What is the best thing to eat during the Great Cold in 2018? What are the recommended recipes for Dahan?
As the saying goes, "food is the first necessity of the people." As a country with a splendid history of about 5,000 years, China naturally has special requirements on food. So what is the best thing to eat during the Great Cold in 2018? The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also known as the twelfth month and is also the month for sacrifices. In ancient times, sacrifices to ancestors and gods were mostly concentrated in this month. What are the things that we must pay attention to in this month?What is the best thing to eat during the Great Cold in 2018?Since the Great Cold and the Beginning of Spring meet, people should also adapt to the changes of seasons in their diet. The amount of tonic food taken during the Great Cold should be gradually reduced, and more foods with ascending and dispersing properties should be added to adapt to the growth of all things in spring. During the Great Cold season, the diet should reduce saltiness and increase bitterness to nourish the heart and strengthen the kidney qi. Sticky, hard, raw and cold foods should be avoided. Hot foods are preferred to prevent damage to the spleen and stomach yang qi, but dry and hot foods should not be consumed excessively. The taste of food can be stronger, and it should contain a certain amount of lipids and maintain a certain level of calories. In addition, you should eat more yellow-green vegetables, such as carrots, rapeseed, spinach, etc. At this time, you should pay attention to avoid hunger and fullness imbalance. You can eat more foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and eliminating stagnation, such as yam, mountain yam, and zuzi. You can also drink more millet porridge, spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing porridge for conditioning.The Great Cold season is still a good time to take supplements in winter. The focus should be on protecting the spleen and kidneys and regulating the liver and blood. When taking supplements, it is advisable to combine food supplements and medicine supplements, with food supplements as the main focus. People who are prone to yang deficiency should eat warm food, such as mutton, chicken, etc.; people who are prone to yin deficiency should eat yin nourishing food, such as duck meat, goose meat, turtle, tortoise, fungus, etc. When taking tonic medicine, you should choose it according to your constitution and symptoms. For example, people with weak constitution and qi deficiency can take ginseng soup, while those with yin deficiency can take Liuwei Dihuang Pills. People who can drink alcohol can also combine it with medicinal wine for tonic. Common ones include Shiquan Dabu Wine, Jusi Wine, Cordyceps Tonic Wine, etc. In addition, medicinal supplements can also be included in food supplements, because many medicines are food ingredients themselves, such as gousi, yam, lily, etc. Everyone can choose appropriate medicines for supplementation according to their own physical condition. Since the Great Cold and the Beginning of Spring come together, people who are particular about food also adapt to the changes of seasons in their diet. The amount of tonic food taken during the Great Cold gradually decreases, and some foods with ascending and dispersing properties can be appropriately added to adapt to the growth of all things in spring.
