Health wine is taboo, and self-made wine raises blood sugar.
"Homemade wine can't be drunk indiscriminately." Outside the endocrine clinic of a city hospital, Aunt Chen was very emotional. Aunt Chen recently measured that her blood sugar has been very high, so she came to the hospital for examination. Only after the doctor's consultation did he know that the "culprit" of her recent high blood sugar was the small spoonful of homemade wine every night. Aunt Chen said that she has always had high blood pressure with mild diabetes. A while ago, she heard that wine can lower blood pressure. She brought a pot of homemade wine back from her relatives' house and drank a little every night.
Aunt Chen's diet is very light and she doesn't eat much sugary food. How can her blood sugar be high? The doctor asked Aunt Chen to inquire about the formula of relatives' wine. Relatives say there are Lycium barbarum, Rehmannia glutinosa and so on. There is a lot of rock sugar in the formula. Wine is originally fruit wine, which contains a lot of sugar, and then rock sugar is added as an auxiliary material. No wonder Aunt Chen's blood sugar is high recently!
Health wine is exquisite, and it is most suitable for drinking in winter and spring.
Chinese medicine suggests that patients with diabetes and hypertension are forbidden to drink medicinal liquor! Because wine itself is a medicine, it has the functions of expelling wind and cold, relaxing muscles and tendons and promoting blood circulation. Therefore, the compatibility of wine with some drugs can enhance the efficacy, not only prevent diseases, but also be used for adjuvant treatment after diseases. But drinking health wine has many taboos.
For example, the wine itself is warm, and the medicinal liquor with nourishing herbs is more "tonic", so it is most suitable for drinking medicinal liquor in winter and spring, and it is not easy to get angry when drinking it at this time.
Different medicinal materials have different effects. For example, experts say that adding astragalus to wine is good for people with qi deficiency, adding codonopsis pilosula to medicinal liquor for people with yang deficiency, and adding snake to medicinal materials for people with rheumatism.
At the same time, experts also mentioned that different medicinal liquor should be aimed at different objects. Drinking it wrong will lead to confusion of qi and blood, and the effect will be counterproductive. For example, people with thin bodies are prone to yin deficiency and blood deficiency, and it is easy to make a fire and hurt the body. It is advisable to choose medicinal liquor for nourishing yin and enriching blood; Obese people often have yang deficiency and qi deficiency, and it is easy to produce phlegm. It is advisable to choose aphrodisiac wine.
Men generally choose nourishing medicinal liquor, while women choose nourishing blood and nourishing yin. Take ginseng wine as an example. People with qi deficiency, fear of cold and low back and leg pain drink it, which means "drinking because of illness"; If yin deficiency and fire are flourishing, people in hot phase will get worse if they drink it. Experts say that according to the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, the same family may need to drink different medicinal liquor for health.
Is there any medicinal liquor suitable for a wider audience? Chinese medicine believes that there are still some health-preserving medicinal liquor with universal significance. The principle is to use less drugs, and using "strong drugs" will be harmful to health.
How to drink health wine? A spoonful of health medicinal liquor every day is suitable for cold weather. Generally, it should be taken according to the condition, physical strength, age difference and alcohol consumption. If it is common medicinal liquor, you can drink a teaspoon every night; When the weather is cold, it can be properly heated before drinking, and if necessary, it can be mixed with warm water.
Experts remind: Medicinal liquor should not be blindly "fierce".
Chinese medicine reminds that the production of medicinal liquor pays attention to: the dose is not enough and the effect is minimal; If the dosage is too large, it is beyond the scope of health care, and long-term drinking is harmful to the body. Some pharmacies and hotels increase the dosage at will in order to "pursue the effect". In addition, drugs with similar effects should not be mixed with wine casually, and must be made under the guidance of professional pharmacists.
