Eat More Vegetables after the Mid-Autumn Festival
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather becomes noticeably cooler with large temperature differences between morning and evening. The body's metabolism slows down, making it easy to catch a cold or cough.
In addition to respiratory problems, some people may experience dry skin, diarrhea, constipation, and other gastrointestinal disorders. Vegetables not only contribute to overall health but also assist in the treatment of certain diseases.
1. Lettuce and Cauliflower
Cauliflower contains 3-4 times more vitamin C than cabbage and soybean sprouts, and twice as much as oranges.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always believed that "white foods nourish the lungs". The pure white cauliflower is a suitable health vegetable. It not only prevents colds and other respiratory diseases but also acts as a good cleanser for the blood vessels.
Lettuce is rich in vitamins and trace elements and has a high water content compared to other vegetables. Eating more lettuce helps hydrate the skin and assists in the treatment of acne caused by poor gastrointestinal function.
2. Lettuce and Bitter Gourd
Bitter gourd is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and other nutrients. It contains active proteins with anti-cancer properties, which not only increase the activity of immune cells but also help eliminate toxins and aid in detoxification.
3. Cilantro and Chinese Chives
Chinese chives are rich in carotene, protein, sulfides, and dietary fiber. Consuming Chinese chives can help with digestion, relieve stagnation, invigorate the spleen, and stimulate appetite.
Cilantro has a unique fragrance and can stimulate appetite and improve digestion.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, cilantro can warm the stomach and invigorate the spleen. Eating cilantro in moderation can alleviate symptoms such as stomach pain and indigestion.
