1 duck meat
People often say that "chicken, duck and fish" are four kinds of meat. The protein content of duck meat is much higher than that of other livestock meat, and the fat content is moderate and evenly distributed. Affected by summer evil, people in summer eat less and sleep less. Many people are thinner and need supplements. Summer tonic should not eat fatty and hot things, for the hot climate, ducks are actually very beneficial.
Duck meat is cool, which has the effects of invigorating spleen and qi, nourishing yin and stomach, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. The choice of duck breeds is also particular. Beijing roast duck is delicious, but its fat content is as high as 40%. It is too greasy to eat in summer. It is best to choose thinner lake ducks and blue-headed ducks (the feathers on their heads are blue-green), which have less oil and strong diuretic and dehumidifying effects.
Chicken soup tastes like duck. It is best to stew duck meat in summer, which is not only delicious, but also the most nourishing. Stewed ham and sea cucumber with duck meat to nourish the yin of the five internal organs; Glutinous rice porridge with duck meat has the functions of nourishing stomach, enriching blood and promoting fluid production. Stewed duck with kelp can soften blood vessels, lower blood pressure and prevent arteriosclerosis, hypertension and heart disease.
Although duck meat is rich in nutrition, it should be noted that duck meat is rich in fat and should not be eaten more. Especially people with obesity and arteriosclerosis should eat less. People who have a cold should not eat it. People who have a cold should eat pungent and scattered food, while ducks raise and love evil, which can make the cold lingering and difficult to heal. Patients with chronic enteritis should use it with caution, because duck meat is sweet and salty, slippery and rich in oil, which will aggravate enteritis and diarrhea.
2. Pork
Pork is warm and sweet, and has the effects of moistening stomach, promoting fluid production, invigorating kidney and qi, and clearing away heat and toxic materials. It is mainly used for treating body fluid injury caused by fever, thirst, emaciation, kidney deficiency and weakness, postpartum blood deficiency, dry cough, constipation, tonifying deficiency, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, nourishing liver and yin, moistening skin and diuresis, and quenching thirst. Pork soup can make up for irritability, dry cough, constipation, dystocia and other symptoms caused by insufficient body fluid. Pork is flat and can be eaten in summer.
Modern medical research believes that pork contains a lot of high-quality protein and essential fatty acids, which can promote the absorption of iron and effectively improve iron deficiency anemia.
Some people often soak the fresh pork they bought in hot water, which will make the pork lose a lot of nutrients. Therefore, pork should not be soaked in hot water, but washed quickly with cold water.
Although pork is a daily food, ordinary healthy people and people with diseases can eat it, but eating too much will make people fat and cause wind phlegm. Eating too much or eating cold food will easily cause flatulence, bloating and diarrhea. For fat meat and lard, people with high blood pressure or hemiplegia (stroke), and people with insufficient stomach, insufficient fat, excessive phlegm and indigestion, we should eat carefully or eat less. Generally all medicines are lean pork.
Step 3 fish
Fish should be eaten in different seasons. Nutrition experts suggest that summer is definitely the "golden season" for eating fish. Fish close to spawning period such as yellow croaker are preferred in summer. At present, it is the spawning season of large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, mackerel, Spanish mackerel, salmon and turbot, so it is most suitable to eat these kinds of fish in summer.
Eating more fish is good for your health. The protein content of fish is as high as 18%, with good ingredients and rich and comprehensive amino acid content. It contains more than 20 kinds of essential amino acids. Fish is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in blood and prevent thrombosis. It is the protector of heart and blood vessels. Eating fish in summer is also more conducive to reducing the burden on the digestive system.
As for cooking methods, people tend to be hot and dry in summer. In terms of cooking methods, you can choose steaming and stewing soup. In the choice of ingredients, you may wish to eat more cold fish such as soft-shelled turtle and cuttlefish. Some people with spleen and stomach deficiency are afraid of cold, so add some onions, ginger, peppers and garlic when cooking.
For warm fish, you can eat it with some cool food and put less pepper. For example, when cooking grass carp and catfish, you can add some tofu, white radish, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and wax gourd to stew together. Eel can be fried with cabbage, and finally vinegar can effectively remove heat.
4. Rabbit meat
Rabbit meat is cool, which has the effects of invigorating spleen, tonifying middle energizer, cooling blood and detoxifying, and is also suitable for summer consumption. Rabbit meat is called "health meat", "essence of meat", "beauty meat" and "hundred flavors meat". Eating rabbit meat regularly can strengthen the body and not accumulate fat, so it is an ideal meat for obese patients. Women can keep slim and have the effect of getting rid of diseases and strengthening the body.
Rabbit meat is a kind of meat with high protein, low fat and low cholesterol. Fresh and tender texture, delicious taste and rich nutrition. Compared with other meats, it has a high digestibility (up to 85%) and is easy to digest and absorb after eating, which is not available in other meats.
Fresh rabbit meat, shiny muscles, uniform red color and light yellow fat; The muscle surface is slightly dry or wet and does not stick to hands; The muscles are elastic, and the depression will recover immediately after pressing the muscles with your fingers.
Rabbit meat is suitable for frying, roasting, stewing and other cooking methods, and can also be braised, steamed and stewed in soup pot. There are almost no tendons in rabbit meat, so rabbit meat must be cut along the fiber line. After heating, the shape of the dishes can be kept neat and beautiful, and the meat taste is more tender. If it is not cut properly, rabbit meat will become breadcrumbs after heating, and it is not easy to cook.
note:
Pick meat with less oil
Another trick to eating meat in summer is to find the meat with the least oil. Let's compare the fat content of various meats: chicken 9,4%, duck19,7%, pork 37%, beef 4,2%, mutton 4,0/%,rabbit 2,2%, fish 1-3%, among which rabbit meat and fish fat.
Just a reminder, in order to improve the heat resistance in summer, we should avoid eating too much food and less meat in protein, but the basic needs must be guaranteed. There are half a catty of grain, 1 two fish or lean meat, two boiled tofu, 1 egg, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 catty of vegetables and 1 catty of fruit every day, which can basically meet people's daily needs.
Eat less three kinds of meat:
The first meat product is beef brisket.
Speaking of beef brisket, we all know that it is very expensive, much more expensive than our most common beef. Because the brisket is tender, most friends like to stew it with potatoes, but its freshness is not high enough this season.
The second meat product is pork loin.
When we go to the meat products section of the supermarket, we often see visceral ingredients such as pig kidney, cow kidney and sheep kidney. Why not buy pig kidneys in this season? Because in this season, the weather is hot and the temperature is too high. Although these internal organs are put in the freezer, they are also easy to deteriorate. Most obviously, they stink.
The third meat product is frozen fish.
I suggest you eat more fresh fish in summer, which has high nutritional value and tender taste. If we go directly to the supermarket to buy that kind of frozen fish, the taste of this kind of fish may be poor, and it will still smell after thawing, which is not fresh enough to eat and has no nutritional price, so Bian Xiao does not recommend you to buy more and eat more.
