Nutritional information:

White mushrooms: Rich in the trace element selenium, white mushrooms are an excellent food for selenium intake. A few hours after consuming white mushroom soup, the selenium content in the blood and the number of hemoglobin increase, while the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the blood significantly improves. This enzyme helps prevent oxidative damage to the body, reduces blood pressure and blood viscosity associated with selenium deficiency, regulates thyroid function, and boosts immunity. White mushrooms contain various antiviral components that are effective in aiding the treatment of virus-induced diseases. They are also a good food for weight loss and skin health. Their high content of dietary fiber helps prevent constipation, promotes detoxification, prevents diabetes and colorectal cancer, lowers cholesterol levels, and, being low in calories, helps prevent weight gain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that white mushrooms have a sweet taste and neutral nature, and offer benefits such as improving intestinal function, benefiting qi, cooling blood heat, relieving exterior symptoms, resolving phlegm, and regulating qi.

Lean pork: Pork is rich in high-quality protein and essential fatty acids, and provides heme iron (organic iron) and cysteine, which promote iron absorption, helping to improve iron-deficiency anemia. It has the effects of nourishing kidney and blood, and moisturizing yin and dryness. Compared to other parts of pork, lean pork contains more high-quality protein with less fat and cholesterol, making it suitable for moderate consumption by most people.
