The cold climate in winter makes our bodies vulnerable to the invasion of cold air, leading to symptoms such as stomach cold and stomach pain. At this time, we need to eat some warming foods to regulate our spleen and stomach. Below, I will recommend several stomach-warming foods for everyone!
1. Brown Sugar
Brown sugar has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, invigorating the spleen, warming the stomach, promoting blood circulation, and resolving stasis. It is also suitable for the elderly and children with anemia. Boiling brown sugar with longan and ginger juice to make a drink can nourish the blood and warm the body, preventing cold hands and feet in the cold winter.
2. Chili Pepper
The spicy taste of chili peppers can stimulate our appetite and has a great effect on warming the stomach and dispelling cold. It is also effective in treating indigestion.
3. Millet
Millet has the effects of invigorating the spleen and stomach, nourishing the kidney qi, clearing heat, promoting urination, and treating irritability and thirst. It is a highly nutritious food for treating weak spleen and stomach, physical weakness, blood deficiency, postpartum weakness, and poor appetite.
4. Glutinous Rice
Glutinous rice, also known as "sticky rice," has a mild nature and sweet taste, suitable for people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold. It has the effects of warming the spleen and stomach, relieving dry mouth and tongue, improving spontaneous sweating, and treating diarrhea.
5. Lamb Meat
Eating lamb meat in winter has a dual effect of supplementing and preventing cold. Lamb meat has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, warming the middle, tonifying the kidney and yang, promoting muscle growth, and resisting wind and cold.
6. Ginger
Ginger's unique "gingerol" can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, enhance digestion, and effectively relieve bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms caused by excessive consumption of cold food.
