Noodles can replenish qi deficiency, thicken the intestines and stomach, and strengthen strength; beef is sweet and warm, calms the middle and replenishes qi, nourishes the spleen and stomach, and has the effect of dispelling wind and cold. It is seasoned with raw onions, raw garlic, coriander, etc., and has a heavy flavor and high in oil, so it has the effect of nourishing yin and kidney, and strengthening the body. It is more suitable for people with weakness and asthma, and can play an anti-fatigue role. Therefore, winter is the best season to eat beef noodles.

Noodles have a long history in China. "Boiled cakes" in the Eastern Han Dynasty and "soup cakes" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were the original names for noodles. Noodles are not only an economical staple food that can fill you up, but also a delicacy that can be enjoyed in formal occasions. According to historical records, many dignitaries liked to eat noodles and used noodles to entertain guests.

2. Noodles are more nutritious for lunch

Noodles are rich in carbohydrates, which can provide sufficient energy. They also absorb a lot of water during the cooking process. 100 grams of noodles will become about 400 grams after being cooked, so they can produce a strong sense of fullness. In addition, noodles can stimulate people's thinking activities. The human brain and nervous system need a food that accounts for 50% of carbohydrates. Noodles are the food that the human brain needs. Durum wheat contains B vitamins, which stimulate brain cells, so eating a bowl of noodles with a reasonable nutritional balance at noon is a good choice. In the morning, you should eat foods high in protein, as eating noodles at night is not conducive to digestion and absorption.

3. Chewy noodles are nutritious

Generally speaking, noodles with a chewy texture contain more protein and can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. Noodles can be eaten cold or hot, but nutrition experts remind that noodles that are too hot can damage the esophagus, while noodles that are too cold are not conducive to digestion and absorption. Therefore, eating a bowl of warm noodles is most conducive to nutrient absorption.

4. “Original soup into original food” makes sense

There is a saying in traditional diet that "original soup turns into original food". People always drink some original soup after eating noodles, dumplings or Yuanxiao. From a nutritional point of view, this makes sense. When cooking starchy foods, the starch on their surface will scatter into the soup. When heated to 100°C, the starch granules will break down into dextrin, which can help digest food. Moreover, noodle soup contains digestive enzymes, which will not be destroyed during the cooking process and can also help digest food, so drinking the original soup can help reduce food accumulation.

In fact, they can choose noodles as staple food during menstruation. Noodles are easy to digest and contain protein, fat and carbohydrates.
