According to the introduction, according to the traditional Chinese medicine theory, the winter solstice health care and nourishing can start from four aspects: invigorating qi, enriching blood, nourishing yin and nourishing yang.
Nourish from four aspects.
Qi-invigorating food refers to foods that have the effects of invigorating qi and strengthening spleen and tonifying qi deficiency syndrome, such as rice, glutinous rice, peanuts, yam, carrots, soybean milk, chicken and so on.
Blood-enriching food refers to foods that have tonic effects on patients with blood deficiency syndrome, such as animal liver, longan pulp, black fungus, spinach, carrots, pork, sea cucumber, fish and so on.
Yin-nourishing food refers to foods that have the effects of nourishing yin fluid, promoting fluid production and moistening dryness, and are beneficial to yin deficiency syndrome, such as tremella, fungus, pear, milk, eggs, grapes, cabbage, etc.
Yang-tonifying foods, such as dog meat, mutton, shrimp, etc., also have yang-tonifying effects, such as walnut kernel, leek, medlar and eel.
"In addition, some nuts, such as walnuts and chestnuts, contain a lot of minerals, fiber and other nutrients, and are also suitable for winter consumption." However, Director Li reminded everyone that although winter tonic is good, it should not be blind. It is best for the public to ask a doctor to help them determine what kind of deficit they belong to and whether they need supplements; In addition, it is necessary to understand some taboos during tonic. Take chicken soup as an example. Although it has high nutritional value, it is not suitable for everyone.
The six traditional foods of winter solstice are introduced in detail.
tangyuan
Eating dumplings on the winter solstice is more popular in Jiangnan. The materials commonly used to make glutinous rice balls, such as glutinous rice, sesame seeds and red beans, are also warm and have a good spleen-strengthening effect.

It is most suitable for eating in winter.
Chinese dumpling
Eating jiaozi on the winter solstice doesn't freeze your ears. This statement comes from Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage. He saw that people's ears were damaged by freezing in the cold, so he used bread to dispel the cold and cooked it into "Jiao Er Tang" to cure people's ears. Today, eating jiaozi on the winter solstice is no longer to cure frozen ears, but the reasonable combination of noodles, vegetables and meat makes jiaozi a delicious food with comprehensive nutrition and easy digestion and absorption. Jiaozi can be stuffed with mutton, Chinese cabbage, green onions, leeks, radishes, etc. These dishes are warm and have a certain warming effect on the human body.
eight treasure congee
Hot eight-treasure porridge is very suitable for warm and soft diet in winter. Chinese medicine believes that eating porridge can strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, and has a certain effect of nourishing yin, just against the characteristics of dryness in winter. In order to play a role in keeping out the cold, we can choose warm or mild foods that can strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as coix seed, jujube, walnut, peanut, chicken, mutton, glutinous rice, longan, yam and tremella.

There is a saying in old Beijing that "winter solstice wonton and summer solstice noodles". "Yanjing Years Old" says: "The shape of husband's wonton is like a chicken egg, which is quite like the chaos of heaven and earth, so it is eaten on the winter solstice." In addition to similar shapes, "wonton" is also homophonic with "chaos". Eating wonton in winter is beneficial to the storage of heat energy in cold season.
