The content of vitamin C in most fruits is not high, and the content of other vitamins is limited. There are 13 kinds of vitamins, which come from many foods. It is extremely unwise to provide all vitamins only by fruits. For example, it is absolutely impossible to consume 5 kilograms of Fuji apples in order to meet the recommended amount of vitamin C in a day.
Fruits rich in vitamin c
Fruits rich in vitamin C include fresh dates, kiwis, hawthorn, grapefruit, strawberries and oranges. And apples, pears, peaches, apricots, bananas, grapes and other fruits that you usually eat are all low in vitamin C.
Carotene-rich fruit
Mango is the fruit with the highest carotene content. Yellow fruits such as citrus, apricot and pineapple also contain a small amount of carotene.
Traditional Chinese medicine introduces all kinds of fruits
An apple a day
Chinese medicine believes that it can "promote fluid production and moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite"; Nutritional analysis shows that apple contains the most fructose, and contains a variety of organic acids, pectin and trace elements. Apple pectin belongs to soluble fiber, which can not only promote cholesterol metabolism, effectively reduce cholesterol level, but also promote fat excretion. The French did an experiment in which a group of healthy middle-aged men and women ate two or three apples a day. A month later, their cholesterol levels were measured, and it was found that 80% of people's low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl, also called bad cholesterol) decreased. At the same time, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl is good cholesterol) has increased. Apple's help to the cardiovascular system can be seen. Potassium, a trace element contained in apples, can dilate blood vessels, which is beneficial to patients with hypertension. Zinc is also necessary for human body. When lacking, it will lead to disorder of blood sugar metabolism and decline of sexual function.
Eating apples raw can not only get the above benefits, but also regulate the stomach, because it is rich in fiber and helps to excrete. On the other hand, it is good for people with diarrhea to eat it, because malic acid has a astringent effect, but it should be noted that if it is chronic diarrhea with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, apples must be wrapped in tin foil, cooked or simmered before eating. Apples are rich in nutrition and low in calories, so they are very popular with dieters. In dietotherapy, boiling water with apple peel and ginger slices can stop vomiting. Using apples with pears can reduce the coldness of pears and have the effect of strengthening the lungs and moistening the stomach. In autumn syrup, some apples and pears are used, and lily 1 (30g), Dendrobium 5 (15g) and apricot 3 (9g) are added to moisten the lungs and relieve cough.
Eating papaya helps digestion.
Papaya is actually very good, but some people insist on not eating it because it tastes bad. Papaya is called "papaya" in China. As the name implies, eating more can prolong life. As for the reason, the ancient books did not say it clearly, but it is estimated that it is related to the enzymes contained in it.
It is reported that papaya contains enzymes similar to human growth hormone, and eating more can keep people young. Yeah, yeah, it needs to be verified. What is certain is that the proteolytic enzyme contained in papaya helps to decompose protein and starch, which is of great benefit to the digestive system.
Medical books say that "spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow", and eating fruit can help digestion and absorption, thus consolidating the spleen and stomach, which is really cost-effective. According to medical analysis, papaya is sweet, flat and slightly cold, which is helpful for digestion, relieving summer-heat, quenching thirst, moistening lung and relieving cough.
There are also some Chinese medicines, but this papaya is Sichuan papaya, also called Xuan papaya, not papaya sold in fruit stalls. Sichuan papaya tastes sour and slightly warm, and its main function is to eliminate dampness, relieve arthralgia, relax tendons and activate collaterals, which is most suitable for patients with rheumatic pain. As for papaya, eating it raw can relieve throat discomfort, and it is also helpful for colds, expectoration, constipation and chronic bronchitis. In diet therapy, cooked papaya and persimmon can be decocted in water to cure asthma and cough; Peel cooked papaya and add honey after steaming to cure lung dryness and cough; Juice or dry raw papaya and grind it into powder to repel insects. The most widely known is that papaya boiled fish tail or stewed pig's trotters can promote milk secretion.
Advantages and disadvantages of eating more watermelon.
Watermelon, also known as "natural white tiger soup", is cold and not suitable for pregnant women with stomach cold. Although the body is slightly hot and dry, people with weak foundation should not eat more. Otherwise, it is dizziness, boredom, and serious blood collapse. What really needs to eat watermelon to clear away heat and purge fire is a strong, really hot person. What's really spicy is usually loud, jealous and talkative. On the contrary, people with deficiency-heat like MISS ZHOU are prone to fatigue and dizziness, so watermelon should not be eaten too much. If you accidentally eat too much, you will feel dizzy, but a piece of ginger can save you. If you are not too strong and want to use watermelon to relieve summer heat, you can use Cui Yi (namely watermelon skin), lotus leaf and lotus leaf as the main materials, with lentils and raw coix seed. Make a bowl of heat-clearing and fire-purging soup. If the spleen and stomach are not good, cooked coix seed can be used to strengthen the spleen.
