There is a popular saying among the people: "Take supplements in winter and kill tigers in spring."

This means that as long as we take proper supplements in winter, we will definitely be in "doubly good" health by the spring of next year.

So winter is the most suitable season for nourishing food among the four seasons. What should we eat to nourish our health?

The following foods have very good nourishing effects, and we recommend that you collect them: 01. Yams. Yams have always been known as "fairy delicacies" and are also the first choice for dietary supplements in daily life.

Yams contain polyphenol oxidase, amylase and other substances, which can prevent cardiovascular diseases and prevent the precipitation of blood lipids on blood vessel walls.

In winter, blood flow slows down, so eating more yam-based foods has many benefits and can achieve the effect of prolonging life.

02. Lotus root The weather in winter is relatively dry. Sometimes when you wake up at night, you will find that your mouth is dry and your whole body feels uncomfortable.

It is necessary to consume appropriate lotus root foods (fried lotus root slices, lotus root soup, etc.) during this period.

Eating lotus root can moisten dryness and quench thirst, nourish yin and clear away heat, clear the heart and calm the mind.

At the same time, the cold winter season is the time when lotus roots are in season, and the ingredients are very fresh.

Moreover, lotus root is rich in minerals, protein, various vitamins and dietary fiber, which is very helpful in treating constipation and excretion of harmful substances.

03. Cuttlefish There is a folk saying that goes like this: "Those with four legs are not as good as those with two legs, and those with two legs are not as good as those without legs." The so-called "legless" generally refers to various fish.

In addition to iron, calcium, phosphorus and other substances needed by the human body, cuttlefish meat is also rich in vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin B, etc.) and carbohydrates.

If you eat more cuttlefish in winter, your health will definitely be better next spring.

04. Pear is also known as "natural mineral water" and has the title of "the ancestor of all fruits". It is rich in trace elements such as calcium, iron, iodine, and phosphorus.

The air is dry in winter. Eating pear-based foods (rock sugar and snow pear soup, red date and pear soup, etc.) can moisten the lungs and relieve dryness in winter.

If you insist on taking it for a long time, the effect will be even greater.

(Reminder: Do not eat too much, especially for people with weak constitution or underlying diseases, because pears are cold in nature, and weak people may not be able to bear it.) In addition, lily porridge (lily has the functions of clearing the mind, calming the nerves, and moisturizing the lungs)

Cough relieving effect), dried mulberries (mulberries contain a variety of active substances: amino acids, carotene, vitamins, etc., which can beautify the skin and improve human immunity), red dates (red dates nourish and replenish blood, and contain ingredients that can increase the number of red blood cells in the blood)

, grapefruit (grapefruit can relieve coughs and reduce phlegm, lower qi and benefit the lungs, but it is cold in nature and should not be eaten in excess), etc. It is also more nourishing to eat in winter.

Kidney function will be stronger in winter, so it is recommended that you eat more bitter foods and less salty foods.

Because bitter foods can enhance kidney function and reduce body heat.

Salty food will cause people's kidney qi to become stronger and heart strength to weaken, thus causing problems for their own health.
