Lotus Seed and Tremella Soup

Overview

I like to make soup with white fungus. I boil the soup until it is thick and it looks like it is full of collagen. When making white fungus soup in summer, it is best to pair it with lotus seeds, because summer is about nourishing the heart, and lotus seeds have a very good effect on nourishing the heart. Add a little less red dates, and the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing the heart will be stronger. Lotus seeds have high nutritional value and are rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates. Lotus seeds are very rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium. In addition to being components of bones and teeth, they also promote blood coagulation, activate certain enzymes, maintain nerve conductivity, calm nerves, maintain muscle flexibility and heartbeat rhythm. Abundant phosphorus is also the main component of nuclear proteins, helping the body to metabolize proteins, fats, and sugars, and maintain acid-base balance. It also plays an important role in the formation of sperm. Lotus seeds have the effect of nourishing the mind and calming the mind. Regular consumption by middle-aged and elderly people, especially mental workers, can strengthen the brain, enhance memory, improve work efficiency and prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. Lotus seed heart tastes extremely bitter, but it has a significant cardiotonic effect, can expand peripheral blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Lotus heart also has a very good effect in removing heart fire, treating sores in the mouth and tongue, and helping to sleep. Lotus seeds are beneficial to the heart and kidneys, strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea, and strengthen the essence and calm the mind.
