It is the spring season for all things to recover after the waking of insects, but it is also the season for all kinds of viruses and bacteria. During this period, the vital energy of liver and Yang of the human body rises gradually, and Yin and blood are relatively insufficient. Health preservation should follow the rising of Yang and the characteristics of the birth of all things, so that the spirit, mood and blood of the human body can stretch as smoothly as the spring and be full of vitality. From the point of view of diets, eating and living in the time of the waking of insects should conform to the nature of the liver, help the temper, and make the five organs peaceful. So what kind of meat should we eat and what should we pay attention to when we eat it?
Three kinds of meat are suitable for eating in spring
Pork is dry in spring. Lean pork has the function of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. It has certain therapeutic effect on fever, dampness, cough, constipation and other diseases. Pork moisturizes and beautifies the skin because it is rich in vitamin A, so it is very suitable for eating in dry and windy weather. Vitamin A has the function of regulating metabolism of epidermis and cuticle. It can resist aging, remove wrinkles, reduce seborrhea and make skin elastic. At the same time, it can weaken spots and soften skin.
Pork is one of the most important animal foods on people's table. Because pork fiber is relatively soft, connective tissue is less, muscle tissue contains more intermuscular fat, so the meat after cooking is particularly delicious.
Chicken supplement in spring can choose chicken which can improve immunity and prevent colds. Its protein content is high and easy to digest. It is easy to be absorbed and utilized by human body. It can enhance physical strength and strengthen the body. Chinese medicine holds that chicken is calm, warm and sweet, enters the spleen meridian and stomach meridian, and has the functions of warming the body, promoting blood circulation and strengthening the muscles, invigorating the spleen and stomach, replenishing deficiency and filling essence. Chicken contains vitamin C, E, and phospholipids, which play an important role in human body. Chicken is one of the important sources of fat and phospholipids in Chinese dietary structure.
Chicken meat is delicate, delicious, suitable for a variety of cooking methods, and nutritious, nourishing the body.
Beef spring diet focuses on nourishing liver and spleen, less sour food and more sweet food to nourish liver and spleen, which is good for disease prevention and health care. Beef has the ancient saying of "beef nourish one's vitality, merit and astragalus", which is a good product for tonifying the spleen and stomach, accompanied by potatoes, and is also a "double swordsman" for tonifying the spleen and stomach. The amino acid composition of beef protein is closer to human needs than pork. It can improve the body's disease resistance. It is especially suitable for people who grow and develop, after operation and after illness.
However, the muscle fibers of beef are rough and difficult to digest, and have high cholesterol and fat. Therefore, the elderly, children and people with weak digestion should not eat more. Eat beef once a week. Don't eat too much.
Meat eating is exquisite
It is not suitable to eat too much meat in spring. Protein in meat can also be replaced by milk and legumes. However, B vitamins, essential fatty acids and minerals such as zinc and iron can not be replaced by vegetables and fruits. Therefore, we do not need meat, but do not need to eat too much meat.
Meat can be divided into red meat and white meat. Red meat refers to meat that appears red before cooking. Pork, beef, mutton, rabbit and all other mammalian meat belongs to this category. White meat refers to meat with fine muscle fiber, low fat content and high unsaturated fatty acid content in fat, including chicken, duck, goose, fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans and so on.
Physical workers are suitable for eating red meat, mental workers should eat more white meat; men need more red meat, women need less red meat, can eat more white meat; old people's physical function deterioration, eat more red meat easily lead to cardiovascular disease and dementia; children in order to meet the needs of physical development, both kinds of meat should be eaten. If you suffer from obesity, heart disease, hypertension and other chronic diseases, it is better to eat less meat and more legumes.
