​

Winter dates, winter sugar cane, winter melon. Eat the "Three Winters" in the Great Cold

1. Winter jujube

Dongzao is very nutritious, containing 19 kinds of essential amino acids such as aspartic acid, threonine, and serine. It is especially rich in vitamin C and has the reputation of "living vitamin pill". It can detoxify and protect liver, prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, improve human immunity and prevent colds.

2. Winter sugarcane

Winter sugarcane can nourish blood and moisturize dryness. It not only refreshes the mind, but also clears away heat, lowers qi, nourishes the lungs and nourishes the stomach. Sugarcane contains a large amount of iron, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc and other trace elements necessary for the human body. Among them, the iron content is particularly high, and it is known as the "blood-tonifying fruit". After winter, many office workers often feel dizzy and lethargic, and their reaction ability decreases. At this time, eating some sugar cane is of great benefit.

3. Winter melon

Winter melon contains a lot of dietary fiber, which can help lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol in the body, lower blood lipids, and prevent atherosclerosis. Winter melon has high potassium content and low sodium content. It is also a good dietary supplement for patients with high blood pressure.

Like Xiaohan, Dahan is also a solar term that indicates the degree of coldness. It is also the last solar term of the year, followed by the beginning of spring next year. Because it is close to spring, although it is not as cold as the heavy snowfall to the winter solstice and minor cold in meteorological records, it is still in a cold period. Folklore calls it "a small cold or a big cold, and the cold turns into ice balls." At this time, people are busy removing old cloth, making new dishes, pickling New Year dishes, preparing New Year goods, and can already vaguely feel the return of spring. In ancient times, there was a saying: "During severe colds, protect against wind and cold, drink ginseng and astragalus wine in the morning, and take Qiju Dihuang pills in the evening." This is a summary of the life of the wise ancients, and it also shows that people attach great importance to physical care.
