In today's "watermelon cup", two things that are very important for summer heat dissipation and health preservation are used-watermelon and astragalus.
watermelon. Sweet and juicy, refreshing and thirst quenching, it is truly worthy to be ranked first in the summer fruit and vegetable rankings. In addition to containing no fat and cholesterol, watermelon contains almost all kinds of nutrients required by the human body. It is nutritious and safe to eat.
Because watermelon is cold, there are people who are suitable for cold constitution and spleen and stomach deficiency. I have a cold physique. Even in such hot weather, I had diarrhea when I ate watermelon, which made me distressed until I got a recipe-boil water with watermelon rind after eating watermelon to prevent diarrhea. As the so-called "one thing drops one thing", haha.

Astragalus. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Astragalus can replenish the body's qi, and have the effects of promoting yang, consolidating the surface and antiperspirant, discharging pus, relieving swelling, and relieving fetus and replenishing blood. Take Astragalus soaked in water to drink, it can cure drowsiness, weakness and shortness of breath. In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is in the sky. I sweat every day, eat without appetite, and feel tired without doing anything. As the old saying goes, "One summer without disease, three points of deficiency" is a traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating qi, and Astragalus is definitely the first. Astragalus has become the most commonly used qi replenishing medicine because it is relatively mild, has a good effect, and has a stronger effect on fixing the surface. Astragalus also has the effect of dilating blood vessels and can lower blood pressure. Taking Astragalus for the elderly can prevent and treat stroke and high blood pressure. Young people eating astragalus can enhance their resistance, prevent colds, and have a weight-loss effect for puffy people.
Therefore, this "watermelon cup" is very helpful for nourishing the heart, spleen and qi in midsummer. "

Tips:

Tips: You don't need to add too much water in the watermelon cup, because the peel itself contains a lot of water, and the water in the peel penetrates into the chicken soup, making the taste more delicious and light.

Taste a bite of the melon-flavored and meaty broth, and taste the crystal-clear, tender and chewy chicken. It is not an exaggeration to use the phrase "refreshing and happy" here. I know at this time and do it. The two hours spent in the cup is really worth it. Haha
