Red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup
1. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies red dates as qi replenishing drugs, saying that they are sweet and mild in nature and have the effects of moistening the heart and lungs, relieving cough, replenishing the five internal organs, and treating deficiency. When the gastrointestinal function is poor, the peristalsis is weak and the digestion and absorption function is poor, it is very suitable to eat red dates frequently to improve poor gastrointestinal function and gain physical strength. When people are nervous, troubled, disturbed sleep or general menopausal syndrome, traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions often add red dates. The main reason is that red dates have a calming effect. Therefore, if people are stressful in life, they may wish to add some red dates to the main vegetable soup and eat them. Red dates have a high content of vitamin C.
2. Tremella has the effects of nourishing yin, moistening lungs, nourishing stomach, promoting saliva, replenishing qi, replenishing brain and strengthening heart. It is not only suitable for all women, children and people with physical weakness after illness, but also has a good skin rejuvenation and beauty effect on women.
3. Lotus seeds have the effect of being good for the heart, nourishing the kidney, stopping diarrhea, consolidating essence, and soothing the nerves.
