It is said that pineapple was introduced into South China of China from Brazil in the16th century. Its pulp is soft, sweet and sour, which can stimulate appetite and is rich in nutrients such as fructose, glucose, protein, citric acid and vitamins, so it is very popular. It is rumored that pineapple is hot and humid, and eating too much will cause diarrhea. Actually, I think it's wrong. Because pineapple is rich in fiber, it can stimulate the intestine and accelerate peristalsis, so some people go to the toilet soon after eating pineapple. Medically, this fragrant fruit has astringent effect. Moderate consumption can not only prevent diarrhea, but also help to stop diarrhea. Li Shizhen, an ancient physician, even thought that pineapple could "strengthen the spleen and stomach and strengthen the vitality". This view is the same as modern scientific analysis. The pineapple cup rich in pineapple can decompose protein in the stomach and help digestion. However, it should be noted that some people are allergic to pineapple, so some western doctors will advise patients with sensitive trachea or bronchus to give up eating pineapple. Even ordinary people should soak the chopped pineapple in salt water to decompose some organic acids, reduce its toxicity and make the pulp more delicious. If you feel sore throat after eating pineapple, it is an allergic symptom. Stop eating immediately and drink a glass of light salt water to dilute the allergic ingredients. Please eat lemon. Lemon can also eliminate phlegm, and the effect of eliminating phlegm is stronger than that of oranges and citrus. Add warm water and salt to lemon juice, drink it and cough up the thick phlegm accumulated in your throat. It is very effective. At the beginning of a cold, you might as well wash it with lemon and honey, which can relieve sore throat and relieve the discomfort of dry throat. Lemon drink, lemon juice and lemon honey all have their own curative effects, and lemon tea is almost the same. It's not that lemon tea is invalid, but that black tea is brewed at high temperature. The effective component catechin in tea was destroyed, but the harmful substances increased. Moreover, tannic acid and citric acid in tea are quite acidic, and people with stomach diseases had better avoid drinking them, but for those with stomach diseases, a cup of lemon tea after meals can really help digestion. Lemons can also give birth, so they are called "mother and child". It can also be used for beauty, because its citric acid can remove spots and prevent pigmentation, and it is effective for both internal and external use. More domestic studies have pointed out that lemon can improve uterine anteversion, uterine ligament prolapse and even amenorrhea. Lime can lower blood pressure and cholesterol and improve cardiovascular disease. Like grapefruit, it contains an insulin-like ingredient, so eating it can lower blood sugar, which can be said to be a wonderful "medicine" for fruit. Litchi should know that litchi is something that nourishes blood, strengthens yang and reduces fire. Faced with this beautiful fruit like white jade, people with fever can only bear it. Gout and diabetes patients should not eat more. If you eat too much lychee, you can take one of the following teas to reduce the fire. Use Scrophularia 3 yuan (9g), Ophiopogon japonicus 3 yuan (9g) and three corduroy flowers to make a bowl with three bowls of water. Or eat cold watermelon and drink a bowl of lotus leaf and melon water, or turn down the fire a little. It is said that boiling water in litchi shell can cure the physical discomfort caused by eating litchi. Yang Guifei used this one-step method to eliminate the sequelae of litchi, such as nausea, limb weakness and dizziness. People with yin deficiency and heat or liver fire should remember that eating less lychee is better than eating more lychee. Those who are peaceful or deficient in cold can enjoy the fruits of Lingnan without worry. Coconut is a misunderstanding. Coconut is a treasure in tropical areas, which contains a lot of fat and protein. Picking ripe coconuts from trees at will can provide a good meal. Coconut meat is warm, which can replenish yang fire and strengthen the body. It is most suitable for people with weak body, weak limbs and easy fatigue, especially the coconut glutinous rice stewed chicken, which has a particularly good effect, because coconut meat, glutinous rice and chicken are nourishing, and the nourishing effect is more obvious when stewed. But people with high body heat should not eat coconuts often. If you sleep at night for a long time, you like to eat delicious fried food, and you are prone to lose your temper and thirst. Remember not to eat more coconuts. In addition, the sea coconut, which has always been famous for its freshness, is actually the same as the temperate zone. If you really love coconut fragrance, you can choose cool coconut water to cool off the heat, or add other ingredients to balance when making coconut dessert, such as Adenophora adenophora, lily, Dendrobium, etc., which can clear away heat and nourish yin; Adding winter melon seeds can purge lung fire; Adding cool tremella or clear yellow ear can neutralize the dryness of coconut. When you have a cold and cough, you might as well eat coconut meat, which has the functions of relieving cough, resolving phlegm and tonifying fire. If you don't know what a cold and cough is, ignore the symptoms such as weakness, itchy throat and no phlegm, and happen to drink cabbage soup, your cold gets worse and you cough incessantly, coconut meat or coconut stewed chicken can effectively alleviate these symptoms. Longan tonic is not suitable for everyone. After dried longan, the efficacy of nourishing blood and calming the nerves is greatly increased, which is of great therapeutic benefit to insomnia caused by blood deficiency. However, longan is not suitable for everyone whether it is eaten fresh or dried to make soup. