Recently, Korean research pointed out that garlic not only has anti-cancer and antibacterial effects, but also has unexpected effects in controlling obesity. The research team of a Korean professor conducted experiments on animals and reached a conclusion.
The research team conducted a four-day experiment on mice. According to the experimental results, the daily gain of mice fed with high-fat food and garlic juice is 0.09 g, while that of mice fed with high-fat food only is 0.20 g.
Compared with mice that only eat high-fat food, mice that only eat garlic juice have less than half of leptin protein, which can lead to obesity. Experts pointed out that the effect of processed garlic is slightly worse than that of raw garlic, but it is better for the body because of its weak irritation.
There is a good proverb: "It is better to be comfortable than to be in jiaozi." It is said that the winter solstice is as big as a year. Needless to say, jiaozi is indispensable.
Every year, during the winter solstice of the Lunar New Year, jiaozi is an indispensable holiday feast for both the rich and the poor. This custom was left in memory of Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", who gave up medicine from the winter solstice. ?
Zhang Zhongjing is from Gedong, Nanyang. Treatise on Febrile Diseases, written by him, is a masterpiece of doctors and is regarded as a classic by doctors in past dynasties. Zhang Zhongjing has a famous saying: "if you advance, you will survive;" If you retreat, you will save the people; " You can't be a good doctor and you can't be a good doctor. "
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he served as the magistrate of Changsha, visiting the sick and taking medicine, and practicing medicine in the lobby. Later, he resolutely resigned and went back to his hometown to treat his neighbors. When he got home, it was already winter. He saw that the villagers on both sides of the Baihe River were sallow and emaciated, hungry and cold, and many people's ears were frozen.
Let his disciples set up a medical shed in Dongguan, Nanyang, and set up a cauldron to treat frostbite on the winter solstice. He boiled mutton, pepper and some herbs for dispelling cold in a pot, then took out mutton and medicine and chopped them up, making ear-shaped dumplings with bread. After cooking, he distributed two horns and a big bowl of broth to everyone who came to ask for medicine.
People ate "Joule" and drank "Quhan Decoction", and they were all hot, their ears were hot, and their frostbitten ears were cured. Later generations learned the appearance of Joule and packaged it into food, also called "jiaozi" or "flat food". When you eat jiaozi on the solstice in winter, you will never forget the kindness of Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", in "Quhan Joule Decoction".
