CCTV News: The Little Cold solar term is also a good time to nourish and maintain health in winter, but there are ways to "eat" scientifically. How to scientifically supplement the problem in winter? Have you done it right?

Zhang Xianhui, director of the Health Management Center of Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that in winter, the use of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed a good choice, but it is not the more expensive the medicinal material, the better the effect. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine depends on its efficacy, nature and taste and personal physique. For example, ginseng is a precious medicinal material, suitable for people with weak constitution, shortness of breath, but not for people with hot constitutions or colds.

This statement is not completely correct. Experts explain that the human body does need more calories to resist the cold in winter, and high-calorie and fatty foods can help the body stay warm and provide energy to a certain extent. But this does not mean that the more meat you eat, the better. You must be moderate, especially fried food, fat meat, etc. Eating too much will easily lead to "three highs". You can eat more foods that nourish the spleen and stomach, warm the kidneys and help yang.

Yu Guoyong, director of the Prevention Treatment Center of Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that among warm foods, animal food is the first choice. For example, chicken, beef and mutton are especially suitable for people who are usually afraid of cold and have yang deficiency. If in addition to yang deficiency, there are some people with yin deficiency who are usually afraid of heat in their hands and feet, then you can choose duck meat.

At the same time, add a little bitter food to your diet, bitter foods can help nourish your heart. Moreover, in the solar terms, we should pay special attention to diversification, combining "essential" and "coarse", "meat" and "vegetarian" to ensure a balanced diet.

Director Zhang Xianhui introduced that the statement that eating less fruits in winter is not very accurate. Consider different constitutions, hot constitutions are suitable for eating cold fruits such as watermelon, strawberries, apples, etc. Cold constitution is suitable for eating hot fruits such as oranges, longans, hawthorns, pomegranates, etc. At the same time, you should avoid eating fruits on an empty stomach and not eating cold fruits.
