Recently, the research results of scientists on onion, ginger and garlic show that these three common condiments can not only enhance the flavor and taste of dishes, but also have many benefits to human health.
First, onions.
Scientific research has proved that onion contains a large amount of "allyl disulfide", which has a strong bactericidal effect and has a very obvious bactericidal effect on a variety of pathogenic bacteria such as Shigella dysenteriae and Staphylococcus. Onions also have an excellent effect of helping the human body to dispel cold and sweat.
In addition, onion leaves can help people urinate, and onion juice has a certain detoxification effect, which can also make people more energetic, strengthen digestion and obedience, and make people defecate more smoothly. In traditional Chinese medicine, onion can also relieve and treat some human diseases, such as stomach cramps, rheumatism, paralysis of hands and feet, Hong Haier's enuresis, wind-cold colds and so on.
Second, ginger.
Ginger is widely used in people's lives. Fresh ginger is pungent, which has the functions of sweating, relieving exterior syndrome, stopping vomiting, dispelling cold and detoxifying, and is of great benefit to warming and strengthening the stomach. Ginger also contains a substance that inhibits blood coagulation, which can prevent thrombotic diseases and motion sickness to a certain extent.
The role of ginger is not extensive. When people accidentally get caught in the rain, they can drink a cup of ginger tea to prevent colds. If you are tired and soak your feet, you can also add a little ginger to the water. In addition, ginger has a magical effect that science can't explain, but it does exist, and that is to prolong life. Research data show that the elderly who have the habit of eating ginger live longer and healthier.
Third, garlic.
Garlic contains a unique allicin, which has strong bactericidal power. It can not only kill a variety of germs, but also has health-care functions such as insecticidal, detoxification and antiseptic. Eating garlic regularly can effectively prevent various intestinal diseases, colds, typhoid fever, meningitis and other diseases. In addition, the latest scientific research proves that some substances peculiar to garlic can inhibit the formation of free radicals in the human body to a certain extent, thus achieving the effect of preventing cancer.
In a word, the traditional food culture in China is not simple. These three seasonings, onion, ginger and garlic, can exist on the dining table in China for thousands of years, not only because they can make dishes more delicious, but also because they have health care functions that cannot be ignored. Therefore, people should be good at using these three seasonings scientifically and reasonably in their lives.
