It's winter, and it's a tonic season. Many people like to eat medicated diet. Are these dietary supplements really suitable for everyone? How should I eat to make up for it effectively and healthily?
Ginger duck, mutton stove, sesame chicken and roast chicken are China people's favorite dietary supplements. Although delicious and nutritious, if you don't eat well, after a winter, you will not only have a big waist, but also be thirsty, constipated and have a rash, which is counterproductive.
People with yang deficiency constitution are warm and tonic, so it is not easy to get sick in the coming year.
Li Siyi, a Chinese doctor, pointed out that the concept of "winter tonic" has existed in China since ancient times. As early as Huangdi Neijing, the concept of "one yang is born in the solstice" was put forward. The so-called "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter", eating tonic food in cold winter is less likely to get sick next year. In ancient times, in addition to eating some warm medicine cans, there was also the habit of eating Laba porridge in winter, which also had the effect of warming up.
Huang Shuhui, a nutritionist at Taipei Post Hospital, pointed out that it is cold in winter, and eating high-calorie ingredients will keep you warm. Ginger duck, mutton stove, sesame-oil chicken and roasted chicken are rich in meat and sesame oil, which are high in calories, fat and protein. Supplementing some Chinese herbal medicines that tonify qi and blood can warm your body and increase blood circulation.
Li Siyi mentioned that tonic is good for health, but everyone's physical differences may not be suitable for everyone. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "yang deficiency constitution" means that people who are prone to cold hands and feet and are afraid of cold are suitable for eating warm tonic pots; People who are prone to dry mouth and are afraid of sweating due to heat are not suitable. People with this constitution will break their mouths as soon as they make up, which is suitable for flat or cold tonic. It is suggested that you can eat it 2 ~ 3 times a month if your physique is suitable; People who get angry easily eat at most 1 time a month.
Huang Shuhui thinks that the average temperature in winter in Taiwan Province Province is about 20℃, which is not cold to freezing point. If winter tonic is needed, it is recommended to report a cold current and eat it below 10℃. Moreover, what modern people are afraid of is overnutrition. Unlike the ancients, it was not easy to get meat. As long as the diet is balanced, overeating in winter may increase the burden on the body.
Get angry and make up the pot:
Mutton stove, roast chicken, ginger duck, sesame oil chicken
Ginger duck, mutton stove, sesame-oil chicken and roast chicken can be said to be the favorite hot pot supplements of Taiwan Province people. Shopkeepers can find the fragrance in all the streets. Why are these four tonic pots so popular? Li Si Jardine Huang Shuhui thinks, "Because it's delicious and the raw materials are easy to get! Li Siyi takes himself as an example. She likes spicy chicken best, followed by mutton stove, ginger duck and roast chicken.
Huang Shuhui said that these four tonics are delicious, but if you are not sure about your physique and whether you are suitable for tonic, you can choose to eat sesame chicken. The ingredients of sesame chicken are ginger, rice wine, sesame oil and chicken, and Chinese herbal medicines without warm tonic are less likely to get angry. According to the "degree of getting angry", sesame chicken, ginger duck, shochu chicken, mutton stove and mutton stove are the most complementary and easy to get angry. Roast chicken has the highest alcohol content and is not suitable for patients with cardiovascular disease and gout.
Nutritional value of four kinds of food supplements
● Ginger duck
The main ingredients are ginger and duck, plus sesame oil and rice wine. Chinese herbal medicines include Radix Codonopsis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Ramulus Cinnamomi and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata. It has the effect of nourishing blood and promoting qi circulation. Li Siyi said that duck meat is sweet and cool, and has the effects of treating fatigue, improving lung and qi system, promoting diuresis, removing edema and relaxing bowels. Although its taste is cool, adding ginger and Chinese herbal medicine can neutralize the coolness, and eating it in winter can improve the coldness of limbs.
● Mutton stove
Radix Astragali, Fructus Jujubae, Fructus Tsaoko, Cortex Cinnamomi Japonici, Fructus Tsaoko, Fructus Zanthoxyli, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Flos Caryophylli, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Fructus Lycii and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata are used as nourishing materials. Blanch mutton, stir-fry with sesame oil, ginger, star anise, fennel and other spicy spices, and then cook with low heat. Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Mutton warms the middle warmer to tonify deficiency, tonifies the middle warmer to replenish qi, stimulates appetite, nourishes kidney and qi, benefits gallbladder, improves eyesight, cures fatigue and cold, and causes five strains and seven injuries. Eating mutton stoves in winter has a good effect of keeping out the cold and is less likely to catch a cold.
● Sesame chicken
The main ingredients are chicken, sesame oil, rice wine and ginger. And most of them don't add Chinese herbal medicine. Chicken is sweet. You can warm yourself with sesame oil, ginger and rice wine. It is not only a supplement in winter, but also suitable for people with cold hands and feet or pregnant women to supplement nutrition.
● Jiu Shao Chicken
The materials are similar to that of ginger duck, including chicken, sesame oil and rice wine. The Chinese herbal medicines for warming up are angelica, medlar, Ligusticum chuanxiong, codonopsis pilosula (or ginseng beard), licorice, jujube and cassia twig. The general practice is to soak the medicinal materials in rice wine before cooking, and the alcohol content of rice wine is high.
