Suitable foods for health preservation during Xiaoxue solar term

When maintaining health during the Xiaoxue solar term, you must pay attention to the dietary taboos. Which foods can you eat and which foods cannot you eat, and which foods must you avoid? This is something that many people are not clear about.

First, let’s take a look at what is suitable to eat during the Xiaoxue solar term for health preservation.

1. Fruits: Bananas are the first choice (bananas contain substances that can help the human brain produce 5-hydroxytryptamine);

2. Drinks: Water chestnut soy milk drink (juice 5 water chestnuts, add 250 grams of soy milk and cook, add appropriate amount of sugar);

3. Dish: Celery fried with mushrooms (400 grams of celery, 50 grams of soaked mushrooms, stir-fry both with seasonings).

Avoid eating hot foods during the Xiaoxue solar term

Winter is cold, and people like to eat warm food to resist the cold. For example, people in northern my country like to eat mutton in winter, while people in southern China like to eat soft-shelled turtle in winter, both of which are warm and nourishing foods. However, not all hot foods are suitable for consumption during the Minor Snow season. Eating too much hot and dry food can easily cause getting a sore throat, or even develop a heaty disease.

Therefore, you can eat more mutton, soft-shelled turtle, sea cucumber, etc. starting from Xiaoxue, but do not consume too much hot food, such as over-fried or baked food, food with too much chili, pepper, or Sichuan pepper, or strong liquor. Eating too much salt in winter is also bad for the body. Salty taste enters the kidneys, which can cause the kidney water to become colder and disturb the heart yang. Therefore, it is better to eat less salt in winter to avoid "adding insult to injury" and damaging the body's yang energy. People with high blood pressure should eat less salt.

The above has introduced in detail the dietary do's and don'ts for health preservation during the Xiaoxue solar term. Of course, there are many more diets that cannot be listed here one by one. I hope everyone will pay attention to the diet for health preservation during the Xiaoxue solar term, pay attention to health, especially the dietary taboos. Everyone should remember not to eat according to their own preferences, and especially make appropriate adjustments according to their own bodies.