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the combination of food taste and personal physique, and those who have internal heat and phlegm should not eat more. According to experience, gout patients who eat too much longan may cause joint swelling and pain, and asthma patients who have fever themselves may cause lung heat cough. People suffering from heat, phlegm fire, dermatosis and abdominal distension (excessive liver fire) should remember not to eat more longan. If you are peaceful, it is no problem to eat a handful of longan, and people with blood deficiency can even stew longan with brown sugar to supplement their health. However, when you suffer from exogenous diseases, you should avoid eating, because this warm and sweet fruit may trap internal heat and delay the illness. When coughing, whether it is cold cough or hot cough, please avoid eating it, because the characteristics of longan can make the internal heat more abundant and the deficiency cold upgrade. Although longan has the effect of nourishing blood and calming the nerves, only those who are deficient in qi and blood, that is, those who are easily flustered, heartbroken and tired, can enjoy longan as a diet therapy. Those who are too angry and hungry should not cross the line, or they will just wait for the dawn. Persimmons are all treasures. According to modern nutritional analysis, persimmons contain one or two times more vitamins and sugar than ordinary fruits. Ancient medical books think that persimmons can make up for fatigue, which may be the reason. According to "Compendium of Materia Medica", persimmon tastes sweet and cold, which can clear away heat, relieve annoyance, quench thirst, promote fluid production, moisten lung and eliminate phlegm, and treat heat cough. Persimmons can also be used as medicine to treat hiccups and nocturia. Persimmon leaves are more respected in Japan, and persimmon leaf tea made from persimmon leaf tea contains a lot of vitamin C necessary for human body. It is said that it can lower blood pressure, protect cardiovascular system and treat insomnia. It really deserves further study. Fresh persimmons are generally cold, so don't eat those that are weak, deficient in spleen and kidney, and cold due to exogenous factors. More importantly, persimmons are rich in tannins, so they taste very astringent. It is best to eat it without skin, so as not to affect the absorption of iron, or the food will solidify as soon as it is eaten in protein, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. On the contrary, persimmon is flat, can moisten the lungs and regulate qi, and can be used as fruit food or boiled papaya syrup. A thin layer of icing on persimmon is a specific medicine for sore throat, dry throat and stomatitis. Tomatoes are appetizing, but the medical book "Wet Poison" says: "Tomatoes are sweet and cool, which can quench thirst and strengthen stomach and digestion." However, what is not recorded in the medical books is that tomatoes are wet and toxic and are not suitable for patients with various skin diseases such as gout, rheumatic bone pain and eczema. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C. One gram of tomatoes contains about 25 milligrams of vitamin C. This vitamin C is protected by organic acids and is not easily destroyed after cooking, so it is easily absorbed by the human body. In addition, tomatoes can lower blood pressure and can be used as an auxiliary diet for patients with hypertension; Tomatoes can stimulate appetite, especially in summer, which can stimulate children's appetite. But it must be remembered that people with stomach deficiency and cold (easy to have loose bowels) and people with cold and cough (itchy throat and white phlegm) should not eat more raw tomatoes, and it is best to cook them before eating. As for patients with rheumatism and skin diseases, even cooked tomatoes should be eaten less. Personally, I have seen a patient with benign tumor in clinic, who was cured by Chinese medicine, but once I ate a lot of tomatoes, and the tumor recurred the next day? [like. Although this is only an individual case and is temporarily limited to folk observation, as long as this problem may occur, it is not appropriate to take risks with your body. Figs can cure ulcers. Figs are also called Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, Milk Berry and Fairy Fruit. According to medical books, they have many uses. The herbal medicine in southern Yunnan records "clearing the throat, opening the chest and diaphragm, resolving phlegm and resolving hard mass". "Herbal Supplement" refers to its "swelling and pain of five hemorrhoids, which is effective when decocted and smoked