Don't take supplements every day, lest you get fat when you get angry.
Four kinds of medicated diet pots, such as Jiangmu duck, are all warm and tonic products, which are suitable for people with yang deficiency, such as malnutrition, deficiency of qi and blood, cold hands and feet, pale blood and anemia. These diets include high-quality protein and good oil (sesame oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids), which is good for health.
Some people eat spicy fried chicken today, mutton stove tomorrow and ginger duck the day after tomorrow, thinking that "it doesn't matter if you eat pots with different tastes every day". Li Siyi reminded that these pots are warm and have different tastes, but their effects are similar. If they eat too much, they get angry easily. Once they get angry, they will have acne, constipation, dry mouth, poor sleep, headache, high blood pressure and other symptoms. Moreover, these pots are high in calories, and it is easy to be obese if you eat too much. If you are angry, Huang Shuhui suggests eating some white radish soup or winter melon soup to calm your anger.
Adults take tonics, but can children take them? Li Siyi suggested that children should take supplements only after they are at least 2 years old, because the spleen and stomach function is weak before the age of 2, and the warming ingredients are not easy to digest. And children are "less angry" and their body temperature is higher than that of adults. Even if they take supplements for a long time, there is no problem, otherwise they will easily get angry and have nosebleeds. Of the four kinds of pots, children are more suitable to use mutton stoves because of the least alcohol content. Huang Shuhui also said that it is recommended to boil the alcohol until it completely volatilizes.
Who is "not" suitable for tonic?
Warming ingredients are only suitable for people who are weak. Li Siyi reminded that when the body is inflamed or infected, it should not be supplemented, so as not to aggravate the inflammation.
Patients with cold, fever, sore throat and hot cough (yellow phlegm): it will aggravate the cold.
Patients with skin allergy and urticaria: skin inflammation is not suitable for warmth, and it will be more red, swollen, itchy and painful.
Pregnant women and people with unhealed postpartum wounds: During postpartum confinement, you should wait until lochia is discharged and the caesarean section wound heals before taking supplements.
Patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes should not take supplements, and the calories are too high.
Gout patient: There is rice wine in the medicated diet pot, and the meat is high. Gout is easy to attack if you eat soup in a pot. If you really want to eat, just eat some ingredients instead of soup.
Postoperative patients: Before the wound is healed, it is not advisable to eat warm ingredients, otherwise the wound will be red and swollen.
People with dry and hot constitution (yin deficiency and internal heat): Dry and hot constitution means being afraid of heat, with red palms and good qi and blood circulation. Taking tonic is like "adding fuel to the fire", the more it burns, the more it burns.
Patients with autoimmune diseases: patients with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus are already in an inflammatory state and are not suitable for taking supplements.
People with yin deficiency constitution can make up flat or cool.
If people or patients with heat and yin deficiency want to take tonic in winter, Huang Shuhui suggested taking flat tonic or cold tonic to improve gastrointestinal function, balance nutrition and keep fit.
Coix seed, yam, lotus seeds, lilies and other ingredients are all good. Therefore, you can drink more "Shen Si soup". There are also lotus seeds, poria cocos, yam, Euryale ferox and other ingredients, all of which are cereals, which are beneficial to gastrointestinal health, spleen and appetite, and are not afraid of getting angry. Or stew "Sweet Soup of Tremella, Red Dates and Lycium barbarum" and "Sweet Soup of Lily and Lotus Seeds", and drink it while it is hot, not hot and dry, and it can also achieve the effect of warming up. It is a safe winter tonic method.
Change the ingredients and cooking methods to make the supplement healthier.
People often ask, "Can a ginger duck be replaced with a ginger hen?" "Mutton stove can be changed to beef stove? Li Siyi said, of course, but we should pay attention to the medicinal properties of each kind of meat. From cold to warm, the order is duck, chicken, beef and mutton, which can be adjusted according to our own physique and the nature and quantity of added medicinal materials. For example, if you want to eat more supplements, "ginger hen" is hotter than "ginger duck"; If you are worried that the mutton is too hot, it will be warmer to switch to the "beef oven".
When taking these supplements, Huang Shuhui suggested adding more vegetables or mushrooms to reduce calories. Take sesame chicken as an example. A bowl of ingredients (including 1 chicken leg, 1 noodles, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 15c.c rice wine) has a calorie as high as 1 1,000 calories. Eat less meat and more vegetables, reducing calories by 65438+.
Huang Shuhui also said that you might as well change your cooking methods. Stir-fry the meat with a little sesame oil first, and then drop a little sesame oil into the pot. Don't fry a lot of sesame oil at first, so you can save oil and sesame oil won't go bad at high temperature. In addition, rice wine can also be replaced by water instead of whole wine. Although alcohol will volatilize when cooked, it will leave sugar, and the heat is still very high. Vegetarians can use Pleurotus eryngii, Hericium erinaceus, tender bean skin or bean curd instead of meat, and still eat tonic.
Duck meat is poisonous, really?
People think that "poisonous" ingredients are not only duck meat, but also shrimp, crab and mango. In fact, these foods are not really toxic, but only promote blood circulation and make the wound inflammation more intense. Some of them are allergens. Patients with wounds or itchy skin should avoid eating, and the average person has no effect.
