We have all come into contact with or heard a sentence from the older generation in our daily life. This saying is that we eat ginger ginseng soup in the morning and ginger arsenic in the evening. So we also eat ginger. Why is eating ginger completely different in the morning and at night? What is the scientific truth of this sentence?

In fact, there is no scientific basis for eating ginger arsenic at night, because ginger is both food and medicine. It has many functions, such as helping our body to digest and sweat, stimulating fever, secreting gastric juice and helping digestion. Whenever you eat ginger, the effect on the human body is similar.

It is only in the view of Chinese medicine that our human body begins to converge after nightfall, and the yin qi slowly rises. This time should be the time to recuperate. However, this kind of food is spicy and mild, and it has the function of emitting yang, so it is against the principle of yin and yang. That's why there is a saying that ginger arsenic is eaten at night.

However, in theory, eating ginger at night does have a negative impact on the human body. For example, eating ginger at night is very irritating to our intestines, which is conducive to promoting intestinal peristalsis during the day, but the gastrointestinal function is weakened during sleep, and the concentration of such irritating substances increases, which will affect intestinal health and sleep quality.

There is also ginger, whose spicy taste is mild, so eating ginger at night can easily produce internal heat in our body, which will cause constipation in our body over time. Therefore, although it is not credible that ginger eats arsenic at night, it is better to eat less at night.
