As the temperature gradually drops, it is the most suitable season of the year for "replenishment".
Many people believe that eating more high-quality food in winter will make their bodies stronger. However, they are often confused about how to supplement and what to supplement.
Blind supplementation is not only ineffective, but sometimes it may be counterproductive.
Recently, there was a popular science lecture hosted by Beijing Tongrentang Science and Technology Development Group. This lecture centered on the theme of winter health care and brought us a lot of practical knowledge about winter supplementation with traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition, he also cooked donkey hide gelatin cake on site, which made the traditional Chinese medicine culture lively and interesting.
Why winter is the golden time for supplementation
The classic book of traditional Chinese medicine, called "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", puts forward the general principles of health care, whether to "nourish yang in spring and summer" or "nourish yin in autumn and winter."

The human body also follows this rule. Yang Qi converges from the outside to the inside, and the metabolic rate slows down accordingly. However, at this time, the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach are relatively strong.
This shows that nutrients entering the body are more easily accepted and retained by the body, but are difficult to be consumed or leaked out.
Therefore, winter has become a time to replenish the body's consumption throughout the year and is an excellent opportunity to build a solid foundation for health in the coming year.
During the lecture, experts emphasized that when it comes to tonic, it is necessary to follow the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and to choose the appropriate method and ingredients according to the individual's physical condition. Never blindly follow other people's practices.
