Drinking peppermint tea is one of the most recommended ways to refresh the mind. Peppermint has a pungent and cool nature and is known for its effects of dispelling wind, expelling filth, and detoxifying. Peppermint tea can calm nervous tension, refresh and relieve depression, relieve coughs, alleviate colds and headaches, stimulate appetite and aid digestion, eliminate bloating or indigestion, and soothe a sore throat. It helps with appetite and digestion, relieves stomach and headaches, promotes metabolism, eliminates bad breath, and helps sober up. It can enhance physical strength, has a calming effect, aids digestion, and is suitable for mixing with various herbal teas. It can prevent bad breath, strengthen the stomach and aid digestion, expel pathogenic wind, and treat headaches. However, it should be noted that peppermint can reduce milk production in lactating women and can be irritating, so it is not suitable for women who are breastfeeding or pregnant, or for children.

5. Salmon
Like other fish, salmon is also very rich in protein, even higher than other fish. Therefore, eating more salmon can maintain the balance of potassium and sodium and reduce edema. Because it is rich in high-quality protein, it can also improve immunity. The abundance of protein helps protect the elasticity of blood vessels, thus helping to lower blood pressure. Hemoglobin is also a type of protein, so it can buffer anemia and is beneficial for growth and development. The Ω-3 fatty acids it contains are essential for the brain, retina, and nervous system, enhancing brain function, preventing senile dementia, and preventing vision loss. Fish meat is rich in protein and amino acids, which has the great effect of refreshing and strengthening the brain. The skin of deep-sea fish like salmon and cod contains amino acids and tryptophan, which can soothe the nerves, thereby alleviating depressive moods.
