Classic Chinese medicine: Doing it once a week can actually strengthen joints and bones

Old people often say: When you get old, you get sick and can’t walk anymore. Inability to walk is related to aging, but the main reason is a disease - knee arthritis!

Knee arthritis

The pain is unbearable only you know

1. Pain

The biggest characteristic of knee arthritis is pain, which worsens with activity and eases with rest. However, the pain will worsen after sprains, colds, and overwork, and the legs may even become unable to move freely.

2. Redness and swelling

Synovial hyperplasia and effusion in the knee joint can cause joint redness and swelling. In the early stages, joint redness and swelling may be caused by cold or trauma, and in the later stages, the knee joint will experience long-term swelling.

3. There is sound

Most people with knee arthritis will experience a clicking sound when walking. During walking or standing, the joints may seem stuck, and you need to try to bend or move the joints until you hear a clicking sound before you can move freely.

4. "Weak Legs"

Weak legs refers to the phenomenon of weak knees while walking, even kneeling or falling, accompanied by severe pain. In addition, sitting for a long time will cause the joints to become "stuck", making it impossible for the legs to move immediately.

5. Other manifestations

The cartilage of the knee joint is destroyed and the synovium proliferates, resulting in the inability to fully extend or bend the knee joint, squat, or lift heavy objects. As knee arthritis progresses, the joint may become thicker and the legs may become deformed (X or O-shaped legs).

Ginger Stewed Chicken

★ Activate blood circulation and strengthen bones and muscles★

chicken

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chicken has the effects of warming the middle and replenishing qi, replenishing deficiency and filling essence, strengthening the spleen and stomach, activating blood circulation, and strengthening tendons and bones.

Ginger

Ginger is pungent and warming, and can invigorate blood circulation and dispel cold. Danish biochemist Morten Weidner has also conducted research showing that ginger has significant effects on joint pain.

Therefore, you can use ginger to stew chicken to nourish our joints and bones, promote blood circulation, dispel cold and relieve pain. It can be used for people with bone pain, joint pain caused by wind and cold, and those who like warmth and are afraid of cold.

Ingredients: 1 freshly crowed rooster, 100-250 grams of ginger, oil, salt, and Shaoxing wine.

Method: Cut the chicken and ginger into small pieces, add oil to the pan, stir-fry the chicken and ginger after the oil is hot, add Shaoxing wine and simmer for 10 minutes, add salt when out of the pan, and eat within 1 day, and can be eaten once every 1 week or half a month.

This is a medicated diet that embodies the classics of traditional Chinese medicine. Eating it once a week can not only nourish our knee joints to fight arthritis, but also remove all kinds of cold, dampness and blood stasis that are harmful to the knee joints.
