Is bird's nest a good gift?
Personally, I think it is not appropriate to give gifts with bird's nest. Bird's nest is the product of commercial marketing, but it doesn't have much nutritional value. You'd better choose a more practical gift.

1. In terms of composition, the protein content of bird's nest in the dry state is about 50%, the carbohydrate content is about 30%, and there are about 10% impurities or minerals, as well as sialic acid that everyone admires. However, bird's nest is not as nutritious as everyone thinks. The source of minerals in bird's nest, especially blood swallow, is often the infiltration of natural minerals or impurities brought in when bird's nest is built. These minerals are inorganic substances, which are absorbed little or no by human body, and their nutritional value can be ignored.

So from a nutritional point of view, if you want to supplement protein, eating milk and eggs is more effective.

2. In terms of efficacy, bird's nest, as a medicinal material, may have certain efficacy; However, as a drug, there may be special processing methods, and ordinary eating methods have no effect, and at most they get some psychological comfort.

From the price point of view, bird's nest is often expensive and flashy, and many unscrupulous merchants will make fakes. This kind of bird's nest is not only not good for the body, but also may be harmful to some extent.

Then what is more appropriate?

1, send children fruits, nuts and miscellaneous grains to nourish their bodies. The most important thing is to improve immunity, which is related to healthy diet, good regular living habits and open-minded attitude. The tonic effect of a single food on the body is very limited. Only by ensuring the diversification of ingredients can we eat healthier. It is a very good choice to send some fruits, nuts and miscellaneous grains when giving gifts.

2, send the elders, cigarettes, wine, tea are the old three kinds of gifts, but from a health point of view, tea is still the first choice, of course, choose black tea, green tea, or oolong tea, you have to know each other's preferences in advance.

3. For friends in the intellectual circle, gifts should be simple and generous. If he is a writer, the best gift is "not to give, but to want". Ask him to write a book and ask him to sign it to make him feel valued and recognized.

4. Send white-collar friends, mainly spiritual products. Petty bourgeoisie, send tickets to the theater, preferably in a small theater, so that you are outstanding and don't follow the crowd. Tickets for art exhibitions, preferably oil paintings, must be abstract and conform to their spiritual world.
