Introduction:

"Mutton is a common food on the table in northern China in winter. As the saying goes: "delicious food should be matched with beautiful utensils, and medical treatment is not as good as dietotherapy". Mutton is warm in nature, tonifying qi and Yin, tonifying deficiency in warmth, and invigorating the stomach. It is called warm tonic for tonifying Yuanyang and blood Qi in compendium of Materia Medica. Warm is tonic to human body. For example, the elderly are afraid of cold in winter, so they will feel warm when they eat mutton. This is recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang qiongzhi and qianjinshu of Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that mutton is the best food for people to take tonic in winter. Mutton is tender, high in protein and rich in vitamins. The fat melting point of sheep is 47 degrees, because people's body temperature is 37 degrees, even if they eat, they will not be absorbed by the body, and they will not get fat. Mutton is tender and easy to digest. Eating more mutton can only improve physical fitness and improve the ability of anti disease. And there will be no other side effects, so now people often say: "to live a long life, often eat mutton.". Suitable for people: for the general population. Note: when referring to mutton in compendium of Materia Medica, it is said that eating mutton with vinegar hurts people's heart. Mutton is very hot, sweet and warm in vinegar, similar to wine. It is easy to cause fire and blood when cooked together. Therefore, vinegar should not be added to mutton soup, especially for patients with heart dysfunction and blood diseases. In addition, according to the compendium of Materia Medica, "mutton is cooked in bronze ware: Men's Yang is damaged, women's things are destroyed; the difference of sex is so, we can't know." The reason for this is that when copper meets with acid or alkali and is at high temperature, it can change chemically to form copper salt. Mutton is a kind of high protein food. When they are cooked together, some toxic substances will be produced, which is harmful to human health. Hepatitis patients eat too much mutton, can increase the burden on the liver, leading to disease. Drink tea immediately after eating mutton, easy to constipation. Yam is rich in cellulose, choline, mucus and other components, which can provide a large number of mucus protein for human body. Moreover, yam is a mixture of polysaccharide and protein, which has a special health care effect on human body. This kind of mucus protein can prevent fat deposition of cardiovascular system, maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, and prevent the premature occurrence of atherosclerosis; at the same time, it can reduce subcutaneous fat accumulation, and avoid obesity; and when this kind of mucus polysaccharide material is combined with inorganic salt, it can also form bone, make cartilage full of certain elasticity, and help to prevent senile fracture. Yam also has high medicinal value. According to traditional Chinese medicine, yam is a good tonic "food medicine" because it has the functions of Tonifying the spleen and kidney, nourishing the lung, stopping diarrhea and accumulating sweat. Taking some yam before tonic in autumn and winter is more conducive to the absorption of tonic. Yam is a kind of medicine for tonifying the middle and Qi, which has the function of Tonifying the spleen and stomach. It is especially suitable for those who are weak in the spleen and stomach. Yam is a good helper for slimming, because it contains less calories, more nutrition and rich crude fiber, which can easily increase people's satiety and control their eating desire. And yam fat content is very low, every 100 grams of yam contains only 0.2 grams of fat, so as to achieve the purpose of slimming. Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet are closely related to physical weakness, and yam has a good tonic, Qi, blood function, especially suitable for patients with cold hands and feet in winter. Chinese yam has the function of invigorating the spleen and Qi. Therefore, the patients with Qi deficiency of sweating and repeated cold should moderately increase the intake of Chinese yam in autumn and winter. Suitable for people: the general population can eat. Note: yam has astringent effect, so it is not suitable for those with dry stool; in addition, those with solid evil should not eat yam. Yam and kansui do not eat together; also can not take with alkaline drugs. As for the nutrition of carrots, we all know that carrots are known as "little ginseng". They have high nutritional value. They contain a lot of carotene and plant fiber, especially the content of carotene among the top vegetables. Carotene has important effects such as maintaining the normal function of epithelial cells, preventing respiratory tract infection, promoting human growth and development, and participating in the synthesis of rhodopsin. Note: carotene is a fat soluble substance, so it can be well absorbed only in oil. Therefore, when eating carrots, it is best to cook them with oil or simmer them with meat to ensure that the effective ingredients are absorbed and utilized by the human body. "
