As the saying goes, "medicine is better than food." On the occasion of the slight cold solar term, Bian Xiao specially provides you with the following dietary suggestions, hoping to help you regulate your body and prevent diseases through a healthy diet. "Slight cold and severe cold, cold becomes ice hockey", which literally means colder than slight cold, but in fact it is colder than slight cold, so "Sanjiu" is just within the solar terms of slight cold. In ancient times, there was a saying that "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year". People have experienced spring, summer and autumn, and the consumption in the past year has caused the yin, yang, qi and blood of the zang-fu organs to decline. According to the traditional Chinese medicine "winter governs collection", in this cold solar term, we should nourish the yang and collect subtle substances to supplement the functions of zang-fu organs.
Laba porridge
Eating Laba porridge is an important folk custom in the "slight cold" solar term in diet. "Yanjing Times" records that "Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red cowpea, peeled jujube paste and so on. And dyed red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and miscellaneous grapes for external use. All the above foods are sweet and warm, and have the effects of regulating the spleen and stomach, invigorating the middle energizer, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, expelling cold and strengthening the body, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. The ancients in China called porridge rice the first tonic in the world, and thought that eating porridge could prolong life. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that porridge can "replenish qi and promote fluid production, replenish spleen and stomach, and treat deficiency cold". Zhang Lei's "The Story of Porridge" also said: "If you eat a large bowl of porridge every day, it will be empty on an empty stomach, and the grain will make it. The tonic is not refined, and it is very soft and greasy, which is consistent with the stomach. "
Kirin bass
Perch can also be eaten for warming yang, astringing yin and promoting fluid production. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "The taste is sweet and flat, and it enters the liver, spleen and kidney meridians, which has the functions of nourishing the five internal organs, benefiting the bones and muscles, controlling water and regulating qi, eating more sweet food, exposing dryness and fragrance, benefiting the liver and kidney, preventing miscarriage and tonifying the middle warmer." .
In particular, we should remind everyone that this solar term is also the period with the highest incidence of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases in a year. Therefore, patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and asthma should pay attention to keep warm and cold, adjust their diet reasonably, pay attention to early prevention, and establish scientific health preservation concepts and methods.
When the solar term is dry, eat some fruits and supplement vitamin C to relieve excessive water shortage of the skin, and the fruits are more nutritious when cooked during the slight cold. Cooking fruits in winter has certain health care principles, and most common fruits in winter are suitable for cooking. When the fruit is boiled in water, the water temperature is generally maintained at about 100 degrees Celsius, so the water temperature will not have much influence on the nutrients in the fruit. Cooked fruit is moist and delicious, suitable for all ages.
