Chinese medicine believes that "spring birth, summer, long autumn harvest, winter", winter is the most suitable season for supplementation, through supplementation, can nourish yin and aphrodisiac, tonic qi and blood, enhance the body's resistance, the next year is not easy to get sick.
Wang Xiaoyin, chief chinese medicine physician in the Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong Province, said that some people like to eat dog meat, mutton and drink chicken soup in winter to supplement. But dog meat and lamb are too warm and dry for everyone to accept. Chinese medicine believes that chicken is sweet in taste, slightly warm, can warm the spleen, nourish the qi and nourish the blood, and replenish the kidneys and sperm. In addition, chicken is rich in protein, fat, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, especially for the elderly is very beneficial. Therefore, in the coldest season of the year, "counting nine cold days" is the most appropriate to supplement chicken soup, and the folk also have the custom of "one nine chicken".
Wang Xiaoyin reminded that when cooking chicken soup, the elderly should first choose a domestic chicken; secondly, it is necessary to stew slowly over low heat or a pressure cooker, and the time should not be too long, so as not to be too high; third, it is necessary to scoop off the excessive grease on the upper layer of chicken soup; fourth, stew chicken soup should add an appropriate amount of Chinese medicinal materials, and it is necessary to achieve dialectical treatment.
Drinking chicken soup varies from person to person
For different groups of people, choose a suitable medicinal diet to stew chicken soup, in order to play a role in nourishing the body.
Wang Xiaoyin said that the elderly with insufficient qi and blood are generally manifested as yellowish complexion, pale lips, tongue and nails, shortness of breath and sweating, tiredness and fatigue, and weak pulses, at this time, angelica, party ginseng, astragalus, red dates and other medicinal materials should be used to match chicken soup. Elderly people with two deficiencies in the heart and spleen are generally manifested as insomnia and dreams, and at this time, they should use herbs such as Huaishan, Poria, White Peony, Lily, and Sour Jujube Kernel to match the heart and spleen with chicken soup. Elderly people with kidney deficiency are generally manifested as cold limbs, at this time, eucommia, goji berries, deer antler velvet, cinnamon, He Shou Wu and other medicinal materials should be used to match chicken soup.
Although there is no special group of people who can not drink chicken soup at all, Wang Xiaoyin reminds that patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cholecystitis should drink less chicken soup. When drinking chicken soup, you should eat it with meat with soup, and when cooking chicken soup, you should not put in the chicken head and chicken hip tip. Chicken soup should not be eaten with rabbit meat and carp, because chicken is sweet and warm, carp is flat, chicken is supplemented to help the yang, carp is good for water, and the sexual taste is not reversed but the function is multiplied. At the same time, chicken and garlic, mustard should not be eaten together, because garlic is spicy and poisonous, the main gas to eliminate the valley, remove the wind, kill poison, and chicken sweet acid warm supplement, the two functions complement each other. And mustard is a hot thing, chicken is a warm tonic product, afraid of fire, not good for health.
