Eating chicken has no harm to the general health of people, only benefits. The benefits of eating chicken: From a nutritional perspective, chicken meat is rich in protein (especially in male chicken meat), as well as important nutrients such as fat, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The nutritional value of chicken meat is significantly better than that of meat products such as pork, beef, and lamb. Therefore, people have always regarded chicken as a premium supplement for those who are sick, and even eating a certain amount of chicken in daily life is very beneficial to our body.
1. Chicken has many therapeutic effects. Firstly, it can nourish essence and marrow, providing great nourishment after fatigue. At the same time, it is also very beneficial for our five organs. For those who are physically weak, often feel tired and dizzy, using chicken as a dietary therapy is a great way. Some male friends may suffer from insufficient kidney function due to overwork, which can lead to prostate problems and symptoms of hearing loss. Eating more chicken can help alleviate these symptoms after discovering them.
2. In modern nutrition, there is a distinction between red meat and white meat. For example, meat such as pigs, cows, and sheep belong to red meat, while poultry and seafood belong to white meat. Compared to red meat, white meat has higher nutritional value. Chicken can be considered a representative of white meat. Chicken contains a very rich amount of taurine, which can enhance the body's digestive ability, have antioxidant and detoxifying effects, and also have very good effects on enhancing the body's immunity.
3. Modern nutrition still believes that although they are all chicken, the nutritional value of chicken varies regardless of its differences. For example, chicken breast meat has a relatively low fat content and a high vitamin content. Eating chicken breast meat regularly is beneficial for reducing cholesterol. And chicken wings have a high fat content, so if you want to motivate yourself to lose weight, you shouldn't eat them. People with high cholesterol can eat chicken breast meat, but never chicken liver, because the cholesterol content of chicken liver is very high.
In ancient times, in the imperial palace, due to the prohibition of raising chickens, a special type of official called "Chicken Man" was set up to replace chickens in telling the time, which evolved into a night watchman shouting "Be careful of fire and candles when the weather is dry" on the streets at night.
Another important reason why Chinese people have a special preference for chickens is that they use them for medicinal purposes. When talking about Wuji Baifeng Pill, female friends will not feel strange. When three or four women gather together to do household chores, they will be advised to use Wuji Baifeng Pill to treat anyone who has excessive leucorrhea, irregular menstruation, or even who has spots on his face and is weak and sickly. What is the main ingredient of this Wuji Baifeng Pill? It's our chicken, one is black chicken, and the other is white chicken.
Why chickens have a nourishing effect is mainly reflected in the aspect of replenishing liver blood. In traditional Chinese medicine, chicken meat enters the liver meridian and therefore has the function of nourishing liver blood. During vaginal delivery, women will produce a lot of blood, and the liver is an organ that stores blood. At this time, stewing some chicken soup can achieve the effect of nourishing liver blood.
In addition, chicken can also be consumed as a winter warming supplement.
Because the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon believes that chickens have the properties of being spicy and warm. You see, the rooster starts crowing around 5 o'clock in the morning, which is the hour of Yin and the time when the Qi of Shaoyang reigns supreme. At this time, when the chicken crows at the right time, it indicates that the chicken is also a body with low yang. Therefore, the chicken also has a certain effect of warming and tonifying yang, which can supplement the energy loss of the human body. Therefore, it can be used as a winter supplement for the elderly, weak, chronically ill, and postpartum loss. Especially for those with severe stomach cold and those who are not being supplemented, supplementing chicken meat can not only nourish qi and blood, but also treat deficiency and dispel cold.
Although chickens are all spicy and enter the lungs, the yellow color of yellow chickens tends to enter the spleen, while the black color of black chickens tends to enter the kidneys. Therefore, the functions of different chickens are different: generally, they have insufficient qi and blood, weak constitution, or postpartum women with significant qi and blood deficiency and insufficient strength. If you want to nourish your body and produce more milk, you need to use yellow chickens to supplement; Some girls, due to kidney yang deficiency, experience "palace cold" symptoms such as late menstruation, low menstrual flow, or dysmenorrhea, and use black chicken to supplement. There is a traditional Chinese medicine called Wuji Baifeng Wan, which specializes in treating "palace cold".
In addition, when supplementing chicken meat, attention should be paid to the differences in sexual function between males and females: male chicken meat belongs to the yang gender and has a strong warming and nourishing effect, making it more suitable for patients with yang deficiency and weak qi to consume; Female chicken meat belongs to the Yin family and is more suitable for consumption by postpartum women, elderly and weak individuals, and those with chronic illnesses and physical weakness.
In addition to chicken, chicken also has an important medicinal part - chicken internal gold. In terms of digestion and accumulation, it has good efficacy. For those who feel bloated, blocked, or have undigested food in their stool after meals, taking stir fried chicken powder can alleviate discomfort.
In fact, traditional Chinese medicine has always had the saying of "using organs to supplement organs" regarding the medicinal effects of animal meat consumption, that is, using the organs of animals that are deficient to supplement them. The strong digestive effect of chicken internal gold can be seen from the lifestyle and dietary habits of chickens. Chickens do not have teeth and do not have digestive fluids in their mouths, so their diet consists of swallowing whole grains of rice, grass leaves, or sand. However, chickens do not suffer from indigestion due to this. There are rarely undigested whole grains of rice in chicken feces, indicating that chickens have strong digestive abilities in their lower digestive organs, which are all carried out within the chicken. Modern research shows that chicken internal gold contains a large amount of digestive enzymes that can help break down cereal foods. Therefore, for people with indigestion, swallowing chicken internal gold powder has a good therapeutic effect.
In addition, chickens can also be used for testing toxic gases.
In the Gulf War, multinational forces deployed a large number of live chickens to verify the presence of toxic gases in the air based on their performance, in order to correct potential equipment errors. A hundred years ago, when coal mines were just being mined, miners would bring roosters down the well and encounter gas. The roosters would crow and call the police. This is because chickens are much more sensitive to harmful gases than humans.
It is precisely because chickens have so many benefits that they have won the praise of the leader of the feathered tribe. If you also need to supplement and your physical condition allows, you may choose our chicken as a supplement.
