"An autumn rain and a cold", the weather is cool, in the autumn rainy days, sometimes there is no time to feel the "autumn dryness", but first produce sad emotions, into the "emotional disease".
When the autumn rain is long, the sun exposure is small, which will easily lead to human physiological rhythm disorders and endocrine disorders, and disorders of emotional and mental states.
Chinese medicine believes that autumn is the season of the lungs, the "lungs" in the five internal organs are gold, the "sadness" in the seven emotions is also gold, the autumn is dry, the grass is dry and the leaves fall, people's ability to regulate adverse stimuli declines, emotional fluctuations fluctuate, are easily suppressed, and produce depression, irritability and other emotions.
The main manifestations of autumn's "emotional illness" are low mood, difficulty concentrating, and even panic, dreams, insomnia and so on. But we don't have to worry, when the rainy weather dissipates and the sun shines normally, go out to bask in the sun and do more outdoor activities, most of the "emotional diseases" will be cured without medicine.
On days when there is not enough sunshine, we can also do things that are conducive to nourishing and adjusting the heart to help the body eliminate bad emotions.
First of all, the most important thing is to eat breakfast and go to bed early at night.
Breakfast should not only be eaten, but also eaten well, so that there is enough energy to cope with the busyness of the day, often do not eat breakfast, easy to be listless, and the qi and blood supply can not keep up.
At night, we should try to fall asleep at 10 o'clock, and adequate sleep is not only conducive to physical rest and recovery, but also tends to be inward because of the body's yang qi introverted, in order to nourish the yang qi.
Before falling asleep, you can also soak your feet with hot water, so that the blood temperature of your feet is increased, the speed is accelerated, the blood flow back is smoother, and the meridians are unclogged, which can not only alleviate the disease, but also smooth the mood.
Going to bed early and getting up early, the law of three meals, is what the famous qing dynasty doctor Zhang Yin'an said: "Living is constant, nourishing its gods."
Diet can eat more protein, calcium supplement food, such as walnuts, fish, milk, eggs, lean meat, soy products, etc., these foods can make the brain produce a special chemical, can eliminate depression.
Chinese medicine believes that when the mood is low, we should pay attention to nourishing the heart and liver, and drink more rose tea, chrysanthemum tea, lotus seed tea, bergamot tea, and jasmine tea, because they have the effect of clearing the liver and relieving depression. Eat more lotus roots, lotus seeds, lilies, red dates, longan, etc., they have the effect of nourishing the mind and calming the mind, which is very helpful for anxiety and depression.
Recently, I am also depressed, I pay special attention to my work and diet, I have made lotus lily cake several times to eat, simple and delicious, but also to nourish the mind, and therefore tried a new filling taste.
Lily cake, lotus cake have actually been written before, this time just put the two ingredients together to make, well, also added with dried yam.
Lilies should choose a slightly bitter medicinal lily, only the medicinal lily can have the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the spirit, and have a therapeutic effect on insomnia and dreams, and mental trance. And the medicinal lily can supplement the lung yin and clear the lung heat, and it is very suitable to take the medicinal lily in autumn.
Lotus seeds not only nourish the heart but also have a spleen effect, Huai yam is to nourish the spleen, lungs, kidneys, and lilies together, increase the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the spirit, while also strengthening the spleen and stomach, so that the body that has just entered the autumn further regulates the spleen and stomach.
The materials and production methods are relatively simple for everyone's reference.
Fresh medicine lily 100 g Dried lotus seeds 80 g Dried yam 50 g Sugar 60 g Low gluten flour 60 g Butter 50 g
The amount of sugar can be increased or decreased by its own taste. Butter can be replaced with vegetable oil.
Filling: Cream cheese 180 g Sugar 30 g Milk powder 20 g Starch 20 g
I can make stuffing without filling, and I make fillings because Agu likes to eat stuffing.
Lotus seeds Add water to a pot with yam, bring to a boil over high heat and reduce heat until soft (about 40-50 minutes), and cook the last 15 minutes with lilies. (If it is a dried lily, put it together at the beginning)
After cooking soft and rotten, look at the amount of water in the pot, if there is more water, you can burn it for a while, so that the amount of water is less, which can reduce the time of stir-frying later.
Lotus Lily With yam, beat it together in a blender to make the puree, as delicate as possible, so that it can not be sieved.
Add sugar, low gluten flour and butter to a pan and stir-fry over low heat to form a ball. If you have left a lot of water in the previous boil, you need to fry the water to reduce it, and then add flour and butter.
The filling is very simple, after the cream cheese is softened at room temperature, add other ingredients and mix well.
After the sautéed dough has cooled, wrap in the filling and roll into a circle.
If the fried dough retains more moisture and is softer, then after wrapping the filling, it cannot be pressed with a mold, but it can be put in a paper cup, flattened, and then use a toothpick to draw some lines on the surface.
If the fried dough has less moisture, you can use the mold to press it into the shape you want after wrapping the filling.
If you don't want to have a filling, you can directly divide the fried dough into small pieces, and then use the mold to press it into various shapes.
After all cooking, bake at 180 degrees in the oven for 10-15 minutes. finish.
The prepared lotus lily cake, after cooling, should be taken out of the paper cup in time, and can be stored for about 2-3 days at room temperature, of course, it is best to store it in the refrigerator.
If placed at room temperature, it can be eaten directly. Refrigerated storage should be reheated and eaten.
The shape of the paper cup is what I prefer, because the cheese filling can be put in the amount as much as I like, Agu likes to fill more, I will make a few more fillings, I myself like to stuff less, just put less.
This pastry is a reference to the cheese mooncake method, the choice of cheese filling, one is simple to make, the second is that cheese has the effect of tonifying the lungs, moisturizing the intestines, nourishing the yin, and the third is that the cheese contains more calcium, which is a good choice for children.
Well, also used egg yolk quicksand filling, making more troublesome, 5 cooked salted egg yolks, sugar 25 grams, milk powder 15 grams, light cream 50 grams, milk 10 grams, starch 10 grams, egg yolk mashed into puree, add other ingredients to mix well, and then heat over low heat to the thickness you want.
If you want more quicksand, you can boil it thinner. After the egg yolk quicksand filling is made and cooled, it should be refrigerated or frozen, and when the filling is needed, it should be wrapped as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to melt, and the operation is more troublesome.
Relatively speaking, our family prefers cheese filling, cheese itself will have a slightly sour taste, the overall taste of lotus lily cake is very soft and delicate, similar to the texture of mung bean cake, but because of the slight acid of cheese, it will feel more refreshing to eat.
