With the acceleration of the pace of life, many people's work and rest time have become irregular, coupled with high work pressure, uncontrolled diet and other reasons, resulting in insufficient liver blood, which in turn leads to a series of sleep problems. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the liver is the main reservoir of blood", "the liver is open to the eyes", when the liver and blood are deficient, not only will there be symptoms such as dry eyes and blurred vision, but also will lead to sleep disorders such as difficulty falling asleep, dreaming and waking up.
Therefore, in spring, the golden season of liver nourishment, it is particularly important to eat some foods that have the effect of nourishing liver and blood, calming the nerves and helping sleep.
Pork liver and spinach soup, as a classic TCM nourishing food remedy, is an ideal choice for this kind of people. Pork liver, known as the "holy product of liver nourishment", is rich in iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid, which are essential nutrients for the synthesis of red blood cells and the maintenance of nervous system health. Moderate consumption of pork liver can effectively replenish liver blood and improve symptoms such as insomnia and dreaminess caused by insufficient liver blood.
Spinach, as a seasonal vegetable in spring, is not only nutritious, but also believed to have the effect of clearing the liver and eyes, moistening the intestines and laxatives in traditional Chinese medicine. Spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, K, minerals such as calcium and iron, and also contains a lot of dietary fiber, which helps to clear the intestines and improve the function of the digestive system. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, spinach enters the liver, stomach, and large intestine meridian, and moderate consumption can nourish the liver and protect the liver.
The cooking process of pork liver spinach soup is also fairly simple. First, the pork liver is cleaned to remove odors, and then cut into thin slices or small pieces for easy flavoring. Next, wash the spinach, remove the old leaves and hard stems, and cut into segments. Then, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put in the pork liver, skim off the foam after boiling over high heat, and add cooking wine to remove the smell. Next, add the spinach segments and continue to cook until the spinach is cooked through and the pork liver changes color. Finally, according to personal taste, add salt, chicken essence and other seasonings to taste, and sprinkle a small amount of white pepper powder before leaving the pot to enhance the flavor.
Pork liver and spinach soup is not only nutritious, but also has a good effect of nourishing liver and blood, calming the nerves and helping sleep. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, it can not only regulate sleep problems caused by insufficient liver and blood, but also serve as a daily health care diet to help modern people improve various health problems caused by bad living habits.
Of course, everyone's physique and health status are different, and it is best to consult a professional TCM practitioner before consuming pork liver and spinach soup, so as to adjust the diet according to individual circumstances to achieve the best health effect.
