Chinese soup: Is the nest still hot and sour? The benefits of Chinese soup

Many of us have heard of many famous Chinese soups, such as the Bird's Nest Soup and Hot and Sour Soup, and the interesting Buddha skipping the wall soup. Do you know that Chinese people use soup for medicinal and edible food? The Chinese believe in the balance of yin and yang or the natural cold and heat, which is the basis of Chinese soup.

In addition to the nutritional value of the food itself, the Chinese also use the medicinal properties of the ingredients in the soup to maintain good health, or to speed up the healing of these ingredients on the affected individual. Ideally, use fresh ingredients and, if possible, use the best quality. An example of a therapeutic soup is Bird's Nest soup. In Mandarin, this is called from

Hey me from

 Or literally means the swallow's nest.

These are edible nests for swallows or swallows. When mixed with water, the whitish nest becomes frozen and is believed to have many health benefits. Among the benefits are improved immune system and accelerated cell regeneration. Bird's nest prices can be as high as hundreds of dollars, but when consumed regularly, it is believed that by strengthening the immune system, strengthening the lungs and kidneys of men and improving the skin of women, children's resistance to disease can be improved. Others think it can help people with asthma.

At the same time, some soups are thought to treat colds and reduce fever. When a person has a fever, the Chinese think that drinking more Yin soup can lower the fever. When a cold is caught, he will get more yang soup to balance the lack of yang in the body. Examples of these soups include winter melon soup, which is used to cool the body, usually taken during the hot summer months. Chrysanthemum is also incorporated into food for the same purpose. In the cold months, ginseng and ginger may have been used to warm the body that may lack yang. Hot and sour soup is also said to be suitable for colds.

Many Chinese soups use herbs and plants with medicinal properties as ingredients. It is the balance of nutrients in these ingredients and other ingredients that bring us many benefits. As the Chinese think, all this is balancing the different elements of nature. If you don't feel well, why not take some Chinese soup to balance the things that bother you?
