The cold days have come and the flu and cold season with
them. How to keep in good health when everyone aroud is sneezing and coughing and windy and rainy weather makes you freeze?
Besides so obvious things like wearing warm waterproof clothes, a cap and a scarf, we should focus on proper nutrition. In cold
season it’s not only important to be
provided with vitamins but also to keep
us warm. According to Chinese medicine, we can divide food in few groups due to
energy that transmits: cold, neutral or warm. Here you have a short list of
products that belong to the last one.
Vegetables: pepper, chives, bean, kale, leek, onion, parsley, garlic
Fruits: cherries, coconut, dried papaya, grape, lychee, pineapple,
raspberry, mandarin
Grains: oats, bran wheat, wheatgerms
Meat: beef, chicken, fish, prawn, turkey, mutton
Seeds and legumes: black bean, sesame, chestnut, lentil, walnut
Herbs: anise, basil, cardamom, cloves, dill, ginger, ginseng, black pepper,
cinnamon, turmeric
I will try this recipe. Thanks! ;)
