Don't forget the "citation" in winter

BY Berton Gladstone 2020-06-08

   In folk traditions, they are used to tonic in winter. The motherland medicine has the theory of "winter storage essence" and "autumn and nourishing yin". It is believed that timely winter supplementation is a good season for strengthening. Three years of severe winter supplementation can maximize the energy of nutrient conversion to participate in the body. And the 9th of the winter solstice is the turning point in the year when yin qi is extremely strong and yang qi begins to be saved. Therefore, at this time, tonic, yin nurturing vitality, nourishing essence and rejuvenating, help the body''s yang to grow, and lay the foundation for the health of the next spring from spring to the whole year.

  However, no matter from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine or modern medicine, the purpose of supplementation is to make up for its deficiencies, that is, what nutrients the body lacks, it is to supplement nutrients. As the saying goes: the medicine symptom matches, rhubarb also makes up, the medicine symptom does not match, the ginseng is also poisonous. Therefore, tonics must pay attention to objects and methods to be targeted.

   When it comes to making winter supplements, it is best to make supplements first, that is, "bottom supplements". The so-called "bottom" is to lay the foundation. On this basis, taking nourishing medicine can increase the tonic effect, and there will be no "virtual nourishing" situation. We can choose to stew beef with Gushi, or stew with Gushi, red dates, peanuts and brown sugar to adjust the spleen and stomach function. You can also stew some lamb and add ginger to make lamb jujube soup, which has the same effect.

   Therefore, in winter, although we need to make up. But everyone should also pay attention to the way, so that food can play a greater role.
