Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black food can nourish the kidneys, but whether any food is nourishing or not depends on the properties of the food.
1. Black rice and black-bone chicken are warm in nature, and have obvious effects on nourishing blood and kidneys;
2. Black sesame seeds are neutral in nature, nourishing kidneys and liver, moisturizing intestines and nourishing hair;
3. Black beans are neutral in nature, nourish the kidneys, activate blood circulation, and detoxify;
4. Black fungus is cold in nature, while kelp and seaweed are cold in nature. You can eat it frequently in summer, but try not to eat it in winter.
Whether any food is supplementary or not depends on the properties of the food. Foods that are neutral in nature and warm in nature are beneficial to the body all year round; foods that are cool in nature and cold in nature should be avoided in other seasons except summer. If you must eat them, they should be combined with warm ginger. Chili peppers, peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns are paired together, so that the unique nutrients of these foods can be absorbed without damaging the kidneys and stomach.
