What's the best food in the winter? It's a good choice. The mountains are known as the mountains of red, red fruit and blubber, which are of high nutritional and medical value. The mountains are considered to be “long-lived food” because older people tend to eat mountain products that enhance their appetite, improve their sleep, maintain the persistence of calcium in their bones and blood, and prevent the hardening of the aneurystic porridge, thereby extending the life expectancy. Our ancient healers have long valued the soft accumulation of mountains. When the old chicken is cooked with hard meat, the addition of a few mountains is perishable, indicating that it has the effect of digesting meat. The central components of the pharmacies, such as Zoran Xianxian, Pao and Yaomaru, are the mountains, which also have the effect of distilling, stopping the bleeding and exorcising. The old Beijing mountain cakes are characterized by the addition of a little sea belt to the mountains, sweet and soft, not only by their unique taste, but also by the fact that they are iodine-rich foods, which are good health products for the prevention of iodine deficiency and physical and mental health。

Chestnuts are known as the King of Retrieving Kidneys, which can provide a healthy stomach and a strong kidney. Modern medicine considers that chestnuts contain unsaturated fatty acids and multiple vitamins that have better preventive and curative effects on diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and arterial sclerosis. However, the elderly and middle-aged need to be aware that chestnuts are a diet of low proteins, low fats and high sugar, and that 10 grams of chestnuts are equivalent to 10 grams of staple food, so they must be careful to reduce the quantity of staple foods, especially those with high blood sugar. Diabetes eat nuts and adhere to the principle of “less good, more harmful”. It is recommended that about 15 grams of nuts per day be consumed。
