The best choice for spring nourishment and health care: Gastrodia walnut and wolfberry chicken soup
Overview
Spring is the first of the four seasons, and it is also an important season for Chinese people to make plans for the year. They must make plans for their careers and studies in this spring, and lay a good foundation for their bodies in spring. The weather in spring is pleasant, saying goodbye to the severe cold of winter, and there is no unbearable heat in summer. As the old saying goes: "You only give away cotton clothes after eating Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings." 】The weather is unstable before Qingming. It is the season to wear coats in the morning and yarn in the afternoon. It is common for large temperature differences to cause outpatient surgeries in hospitals. Nourishing with soup in spring is the best choice. In our country, the food therapy culture has a long history of eating to keep fit, eating to prevent diseases, and eating medicines and foods that can cure diseases. Among the five poultry, chicken should be in the liver. Drinking chicken soup nourishes liver blood, which is the best way to nourish the liver. Walnuts have been a good nourishing food since ancient times. The shape of walnuts is like a miniature brain, which is a complete reproduction of the brain, including folds and folds, which are similar to the cerebral cortex. This is also consistent with the Chinese medicine principle of using form to complement form. The addition of walnuts has the effect of strengthening the brain and increasing intelligence; traditional Chinese medicine records that "long-term use of Gastrodia elata improves strength, makes the body fatter and healthier, and makes the body lighter and longer". Gastrodia elata is a traditional and valuable medicinal material. Gastrodia elata is used for high-altitude flyers as a brain health drug, which can enhance the resolution ability of the optic nerve. As early as "Compendium of Materia Medica", the pharmacological effects of Gastrodia elata have been highly evaluated. There is a special substance in chicken soup that can enhance interpharyngeal blood circulation and nasal mucosa secretion, which is of great benefit to keeping the respiratory tract clear, clearing respiratory viruses, and relieving symptoms of colds, nasal congestion, dry throat and coughs. Stew the soup with native chicken, gastrodia elata, walnuts and wolfberry; it can not only satisfy your cravings, but also provide some health care.
