Why do you eat radishes from winter to the future?
After beginning of winter, the weather is getting colder, especially on the solstice in winter, and Yin Qi is the biggest in a year. Since the beginning of winter, the Yang Qi of the human body has been hidden to protect the five internal organs, so the exterior of the body shows Yin Qi. What people like most in winter is meat. Even if you eat less meat, you will give priority to warming up. When we take supplements all winter, our stomachs will be unbearable and show annoying symptoms of heat. Treatise on Febrile Diseases also said: "In November, the yang is at home, and the stomach is hot and annoying." What he said 1 1 month is the lunar calendar 1 1 month, which is the winter solstice. Because the yang is hidden in the body and the diet is warm, it is inevitable that there will be symptoms of stomach heat and annoyance. Radish should be born in season, which solves this problem well.

Chinese medicine believes that radish is cool. Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, said in Compendium of Materia Medica that radish has the effect of "lowering qi and eliminating valley, neutralizing pathogenic heat", so it can just relieve upset heat in the stomach. Modern medicine believes that radish is rich in vitamin C, which helps to eliminate waste in the body and promote metabolism. Especially white radish or water radish, rich in enzymes, can promote digestion. Therefore, if you eat too much or eat too much greasy food in winter, you can eat some radishes appropriately to eliminate stagnation and relieve fever.

After the solstice in winter, eat some radishes to keep healthy.
