Chen Yunbin even said in "The Wisdom of Going Home to Eat": Eat ginger and tonic soup while it is early. Speaking of the homology of medicine and food, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, and that is ginger. Ginger is really a gift from heaven to us ordinary people. Look, whose kitchen is short of ginger? In traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, ginger is used as a medicine for monarch, minister and assistant. As early as the Confucius era, people knew the importance of ginger. Therefore, it is a wise saying that his old man should especially emphasize "not withdrawing ginger food". You can't live without ginger for a day at home. In my family, no matter young or old, whoever catches a cold, catches the wind and catches the shadow, and immediately serves a bowl of ginger soup. Sweat a little and you'll get over your cold. I have a bad appetite. Just drink ginger and jujube tea for two days to warm your stomach. Everyone knows a lot about the benefits of ginger, so I won't say much. Just to emphasize that if you eat ginger for daily health care, you must eat it at breakfast. The so-called "eat ginger early, tonic soup" is also true. Eating ginger in the morning has the best health care effect. There are two reasons: first, Jiang is best at publicizing Yang. 7-9 am is the time when human qi and blood flow into Yangming stomach meridian. Eating ginger at this time just produces stomach gas and promotes digestion. Second, ginger is pungent and warm, which can speed up blood flow and have a refreshing effect. If you feel groggy after getting up in the morning, a piece or two of ginger will refresh you immediately. Wang said in Blood for Health: There is a proverb in China: You are safe with ginger in your mouth. 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." Modern clinical pharmacological research has found that ginger has the functions of accelerating human metabolism, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, exciting human multiple systems and regulating prostate. Therefore, ginger is often used for male health care. Eating a piece of dried ginger after a meal not only helps to warm the stomach and dispel cold, but also improves human immunity. However, ginger is an irritating food, so you can't use too much, so as not to break the blood and hurt the yin. China Baliren said in "Private Talk on Health": There is a folk saying: "Eat ginger early and make up the medicine soup; Eating ginger in the afternoon will make you sick; Eat ginger at night and see the king of hell. " Ginger has the function of dispersing sweat. Eating ginger in the morning can nourish yang; At noon, the yang of nature and people is the most abundant, and eating ginger is easy to hurt the lungs; At night, the sun be the spirit should converge. If you eat ginger again, all the yang in your body will be released. In fact, it is a good way to add vinegar when eating ginger. Because the sour taste has converged, the strength of ginger has also converged, and Jiang Ye has become peaceful, not as spicy as ginger. What we usually say about male yang deficiency is actually liver yang deficiency. At this time, if the liver yang is directly supplemented, it will get angry and can't be supplemented at all. Ginger rises to yang, and vinegar is astringent. If you eat ginger slices soaked in vinegar, you can make up this medicine on the liver at once, which not only nourishes yang, but also soothes liver qi. The making method of vinegar soaked ginger is 1. First, cut ginger into thin slices. It is best to use fresh ginger, which has a very good medicinal effect and can also enhance blood circulation and promote digestion. Ginger slices need not be cut too thick, but they must be cut evenly. 2. Put the cut ginger into the bottle, and then pour the rice vinegar into the bottle. Note that this bottle must be cleaned and there must be no oil in it to avoid ginger deterioration; Rice vinegar must not be covered with ginger slices, so the ginger slices will not be exposed. Then put this bottle of ginger slices soaked in rice vinegar in the freezer. After a week, you can eat 2~4 slices of fresh ginger every day, which has a very good effect of reducing blood fat and adjuvant treatment of arthritis. In order to maximize the health value of ginger, a brand of vinegar-soaked ginger named Baogen appeared in the market. Soak the roots in vinegar and soak the ginger on the market. Soak ginger with vinegar as a good product to warm and tonify yang, and select the world-class ginger raw material Shiqiang ginger. Because Shi Qiangsheng's ginger is only picked for three days every August, at this time, Shi Qiangsheng's ginger skin is large, thin, spicy and delicious, and it is extremely rich in nutrition, and it is in the growing period, and the aphrodisiac effect is the best. In terms of technology, it follows the ancient process of "three soaking and three drying". After three times of soaking, the nutrients in ginger are fully decomposed and completely become something easily absorbed by the human body. After three insolations, ginger gained the energy of the sun. In the view of health experts, the sun is the sun between heaven and earth. Although invisible and intangible, it is of great benefit to the human body. It can be said that ginger is a cheap and effective tonic compared with ginseng, velvet antler and other precious Chinese herbal medicines. Need to be reminded that vinegar soaked ginger for daily health care must be eaten at breakfast. The so-called "eat ginger early and make up the soup". This is because Jiang is the Yang who is best at publicity. 7-9 am is the time when human qi and blood flow into Yangming stomach meridian. Eating ginger at this time just produces stomach gas and promotes digestion.
