Dietary Therapy: The Secret Treasure of Health and Wellness
Dear friends, today I want to share with you the magical topic of dietary therapy. Dietary therapy is like a key that opens the door to health; it plays an indispensable role in our lives.
## The Natural Power of Ingredients
The ingredients themselves contain immense natural power. For example, ginger (jiang) is not just a seasoning in the kitchen. Ginger is warm in nature and has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving exterior symptoms. When we accidentally catch a chill, drinking a bowl of ginger soup spreads warmth throughout the body, making us feel much more comfortable. Moreover, ginger can also alleviate nausea; many people find relief from motion sickness or morning sickness during early pregnancy with ginger. Then there’s garlic (da suan), which, despite its strong flavor, has remarkable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Eating more garlic in our daily lives can enhance our body’s resistance, making it difficult for pathogens to invade. It’s like building a natural protective wall around our bodies.
## The Charm of Dietary Soups
Soups hold a very important position in dietary therapy. For instance, red date and longan soup (hong zao gui yuan tang) nourishes qi and blood, while longan nourishes the heart and spleen. When we feel deficient in qi and blood, with a pale complexion, a bowl of red date and longan soup feels like injecting a source of vitality into our bodies. The sweet aroma spreads in our mouths while nourishing our bodies. Another example is the snow fungus and lotus seed soup (yin er lian zi tang), where snow fungus is rich in collagen, which is particularly good for the skin. Lotus seeds can calm the heart and soothe the mind. After a busy day, drinking a bowl of snow fungus and lotus seed soup not only hydrates the skin but also calms our restless minds. It feels like a gentle massage for both the body and the spirit.
Friends, dietary therapy is truly a fascinating field. It doesn’t require us to take bitter medicines; with just a few adjustments in our daily diet, we can improve our health.
