"A kilo of ginger, 500 grams of dates, two white salts, three grasses, one or two lilacs and beeswax, and four or two eggplants are fragrant. Whether fried or boiled, this medicine is better than Bao. Have a drink every morning and you will be young and never old. " Song Fangzi, a "miracle effect" in ancient medical books, takes ginger as the main medicine and 35 yuan every time, so it has a unique effect of delaying aging and keeping young. Let's follow and find out!
As early as late autumn and early spring, Mencius, a former teacher, had learned that taking ginger could delay aging. In his later years, he often said, "Where there is food, there must be ginger." "No ginger food, very little food." It means that you can't eat ginger all year round, but you shouldn't eat more every time. Mencius lived to be over 73 years old during the turbulent period of war, and his average life span was very short, which was related to his great attention to health preservation and frequent eating of ginger.
Indeed, ginger is not only a high-quality condiment in dishes, but also a panacea for avoiding evil spirits. Modern medical scientific research also shows that ginger has the functions of eliminating dampness, dispelling cold, sweating, invigorating stomach, promoting digestion, stopping vomiting and improving metabolism. Therefore, regular consumption of ginger can benefit the stomach, sweat and tonify deficiency, stop vomiting, dispel cold and relieve cough, and resolve phlegm. Blindly ginger, rubbing your tongue can stop vomiting; Soaking ginger sugar soup can treat the first cold; Adding pure honey can treat cough with excessive phlegm. There is an old saying in Guangdong folk custom that "if you eat ginger early, you will be jealous later, and all diseases can be cured". Therefore, pregnant women often use black vinegar and ginger to nourish their health, strengthen their babies and eliminate diseases.
Eating ginger in summer is more conducive to physical and mental health. Because ginger is a kind of warm and spicy food, it has the effects of warming channels and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, sweating and so on.
The anti-aging effect of ginger has been confirmed by contemporary pharmacological experiments. Ginger contains an organic substance similar to salicylic acid, which is equal to blood night's paint thinner and anticoagulant. Mainly used for reducing blood fat, reducing blood fat and preventing myocardial infarction. In addition, gingerol in ginger has a strong cholagogic effect and can prevent cholecystitis and gallstones. Contemporary clinical experiments have also confirmed that ginger has the function of regulating male prostate, and prostaglandin plays a key role in manipulating blood viscosity and coagulation level.
The new scientific research results also show that regular consumption of ginger can remove "body rust": the "senile plaque" on the epidermis of the elderly is the "rust mark" left on the skin by free radicals, and it will also produce similar "body rust" when it acts on various internal organs. Excessive free radical activity in the body will lead to aging. If you want to prevent aging and prolong life, you must immediately remove free radicals from your body. Ginger contains many active ingredients, among which gingerol has a strong ability to deal with free radicals.
Ginger contains many active ingredients, among which gingerol has a strong practical effect of weakening free radicals. It can accelerate the deep skin repair and improve the acne marks on the skin surface, so ginger is always mentioned in the way of removing acne marks. However, removing acne marks with ginger slices is quite harmful and not suitable for everyone. Patients need to apply it according to their own basic theoretical conditions. Suppose there is a scene of skin allergy when removing acne marks with ginger slices, that is, the food that can remove spots immediately. Regular consumption can eliminate the spots on people's faces, which is closely related to various effective components contained in ginger. Pigment spots on human face are closely related to free radicals, which will accelerate the embrittlement of skin, lead to excess pigment metabolism, make the face calm and form pigment spots. The active ingredients in ginger can effectively inhibit the production of free radicals.
Because of this, there is no doubt that ginger can prolong life, beautify and protect skin, but it is not advisable to take too much ginger at one time, because many gingerols will have an effect on the kidney during the whole process of renal function metabolism after being digested and absorbed by the digestive system, and will also cause dry mouth, sore throat, severe constipation and other "easy to get angry" diseases.
