What should I eat in winter to stay healthy?
There is a folk saying that "tonic in winter, killing tigers in spring". This means that as long as we make up properly in winter, our physique will be "twice as good" by next spring. So winter is the most suitable season for tonic among the four seasons. What should I eat for health?

The following foods have a very good nourishing effect. I suggest you collect them:

0 1, yam

Yam has always been known as "immortal food" and is also the first choice for food supplement in daily life. Yam contains polyphenol oxidase, amylase and other substances, which can prevent cardiovascular diseases and prevent blood lipids from depositing on blood vessel walls. In winter, the blood flow slows down, and eating more yam food has many benefits, which can achieve the effect of prolonging life.

02, lotus root

The weather in winter is relatively dry. Sometimes I wake up at night and find myself thirsty and uncomfortable. It is necessary to eat lotus root foods (fried lotus root slices, lotus root soup, etc.). ) at this time.

Eating lotus root can have the effects of moistening dryness, quenching thirst, nourishing yin, clearing away heat, clearing heart and calming nerves. At the same time, in the cold winter, it is the time when lotus roots are on the market, and the ingredients are very fresh. Moreover, lotus root is rich in minerals, protein, vitamins and dietary fiber, which is very helpful for treating constipation and discharging harmful substances.

03, cuttlefish

There is a folk saying that "four legs are not as good as two legs, and two legs are not as good as no legs." The so-called legless generally refers to various fish. In addition to iron, calcium, phosphorus and other substances needed by human body, cuttlefish fish meat is also rich in vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin B, etc. ) and carbohydrates. Eat more cuttlefish in winter, and you will be in great health next spring.

04. Pierce

Pear, also known as "natural mineral water", is known as "hundred fruits" and is rich in trace elements such as calcium, iron, iodine and phosphorus. In winter, the air is dry, and we eat food made of pears (rock sugar, Sydney soup, jujube and pear soup, etc. ) can promote fluid production and moisten the lungs, and relieve winter dryness. If you insist on eating for a long time, the effect will be better. (Reminder: Don't eat too much, especially people with weak constitution or basic diseases. Because pears are cold, people with weak constitution may not be able to carry them. )

In addition, there are lily porridge (lily has the functions of clearing heart, calming nerves, moistening lung and relieving cough) and dried mulberry (mulberry has many active substances: amino acids, carotene, vitamins and so on). , can beauty beauty, improve human immunity), red dates (red dates nourish blood and enrich blood, containing ingredients that can increase the number of red blood cells in the blood), grapefruit (grapefruit can relieve cough and resolve phlegm, reduce qi and benefit the lungs, but it is cold).

Kidney function will be more vigorous in winter, so I suggest you eat more bitter food and less salty food. Because bitter food can enhance the function of the kidney and reduce the dryness and heat of the human body. However, salty food will make people's kidney qi stronger and their heart qi weaker, which will bring problems to their own health.
