Never eat some cold or sticky food, which is not only bad for digestion, but also seriously damages the health of our spleen and stomach.
The old saying also tells us that we should never be on an empty stomach in winter morning, which is not good for our health. It is recommended to take some ginger in moderation every morning, which can drive away the wind and keep out the cold.
In daily diet, we must pay attention to scientific diet and take more vitamins in kind, such as radish, rape, spinach and bean sprouts, which are all very good choices. If you want better health care in winter, this is a very effective way to eat. You can eat more beef and mutton in moderation, which can play a good health care role.
