As the saying goes, "Spring is the way to keep fit." It is often said that autumn and winter is a good time for "tonic", which is the so-called "winter tonic". In fact, we should pay more attention to diet in spring to keep healthy. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "man corresponds to heaven and earth", which means that the physiological mechanism of human body should closely correspond to the changes of climate in four seasons.

Now, with the electronic stewing cup, you can stew the soup before going to work in the morning, keep it warm automatically, and you can drink it when you get home from work. Stewing soup seems much easier. But to make a good stew, you need to pay attention to some tips. Master Liang revealed some tips for stewing meat:

Although all the ingredients in the stew are stewed in the pot, the stew is carefully placed. Put the meat at the bottom first, and then stew the herbs and ingredients on it. The soup will be clearer. Don't covet the water outside the cup, because too much water will seep into the cup when cooking, diluting the soup.

Then you have to master the temperature. Electronic stews can be cooked for 3 hours without watching the fire once and for all. However, if you have time to watch the fire, you should use strong fire for half an hour to boil the water in the cup, and then you can use it as a slow fire. This will also stew for 3 hours, so the soup will be more delicious.

The treatment of soup is generally simple, but if there is meat with a strong smell, such as water fish and water snake, you must boil water first and then stew it, and then add ginger slices to taste.

Some northerners think that soup should be spiced, such as onion, garlic, pepper, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate and cooking wine. In fact, judging from the experience of Guangdong people in making soup, these seasonings are unnecessary. If necessary, a piece of ginger is enough. Pay attention to the original flavor of soup, and make healthy soup materials (20 sheets)

As long as the pot is cooked at the right time, the delicious taste of the soup will naturally overflow.

Tangshui culture

Soup is one of the most nutritious and digestible foods that people eat. Generally speaking, it refers to a juicy and delicious drink cooked by boiling, boiling, stewing and steaming with water as the heat transfer medium. It is not only delicious, but also easy to be absorbed because most of the nutrients have been dissolved in water.

Cooking belongs to the cultural category and is a valuable cultural heritage of our Chinese nation. As a part of this cultural heritage, soup is closely related to the ancient culture of the Chinese nation.

Causes of Strengthening Spleen and Eliminating Dampness in Spring

Guangzhou began to enter rainy and humid weather. Many children have weak physical resistance and poor spirit at this time, and always say "so tired". What is the reason? According to the theory of zang-fu organs in traditional Chinese medicine, spring is a season dominated by liver qi, and the liver is vigorous, so the spleen and stomach can not transport water and dampness well. Therefore, it is easy to cause internal stagnation of water and dampness, coupled with the continuous rainy weather in spring, and the stagnation of external dampness blocks the yang of the spleen and stomach, resulting in poor blood gas operation and impassability of meridians, and people will feel tired and sleepy. This is what people call "spring stagnation". Spleen deficiency and dampness excess are the main causes of spring sleepiness.

Moisture generally comes from "cold", so children must pay attention to keep warm and not catch cold; Don't eat anything too cold. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, and eliminate dampness, and properly warm them, so that moisture can be discharged with defecation. In addition, parents should also let their children eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.

Foods for strengthening the spleen include: crucian carp, carrot, apple, yam, millet, lotus seed, amaranth, pork belly, duck, quail and so on.

Dehumidifying foods include: carp, kapok, adzuki bean, day lily, lettuce, coix seed, lentils and wax gourd.

Four seasons are different

Spring health, soup first.

All the year round, spring comes and summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage. Spring is the season when everything recovers, and it is also the best time to keep fit. Medically, it is believed that nourishing the liver in spring, nourishing the heart in summer, nourishing the lungs in autumn and nourishing the kidney in winter, so the spring tonic focuses on nourishing the liver.

In spring, it is advisable to choose light and mild food that can help healthy qi and replenish vitality, and at the same time, it should be nursed back to health according to different constitutions.

