As the saying goes: "On October 1st, when the solstice of winter comes, every family eats jiaozi."
According to legend, when Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, retired in his later years, he saw the frozen people and wrapped mutton, some cold-dispelling herbs and dough into the shape of ears to make a medicine called "cold-dispelling and charming ear soup" for the people to eat. After eating the cold-dispelling soup, people are hot, their blood is smooth, and their ears are warm.
People eat from the solstice of winter to New Year's Eve, fighting typhoid fever and curing frozen ears.
Later, on the solstice of winter, people imitated eating and formed a custom.
Jiaozi is a nutritious food, but do you know how to eat jiaozi healthily?

1. Vinegar: Vinegar has a good health preserving effect, which can help lower blood lipid and blood pressure. Jiaozi dipped in vinegar can also play the role of seasoning to relieve boredom, but people with gastric ulcer or hyperacidity are not suitable for jealousy, so as not to increase gastric acid, stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa and aggravate ulcers.
2. Soy sauce: In addition, some friends are used to dipping in soy sauce when eating jiaozi, which is unhealthy. Adding soy sauce will make people eat more salt, which is not conducive to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
3, Chili oil: Although Chili can stimulate fever, it is spicy and irritating, not suitable for cold and dry winter, nor for people with yin deficiency.
4. Raw garlic: Although jiaozi with raw garlic cloves is a kind of enjoyment, it is also a spicy product. For friends with stomach problems, it is better to eat less.
Jiaozi soup is a hot soup with starch dissolved, which can promote the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, thus helping digestion. But drinking soup after meals will inevitably lead to overeating, so you can drink soup before meals, just a small bowl; If you feel full after eating jiaozi, you don't need to drink soup, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and lead to fullness and discomfort.
Jiaozi is not a particularly digestible food. You don't have to worry about lying or sitting after eating hot jiaozi. Standing for a while or walking slowly is helpful to the digestion of gastrointestinal tract.
Happy winter solstice, eat jiaozi healthily! I wish everyone a happy winter solstice!
