Two more days to enter the dog days. When the weather is hot, most people prefer to eat cold dishes, such as cold dishes, cold noodles, ice cream, and ice watermelon. Little do they know, being too fond of the cold in summer not only fails to relieve heat but also harms the spleen and stomach. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that in summer, it is appropriate to eat some
lamb
a bowl of lamb soup
without the need for a prescription.
Many people think lamb is suitable for winter consumption, but it is also a good time to eat lamb in summer.
There is an ancient saying “a bowl of lamb soup in the dog days is equivalent to no prescription needed,” clearly illustrating the efficacy of lamb during that period.
Due to excessive exposure to air conditioning and consumption of cold drinks in summer, the body is prone to excess coldness. Eating lamb, which is a hot meat, can help warm the body, dispel coldness, tonify the middle, boost qi, and is particularly suitable for those who have cold hands and feet and insufficient qi and blood in summer.
Many dislike the gaminess of lamb, not to worry, today we have prepared
a piece of cooked lamb
1 egg starch scallion segments
soy sauce salt water cooking wine sweet bean sauce, Sichuan peppercorns salt cooking oil
When eating lamb during the dog days, pay attention to the balance of meat and vegetables, warmth, and coolness. For example, when eating hot pot lamb, eat more cabbage, winter melon, and greens to balance warmth and coolness.
Those who suffer from toothache, heatiness, fever, infections, and have a predominantly hot constitution should avoid eating hot meats.
