1, increase appetite If you have a bad appetite, you can drink some ginger soup before meals, which will increase your appetite and promote nutrient absorption.
2. Prevention of air-conditioning diseases In the hot summer, many families and offices are air-conditioned. While enjoying the cool breeze, people are also prone to "air-conditioning diseases", which are often manifested as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, colds, waist and shoulder pain and other symptoms. Chinese medicine believes that ginger has three functions: sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, warming stomach and stopping vomiting, and detoxifying. People in air-conditioned environment often drink ginger soup, which can effectively prevent and treat "air-conditioned diseases". If you want to prevent "air conditioning disease", you can take some shredded ginger and soak it in water before going to work, so you don't have to worry about the invasion of "air conditioning disease". Friends who like tea can add some green tea, which is not only delicious, but also more beneficial to their health. To relieve "air-conditioning disease", ginger soup should not be too light or too strong, and drinking a bowl every day can play a role. You can also add a proper amount of brown sugar to ginger soup, because brown sugar has the functions of warming the middle warmer, soothing the liver, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating menstruation. Patients with severe symptoms can drink ginger soup as water.
3, treatment of abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, high temperature in midsummer, all kinds of bacteria are active, a little careless, it will be sick from the mouth, easy to cause acute gastrointestinal inflammation such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking some ginger soup properly can play a preventive role. Ginger can play the role of some antibiotics, especially against salmonella.
4. Treating colds and colds In summer, in order to avoid the heat, people are used to blowing fans, turning on air conditioners, and even sleeping outdoors, which can easily cause exogenous cold. If you can drink 1 bowl of brown sugar ginger soup in time, it will help to dispel cold and reduce fever, or you can get the same effect by soaking your feet with ginger soup (adding some salt and vinegar). However, for the wind-heat cold, the human body has already felt the heat evil. If we take warm ginger medicine at this time, it's like adding fuel to the fire, which is counterproductive. Therefore, the treatment of colds must be based on syndrome differentiation, and the method of "ginger soup covering sweat" cannot be used. The most important thing when catching a cold is to "eat according to your own constitution and time". Liao Guisheng, a Taiwanese doctor of traditional Chinese and western medicine who has studied dietotherapy, thinks that cold dietotherapy should change with the course of disease. Some foods are suitable for aftercare at ordinary times, but it is best not to eat when you are infected with inflammation or flu. Gingerol and gingerol in ginger can sweat and drive away accumulated heat in the body, especially ginger with less water, which can better promote blood circulation. Adding brown sugar can supplement calories. But ginger soup is only suitable for people with exogenous cold, not suitable for drinking. Moreover, ginger can promote blood circulation. If there is inflammation or bleeding, don't eat it. Some people think that you should eat more fruits during a cold. Liu Jianhui, a doctor at Tai 'an Hospital in Taiwan Province Province, said that it depends on personal circumstances. Eating more fruits can supplement vitamin C, but whether vitamin C can treat or prevent colds is still controversial. Moreover, fruit juice or fruit is mostly cold, which may cause bronchial contraction and aggravate cough. Except for fever, it is not suitable for eating during a cold. In particular, fruits with more water, such as watermelons and pears, are cooler. If you cough, have a runny nose, have loose bowels, and your hands and feet are cold, it is easier to make your condition worse. Inflammation or flu: pears, watermelons, sugar cane, coconut milk, onions, black bean soup, etc. Generally, when there are inflammatory reactions such as sore throat, runny nose or thick yellow sputum, fever and high fever, it is not advisable to take tonics, such as ginseng, angelica, astragalus and sesame oil, so as to avoid adding fuel to the fire and aggravating the condition. Chinese medicine believes that cold fruits such as watermelons and pears have antipyretic effects and can be used to "reduce fire". In addition, the onion and black bean soup recorded in ancient Chinese medicine books can not only relieve headache and stuffy nose, but also help people with fever. The practice is to take green onions and black beans to make soup. Scallion has the effect of sweating, in which malic acid and phosphoric acid can stimulate blood circulation, and the effect of sweating is faster than ginger soup; Fermented douchi can replenish protein in the body. 5, prevent colds white radish, tea white radish has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and diuretic effects, is a good natural anti-inflammatory drugs. In daily life, adding honey to raw radish juice can relieve sore throat after drinking. Recently, Harvard University in the United States also found in a study that people who drink five cups of black tea or green tea every day for two weeks will greatly enhance their immunity and can drive away more than 10 times of cold and influenza viruses than people who don't drink tea.
