Lower Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a common problem among elderly folks. Once again, traditional Chinese soups offer the relief. When cooking up soups for diners with high blood pressure, be sure to reduce the amount of salt in the soup to make it healthier, while including ingredients such as wolfberry leaves, red dates, celery and spinach for added flavour.
Live Healthy, Eat Healthy
A diet that includes healthy traditional Chinese soups is just one part of a complete dietary and lifestyle change that must come about if you truly want to live healthy. If you have the time to chat with diners, share your knowledge of healthy eating. By showing that you care for their health with the food you serve, you will have them coming back to savour your dishes for many years to come.
Rejuvenate your energy
Chinese soups are well known for their “powers” of rejuvenation. Trusted for thousands of years, Chinese soups have been used as natural supplements to boost immune systems, ward of common ailments, as well as boost energy levels of active adults and even athletes.
The secret lies in the quality and potency of natural herbs used. Popular ingredients known to help boost energy levels include codonopsis root (commonly known as “dang shen”), Chinese wolfberry, citrus peel and cordyceps.
