Li Huafang is an ordinary accountant, repeating the rhythm of life in and out of work every day, accompanied by numbers and ledgers. However, in her seemingly unchanging life, there is a little-known transformation.
During a medical check-up, she was diagnosed with mild hardening of the arteries, and the news made her start to re-examine her lifestyle.
The doctor's words still linger in my ears today: "You need to change your eating habits and increase your physical activity." Then the doctor mentioned a term she wasn't familiar with before: "buckwheat." ”
"You can try to eat more buckwheat, it's good for preventing hardening of the arteries." The doctor's words seemed to open a new door for Li Huafang. Buckwheat? What kind of miracle food is this?
Could it be that this seemingly inconspicuous buckwheat can really be the key to improving her health?
1. The magic of buckwheat porridge: an amazing physical transformation after insisting on eating
Not long after insisting on eating buckwheat porridge, the first thing Li Huafang noticed was the increase in her energy. Before, every weekday afternoon, she always couldn't resist the sleepiness that hit her, her eyelids were heavy, and her thoughts began to become sluggish.
Since she started drinking buckwheat porridge, she has found herself more energetic. That afternoon tiredness fades away and is replaced by a long-lasting, steady supply of energy. She has found that she is able to stay focused for longer and is much more productive.
In addition to the significant increase in energy, Li Huafang also noticed that her blood pressure and cholesterol levels began to improve. During the previous check-up, her blood pressure was always high and her cholesterol level was not satisfactory.
After drinking buckwheat porridge for a while, when she went for a physical examination again, she was pleasantly surprised to find that both indicators had dropped significantly.
The doctor told her that it was most likely the beneficial components in buckwheat, such as dietary fiber and phytochemicals, at work.
What makes her even happier is that as her physical condition improves, her mood has become happier. The anxiety and worry caused by health issues gradually dissipated and was replaced by a positive attitude towards life and optimistic expectations for the future. She began to cherish her health more and pay more attention to the choices and combinations of her diet.
Today, Li Huafang has become a loyal fan of buckwheat. Not only does she make buckwheat porridge at home, but she also promotes the health benefits of buckwheat among friends and colleagues. For her, buckwheat porridge is not only a food, but also a change in life attitude and a guarantee of health.
2. Buckwheat Cuisine: The perfect combination of health and deliciousness
When it comes to buckwheat, many people may think of buckwheat porridge first, but in fact, buckwheat is a nutritious ingredient that can be used to make a variety of delicious dishes.
Soba noodles are one of the most popular dishes. Compared to regular noodles, soba noodles are more chewy and have a unique wheat aroma.
Pair it with fresh vegetables, meat or seafood for a great staple. Li Huafang especially recommends using chicken broth as a soup base and topping it with chopped green onions and coriander, so that the soba noodles are both nutritious and delicious.
In addition to noodles, buckwheat can also be used to make dumpling wrappers. Buckwheat dumpling wrappers are more chewy than traditional white-flour dumpling wrappers and have higher nutritional value.
Li Huafang will teach the students how to make delicious dumpling fillings, which are combined with homemade buckwheat dumpling wrappers to make the dumplings healthy and delicious.
In addition, buckwheat can also be used to make various snacks such as buckwheat pancakes, buckwheat pastries, etc. Not only do these snacks have a unique taste, but they are also packed with nutrients, making them a good choice for healthy snacks.
In Li Huafang's cooking class, students can not only taste these delicious buckwheat delicacies, but also make them themselves. Through hands-on practice, the participants gained a deeper understanding of how to cook buckwheat and its nutritional value, which also made them pay more attention to healthy eating in their daily lives.
In short, buckwheat is a healthy ingredient that can be used to make not only delicious buckwheat porridge, but also a variety of delicious buckwheat dishes.
By tasting and making these delicacies, one can gain a deeper understanding of the charm of buckwheat and incorporate it into their daily diet, enjoying the perfect combination of health and deliciousness.
