What should we eat during the Cold Dew? What are the dietary requirements for the Cold Dew?
Introduction: Cold Dew is an important solar term in our country, and there are many things to pay attention to during Cold Dew. So what should we eat during the Cold Dew? What are the dietary requirements for health preservation during the Cold Dew? Mr. Shui Mo has carefully compiled detailed information about the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018. If you want to know the auspicious and inauspicious days in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, please go to Mr. Shui Mo.What should we eat during Cold Dew?1: Lotus seeds <br /> Eating lotus seeds in autumn is still based on seasonal diet recipes and can nourish the heart and kidneys.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lotus seeds are sweet and astringent in taste, neutral in nature, and enter the heart, spleen, and kidney meridians. They are mainly used to treat spleen and stomach weakness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, excessive leucorrhea, spermatorrhea due to kidney deficiency, frequent urination, deficiency of both the heart and spleen, and insomnia. It is usually eaten as cooked food, or made into soups, pills, or powders. It should be noted that people with abdominal distension or dry stools should not eat lotus seeds. 2: Chinese Yam <br /> Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Chinese Yam can nourish kidney qi, strengthen spleen and stomach, stop diarrhea, resolve phlegm, and can replenish the five kinds of labor and seven kinds of injuries, calm the mind, soothe the soul, and replenish the heart qi. Yam has the effects of nourishing, enhancing the body's immunity, relieving cough, expectorant and relieving asthma. Yam can be sliced and boiled as tea, or it can be cut into small pieces and cooked into porridge. It has a good therapeutic effect on patients with deficiency cough and tuberculosis fever. Yam contains amylase, polyphenol oxidase and other substances, which are beneficial to the spleen and stomach digestion and absorption; yam contains a large amount of mucus protein, vitamins and trace elements, which can effectively prevent the precipitation of blood lipids in the blood vessel walls, prevent cardiovascular diseases, and have the effect of prolonging life. The best way to eat it is to steam it, make it into soup, or stir-fry it. Steaming it will minimize nutritional loss. Three: Tremella <br /> Tremella is a good food for nourishing yin and moistening dryness. It is moist without being cold, sweet without being greasy, and nourishing without being stagnant, which is just right for the principle of balanced nourishment in autumn. There are many ways to eat Tremella, the most common way is Tremella soup. Tear the white fungus into small pieces and soak it in water for about 1 hour. When eating, take an appropriate amount of soaked white fungus and add an appropriate amount of rock sugar (optional for diabetics) and boil it with water. You can also add some pears, lilies, dates, wolfberries, etc. to better nourish the yin and moisten the lungs. Note: Although Tremella fuciformis is good, it is not suitable for everyone. People with cough and phlegm, or those with yang deficiency, fear of cold, damp heat and jaundice should not eat Tremella fuciformis. People who have diarrhea after eating it should also not take it. What are the dietary requirements for health preservation during the Cold Dew season?Five taboos for "harvesting" during the Cold Dew solar term sound the alarm for healthWhen the weather turns cold, it is the time when the Yang energy of the human body is restrained and the Yin essence is hidden inside, so the main focus should be on maintaining the Yin essence. In other words, the principle of "nurturing and collecting" should be emphasized in health preservation during the Cold Dew period. It is better to go to bed early and get up early after the Cold Dew. Going to bed early allows the storage of Yin essence, and getting up early allows the relaxation of Yang energy. Ensure adequate sleep and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Modern studies have shown that getting up early in the fall can reduce the chance of thrombosis; lying down for a few minutes before getting up and stretching the whole body are also important for preventing thrombosis. According to traditional Chinese medicine, avoiding cold after the Cold Dew season is very important for good health. Therefore, do not often expose your body to prevent cold air from invading your body. At the same time, you can basically put away your summer sandals to prevent "cold from the feet". The four major parts of the body should not be exposed to cold and should be kept warm to avoid diseases .<br /> After the Cold Dew, the temperature will drop more and the temperature difference between day and night will increase. At this time, most people, especially the elderly and children with weaker resistance, should keep warm, otherwise they will easily catch a cold. Since ancient times, feet have been considered the second heart of the human body. From the perspective of health preservation theory, the feet are farthest from the human heart and bear the heaviest burden. Therefore, this place is most likely to cause poor blood circulation. In addition, the fat layer of the feet is very thin and has poor thermal insulation performance, making them easily affected by cold stimulation. The temperature gradually becomes cooler in autumn, and the gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to cold stimulation. If it is not properly protected, it will cause gastrointestinal diseases or make existing stomach problems worse. Therefore, after the Cold Dew season, you should pay special attention to taking good care of your stomach. Cold Dew brings damage to the stomach and intestines The gastrointestinal tract is particularly sensitive to cold stimulation. During the Cold Dew solar term, you should eat less spicy, dry, smoked and roasted foods. Instead, eat more sesame, walnut, white fungus, radish, tomato, lotus root, lily, adenophora and other foods that have the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, and benefiting the stomach and producing body fluids. You should eat warm food for breakfast, and it is best to drink hot medicinal porridge, because both polished rice and glutinous rice have excellent effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach and replenishing the middle qi, such as sugarcane porridge, polygonatum porridge, adenophora porridge, rehmannia glutinosa porridge, polygonatum porridge, etc. Middle-aged and elderly people and patients with chronic diseases should eat more red dates, lotus seeds, yam, duck, fish, meat and other foods. At the same time, the indoor humidity should be maintained at a certain level and attention should be paid to replenishing water. Cold Dew is the beginning of autumn, a season of alternating hot and cold weather. In autumn, autumn dryness and cold stomach and intestines are annoying things. The following three warm drinks are recommended to warm up your stomach. |
