How does beginning of winter make up for it?
From the perspective of TCM health preservation, beginning of winter is indeed a good opportunity for tonic. Because after entering winter, human metabolism slows down and consumption is relatively reduced. Tonifying in winter can store the energy transformed by nutrients in the body, thus strengthening the body resistance and strengthening the body resistance. Tonic food is the best. Neijing says "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", while the northern winter climate is dry and windy. Therefore, nourishing and benefiting * * * is an important content of health preservation in winter, and it is best to eat more foods such as cabbage, tremella, fungus, medlar, pear and kiwi fruit. It is best to eat less spicy, barbecue and fried food, and pay attention to drink plenty of water to avoid getting angry.
Diet should be mainly warm, such as glutinous rice, dog meat, mutton, jujube, longan, sesame, leek and so on. And eat less cold drinks, seafood and other cold food. You can eat more nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts and chestnuts. You can add some Radix Adenophorae, Radix Astragali and Radix Ophiopogonis to porridge and soup, but the amount is not too much, because it is a food supplement rather than a medicine supplement after all. Beginning of winter is also a good time for tonic, and the tonic diet in beginning of winter should be mainly warm.
The beginning of the principle of winter tonic
First, a balanced diet is the foundation. The highest state of nutrition is balance. We can refer to the pagoda of balanced diet recommended by China Nutrition Society and choose different kinds of food in proportion.
Second, mainly cereals and potatoes, and coarse grains are properly matched. Giving priority to cereals and potatoes, and paying attention to the matching of coarse and fine grains can obtain more comprehensive nutrition. You can eat more yam, sweet potato, taro and so on. Chinese medicine believes that yam is sweet and flat in nature, and belongs to spleen, lung and kidney meridians. It has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, promoting fluid production and benefiting lung, tonifying kidney and astringing essence, and is suitable for winter consumption.
Third, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Grapes can be selected from fruits. Because grapes can replenish qi and produce sperm, and can replenish liver and kidney. From a nutritional point of view, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as phytochemicals with antioxidant effects. These nutrients are beneficial to delaying aging, preventing cancer and keeping healthy.
Fourth, eat meat and eggs in moderation. Many people pay attention to tonic in autumn, but eating too much meat will increase the burden on digestive and metabolic organs. It is a wise choice to eat meat and eggs in moderation, eat less fat, and choose some poultry meat that is easy to digest and absorb and has less fat. There are many choices of beef and mutton.
