Why do you want to eat chicken in the Millennium solar terms?

The reason why we eat chicken in the Millennium Festival is that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the vegetation condenses into white dew in the morning. At this time, the human body needs "tonic". For the general public, simple and practical dietotherapy is more acceptable. In Chongming, there is a custom of "eating chicken with white dew". With the arrival of the Millennium solar terms, the temperature dropped rapidly, and many places began to enter the rainy weather mode. At this time, the health care of human body should follow the principles of nourishing yin and benefiting qi and preventing autumn dryness. Green tea, rice wine, longan and sweet potato are all suitable foods, and delicious white deer chicken is even more essential. The Millennium is the flu season. For healthy people, drinking more chicken soup can improve immunity and keep the flu virus out of the cabinet. For those patients who have been infected by influenza virus, drinking more chicken soup can help relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and cough caused by colds.
