Autumn is characterized by changing from heat to cold, and the yang disappears and the yin grows. Therefore, autumn health care must follow the principle of "nourishing and harvesting", in which diet health care should be centered on moistening dryness and benefiting qi, focusing on invigorating spleen, nourishing liver and clearing lung, focusing on moistening dryness and sweetness, and focusing on the reconciliation of cold and cool.
Autumn is a transitional stage from hot to cold, and the yang disappears and the yin grows. Huangdi Neijing said: "Nourishing Yin in autumn and winter" means collecting Yin in autumn and winter to adapt to the law of natural Yin growth and lay a good foundation for the growth of Yang in the coming year.
"dryness" is the main qi in autumn, so it is called "autumn dryness" and it hurts people, mainly because it consumes body fluids. If body fluids are consumed, "dryness" will occur. The corresponding viscera in autumn is "lung". Autumn dryness invades the lungs, which is prone to symptoms such as "dryness, enthusiasm and uncovering". Therefore, autumn health care should be based on "preventing lung dryness, protecting yin and protecting body fluid".
Today, I recommend three stews suitable for nourishing yin and moistening lung in autumn to help you drink good health and spend the autumn.
raw material
Lotus root 1 segment, ribs 300g, medlar 5g, onion 1 segment, cooking wine 1 spoon, 2 slices of ginger, and appropriate amount of salt.
working methods
1. Wash lotus root, peel and cut into hob blocks.
2. Wash the ribs with running water, put the onion and cooking wine into the pot, add cold water to chop the ribs, skim the blood and floating foam on the surface after the fire is boiled, and drain.
Take out the bone for later use.
3. Put the ribs, lotus root and ginger slices into the soup pot, add 2000 ml of clear water to boil and simmer for 2 hours.
4. Add Lycium barbarum and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt before taking out.
The essence of good soup
1. Don't cut the lotus root with an iron knife. It is best to use ceramics for stews to avoid blackening when it meets iron and aluminum.
2. Make soup with red lotus root. This kind of lotus root powder is soft and waxy, while white lotus root is crisp and suitable for frying.
3. Ribs can also be replaced by cavity bones, which is more nutritious.
This soup needs less salt, and the light taste can highlight the sweetness of lotus root.
