In autumn and winter, you should go for the black and white diet style! Improve drainage and metabolism at once

What do you think of when you think of black and white? Is it the pandas and penguins in the zoo, or the Malayan tapir that is extremely popular in the illustration world? In fact, what I want to share today is not these cute animals, but the fact that the food world can also have a black and white mix and match style! The five internal organs of the human body - liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys - correspond to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water respectively, and the corresponding solar terms are spring, summer, long summer, autumn, and winter. Hence the saying "spring nourishes the liver, summer nourishes the heart, long summer nourishes the spleen, autumn nourishes the lungs, and winter nourishes the kidneys."

Take advantage of this time to nourish your kidneys and lungs. What are the black and white foods?

Now we have officially entered autumn, and the chilly winter is coming. It is the right time to nourish the lungs and kidneys. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is suitable to eat more white foods in autumn. White enters the lung meridian. You can eat more white broccoli, white radish, mushrooms, white fungus, coix seed, yam, lotus root, lily, etc.

Black enters the kidneys, so it is suitable to eat more black foods in winter, such as black beans, black sesame seeds, black fungus, cocoa, cassia seeds, etc. The shiny black color of the black bean skin comes from the plant nutrient "anthocyanin", which can provide strong antioxidant capacity and reduce the damage of free radicals to the human body. People who suffer from edema can also eat more black beans to help the body metabolize and drain water. Cocoa is rich in theobromine, which can help sharpen thinking and concentrate energy. The tryptophan and magnesium in it can help the production of serotonin and calm emotions. Cassia seed has the effects of nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements, detoxifying and beautifying the skin.

When it comes to reducing edema, I believe many people must have the trouble of gaining weight easily in winter, right? Because it was cold and I was too lazy to move, my appetite increased and before I knew it... It was terrible! In addition to nourishing the lungs and kidneys, are there any effective ways to keep your body from ruining?

Four-angled white powdery vine, you don’t have to worry about losing your figure in winter!

Now I’d like to share with you another special plant! It cannot be used for cooking, nor can it be eaten raw. It does not look very beautiful and cannot be used as an ornamental potted plant. However, it is a darling in the plant kingdom, and people often mention its name: "Four-angled White Powdery Knot". What is so magical about it that makes people love it so much?

Four-sided cissus is a plant belonging to the grape family. Its origin is mainly in India, Sri Lanka and other places. According to the records in Ayurveda (the most complete ancient medicine in existence today), Four-sided cissus was originally used to treat indigestion, asthma and as a sedative for eye or ear discomfort. It is a medicinal herb.

But later, a medical team discovered that the four-angled citrus vine can actually inhibit the digestive enzyme lipase, α-amylase, α-glucosidase and trypsin. Therefore, a series of studies on weight control and metabolic syndrome prevention were conducted, confirming its effectiveness in this regard. As a result, it has become a big hit in beauty and health products. Its rich plant sterols and water-soluble plant fiber can increase satiety and lower cholesterol. The drainage metabolism of black food plus the four-angled citrus vine's function of inhibiting digestive enzymes can achieve the purpose of helping to control weight. It really takes care of two things at once.
