If you soak in water and don't eat medlar, you can use boiled water instead. Traditional Chinese medicine has long said that "Lycium barbarum keeps healthy", and many people also like to use it to soak in water, make soup or cook porridge in their lives. In terms of eating methods, direct chewing is more beneficial to the health care function of Lycium barbarum.

Eating Lycium barbarum regularly can "strengthen bones and muscles and resist cold and heat". Modern research also shows that it has the functions of enhancing immunity, delaying aging and resisting cancer, and is often used as nourishing and recuperating food. In addition to these health functions, the medicinal value of Lycium barbarum is mainly reflected in the adjuvant treatment of diabetes, fatty liver, male infertility, obesity, dry mouth in the elderly at night, chronic atrophic gastritis and other diseases. In addition, Lycium barbarum can improve the skin's ability to absorb nutrients, and it can whiten the skin if eaten regularly.

However, when using Lycium barbarum to soak in water or make soup, its efficacy cannot be fully exerted. Due to the influence of water temperature, soaking time and other factors, only some medicinal components in Lycium barbarum can be released into water or soup. Chewing directly with your mouth will fully absorb the nutrients in Lycium barbarum. However, when you chew Lycium barbarum, you should pay attention to the fact that the amount you eat is best halved, otherwise it will be easy to overnutrition. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of medlar every day; If you think about the effect of treatment, you can eat about 30 grams a day.
