Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C and trace elements, which can dilate blood vessels, reduce elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, and improve and promote cholesterol excretion, so as to reduce blood lipid and prevent hyperlipidemia. In addition, hawthorn can also promote digestion.
Because hawthorn contains lipase, it can promote the digestion of meat food. If you eat a lot of meat, but you have indigestion, eating some good results at this time can solve the digestion problem of meat food to a great extent.
Hawthorn also contains vitamin C, flavonoids and carotene, which can enhance human immunity, delay aging and is said to prevent cancer. Hawthorn also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can assist in the treatment of traumatic injury.
Hawthorn has so many benefits that not everyone can eat it. The people below had better eat less.
1, patients with gastric diseases
Patients with gastritis, gastric ulcer, hyperacidity and other diseases, it is best to use hawthorn less, so as not to aggravate the condition. Because hawthorn can promote digestion, because hawthorn can promote the body to secrete more digestive juice, which will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract. Excessive digestive juice is undoubtedly worse for patients with gastritis, gastric ulcer and hyperacidity. Therefore, patients with stomach diseases should not choose hawthorn for health care.
2. Pregnant women
We have just come to the conclusion that hawthorn has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for traumatic injury. But for pregnant women, banning drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis will stimulate uterine contraction. For newly pregnant women, the placenta is not stable enough, and eating hawthorn is relatively unsafe.
3. Children
Children are in the period of growth and development, and so are teeth. The fruit acid and acid lactose in hawthorn have a certain corrosive effect on teeth, which will affect children's tooth growth. If the child must choose hawthorn, remember to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth.
4. Fasting
Hawthorn contains a lot of organic acids, fruit acids and so on. If you eat on an empty stomach, your stomach acid will soar. In this case, even if there is no stomach trouble, hyperacidity has a certain strong stimulation to the gastric mucosa. If you eat a lot of hawthorn on an empty stomach, it may cause stomach pain.
Therefore, although hawthorn is good, eating hawthorn is also particular. If you are taking hawthorn, you must be careful not to take too much at a time, otherwise it will not only fail to reduce blood pressure, lose weight and prevent cancer, but even lead to gastrointestinal reactions. Although there is no fixed amount of hawthorn soaking water, it is unscientific to only drink hawthorn soaking water every day.
Hawthorn soaking in water varies from person to person. Don't blindly pursue something fashionable. Health and health preservation are the same. People's physical conditions are different, and so are their basic diseases. You can't blindly pursue things like health and forget the original intention.