Pear with good heat-clearing property
Pear has been honored as the "Sect of Hundred Fruits" since ancient times, which can cure cough and moisten the lungs. It's a pity that everyone only knows its efficacy and ignores whether its nature is suitable for their own physique. Pear has the function of clearing heart and moistening lung, but it is cold. People with cold and cough due to deficiency should not eat it raw. They must be steamed with water, or put in soup, or stewed with herbs. The pears we often eat are cool, similar to small and exquisite fragrant pears and large tribute pears, while thick-skinned pears and imported pears are even cooler.
The most popular pear diet can be regarded as boiling sugar water or soup with apricots, pears and tremella, which is quite effective for dry mouth. However, it should be noted that this recipe is cold in pear and cold in snow ear, which is more suitable for people who need to clear away heat due to excess heat or deficiency fire. In case of physical weakness and cold, you don't need snow ears. If this prescription is slightly modified, it can strengthen the effect of 3 yuan (9g) Fritillaria cirrhosa on invigorating lung qi. If matched with lily, it can nourish yin and soothe the nerves.
Eating durian for tonic in deficiency of cold
Durian is hot and stagnant, so cancer patients or people after rehabilitation should not be greedy for delicious food for a while, which will lead to the deterioration of their condition. People suffering from skin diseases or liver fire due to yin deficiency should also avoid eating durian to avoid getting into trouble. The heat of durian can just strengthen yang and help fire. If postpartum deficiency is cold. Might as well use this as a tonic. But some people are sweating profusely, their limbs are weak, and some people are too weak to sleep, their faces are red and their mouths are dry. In the latter case, it is better to eat cherries instead. If you accidentally eat too much durian, you will be trapped in hot phlegm, breathing difficulties, blushing and bloating. You should eat a few mangosteen immediately, because mangosteen is a cold thing, which can inhibit the heat of durian.
Medicinal value of mango
Mango, one of the few fruits rich in protein, is easy to get full if eaten too much. Traditionally, it is believed that it can benefit the eyes and moisturize the skin, which should be the reason for containing carotene. Its nucleus can also be used as medicine, which can detoxify, eliminate food stagnation and lower blood pressure. According to the analysis of dietotherapy in traditional Chinese medicine, mango belongs to the fruit that is flat and sweet, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production. Eating raw can stop vomiting and cure seasickness, and the effect is the same as sour plum. People who are not used to sailing and have bumps and chest tightness may wish to take mango as a "medicine". When pregnant women feel bored, they can eat mango meat or mango soup. The only thing to note is that mango is wet and poisonous. If you have skin diseases or tumors, you should remember to avoid them.
Dampness is one of the six evils in traditional Chinese medicine. Skin diseases such as eczema, abscess and pus discharge, gynecological diseases such as leucorrhea, and internal medical diseases such as edema and beriberi can all be described as "dampness". People with wet constitution may get worse if they eat wet and poisonous foods such as mangoes.
When mango is not ripe, the pedicel will ooze white juice, which may be the cause of allergy. In any case, people who cough due to deficiency of cold (itchy throat with white phlegm) should avoid eating, so as not to make their throats itch. Asthma patients should also fast according to the doctor's advice. In fact, not only Chinese medicine has this charge, but also western medicine has included mango in the list of taboos for asthma. According to my personal experience, even if I don't have sensitive people, eating a few mangoes at a time will make me lose my voice instantly. Fortunately, the sequelae of dry throat and swollen lips can be solved immediately by gargling with light salt water. People who are sensitive and addicted to mangoes can eat dried mangoes to relieve their appetite.
Kiwi has a good way to prevent cancer.
Kiwifruit, which many people think is a special product of New Zealand, actually originated in China, and was originally named Xianhoutao, which was introduced to New Zealand only a century ago. Nowadays, kiwifruit suppliers vigorously promote that kiwifruit is rich in vitamin C, which is true. According to analysis, every 100g of fresh exotic pulp contains 100 to 300 mg (even more than 400 mg) of vitamin C, which is 20 to 80 times higher than that of apples and 5 to10 times higher than that of oranges.
No wonder kiwifruit is listed as an anti-cancer fruit in the Classic of Food Anti-cancer, because vitamin C, an antioxidant, can effectively prevent the carcinogen ammonium nitrite from forming in the human body. Scientists in Henan once did an experiment: taking 900 mg of vitamin C every day, the content of ammonium nitrite in urine decreased by 60%.
