The lotus root is the most tonic in autumn, and the weather becomes dry in autumn. Therefore, people mainly rely on foods that nourish yin, clear heat, moisturize dryness, quench thirst, and calm the mind. Lotus root is one of the best tonic products in season. Fresh lotus root is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and many vitamins. The lotus root is cold in nature when eaten raw and warm in nature when it is cooked. It has the effects of invigorating the spleen and appetizing, replenishing Qi and blood. Chestnuts are difficult to digest when eaten raw, and they are easy to stagnate when eaten cooked, so it is not advisable to eat too much at one time. Chestnuts can supply the human body with more heat energy, ensure the body's basic nutrient supply, and have the effect of invigorating the qi and invigorating the spleen.
