Known as "underground ginseng", it can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, promote digestion and tonify deficiency!
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that taro is sweet and pungent, and has the effects of invigorating spleen and tonifying deficiency, dispersing stagnation and detoxifying.
In addition, China's medical classic "Edible Materia Medica" said: "Taro can cure vexation and heat, quench thirst, make people fat and white, stimulate appetite and relieve constipation".
It can be seen that taro can not only strengthen the spleen, tonify deficiency, dissipate stagnation and detoxify, but also relieve annoyance and thirst, stimulate appetite, and make people's skin fair.
Of course, the most important health care function of taro is to strengthen the spleen.
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the acquired foundation of the human body. All eating diseases, such as indigestion, loss of appetite, disharmony between spleen and stomach, sallow complexion and emaciation, are all due to spleen problems.
Taro enters the spleen and stomach, which can replenish spleen and soil. Therefore, it is suggested that you can often eat some "earth" foods such as taro, especially those who usually have a bad stomach.
Taro is rich in mucosaponin and various trace elements, which can promote appetite, help digestion and improve the body's disease resistance.
However, although taro is good, not everyone can eat it.
Although taro is good, this kind of person should not eat more.
Taro is rich in starch, which can be easily converted into sugar after being ingested, which is not conducive to controlling blood sugar. Therefore, diabetic patients should not eat more taro.
In addition, taro cake, taro paste, peach taro and persimmon paste are all sweet and delicious vegetarian dishes. And these eating methods are not suitable for diabetics.
Speaking of which, I recommend two taro remedies to you ~
