingredients from being destroyed by high temperature.
The soft and glutinous golden yellow cake body, the entrance is sweet and delicious, not sticky, and there is a faint fragrance of orange peel, which makes people appetite when they smell it.
And for example, bergamot and daidaihua can accelerate the discharge of toxins from the body, making the body smoother, and the orange peel and daidaihua in it have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach.
This bergamot cake is selected from the original ingredients, the bergamot of Zhaoqing, the dandelion of Changbai Mountain, the generation of flowers of Ma Yunnan, all the nutrients are integrated into this small piece of pastry, zero flavor, zero pigment, zero preservatives, and it is safe to eat.
This bergamot cake is very suitable for people who usually stay up late to drink, smoke and have a prosperous liver, and are also suitable for people who often sulk, anxiety and depression, these are the manifestations of uncomfortable liver qi, when a person sulks for a long time, and the liver qi is not smooth, our liver is easy to be blocked, and the garbage toxins in the body are not easy to discharge, so we need to use diet or exercise to recuperate.
Friends who are too lazy to do it can eat this bergamot cake for a period of time, and eat 2 pieces a day out of the bag.
Three: Sour jujube kernels that sleep and calm the mind
Although it is said that "spring sleep is not aware", but in the spring there are still many people who will not be able to sleep because of lack of liver blood, or other troubles, so if you can't sleep because of the heart and liver restlessness, you might as well make good use of sour jujube kernels to nourish the heart and liver.
According to the description of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia", the sour jujube kernel is "sweet, sour, flat, nourishing the liver, calming the heart, collecting sweat, and generating Jin"; In addition, it is rumored that a classic prescription in the hands of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing was made of sour jujube kernel soup made with sour jujube kernel as the main ingredient and mulberry and longan as auxiliary materials.
However, after all, the sour jujube kernel soup belongs to the classic Chinese medicine medicine, if you want to drink it daily, most people will still be dissuaded by the strong medicinal taste and astringent bitterness, so compared with the more pharmacological sour jujube kernel soup, our sour jujube kernel paste is not only more palatable, but also not much different from the former.
After all, in terms of material input, every catty of thick paste in our sour jujube kernel paste is made from at least 20 catties of ingredients.
And under the thickness, it is an accurate grasp of the proportion of ingredients, the sour jujube kernels, poria cocos, mulberries, longan, lotus seeds, and honey in the paste recipe have their own flavors, but also ensure that they all have a natural pure taste, and even the rock sugar used also ensures that each single crystal will not appear excessive "cheap sweetness"; In addition, the proportion after selection can still maintain a peaceful taste, so it can be said that it is suitable for all kinds of drinking.
