Spring is the season when all things grow and renew. In the "Huangdi Neijing Suwen", it is written: "The three months of spring, this is called 'Fa Chen', heaven and earth are both alive, and all things flourish." In early spring, the temperature is still relatively cold, and the human body consumes a certain amount of energy to keep warm and maintain its foundation. Therefore, the nutritional composition during the early spring should be mainly high-calorie. In addition to grains, foods such as soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts, and walnuts should also be selected to replenish energy substances in time. Due to the stimulation of the cold, the decomposition of protein in the body can accelerate, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance and causing illness. Therefore, high-quality protein foods need to be supplemented during the early spring, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat, and bean products. These foods contain abundant methionine, which has the function of enhancing the body's cold resistance.
