Sea cucumbers are extremely ancient sea creatures, dating back more than 500 million years to the Cambrian period.
In Chinese history, sea cucumbers have written records as early as the Jin Dynasty. At that time, it was called "earth meat", which said: "Earth meat, just black, like a child's arms, five inches long, with a belly, no mouth, thirty legs, hot food." ”
Since the Ming Dynasty, it has officially become a court dish, and as a valuable tonic, it is also widely recognized among the people.
Sea cucumber is high in nutrition, high protein, low fat, low cholesterol, tender meat, rich cooking methods, is a good choice for many elderly people to nourish and preserve.

Summer came and talked to everyone.
It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Sea cucumber, sweet and salty, tonic kidney, essence, urine, aphrodisiac treatment, its sexual temperature supplement, full of enemy ginseng, hence the name sea cucumber." ”
This means that sea cucumbers have a good tonic effect, which is enough to match the ginseng.
One
Nourish the kidneys and essence, nourish the yin and nourish the blood
Arginine in sea cucumber is the main component of male sperm cells, and has the function of regulating sex hormones, and sea cucumber is precisely the "arginine monopoly", arginine is the main component of male sperm cells to enhance the vitality of the body, strengthen the kidney, improve the quality of life.

Chondroitin sulfate can enhance skin elasticity and regulate menstruation. In addition, arginine also has the ability to promote the regeneration of human cells and repair of body damage.

The content of arginine in sea cucumbers is higher than that of other organisms, and it has a special effect on neurasthenia, so eating sea cucumbers has obvious effects on improving sleep. The elements such as niacin, calcium, taurine, and lysine in sea cucumber also have important effects on restoring brain fatigue and enhancing memory ability.

They are directly involved in physiological activities such as human growth and development, immune mediation, wound healing, reproductive development, etc., and play an important role in the body's energy reserve and operation.
It can be seen from this that sea cucumber is indeed a rare "yin and yang double supplement" tonic.
The nutritional value of sea cucumbers is so powerful, but the way to eat them is very basic.
As long as it is soaked well, it can be eaten directly after cooking.
However, I recommend eating sea cucumbers on an empty stomach in the morning, not only absorbing quickly, but also basically not losing nutrients.
For breakfast, sea cucumbers can be chopped and boiled until cooked before making sea cucumber porridge. Then put the chopped sea cucumber into the porridge, add a small amount of salt and sugar, an appropriate amount of shredded ginger, and simmer for another 5 minutes before it can be out of the pot.
In this way, sea cucumber porridge retains the nutrients of sea cucumbers, and adding ginger shreds has a more stomach-warming effect. This way of eating is more suitable for the elderly who usually eat sea cucumbers, not only good nutrient absorption, but also the taste is softer, and it will not hurt the stomach, which is good for the frail and cold of the elderly.
For postpartum weak mothers or people who need to supplement after surgery, a small amount of sea fungus can be chopped and put into stirred eggs to steam custard, which has a good effect of nourishing yin and blood.
Writing here, I remember that I asked before that the tendons of sea cucumbers can be eaten? She usually removes the tendons along with the sand spout.
The tendons of sea cucumbers are not only edible, but also have a very high nutritional value. In the origin of sea cucumbers, it is also known as "sea dragon silk", which is the highest content of sea cucumbers in sea cucumbers, and is also rich in rare nutrients such as acid chondroitin and arginine, so you must remember to keep sea cucumber tendons when eating sea cucumbers.
Chinese nourishment requires long-term persistence, of course, eating sea cucumber nourishment is also the same, feel the change brought by long-term nourishment in the "moisturizing and silent".
