"Light" tonic in winter! Wolfberry and crucian carp soup nourishes the body and brain

The cold winter is coming, which means it’s time to eat tonic food again! As the weather gradually turns cooler, many people start to make appointments with friends to eat sesame oil chicken, ginger duck, shochu chicken, mutton hotpot, etc., hoping to warm up the body and improve immunity. However, these delicious tonic soups are almost all high-fat, high-sodium, and high-calorie foods. Not only are they easy to cause obesity, but they are also a burden on the health of patients with chronic diseases such as kidney disease, hypertension, and heart disease!

Master the three principles of nourishing the body: less oil, less salt, and high fiber

Is it true that the only way to nourish your body is to choose greasy food that easily exceeds the calorie limit? In fact, as long as you choose the right ingredients and control the amount of seasoning, and abide by the three principles of "less oil, less salt, and high fiber", you can eat tonic soup healthily and without burden! Most tonic soups are cooked with meat or offal as the main ingredients, and the fat content is actually very high, so it is recommended to use low-fat seafood, such as fish, as a substitute. While reducing fat intake, you can also supplement unsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial to the human body. Today I want to recommend this "Angelica Wolfberry Crucian Carp Soup" to everyone, so that you can warm your body in this cold winter without eating traditional tonic soups!

Crucian carp is rich in high-quality protein and a good tonic food

Crucian carp is a food source of excellent protein, rich in Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin B, iron, zinc and other nutrients. It is especially rich in protein, which has a high biological value and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. It can provide the nutrients needed for human growth, and is also involved in repairing cell tissues and maintaining the normal functioning of the immune system. It is very suitable as a good tonic food in winter!

In addition, the EPA and DHA in the rich Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids in crucian carp can activate the brain and promote the development of brain cells. DHA is an important component of nerve cell membranes and can maintain the normal functioning of the brain's nerve conduction system. During the development of children, consuming more Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids will help the development of brain nerve cells, thereby improving learning ability and concentration. In addition, EPA also has anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of vascular blockage, cerebral stroke, etc.

Features of Chinese medicinal ingredients:

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, angelica has a sweet and spicy taste, and is warm and moist in nature. It can replenish blood and promote blood circulation, regulate menstruation and relieve pain, moisturize the intestines, and improve qi and blood deficiency. Lycium barbarum has the characteristics of nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney, warming and nourishing the skin. When combined with ginger slices, it can promote blood circulation, dispel cold, and improve problems such as cold hands and feet.

Tips from nutritionists

Modern people generally have adequate nutritional intake and do not actually need special supplements. It is more important to maintain a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, maintain a normal schedule, and exercise regularly. In addition, if the wrong ingredients are chosen for winter supplements or if excessive amounts are eaten, not only will the calorie intake exceed the limit and increase the burden on the body, it will also cause problems such as dry mouth, acne, and constipation. Therefore, everyone should understand their own physical condition and choose the right food tonic according to their personal needs, so as to truly make the body healthy and energetic!
