Recently, I often hear the older generation say, "Fight for wealth when you are young, and fight for health when you are old." In fact, health comes first at any age, and only good health is true happiness.
You can't feel it when you are young, especially after middle age, your body will plummet. First of all, the stomach is the first to age. Some things should be avoided, and you will never dare to eat indiscriminately again.
When people reach middle age, they should avoid eating certain foods, such as fried foods and frozen foods, and try not to eat them. If they eat too much, their stomachs will be unbearable, either diarrhea or hot stomach, so that people can't avoid eating certain foods.
Usually, the diet should be light and less oily, and eating these three kinds of seasonal wild vegetables will get better and better.
1, mugwort leaf
Since ancient times, Folium Artemisiae Argyi has been a good health care product. It is not only a wild vegetable, but also a green delicacy. It is deeply loved by people and even often planted as a vegetable.
Artemisia argyi leaves can be eaten for a long time, and its tender leaves can be used from spring to summer. As we all know, mugwort leaves can be used to make green meatballs, which are absolutely delicious, soft and sweet.
In fact, the simplest way to preserve the nutrition of mugwort leaves is to boil eggs with mugwort leaves. Although the taste is a little bitter, the nutrition will not be lost, and wormwood leaves are more nutritious, which is also its characteristic. The older generation often said: Artemisia argyi, which is not bitter, has no soul
In addition, Folium Artemisiae Argyi has the effects of expelling wind, reducing swelling, relieving pain and itching, regulating menstruation and stopping bleeding. It is not only helpful for female gynecology, but also effective for migraine, rheumatic bone pain, wind asthma and other diseases, which is very suitable for middle-aged people.
2. purslane
Speaking of purslane, I think everyone is familiar with it. It is also a common wild vegetable in rural areas. Like mugwort, it is also planted as a vegetable by farmers.
Portulaca oleracea L. is famous for its sour taste, which can be used for stir-frying, cold salad, making soup and wrapping jiaozi. Especially soup is a must. It tastes smooth and delicious, fresh and sour, and has a unique flavor.
At the same time, purslane can be eaten for a long time, from April to September. Like leek, it grows long and has strong growth ability, and it can be green and oily even in severe drought.
Portulaca oleracea also has a certain health care function. Not only has the function of protecting heart disease, but also has a good effect of clearing intestinal heat and stopping diarrhea and dysentery, especially after middle age, which is of great benefit to the body.
3. Houttuynia cordata
Houttuynia cordata is named after its fishy smell. Many people can't eat it because of this taste. Some people smell bad, while others smell good. It's delicious to cook, especially cold dishes. This is the specialty of many supermarkets and restaurants.
It used to be everywhere in the countryside. With a large number of people digging, wild houttuynia cordata Thunb is becoming less and less. Some farmers who like to eat Houttuynia cordata will plant some in their own gardens, which is convenient for picking and lasts longer.
As we all know, Houttuynia cordata Thunb is not only rich in nutrition, but also has certain health care functions, such as clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis, preventing and treating cancer, etc., and has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on various diseases of the body.
When people reach middle age, they should keep their mouths shut, eat less oil and eat more seasonal vegetables. In particular, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Herba Portulacae and Herba Houttuyniae are all seasonal wild vegetables. Taking more green food for both medicine and food can not only supplement nutrition to the body, but also have a health care effect, and the body will get better and better.
