After beginning of spring, with the deepening of spring, the liver qi in the body became more and more abundant, reaching a peak in Tomb-Sweeping Day. As the saying goes, excessive liver qi will have adverse effects on the spleen and stomach, hinder the normal digestion and absorption of food, and also cause emotional disorder and poor circulation of qi and blood, which will lead to various diseases. Therefore, during the Qingming period, health care should be based on nourishing the liver. In diet, we should pay attention to eat less cold food and eat more food that nourishes and protects the liver.

The following are health foods suitable for Tomb-Sweeping Day. You can eat more in the meantime!

1, seasonal vegetables. Such as celery, Chinese toon, spinach, bracken, Malantou and so on.

Shepherd's purse can lower blood pressure, strengthen stomach and promote digestion, dredge stomach and intestines, and treat stomach spasm, gastric ulcer, enteritis and other problems.

Toona sinensis has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis and detoxifying, and is a good medicine for adjuvant treatment of enteritis, dysentery and urinary system infection.

Spinach has the functions of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, soothing the liver and nourishing blood, and has a good auxiliary treatment effect on hypertension, dizziness, diabetes and anemia caused by liver yin deficiency in spring.

Pteridium aquilinum has the functions of refreshing, removing greasy and helping digestion.

Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, the special fragrance of Malantou is the most attractive. Many wild vegetables grow in spring, and the most tender is spring. For example, once Malantou has passed Qingming Festival, it will gradually get old and cannot be chewed, so it is most suitable for eating Malantou these days.

2.snails

Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, bloom was warm in spring, and the earth revived. Snails lurking and sleeping in the soil climbed out of the soil one after another. At this time, the snail meat is delicious, which is the best season to eat snails. Snail meat is plump, delicate and delicious, and it is known as the "pearl in the plate". Rich in protein eggs, vitamins, essential amino acids and trace elements, it is a typical natural animal health food with high protein, low fat and high calcium.

shrimp

"Yellow croaker in March, shrimp in April, and bitter gourd stew in May." As for Qingming shrimp, there was a poem that said: "The east wind blows rain all night, and fish and shrimp grow in Jiangxinshui." Just the clear sight of spring rain and the mouth-watering growth of river fresh. Now, Qingming Shrimp is at the turn of the old and the new. There is plenty of rain, and the new shrimp has not "dispersed in spring". Fortunately, you can even see shrimp seeds in your stomach.

4. mussels

It is said that, like snails, mussels around Qingming are the fattest. "Drink a bowl of light vegetable soup in spring, no prickly heat, no sores". The common practice in old Yangzhou is that mussels burn tofu and bacon burns mussels, so that eyebrows will fall off.
