As we all know, the temperature is the highest in the summer of the year, and the humidity in the summer is also very high, people at this time are prone to irritability, insomnia, dreams, and loss of appetite. After the summer, the sun is very big, the yang energy of the human body is outside, and the cold is inside, the external dampness and the internal cold are combined, the damp and cold qi accumulate too much in the human body, and the spleen and stomach are invaded by dampness and poison.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that dampness is the root of all diseases, and if you don't discharge cold and dampness in summer, you will be easy to get sick in winter, which is what you hear about "winter disease and summer treatment".
After entering the summer, it is recommended to eat 4 kinds of foods that the spleen and stomach like often to help remove dampness and replenish qi and blood!
One, the seeds
It has a super ability to dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen, and many health experts in ancient times also called it "immortal rice". Around us, there are many people who only care about removing dampness, and after a long time, it is easy to aggravate the heat in the body. It can not only strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, but also nourish the kidneys. As we all know, the main water of the kidneys can absorb and reuse the wastewater transported by the spleen and stomach, and then discharge the useless wastewater.
Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty once mentioned in his book "Dongpo Health Collection" that his health regimen method was to eat gourd often. Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine also believes that eating 20 capsules a day can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness while maintaining the kidneys.
Second, tangerine peel
Tangerine peel is a kind of medicine and food homology of the same source of qi management master, since ancient times, many old Chinese medicine prescriptions for qi and spleen have the figure of tangerine peel. There is also a saying among the folk that "100-year-old tangerine peel, 100-year-old ginseng".
Li Shizhen, a famous ancient Chinese medicine practitioner, also mentioned the efficacy of tangerine peel in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", if you can often ingest some tangerine peel after summer, it will have unexpected benefits for the spleen and stomach.
Tangerine peel is not dried with fresh orange peel, in fact, the older the tangerine peel is, the more fragrant, in ancient times there is a saying that "one or two tangerine peels and one or two gold, a hundred years of tangerine peel is better than gold".
According to modern medical research, tangerine peel contains a lot of volatile oils, as well as flavonoids, antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamins, hesperidin, calcium, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients, and the intake of these nutrients is beneficial to human health.
Three, oats
From a nutritional point of view, oats are rich in nutrients, such as high-quality protein, vitamins, and rich β-glucan. β-glucan is a soluble dietary fiber, which can moisten the intestines and laxatives after entering the body, which is conducive to the health of the spleen and stomach.
Nowadays, there are many oat products on the market, so how to choose the best oats? In fact, oat bran, with its unique taste, is a high-profile food in the cereal industry. In particular, oat bran has a lot of dietary fiber, a nutrient that can help slow down the digestion of food in the stomach, not only to control blood sugar after meals, but also to help spleen and stomach health.
Oat bran can be eaten in many ways, it can be used as a staple for breakfast or dinner, with milk or yogurt, and a bowl of oat bran with vegetables for dinner, and a small amount of meat to cook together, you can make a delicious dish.
Fourth, millet
The golden millet, although the particles are small, but its nutrition is relatively high, it can make up for deficiency, open the stomach, and also benefit the dantian. In our northern region, many people often cook porridge with millet and eat it.
Millet porridge is easy to digest and easy to digest, but also conducive to absorption, after the summer, often drink a bowl of millet porridge, strengthen the spleen and stomach and replenish qi and blood, there are many benefits.
However, there are always people around me who say that the millet porridge they boil is a clear soup with little water, no rice oil, and no fragrance to eat. This is mainly due to the fact that the porridge is not cooked in the right way.
Wash the millet 3 times, add enough water to the casserole to boil, then put the washed millet into boiling water, turn down the heat and boil slowly, turn off the heat after cooking for about 20 minutes, and cool naturally for 10 minutes, at this time the surface of the millet porridge will condense rice oil. The millet porridge boiled in this way is warm and delicious, and the stomach becomes comfortable.
