What to eat for men with insufficient Qi and blood

Everyone is familiar with the term "qi and blood deficiency", but they don't know the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, especially for male friends. In fact, they usually have difficulty falling asleep, are easily startled, wake up easily, urinate frequently at night, breathe heavily or snore loudly, which means that our body has qi and blood deficiency. So what should men eat when they have qi and blood deficiency?

1. Beef and tomato soup

Beef and tomato soup is a good choice for you. Beef is the meat with the highest iron content (except liver). Chinese medicine says that it is also a good food for replenishing qi and blood, regulating the spleen and stomach, and the calories are not high.

Another thing to note when supplementing iron is vitamin C, because vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron. The magic of adding tomatoes here lies in this. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and also contain lycopene which can fight aging and prevent cancer.

And then there is coriander, which is hot in nature and can be used to help sweat and expel moisture. So this soup is especially recommended. The combination of nutrients, meat and vegetables, can be said to be a perfect match.

Ingredients: fresh tomatoes and a pound of beef brisket, a little star anise, pepper, green onion, ginger and garlic.

practice:

1. First, cut the beef brisket and tomatoes into walnut-sized pieces for later use. There is no need to blanch the clean beef brisket. Use a little oil to stir-fry the star anise and Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant and then remove from the heat.

2. Add ginger, garlic slices and beef brisket and stir-fry until the surface of the beef brisket is slightly dry, then add cooking wine; stir-fry for a few more times, add boiling water, and simmer in the pot for one and a half hours.

3. Take out the stewed beef brisket and pour it into the wok, add the tomato cubes, simmer on low heat for 15 minutes to reduce the sauce, thicken with water starch and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

2. Mutton and Quail Soup

As the saying goes, "If you want to eat poultry, eat pigeons and quails." Quail meat is a typical high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol food, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people as well as patients with hypertension and obesity.

Quail is comparable to ginseng, the king of tonics, and is known as "animal ginseng". Mutton quail soup replenishes qi and blood, nourishes yin and strengthens yang. It is suitable for symptoms of qi and blood deficiency such as old age or after illness, blood deficiency, dizziness, thin body, sallow complexion, fatigue and exhaustion.

Ingredients: 1 quail, 200 grams of mutton, 50 grams of wheat kernels, appropriate amounts of ginger, cooking wine, and salt.

Preparation: Remove the hair and intestines of the quail and clean it. Cut the mutton into small pieces. Add water and bring to a boil, remove the foam, add wheat kernels, ginger, cooking wine, and salt, and simmer over low heat until the meat is cooked through.

The preparation methods of the above two ingredients are relatively simple, especially for men with insufficient qi and blood. Even people with normal body can strengthen their body by drinking them regularly. In fact, a good body does not need to be supplemented. As long as you pay attention to developing good living habits, drink plenty of water, and pay attention to a balanced diet, it will be beneficial to your health.
