1, lung protection herbal tea
Winter is the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases, and the smog in many cities also hurts people's respiratory tract. Here I recommend several kinds of small herbal teas to protect the lungs, and you can choose according to your needs.
Luohan fruit tea. Siraitia grosvenorii is sweet and cool, which can clear lung, relieve cough, moisten intestines and relieve constipation. Take 5 ~ 8g of Siraitia grosvenorii, shell it, break it, soak it in boiling water, and let it cool. Has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, resolving phlegm, relieving cough, nourishing voice and moistening lung. It should be noted that Siraitia grosvenorii is cold and people with poor gastrointestinal function should not use it more.
Four treasures tea. That is, Ophiopogon japonicus 10g, Platycodon grandiflorum 6g, Flos Lonicerae 10g and Butterfly 3g are soaked in water, which can clear lung and moisten throat, promote fluid production and relieve sore throat. This kind of tea is relatively peaceful in nature, with no obvious side effects, and there is no absolute taboo in the crowd. However, if you find obvious allergic symptoms, you should stop using them in time.
Dendrobium soup. Used for nourishing yin, clearing away heat and protecting lung. If you often feel dry mouth and sore throat, soaking Dendrobium in water can relieve it. Dendrobium candidum is a rare Dendrobium candidum, and it is appropriate to make tea every day 10g. Conditional suggestion is to take it after decocting in water to exert its efficacy. People with heavy phlegm and dampness (thick and greasy tongue coating) and spleen and stomach deficiency and cold (diarrhea) had better take it under the guidance of a doctor.
No matter what kind of medicinal tea you choose, you should eat less spicy, fried and dried puffed food. In addition to drinking herbal tea, it is also recommended that you eat more fruits and lung-moistening foods in winter. Pear is the first choice for moistening lung and dryness, relaxing bowels and relieving cough. In addition, kumquat also has a good cough relieving effect, and you can eat it three times a day, with 5~6 capsules each time. More importantly, pay attention to cold and warmth to avoid colds and fever.
2, Qingfei Huatan food
1, persimmon
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that persimmon is cold, sweet and slightly astringent, and belongs to lung, spleen, stomach and large intestine. It has many functions, such as moistening lung and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, astringing intestine to stop dysentery, invigorating spleen and stomach, promoting fluid production and moistening intestine, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. For people with dry cough and phlegm in autumn, eating persimmons can effectively moisten the lungs and resolve phlegm.
However, it is worth mentioning that for constipation patients, don't eat astringent persimmons. If persimmon skin is astringent, it's best to eat it without skin. Because astringent foods are mostly rich in tannic acid, tannic acid is a kind of astringent substance, which has astringent effect on stool, which is easy to cause dry stool and aggravate constipation symptoms. After peeling persimmon, dietary fiber and pectin in persimmon meat can soften stool and relieve constipation symptoms.
2. peanuts
Peanut contains a large amount of protein and unsaturated fatty acids, which has the functions of strengthening the body resistance, invigorating the spleen and regulating the stomach, moistening the lung and resolving phlegm, nourishing and regulating qi, inducing diuresis to reduce swelling, stopping bleeding and promoting lactation, clearing the throat and stopping malaria, and can also enhance memory, which is of great benefit to babies.
Therefore, all people with lung deficiency, regardless of lung qi deficiency or lung yin deficiency, are suitable for eating with peanuts boiled in water, not after frying.
3. Soy milk
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that soybean milk is good for moistening dryness, clearing lung and resolving phlegm, which is very suitable for drinking in autumn. Soymilk contains female hormones similar to the human body, which helps the skin to be smooth and fair, and can also maintain the posture. Soybean milk is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and fiber. Lecithin can strengthen the brain, regulate blood lipids, increase calcium and bone density, and improve menopausal symptoms after menopause.
In addition to traditional soybean milk, there are many kinds of soybean milk, such as these four foods: red dates, medlar, mung beans and lilies, which are the perfect partners of soybean milk! Drinking in autumn and winter can nourish beauty, dispel cold and warm the body.
