Autumn Qi-boosting soup----Astragalus and old chicken soup

Overview

I particularly like autumn. I was born in the time of autumn. In autumn, people don’t sweat when they go out, and they don’t have to put on many kilograms of clothes. People are particularly relaxed and light when walking. But autumn is easy to get sick, the weather is dry, people's temper is also easy to dry, and it is easy to catch a cold. Even if a cold is not completely cured in half a month, it is also very easy to get angry and dry. It is easy to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases in autumn. The weather is cool and people's appetite increases, which can easily lead to increased gastrointestinal burden and functional disorders. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. If you catch a cold without paying attention, it may induce colon allergy, increase intestinal motility and cause diarrhea; human immune function will decline in autumn: after the human body is stimulated by cold air, the chemical component histamine in the blood increases, gastric acid secretion increases, gastrointestinal spasmodic contractions occur, which reduces the body's resistance and adaptability, and can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases. It is indeed very necessary to take supplements in autumn. Proper supplementation can not only make up for excessive consumption in summer, but also enhance the body's ability to adapt to cold weather and prepare for a safe winter. In autumn, those who are weak can use astragalus to stew chicken. Astragalus is a traditional tonic medicine, which has the functions of replenishing qi, replenishing deficiency, promoting yang, strengthening the surface, relieving toxins and promoting muscle growth.
