Generally speaking, the winter diet should follow the principle of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" and "not disturbing yang" of normal people, that is to say, you can't eat cold food or spicy and dry food, so as not to hurt yang. At the same time, you should pay attention to prevent excessive warming, and it is best to eat some foods with high calorie, such as black fungus.
Because winter mainly nourishes kidney qi, the corresponding taste of kidney is salty. According to the five elements, water is like fire and fire is like heart, and the corresponding taste is bitter, so the diet in winter should be less salty. In winter, kidney qi is strong. Eating more salty food will help kidney qi to be strong, but it is not normal to turn into excitement. It is advisable to increase bitterness, because water can suppress fire, so eating bitterness helps the heart, in case the kidney water is strong, it can suppress fire.
? Food should have heat preservation function. Eat more foods that can increase the calorie supply and are rich in fat, protein and carbohydrates, such as meat, eggs, fish and bean products.
Food should have the function of keeping out the cold. Medical research shows that people's fear of cold is related to the lack of minerals in the body. So pay attention to supplement minerals. China people generally take "five grains as nourishment, five fruits as help, five livestock as benefit and five dishes as stuffing". As long as you don't have a partial eclipse, you can ensure the human body's demand for minerals such as potassium, iron and sodium.
