However, many people have doubts about whether it is better to eat roosters or hens. Professor Shen Yanying, vice president of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said: "From the nutritional point of view, roosters and hens are similar." But hens bear the heavy responsibility of raising children, and they store more nutrients than "chicken father". Professor Yang Li from Xiyuan Hospital, Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said that Chinese medicine believes that the therapeutic efficacy of roosters and hens is different and should be selected as needed. The cock is male, which mainly has the functions of strengthening yang and invigorating qi, and the warming and tonifying effect is stronger. It has a good auxiliary effect on frequent micturition, oligospermia and coldness caused by kidney yang deficiency, and is more suitable for young and middle-aged men. However, patients with high blood pressure, stroke, cancer, gout and wind-heat cold are not suitable for eating more because of high internal heat. In addition, roosters are also listed as one of the hair products, and people with allergies and psoriasis had better eat less.
The hen is female, which has the functions of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, invigorating spleen and tonifying deficiency, and is suitable for nourishing people with yin deficiency and qi deficiency. Especially for women with blood deficiency during menstruation or postpartum, it also has the effect of enriching blood. Compared with roosters, female chicken is more suitable for all ages, especially for the elderly with weak constitution. However, you can't nourish yourself too much.
In the way of eating, hens are generally used to stew soup, while cocks are suitable for quick frying. Because hens have more fat, the nutrients in the meat are easily dissolved in the soup, and the stewed chicken soup tastes more delicious. On the contrary, the rooster's meat is tight and it is difficult to make thick soup. People prefer the delicate "young chicken" when eating roosters, so it is more important to stir-fry it quickly to keep it fresh and delicious.
When eating chicken, you should also pay attention to the fact that toxins are easy to accumulate in the head of the chicken, so it is best not to eat it. Some people like the tip of chicken buttock, but it may also be the home of hormones and carcinogens, so it is best not to eat it for safety.
