[Dietotherapy] Typhoon Tiantu is about to affect Wuhan. How to eat in wet weather to avoid moisture invasion?
Recently, Typhoon Tiantu landed in Shenzhen, and the Municipal Meteorological Bureau has issued a yellow warning for typhoon. The typhoon will bring wet weather for several days. In this weather, arthritis and rheumatism can easily "invade" health, while wet people are more likely to have symptoms such as fatigue, excessive sweating, heavy head, weakness of limbs, itchy skin, eczema and abdominal distension. Let's take a look at how to avoid moisture from entering the body through diet. 1, to deal with moisture in the body, you can choose to eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis. For example, amaranth, lentil, wax gourd, coix seed, mung bean, watermelon Cui Yi, etc. Amaranth stalk is cool and sweet, rich in calcium easily absorbed by human body, and also has the functions of detoxification, clearing heat, diuresis, enriching blood and stopping bleeding. Lentils have the effects of nourishing and strengthening, invigorating spleen and qi, eliminating summer heat and dampness, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Coix seed is not only rich in protein, but also rich in B vitamins, calcium, iron and dietary fiber. It is a grain with balanced nutrition. Because it is easy to digest and absorb, it has the functions of promoting metabolism, reducing gastrointestinal burden, invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness, and enhancing renal function. In addition, wax gourd and watermelon are also cold and sweet, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. Eating more melon and watermelon in hot and humid weather has a good diuretic effect. 2. Drink some porridge properly. Drinking porridge in wet weather is very nourishing to our body, especially to warm our stomach. Porridge can be eight-treasure porridge or millet porridge, but it is best not to drink a single mung bean porridge, which is too cold to be taken in rainy days. 3, the staple food can eat some noodles and the like, because it is easy for the human body to feel weak in rainy days, and the digestive function of the stomach will also be weakened. Eating more digestible food can also protect gastrointestinal function. There is no doubt that the most suitable staple food for rainy days is noodles, especially those light noodle soups. It is said that rain will put out the fire in people's bodies, so we should eat something warm, but not too greasy and oily, because after all, it is summer and our appetite is very shallow. Therefore, a bowl of chicken noodle soup cooked with delicious chicken soup may be the best choice. Noodles, with some appropriate chicken breast, soup should have a light, bright golden yellow, with a few bright red medlar and a few green leaves, rising with warm and indifferent heat. 4. It is also good to eat some seasonal fruits. The most suitable fruit for rainy days should be the kind that is troublesome to eat. Because only at this time will people stay at home quietly and want to eat fruit because they are bored. If you look at the rain through the big glass window and eat bananas at the same time, it will spoil the scenery, but if you sit on the carpet and peel litchi slowly with a porcelain basin, it will look like a very suitable picture. 5. Eat less sweets and greasy food. Don't eat food that hurts the spleen and stomach in such a humid environment. Such as cold food and cold drinks. People who like sweets are also forbidden to eat, because "sweetness turns wet". 6. Avoid cold food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold food, ice products or cool fruits and vegetables will make the digestion and absorption function of the stomach stagnate, and it is not easy to eat indefinitely. Such as lettuce salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter gourd and so on. It is best to add onions and ginger in cooking to reduce the coldness of vegetables. 7. Drink less. Alcohol helps damp evil, so it is better to touch alcohol less. 8. Drink some green tea and boiled water. When the weather is low and the air humidity is high, people's spirits are prone to symptoms such as fatigue, irritability and irritability. Rainy days are the high season of depression, irritability and anxiety. Drink more green tea and boiled water, arrange some different ways of life and work properly, and change the "moldy" mood: communicate more with people and increase the intake of sugar, thus improving blood sugar level, increasing vitality and relieving depression. In addition, you can take vitamin B complex and oryzanol properly to adjust your mental mood. The torrential rain for several days bored people. In fact, this is "damp heat". Dampness and heat are characterized by heavy limbs and fever, especially in the afternoon, and sweating is not relieved. What food is suitable for rainy days? When damp heat invades the body, it is eczema or furuncle on the skin, local swelling and pain of joint tendons, damp heat of spleen and stomach, damp heat of liver and gallbladder, such as swelling and pain of liver, bitter taste, anorexia, yellow body and yellow eyes. At this time, we should pay attention to the pros and cons of diet. A good way to get rid of damp-heat is 1, and eat less "damp-heat". Many people think that only eating fried foods such as fried dough sticks and fried chicken wings can cause "hot air". In fact, roast duck and goose are also "wet", so it is advisable to eat less of these foods in rainy days. What food is suitable for rainy days? Although patting cucumber is a good cold dish, because there are two more garlic in it, the spicy water is eaten in the stomach. Other spicy foods such as pepper, mustard and pepper may also help damp heat grow in your body. In addition, once the oil temperature is too high during cooking, it may also make the food hot and humid. Vegetables, kale, onions and leeks can also grow hot and humid. Among meat, beef, mutton and dog meat are "closer" to damp heat. 2. Eating some "damp and hot" foods peanut oil, rapeseed oil and corn oil is not easy to cause damp and hot problems.
