5.rice cake

The custom of eating "Lianggao" has a long history in Beijing.

What should we pay attention to in cold diet?

A cold is healthy. Let's come together from diet, daily life, exercise and daily life:

To maintain a healthy diet in severe cold, warm food and green food should be the main foods. Because "Great Cold" and later "beginning of spring" are in a transitional period, seasonal changes should also be considered in diet. Eating cold food too early will only make the stomach uncomfortable, even vomiting and diarrhea.

Because the "Great Cold" period coincides with the Spring Festival, the average family will prepare rich holiday food. If you can properly choose delicious and healthy food, it is undoubtedly the best way to keep fit in the cold. Therefore, as the saying goes, "medicine is better than food", this old saying is not unreasonable.

Warm soup porridge warms the stomach and heart.

"Great cold, cold, drink ginseng and astragalus wine early, and take Qiju Dihuang pills at night." The old saying is really incisive In this season of breathing into ice, watching the blue flames licking the bottom of the pot in the kitchen, the small casserole is steaming, the strange stewed chicken, the yam mutton soup, the eight-treasure rice ... the faint fragrance gets into the nostrils, and the appetite is greatly increased.

Eat more black food.

When the severe cold meets beginning of spring, the amount of tonic should be gradually reduced to adapt to the seasonal changes. Some foods with ascending and dispersing characteristics should be properly added in tonic to prepare for the ascending and dispersing characteristics in spring. This period is a period of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases such as colds, so it is necessary to eat more foods that warm and disperse the wind and cold to prevent the invasion of wind and cold pathogens. The foods commonly used in daily diet to relieve pungent smell and dispel cold are perilla leaf, ginger, green onion, pepper, pepper, cinnamon and so on. In diet, it is better to eat warm food, avoid sticky cold and eat hot food. But don't overeat hot and dry things, and don't overeat fruits that are too cold and out of season.

In cold weather, in order to maintain a certain amount of calories, the human body must increase the decomposition of sugar, fat and protein in the body, generate more energy to meet the needs of the body, and must eat more foods rich in "energy" and vitamins. Cold will also affect the human urinary system, increase urination, and more inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium and calcium will be excreted with urine. You should also eat more foods rich in inorganic salts, such as animal viscera, lean meat, fish, eggs, etc., and you can also eat turtles, sea cucumbers, longan and chestnuts for isothermal tonic food. Leek, yam, black fungus, taro, red dates, etc. They are all warm foods, which have the effect of warming the kidney. Shrimp and sea cucumber also have the function of tonifying kidney. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, food has five colors and flavors, of which black belongs to the kidney and salty belongs to the kidney. So eat more black food, and the taste can be slightly salty.
