Although radish has high nutritional value, it is cool and not suitable for everyone. Eating too much radish can lead to irregular menstruation and even amenorrhea in women, so pay attention to the amount you eat.
1, adding radish makes sense.
Eating more white radish can help digestion. "In winter, gastroenterology clinics often encounter patients with indigestion because they eat too much. In fact, you can eat more white radish, especially hot pot, and add a plate of white radish slices to the bottom of the soup. This will not only make the hot pot soup more delicious, but also avoid indigestion. Because radish has a good qi stagnation effect. " The doctor suggested that "eliminating stagnation is to eliminate the" stagnation "of diet and help digestion. When you eat too much or have indigestion symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating after eating meat, don't rush to find medicine. Try eating some radishes first. "
People with constipation eat more radishes.
People who eat "stagnation" generally show abdominal distension, constipation, smelly fart (mostly eating too much meat) and so on. They should eat several turnips to help digestion. Many people often fart after eating radish, which is the function of radish. The so-called "lower qi" is to strengthen the movement of the gastrointestinal tract, so that the gas in the gastrointestinal tract can be discharged from the anus, which can well alleviate abdominal distension, abdominal distension and other discomfort caused by flatulence. At the same time, because radish can strengthen gastrointestinal movement, it also has a certain effect on functional constipation. In Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, there is a record that radish is used to treat constipation. Modern research also found that radish contains amylase which can help digestion, B vitamins and minerals such as potassium and magnesium which can promote gastrointestinal movement. Therefore, for people with constipation, eating radish can play a role in relaxing bowels and lowering blood fat.
3, cough jaundice, eat more radishes.
Radish itself has a good expectorant effect, which can make phlegm thinner and easy to cough up. The doctor said that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, radish is cold, so in terms of phlegm, it should be based on clearing heat and resolving phlegm (that is, sticky yellow phlegm). Usually cough up a lot of phlegm, and phlegm is sticky and not easy to cough up, usually hot phlegm. At this time, eating white radish will help to relieve cough and resolve phlegm.
4, old chronic bronchitis, asthma patients, do not eat carrots.
Radish is cool, pungent and sweet, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Because of the cold nature, it is best not to eat radish for those who have cough and asthma (white phlegm, thin phlegm or foam) with deficiency cold as the main performance, because if you are physically weak and eat cold food, it will definitely aggravate your condition and even induce an acute attack of asthma. In addition, patients with chronic bronchitis and asthma have a long course of disease, and their constitution is mainly "spleen and kidney deficiency", so it is not suitable to eat radish to resolve phlegm. Of course, even in the acute attack of chronic bronchitis, when phlegm is too much, yellow and sticky, radish can still be used as an aid.
5. People with spleen deficiency eat less radish.
Because radish has the function of reducing qi and relieving depression, it is best not to eat white radish often for people with weak spleen and stomach (manifested as loss of appetite and thin stool) and no stagnation. Because of excessive gas circulation, there is the possibility of gas consumption, which will make the weakness of the spleen and stomach unable to improve, and even aggravate the weakness.
6. Don't eat with Radix Codonopsis and Radix Astragali.
"Many people think that radish has the function of antidote. Eat Chinese medicine instead of radish. Actually this is a misunderstanding. " The doctor said, "According to the theory of Chinese medicine, radish is not afraid of other Chinese medicines, so it has no effect on other Chinese medicines." However, because radish has the function of "lowering qi" and "relieving depression", Chinese medicine believes that excessive circulation of qi is easy to break qi. Therefore, eating radish will hinder the nourishing effect of qi-invigorating drugs (such as ginseng and astragalus). In addition, Cantonese people often use codonopsis pilosula, Lycium barbarum, Astragalus membranaceus and other herbs to make soup, so don't eat radish at this time unless you don't need the nourishing effect of those herbs.
