People often say that when dealing with illness, "three parts treatment and seven parts care" is key. In fact, when it comes to your own health, "care" is also very important. For the relatively delicate throat, how should one "care" for it properly? And what are some good methods to maintain throat health during the cold winter?
Rock Sugar Stewed Pear with Chuanbei
A syrupy remedy to moisten the lungs and relieve coughs.
Rock sugar is refined from sugarcane and has a high purity. Traditional Chinese medicine considers it to have a sweet and neutral nature, entering the lung and spleen meridians, with the effects of moistening the lungs and stopping coughs. However, it's important to pay attention to the method of consumption and the quantity. Diabetics are definitely not suitable for consuming it, and it is also not advisable for obese individuals. Other people can choose to make rock sugar pear, rock sugar bird's nest, or rock sugar tremella, using rock sugar as an auxiliary ingredient to create desserts that are beneficial to throat health.
Two Fruits for a Clever Throat Care
Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that bitterness can clear heat. In winter, choosing to eat pomelos or drink pomelo tea can help clear internal heat. Additionally, you can choose to eat kiwis. Kiwis are highly nutritious and not very sweet, with a low sugar content, but they are rich in vitamin C, which can boost the body's immune system. At the same time, they can also relieve stress, making them very suitable for daily consumption by people with throat discomfort.
Three Ingredients that Benefit the Lungs
The green celery, white lily, and pale yellow ginkgo nuts come together to form a dish that cares for the throat: Celery, Lily, and Ginkgo Nuts. It should be noted that although the dish is good, ginkgo nuts are slightly toxic and must be soaked, shelled, peeled, and thoroughly cooked, and the quantity must be small. The dish only needs a light touch of seasoning to become very appealing in color, and it has the effect of clearing the mind, calming the spirit, and benefiting the lungs. It is especially suitable for throat care during dry and hot seasons.