People with partial qi deficiency can choose more foods to make soup, such as sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes, eggs, quail eggs, chicken, quail meat, beef, lean meat, fresh fish, peanuts, sesame seeds, Chinese dates, chestnuts and so on. People who are partial to both qi and yin deficiency can choose some foods to make soup, such as carrots, bean sprouts, tofu, lotus roots, water chestnuts, lilies, tremella, mushrooms, duck eggs, duck meat, rabbit meat, field chicken, nail fish and so on. In addition, the spring diet should pay attention to eat more foods with low fat, high vitamins and high minerals, such as fresh shepherd's purse, celery, spinach, Malantou, medlar, Toona sinensis and dandelion. , can play a role in clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and improving eyesight, promoting defecation, strengthening spleen and appetizing.

Summer Liang Qingtang

In summer, hot weather makes people sweat a lot and consume a lot of body fluids and various nutrients, so it is easy to feel weak and thirsty. This is the performance of consuming qi and damaging yin, which usually affects the function of the spleen and stomach, causing loss of appetite and decreased digestive function, so many people will feel deficiency of both qi and yin in summer. According to the principle of "deficiency is qi" in traditional Chinese medicine, summer diet should also pay attention to tonic.

Summer tonic should be based on the principles of clearing away heat, strengthening the spleen, and eliminating dampness. Generally speaking, it is mainly light and nourishing. For example, stewed duck with wax gourd is the best food for summer tonic. In addition, food such as lean pork, fresh fruits and vegetables, Euryale ferox, mung beans, etc. Are they all good dietary supplements for summer tonic?

Drink soup in autumn to nourish the lungs and moisten dryness.

In early autumn, food should be reduced in acrimony and acidity to nourish liver qi. Ancient medical scientists believed that in autumn, the vegetation was scattered, the air was cool, and the human body was easily disturbed by diseases. At this time, nourishing food should be eaten.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is hot and dry, and it is easy to get tired. At this time, we should eat more fresh food and less greasy food. Secondly, we should eat more foods containing vitamins and protein. Modern medicine believes that autumn dryness should eat more foods containing vitamins A, B, C and E, such as carrots, lotus roots, pears, honey, sesame seeds and fungus. To nourish blood and moisten dryness, thus improving the ability to resist autumn dryness and viruses.

Late autumn is the high incidence of myocardial infarction. Hypertension patients tend to have higher blood pressure at the turn of autumn and winter than in summer, so it is easy to cause coronary circulation disorders. At this time, we should pay more attention to the intake of foods containing protein, magnesium, calcium and other nutrients in our daily diet, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

It is better to collect in autumn than to disperse. Therefore, products with sweet, cold and moist taste should be selected in autumn, such as lily, tremella, yam, autumn pear, lotus root, duck, persimmon and sesame. , in order to moisten the lungs and produce fluid, nourish yin and clear coal. It should also be noted that just after summer, the summer heat subsided and people's appetite generally increased. It is not advisable to make up too much at this time, so as not to hurt the stomach too much.

Drinking soup in winter is good for tonic.

Entering winter is the best time for tonic. Modern medicine believes that winter is the coldest season in a year, and everything is in a sealed state, which is the most suitable period for diet conditioning and tonic in a year. Tonifying in winter can improve human immune function, promote new metabolism and improve the phenomenon of chills; It can also regulate the metabolism of substances in the body, so that the energy transformed by nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, which is helpful to the rise of yang in the body and lays a good foundation for the health of the body in the coming year. As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year", which is the truth.

Tonifying soup in winter should be natural, pay attention to nourishing yang, and give priority to warming. According to the principle of "deficiency is tonic, cold is warm" in traditional Chinese medicine, and because of great differences in age, sex and occupation, the choice of winter tonic scheme should vary from person to person. If you are thin, irritable and excitable, you should give priority to "light tonic", use ingredients that nourish yin and promote fluid production, and ban spicy food; Fat and thin people should use warm food and avoid cold, wet, cold and greasy food. Mental workers should eat more foods beneficial to the heart, spleen and kidney, such as eggs, seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements.
