Asparagus porridge

Perhaps everyone is not very clear about some knowledge about Asparagus Coptis chinensis porridge. Please see the detailed introduction below.

Asparagus porridge

In autumn, in addition to snow pear, lotus root, white fungus and radish, Chinese medicinal materials such as Ophiopogon japonicus and Adenophora stigmata are often used in food. Now I would like to recommend a lung-nourishing food that is more effective than Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum - Asparagus cochinchinensis.

Asparagus is the tuberous root of the plant Asparagus cochinchinensis, and some families cultivate this plant. At present, everyone has experienced autumn dryness, which makes everyone yin-deficient and lung-dry. Many people with poor resistance have symptoms such as dry nasopharynx, sore throat and itchy throat, dry cough, thirst and dry mouth, dry skin, physical weakness, irritability and palpitations. The Medical Health Center once introduced that if you can take tonics in time and take products that nourish yin and moisten dryness, you can effectively relieve the above discomfort. Among them, snow pears, water chestnuts, sugar cane, white fungus, and honey are all good products. Li Gongying, deputy director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, introduced that in addition to the above ingredients, asparagus is also a good thing for nourishing yin and moistening dryness in autumn and winter, and it is the best choice.

Asparagus cochinchinensis is sweet, moist, bitter and cold in nature. It is suitable for people with yin deficiency, dry lungs, heat, dry cough, less sputum, hemoptysis, sore throat and hoarseness. For people who cough but can't cough up sputum, eating asparagus cochinchinensis can both relieve cough and remove sputum. The way to eat asparagus cochinchinensis is the same as that of commonly used Chinese medicines such as Ophiopogon japonicus, Adenophora radix and Fritillaria cirrhosa. It can be added to porridge and soup for daily consumption.

In addition to relieving autumn cough, Chinese medicine believes that asparagus can also eliminate fatigue and enhance energy. This is because it also has the effect of nourishing yin and kidney yin, and is suitable for office workers. But it is better at nourishing lung yin, so timely supplementing asparagus in autumn and winter can prevent and treat a series of dryness and heat symptoms caused by dryness and can fight against dry skin and keep the skin moisturized. It should be warned that as asparagus is sweet, cold and moist, it is easy to cause diarrhea, chest tightness, abdominal distension, and lack of energy.

Modern research shows that the main components of asparagine are 19 kinds of amino acids such as asparagine, citrulline, glycine, a variety of oligosaccharides, steroidal saponins, asparagine polysaccharides, etc. Pharmacological studies have shown that asparagine can protect the myocardium and liver; stabilize blood pressure, lower cholesterol, blood sugar and have antibacterial effects; and has a strong effect of scavenging superoxide free radicals, thereby reducing the occurrence of atherosclerosis and tumors, and indirectly delaying aging.

The general public is relatively unfamiliar with Asparagus cochinchinensis, so Li Gongying specially introduced the method of using Asparagus cochinchinensis in cooking.
