I heard that many stars eat bird's nest for beauty. Does bird's nest really have the function of beauty? Are there any taboos? Can I eat? "Bird's nest is a very popular tonic in Xiamen. Only one store in Yanzhiwu can sell 200,000 yuan of bird's nest every month, and some people buy 30,000 to 40,000 yuan at a time. But there are also many people who are skeptical about its function and who is suitable for eating. Weng Lili, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Beauty of Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bird's nest is rich in collagen, which does have the effect of beauty and anti-aging, but it can only be effective if it is eaten for a long time. As for some people who eat it every day, Weng Lili thinks it is unnecessary. She said that once or twice a week, 5 grams at a time is enough.

Ke Liancai, chief physician of Chinese Medicine Department of Xiamen Institute of Medicine, said that bird's nest has the functions of nourishing yin and moistening lung, invigorating qi and tonifying middle warmer, preventing and treating cancer, lowering cholesterol and resisting aging, and is more suitable for people with yin deficiency constitution. It is not only food, but also has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect, but it can not be used as the main medicine and can not be treated only by bird's nest. Tuberculosis, cough due to yin deficiency, hemoptysis, night sweats due to yin deficiency, and phlegm asthma due to yin deficiency in the elderly. Just eat some bird's nest.

Not everyone is suitable for eating bird's nest. Ke Liancai said that people who have a cold, spleen and stomach deficiency, cold, dampness and heat, and people with excessive phlegm, yellow phlegm and stickiness are not suitable for eating bird's nest. After eating, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and damp heat often have yellow urine and can't pull out stool. Some people say that cancer patients can't eat bird's nest, but the Federation of Science and Technology says there is no such taboo.

Dr. Ke thinks it is necessary to analyze the statement that smokers eat more bird's nest. Although bird's nest is beneficial to smokers' damaged lungs, many smokers have too much phlegm and yellow phlegm, which is not suitable for eating.
