1. The benefits of eating eggplant
I am starving after eating eggplant in October. Eggplant is rich in nutrition, but the "starving doctor" is too exaggerated. Chinese medicine believes that eggplant has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and can prevent dry stool and hemorrhoid bleeding. Eggplant can enhance the elasticity of capillaries and reduce senile plaques; It can prevent blood pressure from rising and regulate cholesterol. It is recommended to eat all year round. Chinese medicine believes that eggplant tastes bitter and cold, and has the effects of dispelling blood stasis, relieving swelling and pain, treating cold and heat, expelling wind and dredging collaterals, and stopping bleeding, and can be used to treat internal hemorrhoids or fecal bleeding, freckles, sweat spots, chapped nipples, oral erosion, etc.
2. Dietary taboos of eggplant
Because eggplant is a cool vegetable, pregnant women with dyspepsia, diarrhea, spleen and stomach deficiency and loose stool symptoms should not eat more. Pregnant women should also choose fresh eggplant when choosing eggplant. It is best not to choose old eggplant, especially after autumn, which contains more solanine, which is harmful to human body and should not be eaten more. Avoid eating with crab meat. Eggplant and crab meat are both cold foods. Eating together often causes gastrointestinal discomfort, and in severe cases, it can lead to diarrhea, especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
Proverbs and common sayings are mostly the wisdom summarized by predecessors in life, and also contain many methods of TCM health preservation. Among them, some practices are still applicable today, but some are outdated. September 23rd is the autumnal equinox, which means it is really autumn. Autumn is a season of alternating cold and summer. The temperature is capricious, which makes it difficult for weak people to adapt for a while, and diseases abound.
