Bird's nest is a precious tonic with relatively high value. Eating some of it regularly will have excellent effects on health care and beauty. There are many ways to eat bird's nest. You can cook dishes or eat it simply. You need to pay attention when eating it. It does not mean that you can achieve good health effects by eating it once or twice. You can eat it about ten times a month, and each time, the dry bird's nest should not be less than 3 to 5 grams, and the soaked bird's nest should be around 20 to 30 grams.

The best time to eat bird's nest

Take it before going to bed at night and on an empty stomach in the morning. If you need to monitor your weight, it is recommended to eat it on an empty stomach in the morning. Eating bird's nest with milk on an empty stomach before going to bed at night is not only beneficial to the absorption of nutrients, but also can help sleep, and has the effect of beauty and moisturizing.

Specific method of making bird's nest:

1. Take a piece of pure bird's nest and soak it in pure water for about 2-4 hours. (It is better to soak it until it is soft)

2. Tear the foamed bird's nest into thin strips with your hands, and use tweezers to remove the very small amount of remaining impurities and small hairs.

3. Place the pot on the gas stove or induction cooker and put boiling water in the pot (or boil cold water).

4. Take out the cleaned bird's nest, put it into a ceramic stewing pot or a ceramic cup (with a lid), add boiled purified water, as long as the water is about 1 cm above the bird's nest. Put the stewing pot into the pot of boiled water (it is best to put a small rack at the bottom of the pot), and simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes.

5. After stewing, add appropriate amount of rock sugar, milk, prepared instant coconut powder or honey (just add a single seasoning) while it is hot. You can also add red dates or wolfberries before stewing.

Food taboos

1. People who are allergic to protein should not eat it.

Bird’s nest is rich in protein. If you are allergic to protein, you probably cannot eat bird’s nest. But if you are allergic but still want to eat bird's nest, you can actually eat a little less every day and slowly increase the amount as appropriate!

2. It is not suitable for people with advanced cancer or those who have not been treated.

Although bird's nest can prevent cancer, supplement the patient's nutrition and repair his vitality. But bird’s nest has another function, which is to promote cell division. This effect is very good when applied to beauty, but it would be bad if it was used on cancer cells and promoted the division of cancer cells. Therefore, people with advanced cancer or those who have not received treatment should not eat it.

3. Newborns should not eat it.

Babies under 4 months old should not eat bird's nest. This is because the internal organs of newborns are not fully developed and cannot absorb all the nutrients in the bird's nest. If consumed, it will cause indigestion, so it is not suitable for babies under 4 months old. But if you eat it after 4 months, the nutrients can be absorbed well and it can also increase your appetite! But bird's nest needs to be stewed for a longer time!
