In the dog days of summer, have a bowl of “intestinal-clearing and appetite-opening soup” to boost your appetite, eliminate waste, and slim down
On hot days like these, people don’t feel like moving and just want to stay in an air-conditioned room, but sitting for prolonged periods and constantly using air-conditioning isn’t good for health. During summer, people talk about losing weight, but how many actually succeed? It’s so hot that people are even less willing to go running or exercise. Many office workers sit all day, leading to bloated bellies and accumulating waste in the body that isn’t promptly eliminated. With symptoms of constipation, the waste continues to build up inside. Today, share a bowl of “intestinal-clearing and appetite-opening soup” to tide over the dog days, boost appetite, eliminate waste, and slim down, killing two birds with one stone.
This bowl of soup is made with Hawthorn and Tremella, Tremella is a food rich in collagen, great for beauty and skin care. Additionally, Tremella is rich in dietary fiber, aiding in clearing the intestines, eliminating waste, shedding excess fat, and slimming down. Stewed Tremella soup in the summer is smooth in texture, with a clear and sweet taste. When served chilled, it’s even more enjoyable than a cold drink. However, stewing Tremella soup alone lacks a bit of flavor, so adding some Hawthorn, with its sour taste, can stimulate the appetite during summer and also aids in digestion. Thus, this bowl not only helps in weight loss and slimming down but also promotes beauty and skin care. Ladies, don’t miss out on it, let’s take a look at the recipe together~
