In addition, wheat can also grow into green wheat straw and be made into wheat straw beverage. Wheat, that is, wheat with the word "",such as wheat, barley, millet, oats, rye, buckwheat and so on. All the above six kinds of wheat have medicinal value. The medicinal process of wheat is also nutrition-oriented, and its transformation process is an irreversible reaction of nutrition, health preservation and disease resistance. The plant nutrition of wheat is different from that of animals. The nutrition of wheat promotes physical fitness and health preservation, and also supports the enhancement of human immunity, thus achieving a high level of cancer prevention and disease prevention.
basic concept
(1) Wheat with homology of medicine and food is well known to the public, but wheat is also a medicine. China put forward the theory of "homology of medicine and food" in ancient times, which resulted in the concepts of medicinal diet and dietotherapy. Dietotherapy in China is based on traditional medicine, and its basis is the pharmaceutical composition of food. According to Chinese medicine, medicine and food are homologous-both come from plants. This is called "medicine and food are homologous, medicine and food are homologous." Therefore, wheat is an edible and medicinal amphibious substance. Modern people are not satisfied with eating well, but require the food they eat to have certain medical and health care functions.
Wheat is full of treasures: wheat seedlings, wheat embryos, wheat germ oil, wheat bran, whole wheat flour and so on.
(2) Nutrition and disease resistance; American g in the 1970s. E. Berkeley wrote the book Nutrition and Anti-cancer; Chen Zhaofei, a Chinese living in the United States, has a doctorate in microbiology, specializing in immunology and biochemistry, and founded nutritional immunology at the end of the 20th century. Two scholars expounded a key word from different fields: nutrition. Bekele put forward the theory of nutritional anti-cancer, that is, eating foods rich in vitamins and beneficial minerals can enhance the ability of the body's own defense system to prevent cancer. Dr Chen Zhaofei said: Nutritional immunology is a science that studies the relationship between nutrition and immune system. A healthy immune system can prevent all diseases and keep healthy; Relatively speaking, when the immune system lacks nutrition, it will be very weak, resulting in the inability to play a role in resisting cancer or other diseases. Nutritional immunology advocates that there are complete and balanced plant foods in the human body, such as natural plants and herbs, in order to ingest the most beneficial nutrients in the human body and thus enhance the autoimmune ability.
(3) Medical Use of Wheat Seedling In ancient China, this herb was used to treat diseases. The first person to write it into the medical code was Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty, and there were many documents in Chinese herbal medicine books of past dynasties. Especially in view of the spread of hepatitis into a plague, the ancients used tender wheat leaves to increase dates and saved countless people.
There are two ways for modern wheat seedlings to be used as medicine: 1. Squeeze the green juice from the wheat seedling and take it immediately. 2。 Wheat seedlings are made into barley green health care products through process lines, which are very popular in developed countries and regions. Two people who used wheat seedlings for medicinal purposes, Japanese Yoshihara, introduced that he was poisoned by organic mercury and drank wheat seedling juice to bring him back to life; An old lady in the United States, Taian Wigmore, said that she had a tumor in her uterus and was suffering from toxemia. At the age of 50, she suffered from rectal cancer. Three years later, she recovered without medicine. Now she is over 80 years old. The above two experts are international leaders in treating diseases with wheat seedlings. For decades, she has promoted wheat seedling health care all over the world.
The medical concept of wheat seedlings is that naturally grown wheat seedlings contain a lot of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. For example, the content of vitamin C is 60 times that of citrus, and the mineral is 18 times that of spinach. It may also contain enzymes that inhibit cancer cells, SOD enzymes with antioxidant capacity, and abundant chlorophyll and dietary fiber. The above-mentioned high-quality nutrients can enhance the immune system's functions of eliminating toxins in the body and cleaning blood, so as to achieve the comprehensive effects of health preservation and disease resistance.
