Everyone wants to stay young forever and pays special attention to health preservation. Perhaps you don't know that there are three foods whose effects are remarkable if you can stick to eating them. Experts point out that eating three walnuts, four longans, and five red jujubes daily is highly beneficial to the body.
Three walnuts for brain health and lung nourishment
"Walnuts have high medicinal value." Children eat walnuts to nourish the brain; young and middle-aged people and office workers with high stress can eat some walnuts to relieve brain fatigue and reduce stress; the elderly can eat walnuts to fight aging.
Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and have the effect of preventing and treating atherosclerosis. In addition, walnuts also contain essential trace elements for the human body such as zinc, manganese, and chromium. Chromium can promote cholesterol metabolism and protect the cardiovascular system, so people with high blood lipids and obesity can eat some.
Four longans to stimulate appetite and calm the mind
Longans are also called longan eyes and are a precious nourishing tonic. Longans are warm in nature and sweet in taste, benefiting the heart and spleen, with the effects of stimulating appetite, nourishing blood and strengthening the spleen, and calming the mind. In traditional Chinese medicine, it can be used to treat insomnia, forgetfulness, palpitations, dizziness, and other symptoms caused by deficiency of the heart and spleen and insufficient qi and blood. In spring, people are prone to drowsiness, and eating a few longans can help alleviate this.
Five red jujubes to replenish qi and nourish blood
Jujubes rank first among the five major fruits, and their rich nutritional value has always been highly regarded. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, jujubes can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, nourish blood and calm the mind. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi is function and blood is substance, and jujubes can supplement both qi and blood, which is rare in Chinese medicine, so the medicinal value of jujubes is very high. Fresh jujubes are particularly high in vitamin C, 8-17 times that of citrus and more than 50 times that of apples, so red jujubes are called "natural vitamin pills" by the nutrition community. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses dried red jujubes for medicinal purposes. Although the vitamin C content in dried jujubes is slightly lower than in fresh jujubes, they contain many other nutrients, especially a higher iron content, which is very beneficial for women to supplement iron and blood.
Eat enough of the 3-4-5 daily to maintain health and make it easy to stick to. Some people eat this way all year round and have persisted for 20 years. Now they look much younger than their peers. Everyone might as well start trying it today.
