“Eating seasonal vegetables is a gem of the Chinese nation’s food-giving health. This is the idea that we emphasize the quest for harmony between man and nature.” Yang Li, a well-known TCM health expert, said that “the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic” has “divisions prepared for the age”. The phrase "material" refers to the fact that people should follow nature's yin and yang gasification to prepare for food. The spring is a good time for all kinds of seasonal vegetables to be marketed. “Food Valley” means to eat more seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Eat right is health

As we all know, Zi Lu and Yan Hui are two students of Confucius. One year in winter, both students came to see the teacher. On the road back a bag of spring bamboo shoots, Confucius only looked at one, did not show a particularly happy appearance. Yan Hui chose to take a radish and cabbage. Confucius welcomed it with a smile.

Zilu said that you and your teacher are eccentric eyes. I finally found a bag of spring bamboo shoots from house to house. As a result, you are not satisfied. Yan Hui did not pick a radish cabbage. You are so happy. Confucius said, "Ye Zi Lu, you let me eat spring bamboo shoots in the winter, the winter is the Lord's collection, and my masculinity has been sent out, but also let the teacher winter? However, Yan Hui returned to pick up the radish cabbage in winter. This is a seasonal dish in winter. I am of course pleased. Zilu said that it was the same thing. Then I told the teacher.

In fact, this story illustrates well what Confucius had once said, 'From time to time, not to eat'. This tells us that since ancient times, diets and health care have paid attention to dishes that are not in line with solar terms, and try not to eat as much as possible.

Spring can eat more

Seedlings and sprouts

Food is odorous. The smell is only in season, that is, it grows and matures in line with the solar terms. It can get the essence of heaven and earth, strong smell, and high nutritional value. On the contrary, some anti-season fruits and vegetables contravene the law of coldness and heat growth of “spring life, summer, autumn harvest, and winter collections”, resulting in food that is not cold and hot, smells confusing, and has no temperament of order, which is unique and has no quality. . Then, in conjunction with the theory of “Yang Yang in Spring and Summer, Yin in Autumn and Winter”, what seasonal fruits and vegetables should be eaten in spring?

First of all, in the spring, we should eat more sporadial food to help the body heat up yang, mainly including seedlings and buds such as bean sprouts, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, spring bamboo shoots, lettuce, citron, pea sprouts and so on. In addition, Yang Yang in spring, you can eat more partial temperature-positive foods, such as leeks, from the meat point of view, like chicken, eggs, etc. are a good choice.

Second, spring can eat some wild vegetables, especially leeks. Because of the spring life, some people with high blood pressure like hepatitis or liver qi can eat it.

Third, from the fruit, the seasonal fruits such as strawberry, plum, and apricot are mostly sour and sour, and they have nourishing human liver. People with deficiency of the liver (often apathetic) must eat more sour liver, if the liver is really spleen deficiency people (tempered temper, poor digestion), to increase the sugar and acid. Like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to drink alcohol, and there was a hero who used it to make wine. In fact, plum has the effect of relieving alcoholism and raising liver.

Eat seasonal food

Also need to vary from person to person

In the spring, you can take some honey. These honeys are brewed from early spring flowers. They have the function of germinating and replenishing yang. In particular, in the morning, you can rinse with a glass of honey water with warm boiled water. Then. Or honey and milk, together with a few slices of oatmeal, served as a very nutritious breakfast.

However, although honey is good, it is not suitable for anyone. People like diabetes can't take it casually, or if some people have diarrhea and other stomach upset symptoms after drinking honey water, it also shows that honey is not suitable for their own constitution.

In addition to the seasonal food, you can also eat some regular foods in the spring, such as soy milk, yams, and animal livers with eyesight, but patients with high cholesterol like animal viscera should have less food. In addition, the spring wind, causing wind evil prone to runny nose, cold symptoms, Yang Li suggested that when cooking can put some ginger, play a role in wind.
