What are the five red soups?

　　1.Red dates

　　Red dates are one of the core ingredients of Wuhong Tang. They are warm in nature and sweet in taste. They are rich in iron, vitamin C and a variety of amino acids. They can not only replenish qi, nourish blood and calm the mind, but also provide raw materials for hematopoiesis. After removing the core, they are easier to taste and stewed to avoid the feeling of heat. They are the key ingredients for nourishing blood.

　　2.Red beans

　　Red beans are sweet and sour in nature, and are rich in nutrients such as iron, potassium, and dietary fiber. They can dilute water and reduce swelling, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and can also supplement hematopoietic raw materials. Soak them in advance for 2 hours and then stew them. The taste will be softer and waxier, and they can be easily digested and absorbed by the human body, enhancing the nourishing effect of the soup.

　　3.Peanuts

　　Peanuts (red-coated ones are better) are flat in nature and sweet in taste. They are rich in high-quality protein, iron and unsaturated fatty acids. The coagulation factors contained in the red coating can help stop bleeding. Peanuts themselves can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and nourish blood. When paired with other ingredients, they can improve the nutritional density and taste of soups.

　　4. Wolfberry

　　Wolfberry is mild in nature and sweet in taste. It is rich in vitamin C, carotene, wolfberry polysaccharide and other ingredients. Vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can nourish the liver and kidneys, improve eyesight and improve eyesight. Adding it to the soup can not only enhance the blood-tonifying effect, but also neutralize some of the warmth, making the soup milder in nature.

　　5. Brown sugar

　　Brown sugar is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It contains nutrients such as sucrose, iron, and calcium. It can nourish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, and relieve pain. It is the core flavoring of Wuhong Tang. It can not only increase the sweetness of the soup, but also supplement a small amount of hematopoietic elements. It can also alleviate the cold nature of other ingredients, making the nourishment more gentle.

Taboo groups for Wuhong Tang

　　1. People with hot and dry constitutions and those prone to getting angry

　　Wuhong Tang is generally warm. For those with dry and hot constitutions (who often suffer from dry mouth, sore throat, constipation, acne and other symptoms), excessive consumption will aggravate the symptoms of internal heat. It is recommended to reduce the amount of brown sugar, or to neutralize it with cool ingredients such as chrysanthemums and honeysuckle. It should be consumed no more than 3 times a week to avoid accumulation of dryness and heat.

　　2. People with diabetes and high blood sugar

　　Brown sugar contains more sucrose, and red beans and red dates also contain a certain amount of sugar. People with diabetes or those with high blood sugar can easily cause blood sugar fluctuations after eating it. The dosage needs to be strictly controlled. Brown sugar can be replaced with sugar substitutes such as stevia. Each consumption should not exceed 200 ml, and blood sugar changes need to be monitored.

　　3. People with spleen and stomach deficiency, prone to diarrhea and allergies

　　If the spleen and stomach are deficient and prone to diarrhea, excessive consumption of wolfberry may aggravate diarrhea. You need to reduce the amount of wolfberry or add ginger to neutralize it.； Those who are allergic to red dates, peanuts and other food must be completely contraindicated to avoid allergic reactions such as skin itching and vomiting. ； Pregnant and lactating women are advised to consult a doctor before consumption to ensure safety.

　　It is recommended to drink 2-3 times a week, a small bowl each time. Ingredients can be soaked in advance to cook them softer. ； You can also use a wall-breaking machine to make it into a paste, which is easier to absorb.

Wuhong Decoction is a gentle therapeutic formula, suitable for people with weak colds and insufficient Qi and blood as a daily treatment, but it is not a "universal soup". If you have severe anemia or other diseases, you should seek medical treatment promptly and do not rely on dietary therapy as an alternative treatment.
