Second, what dishes do you eat for cold dew health?

1, radish

As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and the doctor won't prescribe medicine for a year." Radish, known as "small ginseng" in our country, can be said to be one of the best products in autumn and winter. Eating raw can not only help digestion, increase appetite, but also get rid of greasy and help digestion. If cooked with other food partners, it also has different effects. There are many varieties of radish, including white skin, red skin, green skin, red heart, white heart, round and long, but carrots are not included. Raw food and cooked food are suitable. It tastes spicy and cold when eaten raw, but it tastes sweet and slightly cold when cooked. It has high nutritional value and medicinal value. In order to praise radish, poets in Yuan Dynasty also wrote a poem: "Cooked food is as sweet as taro, and raw food is as crisp as pear". At the same time, Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist, also admired radishes, believing that they must be eaten at every meal. He mentioned in Compendium of Materia Medica that radish can "relieve qi, eliminate grain and neutralize evil heat".

Radish has a unique spicy taste. Eating raw can help digestion, strengthen stomach and digestion, and increase appetite. After eating greasy food such as meat, eating raw radish can relieve boredom and make the stomach comfortable. Sweet potato is full of stomach acid, and when heartburn symptoms appear, eating raw radish or chewing salted radish is helpful for digestion. At the same time, raw radish can also promote bile secretion and help digest fat.

In addition, radish is one of the main raw materials for pickles, pickles and dried products. Besides glucose, sucrose, fructose, pentosan, crude fiber, vitamin C, minerals and a small amount of crude protein, it also contains a variety of amino acids.

It is worth mentioning that people are used to peeling off radish skin when eating radish, but they don't know that 98% of the calcium contained in radish is in radish skin, so it is best to eat radish with skin. Radish is of course good, but there are taboos when eating it. Because radish tastes sweet and cold, people with spleen and stomach deficiency, can't eat or weak constitution should eat less; Don't eat radish after taking tonics such as ginseng, raw and cooked land and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, otherwise it will affect the curative effect. In addition, because eating raw radish produces more gas, it is not good for ulcer disease, so patients with such diseases should eat less.

2. Chinese yam

Yam is not only a traditional Chinese medicine, but also a delicious food, and it is also a familiar nourishing treasure. Studies have proved that the content of B vitamins in yam is several times that of rice, and the content of potassium in minerals is also extremely rich. More importantly, yam is rich in various bioactive components, including yam polysaccharide, mucin, saponin, allantoin, dehydroepiandrosterone and so on.

Jia et al. of Henan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine found that oligosaccharides in yam have a good immune enhancement effect. The bioactive substances in yam have good anti-aging effect, which can improve the proliferation of animal immune cells and delay the aging of thymus.

Yam mucin can improve the immune function and cardiovascular function of animals. Dehydroepiandrosterone contained in yam also has many anti-aging effects, such as enhancing immune function, improving memory, calming and sleeping, delaying skeletal muscle aging, preventing arteriosclerosis and so on.

Mannan in yam is a kind of water-soluble hemicellulose, which can expand 80 ~ 100 times after water absorption. After eating, it becomes bigger in the stomach and is easy to feel full. Mucin can also reduce blood cholesterol, prevent lipid deposition in cardiovascular system and help prevent arteriosclerosis.

In addition, Chinese yam has an auxiliary effect on diabetes, which not only tends to produce satiety, but also helps to control food intake, and also has the functions of improving sugar metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity. Because of the high starch content in yam, it is best to replace part of the staple food with yam when eating yam, that is, to reduce the amount of staple food appropriately, especially for diabetics, to avoid the problem of excess energy.

