My Date with Spring - Spring Drowsiness Food Recommendations Part 1
My Date with Spring - Spring Drowsiness Food Recommendations Part 2
After reading the first part about spring drowsiness, I believe everyone has a general understanding of it. To be honest, dietary therapy is just one aspect. When I often tell people what exercises they should do or how they should do things, very few can actually follow through. Most of them just停留在 the state of knowing what to do. Therefore, I think it would be more effective to start with things that are within reach in our daily lives.
The health preservation of spring drowsiness through diet should focus on the principle of gentle supplementation. It is not advisable to solely use warm and tonic foods, as the rising spring temperatures can exacerbate internal heat in the body. Internal heat consumes yin, and qi and blood are depleted, which in turn can lead to drowsiness. Nowadays, with better living conditions, everyone has the opportunity to prepare some foods that are more suitable for themselves. Let's take a look at the delicacies that Romantic has recommended for everyone today.
Food Recommendation Section 1: Fish
Fish: Autumn and winter are good times for the weak to replenish their bodies, and fish is an excellent aquatic food for this purpose. It is not only delicious but also extremely nutritious. Its protein content is twice that of pork, and it belongs to high-quality protein with a high absorption rate by the human body.
Food 1: Vegetable Fragrant Cod and Egg Cake>>>
Reason for Recommendation: Cod is rich in protein, vitamins A and D, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and other nutrients. It is nutritious, has a delicious and sweet taste, and is rich in magnesium, which has a good protective effect on the cardiovascular system and helps prevent cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and myocardial infarction. Eggs are a high-protein ingredient. Adding carrots and onions, which we have introduced in previous issues, I won't elaborate on their effects this time. It is very suitable for the elderly and children, not only with a delicate texture that is easy to digest but also extremely nutritious. Highly recommended.
Food 2: Lily and Fish Fillets>>>
Reason for Recommendation: This is a very common home-cooked dish that we can all enjoy at home. Grass carp is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial for blood circulation and is a good food for people with heart disease. It is rich in selenium, and regular consumption has anti-aging and beauty-enhancing effects. It also has a certain preventive effect on tumors. For people with poor appetite in spring, the tender and non-greasy meat of grass carp can whet the appetite and nourish the body. Lily is high in vitamins and has the effect of calming the nerves and beautifying the skin. Beauty-conscious girls should not miss it in spring.
Food 3: Tuna Sandwich>>>
Reason for Recommendation: Tuna meat is low in fat, low in calories, and contains high-quality protein and other nutrients. Eating tuna can not only help maintain a slim figure but also balance the nutrients needed by the body, making it an ideal choice for modern women to lose weight easily. The EPA, protein, and taurine it contains are excellent for lowering cholesterol. As a small Western-style dish for the family, you can add your own favorite ingredients. Hope you will like it.
Tip: In the countryside where I come from, there is an old saying: if you want to study well and be smart, you should eat more fish, which shows that fish has the effect of nourishing the brain. In spring, the oxygen supply to the brain is not sufficient, so we can supplement it appropriately. Eating more foods with high protein content is also very effective in preventing and treating spring drowsiness.
Food Recommendation Section 2: Strawberries, Kiwis
Strawberries: Strawberries are rich in amino acids, fructose, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, malic acid, pectin, carotene, vitamins B1, B2, niacin, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. These nutrients are very good for promoting growth and development and are especially beneficial for the elderly and children.
Kiwifruit: The fruit of the kiwi is fleshy, juicy, fragrant, fresh, sweet and sour, and has good storage properties.
Food 1: Strawberry Jam>>>
Reason for Recommendation: It is the perfect season for eating strawberries now, and there are many of them in the market. I checked today and they are about 10 yuan per jin. Strawberries have a characteristic: they are very high in vitamin C, so you can eat more to enhance your immunity. However, they are not easy to preserve sometimes, so we can make them into jam. It is appetizing and tastes great, so you can give it a try.
Food 2: Milk and Strawberry Sago Pudding>>>
Reason for Recommendation: Sago is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the lungs, and resolving phlegm. As a small dessert, it is not very suitable for people with high blood pressure or diabetes. For beautiful girls, you must not miss this. Because most girls like foods that look gorgeous, of course, the taste of this dessert is also very lovable. Hurry up and try it.
Food 3: Kiwi and Goji Berry Sweet Porridge>>>
Reason for Recommendation: Kiwi is actually what we commonly call kiwi fruit. I remember when I was a child, my dad asked me about the characters for "kiwi" when he was testing me on new words, and I was scolded a lot for it. The vitamin C and dietary fiber content of kiwi fruit reaches an excellent standard, and the vitamin E and K content in kiwi fruit are also rated as excellent. Kiwi fruit is low in fat and has no cholesterol. Paired with shrimp to make a salad, I believe most people will fall in love with this delicacy.
Tip: Both of these ingredients are rich in vitamin C. In spring, many of us may have allergies, so supplementing more vitamin C to enhance immunity is very good for the body. Also, some girls like to lose weight and can choose to add them to their diet. I believe the effect will definitely be very good.
Food Recommendation Section 3: Seaweed
Seaweed: It is nutritious and very high in iodine. At the same time, it can be used as medicine and made into Chinese medicine, with the effects of resolving phlegm and softening hard masses, clearing heat and promoting urination, and nourishing the kidneys and calming the mind.
Food 1: Seaweed Rice Rolls (Gimbap)>>>
Reason for Recommendation: Seaweed rice rolls are the most common in our lives. The term "gimbap" is from Korea. The rice is mixed with sesame oil and salt, making it savory. It is usually rolled with Korean kimchi and tempura. The rice for sushi is mixed with sugar and vinegar, making it sweet and sour, and is called sushi rice. Another reason for recommending seaweed is that it is extremely high in magnesium, and eating more can relieve muscle fatigue.
Food 2: Baked Seaweed Crisps>>>
Reason for Recommendation: Some people experience cramps at night when they sleep. Many people think this is due to calcium deficiency, but in terms of the body's demand for minerals and trace elements, magnesium deficiency can also cause this. Eating more foods rich in magnesium can also have a certain preventive effect on coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, myocardial infarction, and diabetes.
Food 3: Seaweed Pancake Meets Millet>>>
Reason for Recommendation: This is a combination for breakfast. As the ancients said: "Eat a large bowl of congee every day, the stomach is empty in the morning, and the energy from grains is produced. Congee is very soft and smooth, and it is well-received by the stomach and intestines, making it the best food." The most common thing we know about seaweed is that it is rich in iodine, which has a good preventive effect on so-called goiter (thyroid enlargement). As part of the healthy breakfast series, I am quite satisfied with this delicacy that I recommend.
Tip: In our daily lives, the most common way to eat seaweed is seaweed and egg drop soup, or boiling seaweed with wontons. Both are very good choices. If you like this taste, you can add some seaweed appropriately when making soups. I personally also like to add some coriander and a little sesame oil. You can slowly savor that flavor.
