After the scorching heat, when the cool breeze comes, the busy people can't help but stop and sigh: it's cold, the day is short, and the year will soon pass! "One point is autumn and one point is cold, and the wild is covered with clothes. Eight or nine chrysanthemum yellow crabs are fat, and the wind is cool and fragrant. "

during the autumnal equinox, the weather is dry, which is caused by the summer heat and residual gas before the autumnal equinox, and the temperature drops after the autumnal equinox, and the coldness and coldness gradually aggravate people's coolness and dryness. Therefore, in order to keep the balance of yin and yang in this season, it is important to emphasize nourishing yin and moistening dryness in the diet.

In response to climate change, what to eat is good for our health? Since it is a dry season, we should take moist and warm ingredients as the first choice in diet, and take "nourishing and harvesting" as the principle in diet, daily life and exercise, so the sour taste converges and nourishes the lungs, and the pungent taste diffuses and purges the lungs, so autumn is "suitable for harvesting but not dispersing", and it is this truth to choose more sour and moist fruits and vegetables appropriately. Such as: lotus root, water chestnut, tremella, autumn pear, sugarcane, hawthorn, grape, lily, persimmon, etc., pay attention to drinking warm water, which has the effects of nourishing yin, nourishing lung, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production.

This year's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are celebrated together, which is joyful and auspicious. The following seasonal foods are common on every household's table:

Moon cakes: Moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month and Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival are the most representative traditional folk food. Moon cakes are attractive in color, soft and delicious in taste. In order to facilitate storage, they are characterized by high sugar, high oil and high heat. At present, there are not only traditional flavors of five kernels, egg yolk lotus seed paste, jujube paste and bean paste on the market, but also many new fillings, such as vegetarian stuffing, fruit stuffing, frozen skin and flowing heart, to meet the needs of various people with different tastes. Although some people think that this seasonal special food does not often appear in the range of our daily diet choices, and can't be eaten several times a year, it will not cause too much adverse effects on our health, but there are several points that must be reminded:

People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should try not to eat greasy egg yolk stuffing, crispy fresh meat stuffing and traditional Cantonese-style five-kernel moon cakes. In order to ensure the taste and shelf life of these moon cakes, a lot of fat and sugar are often added to the fillings. In addition, patients with kidney, gallbladder, pancreas and other diseases should be carefully eaten and tasted to avoid inducing and aggravating the disease. Old people and infants have weak digestive ability and should also avoid eating. People with a history of allergies should also pay attention to the variety and variety of ingredients in the feed. If they are not careful, they may eat food that causes allergies and bring unnecessary trouble to themselves. In short, delicious food also has certain risks. When eating in moderation or in small quantities, you must look at the ingredients in the ingredient list.

Crab: "Autumn comes, and crab roe is fat." Delicious crab meat is an indispensable scenery in autumn. Crab meat belongs to high-quality protein, and it is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, zinc, magnesium, iodine and other trace elements and minerals, with rich nutrients. Crab yellow is rich in vitamin A, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, etc., which is higher than that of common fish. There are many fatty acids necessary for human body in the fat components of crab paste. Crabs are delicious, so we should also pay attention to the following points when eating them:

1. Crabs are cold and should not be eaten in large quantities at one time. People with deficiency and cold in the body should not eat more, nor should they eat with cold fruits such as persimmons and pears. When eating crabs, it can be served with ginger vinegar juice.

2. After death, crabs will breed a lot of bacteria, which may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and even poisoning after eating. So dead crabs are not edible. When cooking crabs, you must heat them thoroughly and cook them thoroughly.

3. Patients with gout and hyperuricemia should not eat crabs. Every 111g of crab meat contains 82mg of purine. Patients with gout should avoid eating crabs during acute attack. Patients with chronic gout and patients with hyperuricemia should also eat less.

4. For the "three highs" people, although the crab cholesterol is high, it is not necessarily inedible, because the human body will also synthesize cholesterol, and the cholesterol intake in the diet only accounts for a small part of the total cholesterol of the human body, which will not have much impact on the cholesterol metabolism of the human body. It is not a big problem for such people to eat one or two crabs occasionally.

5. The intestines, stomachs, hearts and gills of crabs are inedible, and these parts are easy to accumulate dirt and bacteria, so special attention should be paid during eating.

Tremella fuciformis, known as the bird's nest of the common people, is the most ideal nourishing top grade in autumn, containing protein, fat, dietary fiber, iron, manganese, sodium, vitamin B, glucose, etc. Tremella fuciformis contains tremella fuciformis polysaccharide, an effective component, which has the functions of softening blood vessels, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-radiation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tremella has the effects of invigorating spleen and appetizing, regulating qi and clearing intestines, strengthening kidney and nourishing brain, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Eating tremella, lily and lotus seed soup in autumn can nourish yin, nourish stomach, replenish lung and promote fluid production, which is the most suitable home-made health food in this season.

But don't cook the tremella soup too much at a time. If there is more tremella soup that day, it can be eaten in a clean container and stored in the refrigerator until the next day, but it is best not to exceed 48 hours. When bacteria grow for too long, the content of nitrite will also rise, which is easy to cause poisoning.

Pear: There is another treasure in autumn, that is, the pear known as the "hundred fruits". The fresh pear can contain as much as 83% of water. It is tender, juicy, sweet and sour, and has the effects of clearing away heart fire, moistening lung and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Pears containing various vitamins and minerals can be eaten raw or stewed, and rich dietary fiber can purify intestines and relieve constipation. However, for people with diarrhea and stomach cold and spleen deficiency, it is recommended not to eat or eat less pears to avoid aggravating physical discomfort.

In addition to the common seasonal foods mentioned above, the daily dietary collocation should be guided and recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2116 Edition): the foods are diverse, mainly cereals; Eat balance, healthy weight; Eat more fruits and vegetables, milk and soybeans; Eat fish, poultry, eggs and lean meat in moderation; Less salt and less oil, controlling sugar and alcohol; Put an end to waste and promote new food. Maintain an appropriate amount of water and physical activity every day.

National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are coming. On this beautiful day, I wish my friends a family reunion, enjoy delicious food and good health!