The medicinal value of Monkey Peach has been recorded in medical books of past dynasties in China. It is believed that it can "regulate middle-jiao and lower qi" and has the functions of nourishing and strengthening the body, clearing away heat and diuresis, invigorating the stomach and moistening dryness. As a folk prescription, eating 60 grams of monkey peach raw and peeled can cure internal heat and anxiety, and prevent scurvy, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and so on. The pharmacological action is that its vitamin C can prevent the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines, and its pulp can reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides. It is said that Monkey Peach has unique skills in treating digestive tract cancer and lung cancer. The root of the monkey peach also has medicinal effects. For some people, kiwifruit seems a little fruity and bitter after eating it. Eating while coughing may aggravate the condition, but I don't know if this is an allergy.
Mangosteen should not be eaten with cold foods such as watermelon, soybean milk, beer, Chinese cabbage, mustard, bitter gourd, wax gourd and lotus leaf soup. If you accidentally eat too much, you can cook ginger tea with brown sugar to solve it.
Pineapple can promote fluid production and strengthen the stomach.
It is said that pineapple was introduced into South China of China from Brazil in the16th century. Its pulp is soft, sweet and sour, and can stimulate appetite. In addition, it is rich in fructose, glucose, protein, citric acid, vitamins and other nutrients, which 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.
Buy you a lemon.
Lemon can also expectorate, and its expectorant effect 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.
Eat lychee when it is hot.
It should be noted that litchi is something for nourishing blood, strengthening yang and reducing 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 with litchi shells can cure the physical discomfort caused by eating litchi. Yang Guifei used this one-step method to eliminate the sequelae such as nausea, limb weakness and dizziness caused by litchi. 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 pure 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 due to 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 wet and poisonous.
There is a saying in the medical book: "Tomatoes are sweet and cool, which can produce saliva to quench thirst, strengthen the stomach and help 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 Impatiens. 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 should be decocted and smoked frequently to get the effect. 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. Eating figs raw 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".
Bananas lower blood pressure and relieve constipation.
From the perspective of nutrition, banana is a kind of beneficial fruit rich in starch, but from the perspective 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 people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea. There is always a reasonable explanation for everything. Bananas are cold, and according to the principle of "those who are hot are cold", they are 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 capable of removing dampness and relieving diarrhea
Guava, commonly known as "chicken excrement fruit", is also sold 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).
Clearing heart and moistening lung sugarcane
The use of sugarcane as medicine can really relieve the boredom of the heart, thirst and even the body fluid injury caused by fever, which can be solved by sugarcane.
However, remember to distinguish between two kinds of sugarcane. Black purple sugar cane, commonly known as black sugar cane, is mild and nourishing, and is not suitable for people with sore throat and fever. Green-peel cane, commonly known as bamboo cane, is sweet in taste, cool in nature, has the effect of clearing away heat, and can relieve lung heat and gastrointestinal heat.
For those with cough due to lung heat and thick yellow phlegm, bamboo cane juice can be mixed with pear juice to enhance the effect of moistening dryness and clearing lung. Bamboo cane and raw lotus root juice have the same effect. As for people who cough up blood due to lung heat, drinking it can relieve it. In addition, it is said that this prescription is also effective for urinary system infection, commonly known as hematuria.
Sugarcane juice itself is cold, and people with deficiency and cold constitution should not drink more. If people who have a cold and cough (white and thin phlegm) drink it by mistake, their condition may get worse immediately. It is said that steaming sugarcane before juicing can avoid this drawback, but the exact effect needs to be verified. On the contrary, bamboo cane with cogongrass rhizome and carrot boiled water does have the function of clearing heat, which is most suitable for children with watery eyes and bad temper. If you add water chestnut, you can often drink it when your child has chickenpox or measles, which can not only help the virus penetrate, but also speed up recovery. As the main source of sugar, there is no doubt about the rich nutritional value of sugarcane. If sugarcane juice is too monotonous, you can cook with sugarcane juice, which can be harmonious with your stomach and make your appetite open.
Cough caused by melon cough
Now we eat new strong cantaloupe, Lanzhou dense melon, American dense melon and wrinkled melon, which were collectively called "melons" in ancient times. According to ancient medical books, melon is sweet in taste and cold in nature, and Compendium of Materia Medica points out that it can "quench thirst, remove heat and facilitate urination". When it comes to the function of benefiting water, wax gourd is not as good as watermelon, but the degree of coldness is not equal.
However, the degree of coldness of various melons is different. Hami melon is not as cold as wrinkled melon, but it is not suitable for people who have a cold and cough (itching and thin phlegm). However, because they can clear away lung heat, people with a hot cough (sore throat, sandy and yellow phlegm) are most suitable for eating, which can relieve cough and promote lung qi.
