Today, I will introduce to everyone how to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through dietary methods. The specific approach is as follows: 7 grams of black fungus and 10 slices of ginger. Every morning, first soak the black fungus in cold water for 10 minutes, wash away impurities, then place it in a teacup with the prepared ginger slices, and pour boiling water over them. After it cools slightly, drink it. Once the water in the cup is finished, continue to add boiling water and drink as needed throughout the day. When making dinner every day, use the black fungus from that day to stir-fry dishes or make a lean meat soup.
Since both ginger and black fungus are commonly used foods, among them, ginger has a pungent taste and warm nature, with effects such as inducing sweating to dispel cold, harmonizing the stomach to stop vomiting, and warming the lungs to stop coughing. It is often used for conditions like wind-cold感冒, cold stomach vomiting, and cold phlegm cough. Modern medical research has proven that ginger has antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antitussive, expectorant, cholagogic, and promoting gastric juice secretion effects; black fungus has a sweet taste and neutral nature, with functions such as replenishing blood and qi, moistening the lungs, and stopping bleeding. Modern medical research has proven that black fungus has antioxidant, lipid-regulating, vasodilating, and hemostatic effects.
Drinking a mixture of these two foods regularly can help to moisten the intestines, promote bowel movements, invigorate qi, ventilate the lungs, and clear ascension while lowering turbidity. It has certain therapeutic and health-preserving effects on conditions such as abnormal lipids, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and constipation, and there are no obvious side effects, making it an excellent home health tea.
In addition, I would also recommend a classic dietary therapy recipe for preventing cardiovascular disease — Black Fungus Lean Pork Soup. The method is as follows: 10 grams of black fungus, 100 grams of lean pork, 3 slices of ginger, and 5 red dates. Cook them together until they are done, season with a little salt, eat the meat and drink the soup. Eating this for 45 consecutive days each winter can yield results.
