The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a nutritional composition for moisturizing lung and a method for preparing the same.
Fast-pace and high-intensity work, deliberate competition, ceaseless stress, long-term metal strain and so on are heavy burdens for people in modern society. Moreover, when reaching middle ages, people's physiological functions decline, and many people develop syndromes belonging to kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medical science, such as pains in waist and back, tinnitus, dizziness, pale facial complexion, declined physical functions, cold extremities, mental fatigue, and sleeping disorder, all of which further form invisible metal stress, and seriously affect the life quality. Traditional Chinese medical science holds that the lung governs qi (vital energy), which generally means that the lung governs both breathing air and all the qi of the body. “The lung stores the spirit, has the attribute of gold, and governs all the qi of the body” (“Zhou Shi Yi Xue Cong Shu⋅Zang Fu Biao Ben Yao Shi (Collections of Writings on Medicine of Mr. Zhou⋅Medication Based on Conditions of the Zang-fu Organs, Symptom and Root, Cold and Heat, Deficiency)”). All the qi of the human body is governed by the lung, therefore, “all the qi pertains to the lung” (“Su Wen⋅Wu Zang Sheng Cheng Lun (Basic Questions⋅Discourse on the Creation and Formation of the Five Zang-Organs)”), “the lung governs all the qi of the body” (“Yi Men Fa Lv⋅Ming Xiong Zhong Da Qi Zhi Fa (Laws for Physicians⋅Methods for Understanding Air in Chest)”). The lung governing qi includes two aspects, i.e. governing the breathing air and governing all the qi of the body.
The lung is a place where qi in vivo and in vitro exchange. The lung breathes in clear qi in the nature, and breathes out foul qi in the body, realizing the exchange of air in vivo and in vitro. By continuously breathing out the foul air and breathing in the clear air, and getting rid of the stale and taking in the fresh, the generation of qi is promoted, and the up and down, and in and out movements of qi are regulated, so that the metabolism of the human body is ensured to carry out normally. In the traditional medicines of more than 5000 years of the Chinese nation, some natural plant drugs indeed have curative effects in repairing and improving the lung functions. The invaluable experience, handed down from generation to generation, upon continuous application, development, and perfection of medical experts and health experts of successive dynasties, has become a type of unique natural plant drug (Chinese herbal medicine for moisturizing the lung) with the nourishing and strengthening efficacies. However, every medicine has its side effect, and long-term consumption of a lot of Chinese herbal medicine inevitably will cause damages to other aspects of the body.
On the basis of dietotherapy (homology between medicine and food) regimen of the traditional Chinese medical science, more and more dieticians reasonably match food materials with the homology between medicine and food, and achieve the object of nourishing yin and moisturizing the lung through the function of channel tropism of the food materials' four natures and five tastes.

3. Statistical method
Experiment results are expressed by x±SD, normal distribution data is checked with t, and skewed distribution is checked with a sum of ranks.
4. Experiment method
80 mice were selected, 40 females and 40 males, and randomly divided into 8 groups according to sex and body weight, i.e. one control group, and seven test groups. Except the control group, the mice in the other groups were administrated by gavage with the nutritional compositions of Examples 1 to 7 according to the dosage of 0.2 g/kg each time, three times a day, continuously for 14 d, and the mice in the control group were fed with an equal amount of rice.

Cough incubation periods and coughing times of the mice within 3 minutes were observed and recorded for the mice in each group (typical cough refers to contraction of abdominal muscle of the mice, while opening mouth wide, accompanied with cough sound). Analysis and statistics of the experiment data was made with variance. Experiment results are shown in Table 3.
As can be seen from Table 3, compared with the control group, the cough incubation periods corresponding to the nutritional compositions for moisturizing lung in Examples 1 to 7 have extremely significant differences (p<0.01), compared with the control group, the coughing times within 3 minutes corresponding to the nutritional compositions for moisturizing lung in Examples 1 to 7 have extremely significant differences (p<0.01), indicating that the nutritional compositions of the present disclosure can obviously prolong the cough incubation period of the mice induced by aqua ammonia and reduce the coughing times, and showing that the present nutritional compositions have obvious functions of moisturizing the lung and relieving the cough.
Besides, as can be seen from comparison of Examples 1 to 5, with the same raw materials and the only difference in compatible proportion, among the five examples, Example 5 has the longest cough incubation period and the least coughing times within 3 minutes, indicating that the nutritional composition of Example 5 has the most obvious effect of relieving the cough, and that it is an optimal example. As can be seen from comparison of Examples 5 to 7, compared with Example 5, the Chinese herbal medicine extract is added to Examples 6 and 7, the cough incubation periods of Examples 6 and 7 are longer than Example 5, and the coughing times within 3 minutes of Examples 6 and 7 are less than Example 5, indicating that the addition of the Chinese herbal medicine extract can further enhance the effect of the nutritional composition in relieving the cough.
The foregoing only describes preferred examples of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For a person skilled in the art, various modifications and variations may be made to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
