Ginger-a person can't live without ginger for a hundred days.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, ginger is a product that helps yang. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has always said that "people can't live without ginger for a hundred days." Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, described an 80-year-old monk in Jingci Temple, Qiantang, Hangzhou, with a childish face. "He persuaded Jiang for forty years, so he is not old." Legend has it that White Snake stole Xiancao to save Xu Xian. This fairy grass is ginger bud. Ginger is also called "rejuvenation grass" and ginger soup is also called "rejuvenation soup".
Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer doesn't require a doctor's prescription. "Since ancient times, Chinese medicine and the people have had the saying that' ginger can cure all diseases'. Because ginger contains gingerol, gingerol, phellandrene, citral, spices and other oily volatile oils; There are also gingerol, resin, starch and fiber. Therefore, ginger has the functions of excitement, perspiration, coolness and refreshing in hot season; Can relieve fatigue, fatigue, anorexia, insomnia, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms; Ginger also has the function of strengthening the stomach and appetizing. In hot summer, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice will be reduced, which will affect people's appetite. If you eat a few slices of ginger for dinner, it will increase your appetite; Ginger can also relieve or relieve stomach pain. The pain, vomiting, pantothenic acid and hunger caused by gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcer can be quickly eliminated by drinking 50 grams of ginger water.
In summer, the growth and reproduction of bacteria are extremely active, which easily pollutes food and causes acute gastroenteritis. But eating some ginger or taking it with dried ginger and tea in boiling water can play a preventive role. Scientists have found through research that ginger can play the role of some antibiotics, especially for salmonella. Ginger also has the function of killing oral pathogens and intestinal pathogens. Washing with Jiang Shui is effective in treating halitosis and periodontitis.
In summer, people are greedy for coolness and like to use electric fans and air conditioners. It is easy to feel cold and cause a cold. At this time, drinking ginger syrup in time will help to discharge the cold in the body. Chinese medicine believes that ginger can "connect the mind", that is, refresh the mind. When heatstroke faints in summer, a glass of ginger juice can make patients wake up quickly. For patients with general summer heat, which is manifested as dizziness, palpitation, chest tightness and nausea, it is of great benefit to eat ginger soup properly.
There are many ways to eat ginger. Drinking ginger soup, eating ginger porridge, adding shredded ginger when heating oil, adding shredded ginger when stewing meat, frying fish, adding shredded ginger when making flat food and stuffing dumplings can not only make the taste delicious, but also help to wake up the stomach and strengthen the spleen, refresh the mind, promote appetite, help digestion and help the stomach absorb nutrients. However, since ginger has pharmacological effects, we should pay attention to some of its usages and taboos, and pay attention to the following issues:
1. Don't peel it. Some people like to peel ginger, which can't give full play to the overall effect of ginger. Ordinary fresh ginger can be shredded and sliced after washing.
2. Anyone suffering from excessive fire due to yin deficiency, red eyes and internal heat, or carbuncle, furuncle, pneumonia, lung abscess, tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, cholecystitis, pyelonephritis, diabetes and hemorrhoids should not eat ginger for a long time.
3. From the point of view of treatment, ginger brown sugar water is only suitable for patients with cold stomach and fever after a cold or rain, but not for patients with cold or wind-heat cold in summer, let alone for treating heatstroke. Taking fresh ginger juice can cure vomiting caused by cold, but it is ineffective for other types of vomiting.
4. Don't eat rotten ginger. Rotten ginger will produce a very toxic substance, which can denature and necrosis liver cells, thus inducing liver cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. The saying that "rotten ginger doesn't stink" is wrong.
Eating ginger is not the more the better. In hot summer, people are prone to dry mouth, polydipsia, sore throat and sweating. Ginger is spicy and warm, and belongs to hot food. According to the principle of "heat is cold", it is not advisable to eat more. You can put a few slices of ginger when cooking or making soup.
Ginger is not only a good condiment, but also has good medicinal value.
In The Analects of Confucius Hometown in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was recorded that Confucius never ate ginger. It can be seen that people knew that eating ginger was good for health 2500 years ago. To learn more about the functions of ginger, please click [Chinese Medicine-Ginger].

Ginger contains volatile gingerol and gingerol, which has the functions of promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold, removing dampness and sweating. In addition, it also has the effects of invigorating stomach, stopping vomiting, removing fishy smell and eliminating edema.

The nutritional composition of ginger is similar to that of onion and garlic. It also contains protein, sugar, vitamins and other substances, and contains plant antibiotics, and its sterilization effect is no less than that of onion and garlic.

Ginger soup boiled with ginger and brown sugar can promote blood circulation to drive away cold and prevent colds. It has been a good medicine for colds since ancient times. When traveling abroad, taking ginger before departure, or sticking a piece on your navel or smelling it on your nose can prevent motion sickness. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "go out with a piece of ginger and keep healthy at all times".
There was once a patient who found that cancer cells had metastasized to the lymphatic system of the whole body during the operation and received chemotherapy. Because of conditioned reflex vomiting, she lost 2 ~ 3 kilograms per chemotherapy cycle, which seriously damaged her health. After using clinical nutrition to support and adjust the patient's diet, the patient does not force to eat before receiving chemotherapy every morning, but puts a thin piece of ginger in his mouth to take advantage of the anti-vomiting and warming the middle warmer to dispel cold. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after the toxic climax of chemotherapy drugs has passed, eat in small quantities several times to ensure that patients get enough calories and nutritional supplements. During the one-year treatment, the patient's weight not only did not drop, but increased by 10 kg. With the enhancement of immune function, the patient's life lasted for another five years. Ginger plays an important role here.
It should be noted that rotten ginger contains safrole, which is highly toxic to the liver and must not be eaten once it is found to be rotten.
