What to eat in winter to keep out the cold?

Winter solstice does not freeze ears. This statement comes from the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing. He saw that people's ears were frozen in the cold, so he used bread to dispel the cold and cooked it into Joule soup to cure people's ears. Usually the fillings are carefully prepared, and this reasonable nutritional collocation can play a nourishing and health-preserving role. In addition to essential meat and garlic, seasonings can also improve the body's resistance.
Jiaozi can use mutton, Chinese cabbage, green onions, leeks and radishes. As a filler. These dishes are warm and can warm the yang to some extent. Generally, jiaozi, which is meaty, has high water content and is easy to "disperse". Cooking food will lead to a large loss of nutrients and poor taste. You can consider methods such as water frying and steaming, and stuffed foods with plenty of meat are suitable for cooking. Try to use less cooking methods such as frying and frying to avoid extra fat intake.
2.wonton
Wonton is named after chaos. "Story of Yanjing at the Age of Years" said that "the shape of husband wonton is like a chicken egg, which is quite like the chaos of heaven and earth, so it is eaten from winter to the sun." Explain that wonton takes the sound of "chaos" because of its shape. "When the two devices are not divided, they are ambitious. Hong, like a chicken, is called chaos "(Taishi Mirror). Eating wonton on the solstice in winter is of great significance to commemorate the resurrection of the sun and the beginning of the world. Later generations no longer interpret its meaning, but only preach "winter solstice wonton, summer solstice."
Eating wonton in winter is beneficial to the storage of heat energy in cold season. The nutritional value of wonton is still relatively high. Its biggest advantage is that it has various protein with stuffing and skin, which can supplement protein and improve the nutritional value of single food.
3. Chicken soup
Drinking chicken soup in winter has a good preventive effect on colds and bronchitis. Chicken soup can accelerate the blood circulation of throat and bronchial mucosa, increase mucus secretion, remove respiratory toxins in time, promote the relief of symptoms such as cough, dry throat and sore throat, and help the weak to enhance their resistance.
The main purpose of stewing soup is to drink its soup and then eat its meat, so we don't advocate stewing soup in a pressure cooker, because the nutrients need to be heated slowly with a small fire for a long time, and the stewing time in a pressure cooker is short, which can't achieve the ideal effect. Therefore, chicken soup should be cooked in a casserole and then turned to low heat. In the process of boiling soup, try not to uncover it. Uncovering it is easy to "run out of breath", so that the soup loses its original taste.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that glutinous rice is sweet and warm, which can nourish human health. After eating it, you will have a fever all over your body and play a role in keeping out the cold and nourishing. It is most suitable for health preservation in winter.

The materials commonly used to make glutinous rice balls, such as glutinous rice, sesame seeds and red beans, are also warm and have a good spleen-strengthening effect. When the spleen and stomach are healthy, dietary nutrition will be absorbed and utilized by the body, and the cold resistance and prevention ability of the body will be improved.
5, eight-treasure porridge
Hot eight-treasure porridge is very suitable for a warm diet in winter. Chinese medicine believes that eating porridge can strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, and it has a certain effect of nourishing yin, just against the characteristics of dryness in winter. In order to keep out the cold, you can choose warm or mild foods that can strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as coix seed, jujube, walnut, peanut, chicken, mutton, glutinous rice, longan, yam, tremella and so on.
Cooking soft porridge and soaking rice is the first step, at least until the rice grains absorb water. If you add beans and other ingredients, you must soak them in water alone. It is easier to be soft and rotten after absorbing water. As the saying goes, "Cooking porridge is a coincidence, and it takes 36 minutes to stir." First, stir when the fire is strong to prevent rice grains from sticking to the pot; Mixing rice porridge after slow fire will break up rice grains and thicken rice porridge.
6. Mutton soup
Mutton, according to Chinese medicine, is sweet but not greasy, warm but not dry, and has the effects of strengthening yang, warming the middle warmer and dispelling cold, warming qi and blood, nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen. However, its cholesterol content is much less than that of pork and beef, so mutton soup is not only the best for the elderly, but also for most people (except those with excessive internal heat, hepatitis and doctor's advice), which can keep out the cold and nourish the body.
It should be noted that mutton is hot, so it should be cool and sweet when eaten. Mutton and tofu are the best match. Gypsum has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, relieving annoyance and quenching thirst, and can effectively reduce the warmth of mutton. Also, eating mutton and radish together can not only reduce the smell of mutton, but also have the functions of eliminating stagnation, resolving phlegm and clearing heat.
