As soon as autumn enters, many people have an increased appetite and are thinking about "posting autumn fat", so they put big fish, big meat, and spicy hot pot on the table alternately.
As a result, within a few days, I had a dry and itchy throat, peeling lips, and even constipation.
In fact, the key points of the autumn diet lie in the word "moisturizing" and the word "warm". Blindly supplementing will only cause damage to the body.
Today, from the selection of ingredients to specific recipes, we will talk about how to eat healthily in autumn.
Eat less spicy and hot food
The climate is dry in autumn, and the human body itself easily loses water.
For example, spicy and hot foods such as chili peppers, peppers, ginger, and garlic. If you consume too much, it will aggravate the "dryness" in the body. And this "dryness" is exactly what Chinese medicine often refers to as autumn dryness damaging the lungs.
This is why many people suffer from sore throat and cough the next day after eating hot pot.
Therefore, during this season, it is necessary to minimize the consumption of such hot and hot foods even in small amounts. Even fried and fatty foods should be controlled to prevent further aggravation of autumn dryness symptoms.
Eat more fruits and vegetables that nourish the lungs and promote body fluids
Since you want to prevent dryness, you have to eat the right things.
Autumn pear is recognized by everyone as a good fruit in autumn. It has good curative effects in relieving coughs and removing dryness. It can be eaten raw or stewed into rock sugar and snow pear water.
Moreover, you can usually buy more white radish, lotus root, and water chestnuts. These foods can moisturize the lungs to produce body fluids, and can also nourish yin qi and clear away dryness and heat.
Green leafy vegetables, winter melon, zucchini, and eggplant are also worth eating regularly.
It needs to be reminded that the vitamin C contained in cauliflower is three to four times higher than that of Chinese cabbage and soybean sprouts. Traditional Chinese medicine has the view that "white enters the lungs". White cauliflower is exactly the right health vegetable for today and can prevent colds.
Warm food is the protagonist of autumn
In terms of catering, there is the idea that "autumn should be warm", which means that in autumn, you should avoid eating only those cool and cold foods, and eat less watermelon and bitter melon.
Eating some foods with warm properties, such as chestnuts, is very suitable for patients with high blood pressure and can prevent and treat coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. However, you should eat up to 10 foods a day, otherwise it will easily cause constipation.
In addition, for example, leeks have the effect of inducing digestion and promoting appetite, and coriander has the effect of warming the stomach and strengthening the stomach. Adding a little when cooking can not only season but also maintain health.
Three recommended autumn recipes for children
When cooking for children, you need to pay more attention to nutritional balance.
The first course is the braised beef paste. Make the beef into a puree, add the egg whites, seasonings and a small amount of water and stir evenly. Place it on a plate to steam, let it cool and cut into pieces, and then add the soup made with tomato sauce.
Beef is high in protein, soft and chewy, and children love it.
The second delicacy is spareribs noodle soup. After adding onion, ginger, garlic and vinegar, the spareribs are simmered in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes. The stewed spareribs are directly added to the already cooked noodles.
This dish can replenish calcium and phosphorus.
Let’s take a look at the third dish first. It is seabass in fruit milk sauce. After the seabass is fried to become crispy, it is placed on a plate. Then, apples, pears, hawthorns, green peas, tomato sauce, and evaporated milk are used to mix them into a sauce. Finally, it is poured on top of the seabass on the plate.
Seabass is rich in protein and has a sweet and sour taste that is particularly appetizing.
Don’t forget to drink plenty of water and soft foods
Hydration in autumn is a top priority.
It is recommended to drink more warm water , millet porridge or soy milk .
At the same time, you can eat sesame seeds, honey, lily, almonds, and soft foods such as dairy products in moderation. These foods can benefit the stomach and produce body fluids, which are of great benefit to health.
Moreover, seaweed is rich in soluble fiber fucolic acid, which can help the human body avoid radiation damage. It is good for making sushi for children or as a snack.
Foods with spicy smells, such as celery, have a dispersing effect and are suitable for consumption in autumn.
The diet in autumn is not complicated. You only need to remember "less pungent" and "increased acidity", as well as "preventing dryness" and "warming and nourishing". These eight words are enough.
Eat less peppers, onions and ginger, more pears, radishes, and honey. When cooking, cook more and less fry.
Adjust to the seasons and your body will naturally feel comfortable throughout the fall.
