For women over forty, various health problems, both major and minor, begin to emerge, with psychological health concerns being particularly prevalent.

So, what foods are suitable for women in their forties to nourish their bodies? Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner Peng Minghui points out that women in this stage often experience "Yin deficiency," meaning insufficient Yin fluid in the body. From the perspective of the meridian system in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the gallbladder meridian is active from 11 PM to 1 AM, while the liver meridian is active from 1 AM to 3 AM. The gallbladder and liver are responsible for key functions such as metabolism and toxin elimination in the body. Therefore, maintaining good sleep between 11 PM and 3 AM not only helps nourish Yin fluid but also promotes healthy skin. At the same time, women's menstrual processes, childbirth, and breastfeeding all consume blood and Qi. Nourishing the gallbladder and liver can indirectly help the body nourish blood and maintain a balance of Qi and blood. It is worth noting that women in this stage should try to avoid spicy, fried, and greasy foods to avoid burdening the body and affecting the health benefits.

Regarding specific dietary therapy plans, Dr. Peng Minghui emphasized that dietary supplements should follow the principle of "treating cold with heat and heat with cold," choosing appropriate supplements based on individual constitution. Given that women over forty generally prioritize "yin nourishment" for health maintenance, she recommends a "Two-Ingredient Black Bean and Polygonatum Porridge." This porridge is easy to prepare; simply prepare five qian each of privet fruit, eclipta prostrata, and polygonatum, two liang each of black beans and rice, and add a small amount of rock sugar to cook into a porridge. In terms of efficacy, this porridge not only nourishes yin and kidneys but also helps strengthen bones and nourish hair, making it especially suitable for women who sweat easily at night. However, it should be noted that women with loose stools (i.e., soft, unformed stools) or those currently suffering from a cold should consume it with caution to avoid discomfort due to incompatibility.