frequently. According to research, figs can accelerate wound healing and are quite effective for digestive tract ulcers. In addition, figs are rich in antioxidants and have anti-aging effects. Figs are also commonly used in folk prescriptions. Fresh figs can cure hemorrhoid bleeding. Patients with colorectal cancer can also use this prescription as an auxiliary medical treatment, because pectin and fiber contained in figs can swell when exposed to water and can absorb toxic substances in the intestines. People who have no disease and no pain eat it, and it also has the health care function of detoxification. Similar to apples, figs also have the function of regulating the stomach in two ways. People with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency can stop diarrhea. On the contrary, people with constipation can relax their bowels. Fresh or dried fruits are also acceptable. Roast figs and grind them into powder, which is helpful to the healing of gastric ulcer if taken regularly. In addition, the pulp contains many essential minerals and trace elements, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc and boron. Next time you cook soup, don't forget this "health ambassador". From the point of view of nutrition, banana is a beneficial fruit rich in starch, while from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, banana is sweet and cold, which can clear away heat and moisten intestines and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, but it is not suitable for diarrhea due to spleen deficiency. There is always a reasonable explanation for everything. Bananas are cold. According to the principle of "heat is cool", it is most suitable for people who are hot and dry. People with hemorrhoid bleeding and people with hot and restless fetus can eat raw banana meat. But it is precisely because bananas are cold that people who are prone to deficiency and cold had better avoid them. For example, people with stomach cold (light mouth and bloating), deficiency cold (diarrhea and dizziness), nephritis (also deficiency cold) and swollen feet during pregnancy, it is best not to eat bananas raw. Banana meat can't be eaten unless it is cooked, and its coolness is reduced. As for colds and coughs, bananas are not edible, but it is acceptable to steam bananas before eating. The folk prescription is more effective to treat chronic cough with banana stewed rock sugar; Cook wine with bananas as a diet. Modern medicine believes that banana can cure hypertension, because it is rich in potassium, which can balance the adverse effects of sodium and promote the growth of cells and tissues. Banana can be used to treat constipation because it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Most interestingly, German researchers said that bananas can cure depression and emotional anxiety because they can promote the secretion of endorphins in the brain. In short, people who are hot and dry can eat a banana a day, but if they are afraid of bananas catching cold, they can choose to eat banana (which has stronger laxative power) and imperial bananas. Guava, commonly known as "chicken excrement fruit", is also found in fruit stalls in Hong Kong. Medical books say that it is "sweet in taste and flat in nature", which can quench thirst, promote fluid production, relieve annoyance, stop diarrhea and kill insects. In fact, another pomegranate with the same name, Anpomegranate, has similar characteristics. The younger generation may not know what pomegranate is, but it is actually a fruit pomegranate used by men and women as gifts in the past (each pomegranate has at least one or two hundred seeds). Boiling pomegranate peel with brown sugar can eliminate dampness and stop diarrhea, which is very effective for chronic diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency. Collecting pomegranate roots, adding pomegranate peel and areca nut tablets is a common prescription for treating parasites in clinic. After taking it, parasites can be paralyzed, muscles stiff and excreted. This prescription is superior to chemical anthelmintics in that it contains no toxicity, and parasites are discharged only after poisoning, so adults and children can use it with peace of mind. There is also a prescription, which is to mix pomegranate peel and Xanthium sibiricum, bake it with charcoal, mash it and grind it into powder, and add edible oil to the inner ear to treat suppurative otitis media. An pomegranate can quench thirst, relieve annoyance, replenish essence and kidney, and regulate diabetes. Guava also has the same effect, but Du Chong's effect is weak. It should be noted that the formula of guava leaves and fruits (or pomegranate) can only control the blood sugar level, but can not cure diabetes. The main hypoglycemic prescriptions of guava are: (1) boiling water with immature guava fruits, leaves and citrus; (2) boiling guava with water or mixing it with pig pancreas to make soup; (3) The guava leaves and more than ten sweet potato leaves are decocted together. If guava is eaten as a fruit, people with liver heat should be careful to prevent constipation, because it has the effect of astringing and stopping diarrhea, and it is more appropriate to eat it in the core; Another feasible method is to eat it with other fiber-rich fruits (such as grapefruit).
