Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) health preservation emphasizes "adapting to the four seasons and supplementing according to the time." This book follows this guiding principle, selecting 300 beverage recipes and scientifically arranging them into eight categories based on the relationship between climate changes and human water and nutrient needs: Spring Dryness, Summer Heat, Autumn Coolness, Winter Cold, All Seasons, Beauty Nourishment, Physical Strengthening, and Disease Prevention. The recipes cover 12 types, including dairy products, fruit and vegetable juices, sodas, colas, health teas, and medicinal wines. The selected recipes prioritize easily obtainable ingredients and simple preparation methods, making them suitable for home use. For recipes with medicinal functions, the focus is on pharmacological effects and therapeutic benefits. At the end of the book, there is a brief introduction to the properties of common foods and traditional Chinese herbal medicines.
