Chinese medicine believes that ginger has the effect of relieving exterior syndrome, dispelling cold, warming and stopping vomiting.
Eating ginger in summer has many benefits.
1. Follow the weather and rise to the sun.
Eating ginger in summer morning has the best health care effect. Chinese medicine believes that morning is the time when the yang of human body and nature rises. Eating ginger at this time will help the body's yang to rise and make people energetic.
In addition, summer is the most prosperous season for Yang Qi in a year. At 7-9 in the morning, the stomach meridian is vigorous. Eating ginger in the morning can improve the stomach qi and help digestion.
2. Resist external evils and prevent gradual progress.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "ginger can conquer all evil, so it is called ginger". From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the summer weather is hot, the sweat pores of the human body are open, the yang is scattered outward, and the yang in the body is empty and vulnerable to external evils. Eating warm ginger at this time can tonify yang and ward off evil spirits.
3 heatstroke prevention and cold prevention, two-pronged.
Some people say that "ginger is a good medicine for relieving summer heat". Think back to the feeling of sweating after eating hot pot in summer. With the discharge of sweat, the residual heat in the body is taken away. How can you lose ginger if you want to sweat and cool down?
4 appetizing and strengthening the spleen, stimulating appetite.
In hot summer, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice decreases, which will inevitably affect appetite. Eating a few slices of ginger before meals can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase appetite. This is what people often say, "If the rice is not fragrant, eat ginger".
Eating ginger in summer is really healthy. Here are three simple and effective ways to eat ginger.
1 vinegar soaked ginger: appetizing and reducing blood fat
Practice: Slice ginger into a jar, then pour rice vinegar or aged vinegar (vinegar should not be over ginger). Wrap another piece of plastic wrap around the jar. Put it in the refrigerator for about a week after sealing.
Suggestion: don't eat on an empty stomach, it will hurt your stomach. Suggest breakfast. It is enough to take three tablets a day. If you eat too much, your stomach will get hot.
