Does it have to be an expensive tonic to supplement in cold weather? That's not true. You know, every food has its own characteristics, just like white food such as tremella, radish, tofu and other common ingredients, there are many characteristics that we don't know. As long as we master the characteristics of food and prescribe the right medicine, the most common food is actually the best tonic.

1, radish

White radish is a seasonal vegetable in winter and a good ingredient for health preservation. There is a folk saying that "eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe a prescription". Radish is particularly rich in vitamins A and C. Raw radish has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, cooling blood, stopping bleeding and getting angry. Cooked food can benefit the spleen and stomach, and help digestion.

2. Cabbage

"A hundred vegetables are not as good as Chinese cabbage". Chinese cabbage is slightly cold and sweet, and has the functions of detoxifying, removing heat and dredging the stomach. Anyone who is upset and thirsty, has poor stool and has scanty urine can always eat cabbage. Chinese cabbage contains more crude fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C, etc.

3. Tofu

Tofu is rich in nutritional value and cheap. Tofu is known as vegetable meat because it contains many mineral elements necessary for human body, such as iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as sugar, vegetable oil and rich high-quality protein. Two small pieces of tofu can meet the daily calcium demand of human body, especially suitable for children and the elderly.

4. Lotus root

Lotus root is the king of oriental vegetables. After it is cooked, its nature changes from cool to warm. Although it loses its heat-clearing function, it is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, and has the effects of nourishing stomach, nourishing yin, nourishing blood and stopping diarrhea. In particular, putting lotus root and ribs together to stew soup can also enrich the blood and strengthen the spleen.

5. Mutton

According to "Compendium of Materia Medica", mutton has the functions of invigorating middle qi and kidney qi, and it is also an important food for folk tonic in winter. According to the point of view of modern Chinese medicine, eating more mutton at the right time can increase digestive enzymes in the body, protect the stomach wall and help digestion, and at the same time, it can also play a role in removing dampness, avoiding cold and warming the heart and stomach.
