Ginger in the eyes of Chinese medicine

Chinese medicine believes that ginger can stop vomiting, relieve exterior syndrome and dispel cold. Modern pharmacological research shows that ginger also contains phytoncide, which is no less bactericidal than onion and garlic. Gingerol in ginger can stimulate gastric juice secretion and promote digestion; It also contains more volatile oil, which can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by human body and prevent the accumulation of cholesterol in liver and serum.

The best time to eat ginger is in the morning. When people are in the morning, the gas in their stomachs needs to rise. Eating ginger can strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, paving the way for a day's digestion and absorption. Moreover, the volatile oil in ginger can accelerate blood circulation, excite nerves and make the whole body warm.

In winter morning, eating ginger properly can dispel cold and prevent colds. At night, the human body should have a convergence of yang and exuberant yin, so it is better to eat foods that clear away heat and help digestion, such as radishes.

The pungent smell of ginger will affect people's normal rest at night, and eating spicy ginger at night is also prone to get angry. After a long time, there will be symptoms of "getting angry". It's a bit exaggerated to say it's like arsenic, but it's really bad for your health.

It should be noted that ginger is warm, and excessive consumption will hurt yin and help yang, and those with yin deficiency and excessive fire should not eat more. I especially remind everyone not to eat rotten ginger, which contains the toxic substance safrole, which can induce liver cancer and esophageal cancer.
