It might not be easy to get our hands on the ingredients, but as long as we pay attention to the nature of the ingredients, we will still be able to make healthy and tasty soups! 💪🏻 ”I recently moved to Los Angeles, which has sunny weather that makes me feel hot all the time. Do you have any soup to recommend?” CheckCheckCin: People often regard the sunny sky as good weather, but it could be a problem when heat accumulates and becomes a pathogenic factor. According to Chinese Medicine theories, the pathogenic factor can invade the body and exhaust the yin, and this is why we experience dry mouth and sore throat easily. When the body cannot dissipate heat on time, yin-yang balance is disrupted, causing us to develop a heatstroke. Therefore, individuals who live in dry and warm areas should consume soups and vegetables that are cool in nature such as tomato, celery, green/white radish, Chinese cabbage, not forgetting mung beans, which can relieve the summer-heat and clear toxins from the body.

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder, and its patients are unable to produce sufficient hemoglobin for the body, causing them to suffer from various degrees of anemia. Patients with thalassemia major have to go for blood transfusion regularly; those with thalassemia intermedia might have a swollen spleen. If need be, they might have to remove the spleen and take Deferasirox (an iron chelator used to treat chronic iron overload); thalassemia minor sufferers might not exhibit any symptoms, but they would feel exhausted easily due to anemia. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, though this genetic disorder is irreversible, there are ways to relieve the symptoms. Anemia is a type of blood deficiency, so the plan should focus on nourishing the qi and the blood and regulating the spleen and kidneys. Individuals with blood deficiency-related symptoms such as dizziness and palpitation, pale face and lips, and dry skin should drink soups that can replenish the qi and nourish the blood. If the condition persists, consult registered and licensed Chinese physicians. Tips on ingredient: Red beans are mild in nature and can replenish blood and stomach. Relieves symptoms of lack of concentration, asthenic qi and blood. Suitable for all body types. Pumpkin and red bean soup with cashew Effects: Nourishes the blood, strengthens the body.
