Then, let's learn about the food culture this summer!
Ejiao nourishes blood and nourishes yin, which is a good tonic in winter. Don't eat Ejiao in summer mainly because Ejiao is greasy and easy to cause indigestion. Eating indigestible Ejiao easily affects the stomach. Ordinary people had better not eat it unless necessary, and citizens with bad stomachs can't touch Ejiao in summer. Children under the age of 6 have not developed well in the stomach and intestines, and their digestive function is weak, so they do not advocate eating.
To eat Ejiao in summer, you need to drink some honeysuckle, chrysanthemum tea and herbal tea, or eat some cool fruits such as bananas, kiwis, mulberries and pears, which will achieve good results. Eat Ejiao in summer, try not to put sugar, half less than in winter. Adults take 3-9 grams a day, which is beneficial to absorption on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. Try not to eat greasy and spicy food.
The most remarkable effect of Ejiao is nourishing yin and moistening dryness, which has a certain effect on moistening lung and relieving cough, and can also alleviate other symptoms caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire. Ejiao can promote bone marrow hematopoiesis, so it is very helpful to treat anemia, and hematopoiesis is closely related to heart, stomach, spleen and kidney. Heart produces blood, liver stores blood, and kidney controls blood, so Ejiao can protect spleen and stomach and liver and kidney.
Ejiao is sweet and flat, and taking proper amount of Ejiao in summer will generally not get angry. Ejiao's soul is "nourishing", nourishing blood, promoting fluid production and benefiting qi, so it has become a tribute and top grade, which can last for thousands of years. When the characteristics of Ejiao are recorded in ancient books, they are all "Ejiao is flat", and Ejiao has a wide range of health care functions, such as nourishing the heart. Ejiao enters the liver meridian, and the liver governs hair growth, produces blood and nourishes the heart. As the saying goes, spring nourishes the liver and summer nourishes the heart. Eating Ejiao in summer is necessary for the health care and nourishment of the heart.
Fire is an indispensable energy for human body. Summer is a good season for people with insufficient yang, and blindly removing fire will form a morbid constitution with cold inside and hot outside, and cold below and hot above. Ejiao is still the first tonic for people who are weak and need tonic. Ejiao is sweet in taste and flat in nature. It will not cause "excessive fire" in summer, or it can achieve the effect of tonic in summer without excessive fire when taken with a small amount of honeysuckle, chrysanthemum or herbal tea.
Ejiao can treat low back pain caused by internal injuries, strengthen tendons, replenish essence and strengthen kidney, so it also helps to strengthen tendons and bones and prevent osteoporosis. Ejiao can also improve immunity, scavenge free radicals in the body and play an anti-aging role. Ejiao is not a special tonic for women. It has a good effect on people with deficiency of qi and blood and physical weakness. It is also a good choice for sub-health, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases to improve their immunity. It is also an ideal health food for men to replenish essence and strengthen kidney.
Therefore, all kinds of people may wish to supplement Ejiao according to their actual situation, and it is naturally no problem to maintain health and prolong life. It should be noted that some people taking Ejiao in summer will cause excessive internal heat, mainly due to personal physical reasons. You should choose the appropriate method of taking according to your personal situation. For example, anemia patients can take 10g Ejiao every day, while chronic diseases should be taken according to the doctor's advice.
Ejiao is especially suitable for anemia patients, tumor patients, radiotherapy and chemotherapy patients, frail patients, irregular menstruation patients, pregnant women, people with chronic diseases and physical weakness, middle-aged and elderly women, mental workers and so on.
Many people think that Ejiao has the function of treating diseases and strengthening the body. In fact, the abuse of Ejiao can also cause side effects, such as indigestion and excessive internal heat. As the saying goes, drug therapy is not as good as diet therapy. Pay more attention to the intake of foods rich in protein, iron, zinc and vitamins on weekdays, which can make the blood sufficient.
Conclusion Although Ejiao is the most supplementary food for women in a special period, eating too much will also produce some nutrients that are supplemented by the body. If people who are usually healthy still eat Ejiao, it will have a bad influence. Bian Xiao does not recommend eating more Ejiao, and eating Ejiao in summer.
