I remember a friend who went to Ningxia to play and brought a lot of Lycium barbarum when he came home. He ate medlar as raisins on the plane. As a result, I got angry the next day, and my mouth was full of oral ulcers.
At this time, people will ask why? Although Lycium barbarum is a nourishing food with health care and medicinal value, it should be remembered that it should not exceed 20g at a time, about 15g per day. Do not eat too much. Eating too much is easy to get angry. In fact, the reason is very simple. The absorption of nutrients by human body is limited. It can't absorb a lot of nutrients in a day, and it can't absorb a lot if it eats too much. The human body's daily absorption of nutrients is limited. So don't eat too much, just the right amount, too much will also cause a burden on the body.
The nutritional value of Lycium barbarum is actually good. Lycium barbarum 100g (dry) can provide crude protein 14g, with high content, 47.2g of carbohydrate and rich dietary fiber, while Lycium barbarum 16.9 g (dry) can provide 16.9g, because the water in Lycium barbarum is evaporated, and the sugar content is already high. Now that the sugar is concentrated, I have eaten too much. In addition, the dietary fiber content of Lycium barbarum is high, and it may be difficult to digest if you eat too much, so it is not recommended to eat more at one time. It is recommended to take 10~ 15 capsules every day. Lycium barbarum is rich in minerals, especially potassium. 100g Lycium barbarum can also provide 434mg of potassium, 209mg of phosphorus, 60mg of calcium, 5.4mg of extracted elements, 96mg of magnesium and 0/.48 mg of zinc. These minerals are not only complete in variety but also high in content. Lycium barbarum is also rich in vitamin C, vitamin B and prominent vitamin A. Vitamin A can prevent dry eye and night blindness, so people often say that Lycium barbarum has the effect of clearing liver and improving eyesight. Eating Lycium barbarum properly can supplement many beneficial ingredients for us. Lycium barbarum contains a special component "Lycium barbarum polysaccharide", which has many potential functions such as improving human immunity, increasing the number and activity of macrophages, and improving the strength of specific immune cells.
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has antioxidant and antitumor effects in many animal experiments, which is helpful to prevent hyperlipidemia and hypertension symptoms in mice and rabbits, protect nervous system and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Although most experiments are in vitro and animal experiments, Lycium barbarum has many potential effects on human body. It's not a bad thing to eat Lycium barbarum every day. It is best not to soak Lycium barbarum in water, because there are many beneficial ingredients in Lycium barbarum that are insoluble in water, so it is best to eat them directly. Some middle-aged and elderly friends may have difficulty chewing and blocked teeth. They can add porridge, soup and steamed eggs to relieve the dryness of Lycium barbarum.
Lycium barbarum is a very popular modern health food. Many friends eat medlar every day. Anyway, it's still an old saying: Lycium barbarum is not a magical food, it can tonify kidney, replenish essence, improve sub-health, clear liver and benefit gallbladder. After all, the effect of diet therapy is only auxiliary, and it is impossible to have an immediate effect. The final effect varies according to everyone's absorption ability, physique and sensitivity to ingredients. In short, don't look at Lycium barbarum with mythical glasses.
Lycium barbarum occupies an important position in people's minds, but also from the traditional medicine. It is an excellent food with the same origin as medicine and food recorded in many ancient books. Sweet, mild and warm, it can be cooked and eaten with a variety of foods. In traditional medicine, Lycium barbarum can nourish the kidney and liver, and benefit eyesight. It is often used to relieve fatigue, weakness of waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, internal heat and thirst. In modern experiments, Lycium barbarum is the key research object. For example, the aqueous extract of Lycium barbarum can inhibit the fatty deposition in the liver of mice, prevent fatty liver and promote the regeneration of hepatocytes. Because Lycium barbarum is rich in betaine, betaine can increase the level of phospholipids in the liver of mice, and has the effects of anti-fatty liver and regulating lipid metabolism. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, the main active substance in Lycium barbarum, also has the function of protecting the reproductive system of rats in animal experiments, such as preventing DNA breakage of mouse testis and promoting the normal development of germ cells; Lycium barbarum polysaccharide also has the function of regulating immune system (animal experiment), which can increase the number of macrophages in spleen cells and the secretion of antibodies; Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has certain antioxidant and anticancer effects.
However, many experiments are carried out in vitro cell or animal experiments, and the components extracted from Lycium barbarum are not the same as eating Lycium barbarum regularly. Therefore, the publicity effect presented to us by many Lycium barbarum L. is only exaggerated, and in fact, it may not achieve the same effect in clinic. However, Lycium barbarum has a certain protective effect on nerve, which can reduce the activity of amyloid protease and the apoptosis of nerve cells by resisting the stress level of endoplasmic reticulum of nerve cells, so it has a potential role in preventing Alzheimer's disease, and middle-aged and elderly friends can eat it properly every day.
In addition to some exaggerated magical effects of Lycium barbarum, the nutritional value of Lycium barbarum is actually worth mentioning. It is rich in minerals, especially potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Lycium barbarum is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin B, and many beneficial substances are far ahead in food. However, the sugar content of Lycium barbarum is still relatively high, so it should not be eaten too much. It is recommended to take 10~ 15 capsules every day. In addition, soaking in water is not recommended. If you drink water, don't throw away Lycium barbarum. There are many insoluble beneficial substances in Lycium barbarum, so it is too wasteful to throw them away. You can put some medlar in daily cooking, porridge, steamed bread and eggs, so.
How to eat Lycium barbarum and how much to eat a day mainly depends on the size. If it is the first-class medlar, 1g is about 5-6 capsules; If it is Grade A, 1g should be 7- 10 capsules; If it is Grade B, that is, smaller Lycium barbarum, 1g should be 1 1- 15 capsules. If you eat Youda Lycium barbarum, take 15- 18 capsules each time; If it is a level, it should be 20-30 under normal circumstances; If it is the smallest, it should be 30-40 capsules. The most correct way to eat is to wash and steam 10 minutes and eat 2-3 times a day.

These components have the functions of enhancing immune function, delaying aging, resisting tumor, reducing blood fat, promoting hematopoiesis, resisting genetic damage, lowering blood sugar, resisting fatigue and protecting organs.

As a kind of health-care dried fruit, Lycium barbarum will not have any obvious effect if taken for a short time or occasionally. Only by taking it for a long time can we feel the health care and medical value of Lycium barbarum. Generally, it takes about a year to feel the nutritional and medicinal value of Lycium barbarum. At first, take a small amount of four or five tablets a day for chewing or soaking in water, and then increase the food intake to about a dozen tablets every week, otherwise the body will not accept eating more than a dozen tablets for the first time, and it is easy to get angry and nosebleed.
It depends on the size of your cup. Just like making tea, the proportion can be adjusted by yourself. Generally, a dozen or twenty cups will be enough. Some grandfathers soak half a pot of Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup, which is not very recommended and too late.
Lycium barbarum should not be eaten more, generally about 20g.
Lycium barbarum is easy to get angry and red-eye, so it must be eaten in moderation.

For example, Qinghai Lycium barbarum, because it is produced in high altitude areas, is relatively large and rich in nutrition, so eat less small particles of Lycium barbarum.
Because it is big, it contains more nutritional value.
