Where is the best way to eat turnips in winter?

"Eating turnips in winter" generally refers to white radish, white radish is cool is not wrong, and it is also reasonable to advocate eating turnips in winter.

Chen Wenli introduced that in the famous chinese medicine book "On Typhoid Fever", it is said that in autumn and winter, the qi turns cold, the yang qi begins to converge, and the skin is also in a contracted state, which can well protect the yang qi hidden in the body, and the human body is in a state of external cold and internal heat. When too much warm food is eaten, the spleen and stomach that are already hot will continue to increase heat.

Children are often born with insufficient spleen, digestive function is not as good as adults, eat more points is easy to accumulate food. Chinese medicine believes that radish has less calories and more water, has a strong function of qi, and can pass through the qi of the internal organs, so it also has a relieving effect on bloating and food accumulation.

Accumulated food will produce internal heat, so many children will have dry mouth and bad breath, constipation, sore throat, rhinitis and so on. At this time, it is better to eat some "cold" food to clear the heat.

In addition, the child's internal organs are delicate and delicate, and it is easy to be hurt by autumn dryness, so there are many children with colds and coughs in autumn and winter. When the child has cold fever, cough, dry mouth, yellow tongue, and viscous sputum, you can boil white radish water or radish soup for the child, and the effect is quite good.

How to eat radish with spleen and stomach deficiency?

But although the white radish is good, there are many people who are not suitable, such as adults and children with cold cough, spleen and stomach deficiency and qi deficiency. What should these people eat and how should they eat?

Chen Wenli introduced that although the white radish is cold, it will become relatively peaceful after cooking, and it will not be too cold.

If your baby's spleen and stomach are severely cold, you can also choose to eat green-skinned radish, red-skinned radish or carrot. Green-skinned radish has a good effect on lung and stomach qi, red-skinned radish and carrot are relatively mild in nature, and babies and adults with spleen and stomach deficiency and qi deficiency can eat it.

Radish medicine dietary remedy

Five elements of radish soup

Ingredients: 300 grams of pork ribs, 100 grams of yam cut into small pieces, 50 grams of radish cut into small pieces, 4 red dates, 10 goji berries, green onion, ginger and garlic and other appropriate amounts.

Directions: Put the ribs and the green onion, ginger and garlic together in a pot and simmer over high heat; when the water boils, add the dates and goji berries and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. When you can poke in the meat with chopsticks, add yam and radish and stew it.

Eating radish has these precautions

Do not eat white radish and carrots together: Although carrots and white radish have many benefits for children, eating these two kinds of radish together will reduce the nutrition of both.

White radishes are high in vitamin C, while carrots contain a breakdown enzyme that fights vitamin C, which destroys the vitamin C in white radishes. The encounter between the two makes the vitamin C in the white radish lose a lot, and its nutritional value is naturally greatly reduced.

Should not be eaten with acidic fruits: radish will produce an antithyroid substance thiocyanic acid, if you eat a large number of oranges, apples, grapes and other fruits at the same time, the flavonoids in the fruit will be converted into thiocyanic acid that inhibits the action of the thyroid gland after bacterial decomposition in the intestine, which in turn induces goiter.

It should not be eaten with ginseng and astragalus: radish has the effect of "lower qi" and "dissipation", so eating with qi tonic drugs (such as ginseng, ginseng, etc.) will have a certain obstacle to the efficacy of the drug. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
