Alleviating the "new crown sequelae" dietary guidelines of the valley bean meat and eggs

In order to further improve the medical treatment of new coronavirus infection and effectively improve the level of standardized and homogeneous diagnosis and treatment, the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, according to the new coronavirus infection Class B tube and epidemic prevention and control measures to optimize and adjust the relevant requirements, combined with the characteristics of the Omicron variant and the disease characteristics of infected people, organized the revision of the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Trial Version 9)", and announced the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Novel Coronavirus Infection (Trial Version 10)" on January 6
。 Human infections are mainly manifested as cough, fever, sore throat, etc.
, and only a small number of infected people will progress to pneumonia
.
After the first batch of "Yangkang" patients, although the first symptoms such as fever, dry cough, sore throat and other symptoms have been relieved, but there are "new crown sequelae" such as loss of appetite, malaise, abdominal pain and diarrhea, is there a way to alleviate it? Foods such as cereals and beans, meat and eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc.
can be used to provide the human body with various nutrients needed in the form of diet to maintain good health, enhance resistance, and strengthen the defense capabilities of various organs and bodies of the human body to prevent "secondary infection" is particularly important
.

Cereals and legumes

millet

There has always been a grain with the good name of "grains, led by millet", which is called millet
after hulling.
Millet is rich in calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus and other trace elements, which play an indispensable role
in human growth and development and immune regulation.
At the same time, millet is rich in vitamin B1, which can not only regulate energy metabolism in the body, restore physical strength, reduce fatigue, but also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion, especially the digestion of carbohydrates, and enhance appetite
.
Studies have shown that millet polypeptides produced by hydrolyzed millet protein by alkaline protease have good antioxidant properties, can relieve fatigue and enhance the
body's immunity.

Recommended recipes: millet pumpkin porridge, millet sweet potato multigrain porridge, millet hair cake

corn

Corn is rich in protein, sugar, progesterone, glutathione, zeaxanthin, vitamin E, vitamin A, sitosterol, niacin, potassium, sodium, iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium
.
Among them, glutathione and zeaxanthin are special nutrients of corn, glutathione can scavenge free radicals in the body, strengthen the activity of the human immune system and improve the ability to
resist viruses.
Animal experiments have shown that zeaxanthin has obvious anti-inflammatory effects, which can significantly reduce the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α inflammatory factors in the prefrontal cortex, increase the autonomic mobility of rats, and then improve the state
due to anxiety, depression and fatigue.

Recommended recipes: boiled corn, corn rib soup, cornmeal steamed buns

buckwheat

Buckwheat mainly contains functional components
such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, polysaccharides, thiamine-binding proteins, resistant starches, and alkaloids.
Through mouse model experiments, the fatigue indexes of weight-bearing swimming time, liver glycogen and serum urea nitrogen after swimming were tested, and the results confirmed that buckwheat can prolong the maximum activity time of mice and have certain anti-fatigue effects
.
The small molecule antibacterial peptides in buckwheat have a certain inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis, and can regulate the number of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the intestine, so as to alleviate diarrhea caused by the late stage of the new crown to a certain extent
.

Recommended recipes: cold soba noodles, buckwheat tea, buckwheat cake

oats

Oats are rich in β-glucan, mainly distributed in the endosperm of oats and the cell wall of the paste powder layer of the endosperm, as a polysaccharide with immune-enhancing activity, which can improve the body's immunity and increase the ability to
resist viral and bacterial infections.
In addition, it also has the effect of regulating intestinal probiotics, which has a positive effect on promoting the proliferation of beneficial flora and the excretion of harmful substances in the intestine, and has a relatively obvious relief effect
on patients with long-term bloating, constipation or chronic diarrhea.

soybean

According to the data of the Market Nutrition Research Institute, the protein content of 1kg of soybeans is equivalent to the protein content of 2kg of lean pork and 3kg of eggs, and its protein content is the highest of all grains, known as "green dairy cow" and "plant meat"
.
Soybeans contain a variety of amino acids needed by the body, of which the proportion of lysine is large, which can significantly enhance human immunity, lack of lysine will significantly reduce immunity, resulting in influenza, viral flu and other colds as well as fatigue, weakness, malaise, etc
.

Recommended recipes: cold soybeans, soy milk, tofu brain, homemade tofu

Black beans

The nutritional components of black beans are mainly composed
of protein, amino acids, dietary fiber, polyphenols, anthocyanins, isoflavones and so on.
The content of branched-chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, Val) in black bean protein, especially leucine (Leu), is significantly higher than the WHO recommended value, branched-chain amino acids are easy to digest and have a high metabolic rate, can directly participate in energy metabolism, and provide energy to muscles, and have a certain anti-fatigue effect
.
The linoleic acid contained in black beans can play a very good anti-inflammatory effect
.

Recommended recipes: black beans soaked in vinegar, black bean cake, black bean jujube porridge

Meat and eggs

mutton

Lamb is made up of
protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, and water.
The content of copper, iron, zinc, calcium and phosphorus in lamb is higher than that of other meats, which has the effect
of maintaining the body's acid-base balance and water-electrolyte balance.
Lamb meat is tender and easy to be digested, eating more lamb can only improve physical fitness and improve disease resistance
.
Lamb is rich in vitamin A that increases the secretion of digestive enzymes, protects the stomach lining, and aids digestion
.

fish

Fish contains folic acid, vitamin B2, vitamin B12 and other vitamins, rich in magnesium, has a good protective effect on the cardiovascular system, to a certain extent can prevent the incidence
of heart disease and viral myocarditis caused by the new coronavirus.
The fat of fish is mainly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (eicosahexaenoic acid), linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which can not only prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also a typical representative food of low fat and high protein, especially suitable for elderly patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and obese people
.

.
Zinc and selenium in eggs have the effect
of promoting growth and development, improving immunity, and improving digestive function.
In addition, eggs contain immunoglobulin (IgY), long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, lysozyme, lecithin and other biologically active substances
.
Studies have shown that the use of IgY antibodies in the treatment of digestive infections reduces the use of
antibiotics.