3. kohlrabi

Isatis indigotica, also known as Wang, Zhilian and kale head, is a kind of cabbage, and its scientific name is Bulb Cabbage. Potamogeton is a vegetable between kohlrabi and cabbage. Its leaves are smooth and tender, the stems swell into a ball, the leaves are marked obviously, and the epidermis is green, white or purple. It is cultivated in spring and autumn. I remember when I was a child, every winter, my family would buy some kohlrabi, especially in the year when food was scarce. In winter, a small dish of kohlrabi is crisp and delicious. Rich in vitamin C, it is as high as 4 1 mg per 100 g, which is much higher than that of apples, pears, grapes and other fruits. It also contains a lot of potassium, which is very beneficial to the human body.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is cool and sweet, and has the effects of widening chest, resolving phlegm, relieving cough, sobering up and reducing fire, and clearing heart. Squeezing its fresh juice has a therapeutic effect on stomach diseases, and long-term consumption of Radix Isatidis can also promote the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers.

4. Lotus root

Lotus root has the following therapeutic effects:

Clearing heat and cooling blood: lotus root is cold, which has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood and can be used to treat fever; Lotus root is sweet and light, which is especially beneficial to people with fever, thirst, epistaxis and hemoptysis.

Stop diarrhea, strengthen spleen and stimulate appetite: Lotus root contains mucin and dietary fiber, which can be combined with cholate in human body, cholesterol and triglyceride in food, so that it can be discharged from feces, thus reducing the absorption of lipids. Lotus root gives off a unique fragrance, and also contains tannin, which has certain functions of invigorating spleen, stopping diarrhea, stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, stimulating appetite and strengthening the body, and is beneficial to the recovery of people with poor appetite.

Nourishing blood and promoting granulation: Lotus root has high nutritional value, is rich in trace elements such as iron and calcium, and is rich in plant protein, vitamins and starch, which has obvious functions of invigorating qi and blood and enhancing human immunity. Therefore, Chinese medicine calls it: "the Lord nourishes the spirit, benefiting qi and tonifying deficiency."

Hemostasis and blood stasis: Lotus root contains a lot of tannic acid, which has the effect of contracting blood vessels and can be used to stop bleeding. Lotus root can also cool blood and disperse blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it can stop bleeding without leaving blood stasis, which is a good diet for fever.

In addition, Pan Ling and Li Deliang from the Institute of Natural Medicine of Yunnan Baiyao Group Co., Ltd. evaluated the weight-reducing and lipid-lowering effects of lotus root residue, lotus root node and lotus root bud on adult obese rats. It is found that lotus root nodes and lotus root buds can reduce the weight of rats. The amount of abdominal fat also showed a decreasing trend. Lotus root can also significantly prevent the increase of blood insulin in nutritional obesity rat model and improve its insulin sensitivity index. The experiment shows that lotus root is helpful to prevent obesity and diabetes.

5. potatoes

In the Dietary Guide for China Residents compiled by China Nutrition Association, the second article advises people to "eat more vegetables (vegetables and food), fruits and potatoes". Among the top ten healthy foods recommended by the US Department of Agriculture a few years ago, potatoes are also among the best.

Usually potato foods include potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro and so on. When many people mention potatoes, they think that potato food has no value except a lot of starch. In fact, although the starch content of potatoes is higher than that of ordinary vegetables, they are genuine low-fat and high-fiber foods. Potatoes contain almost no fat, but are rich in dietary fiber, which has a good effect on promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis and preventing constipation. Moreover, potatoes are typical foods with high potassium and low sodium, and their high potassium content makes many fruits ashamed. As far as vitamins are concerned, potatoes not only contain vitamin C that is completely absent in cereals, but also contain a variety of B vitamins. Polyphenols in potatoes also have good antioxidant and cardiovascular disease prevention effects.

However, in order to give full play to the advantages of potatoes, it is best to eat them as staple food. As a staple food, they can give full play to their original nutritional advantages without adding salt, sugar and oil. At the same time, potatoes, as a staple food, have a slower rise in blood sugar and a stronger sense of fullness compared with rice noodles, which is helpful to prevent obesity and diabetes and control blood pressure. When potatoes are used instead of cereals, the daily total starch content will not increase, and may even decrease. However, the intake of vitamins will greatly increase, and there will be more fibers and minerals, which will be of great help to improve the nutritional quality of a day.
