The general principle of a healthy diet in winter is to conform to the latent yang in the body, take the convergence of yang and protection of yin as the foundation, reduce the taste and give priority to nourishing the heart. During the winter solstice, the cold has arrived, and the level of human metabolism is relatively low. At this time, it mainly depends on the kidney to play its role. The stronger the function of the kidney, the more vigorous the vitality, so the diet should also be based on "nourishing the kidney". Since ancient times, winter solstice is the best tonic season, which can enhance the human body's ability to resist cold and external evils. Therefore, you can choose beef and mutton, dog meat, etc. to nourish the viscera, and you can also choose some spicy foods such as pepper, pepper, ginger and garlic as condiments. Here, I'd like to recommend several dietary supplements to you during the winter solstice, which you can choose according to your physique. (1) Mutton pot: 1000g mutton, add appropriate amount of carrots, fresh winter bamboo shoots, peppers and salt, and stew 1 hour. This prescription can strengthen yang, dispel cold and enhance human vitality, and is suitable for people with various constitutions. (2) Radix Polygoni Multiflori and Radix Angelicae Sinensis Chicken Soup: chicken 300-500g, Radix Polygoni Multiflori and Radix Angelicae Sinensis 15-20g, and appropriate amount of Lycium barbarum is added for decoction. This prescription has the effects of nourishing yin and blood, tonifying kidney and essence, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, but it is not suitable for people with diarrhea, flatulence and heavy wet phlegm. (3) Shuang Bian Yangzhuang Soup: Choose 50g of bullwhip, 50g of dog whip 10g, add 50g of mutton and 50g of chicken, wrap 5g of cistanche deserticola, 5g of dodder and 0g of medlar 10g with gauze, and boil the soup in the same pot. This prescription is suitable for people with deficiency of kidney-qi and deficiency of kidney-yang, but it is not suitable for people with strong yang-qi and strong fire. AARON Li

Pay attention to "three more and three less" in diet

Health experts remind that winter solstice is a good time to keep fit, but the public should pay attention to "three more and three less" in diet and health, that is, there are more protein, vitamins and cellulose, and less sugar, fat and salt.

Health experts said that from the perspective of health care, winter is a good time for health care, mainly because "qi begins in winter." Therefore, at this time, festivals should use the way of keeping in good health scientifically and make appropriate adjustments. Because from beginning of winter, life activities began to turn from prosperity to decline, from dynamic to static. At this time, scientific health preservation helps to ensure vigorous energy and prevent premature aging, thus achieving the purpose of prolonging life.

Therefore, the diet should be diversified, cereals, fruits, meat and vegetables should be reasonably matched, and high-calcium foods should be selected appropriately. The food should be light, and you can't eat thick, greasy and salty food. In winter, the yang is weak, and the spleen likes warm and hates cold. It is advisable to eat warm and tonic products to protect the spleen and kidney. Eat less and eat more. Pay attention to "three more and three less", that is, there are more protein, vitamins and cellulose, and less sugar, fat and salt.