As for Lanzhou honeydew melon and American honeydew melon, they are cooler than cantaloupe and wrinkled melon, and they are definitely not suitable for women who are prone to dizziness, irregular menstruation and excessive leucorrhea. Even the dessert made of honeydew melon, people with deficiency-cold constitution and asthma should not eat more. Both kinds of honeydew melons have a characteristic, which makes people warm when they are hot, and makes people cold when they are cold. Hot and dry people may have a cough after eating cantaloupe. The reason is that the "great cold" of honeydew melon meets the "great heat" in the body, and the two collide with each other, which makes the dry fire suddenly occur? B liters. For people with deficiency-cold constitution, if you eat honeydew melon, it will aggravate the coldness and aggravate the symptoms. Therefore, it is better to eat less.
Jujube can nourish and strengthen the body.
Jujube is a nutritious food, rich in protein and sugar. The most surprising thing is that its vitamin C content is 10 times higher than that of lemon. The nutrition of fresh jujube is not weak, because there is a special ingredient that can reduce the loss of vitamin C, and eating jujube can fill the stomach. There are several kinds of jujube, jujube, jujube and jujube. In terms of nutrition, several kinds of jujube are similar, but careful distinction shows that jujube and stomach width have the most obvious effect, jujube has the strongest blood-enriching ability, but it is also dry, while jujube tends to nourish yin and enrich blood. Some people say that red dates are dry and need to be pitted when cooking, but in fact, even if they are pitted, red dates are still dry. There is a prescription for chronic hepatitis. Abrus cantonensis (or Rabdosia rubescens) and Artemisia capillaris are boiled with red dates, which is cool and just neutralized, but it is still not advisable to drink too much. In the commonly used medical prescriptions, besides jujube and jujube, there is jujube for nourishing blood, while fresh jujube and golden jujube for moistening lung and nourishing stomach are purely eaten as fruits.
Because jujube has the function of dredging blood vessels and lowering blood pressure, if jujube is not used in the following antihypertensive drugs, other jujubes can be used instead:
1. One catty of celery and 20 pieces of jujube soup (one person's weight). 2. White-backed auricularia auricula 4 Liang (120g) (can dredge blood vessels), with 20 jujubes (one person).
Carambola specializes in throat treatment.
Raw carambola has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting fluid production and benefiting water. As a fruit diet, carambola is an expert in treating sore throat. I used to let many patients try to eat two or three carambolas every day, and the sore throat improved quickly. Analysis of its medical theory shows that when sore throat occurs, the body often has excess heat or deficiency heat. Carambola meat can relieve summer heat and produce body fluid, so it can relieve symptoms. However, not many people know this prescription.
In addition to the daily sweet and sour Singaporean varieties, carambola is also a small carambola from China, which is green in color and sour in taste. Some people call it Ren Shan. There is also a variety called barnyard grass, which is also called gangbarnyard grass. It is not the same variety as carambola. Its flowers are big and purple, and its fruit is purple-black, slightly smaller than grapes. It tastes sweet when cooked, but sour when it is not cooked. It's interesting in Shan Ye.
In fact, Ren Gang can tonify the kidney and nourish the liver, and its fruit has curative effect on diabetes, hepatitis and even cirrhosis. Boiling water with its roots can cure chronic nephritis. Now it has disappeared in the fruit market. The reason may be that there are few fine fruits, and they are hard to eat, which is disliked by spoiled city people. This is our treasure! In fact, there are many fruits that can strengthen the body and cure diseases. As long as you are a little more careful, plus a little knowledge of correct diet, it is really useful to life.
Cherry and grape, the champion of enriching blood and strengthening kidney.
Cherry and grape (also called cherry and raisin) are fruits that enrich blood, strengthen kidney and essence. Although cherry is petite and exquisite, its iron content is the highest among fruits, so it can replenish blood, which is true. People who suffer from anemia, low hemoglobin or need to strengthen yang and reduce fire can really benefit their mouths and stomachs by scraping cherries carefully. However, if the cherry is nourishing in temperate zone, it is better to eat less, and it is dry and sore throat. It is said that the virtual fire caused by cherry can be solved by drinking sugarcane juice, so try it.
As for grapes, they can nourish blood and kidney and keep fit. But its nature is much more peaceful than cherry, which will easily induce virtual fire. Patients with lung deficiency, cough, restless fetus and nephritis are especially suitable for eating grapes or drinking grape juice to nourish the body. Grapes are not only good for pulp, but also valuable for skin and core. The French always think that red wine is good for health, because the flesh, skin and core of grapes in wine, and their rich vitamins E, b 12, P and C are very beneficial to the heart and blood vessels.
In fact, cherry is also a treasure of the whole body. Its core can penetrate measles, so that measles virus will not be trapped in the body. Leaves can detoxify snake venom and roots can kill insects.
There are southern apricots and northern apricots.
Fresh apricots are rich in antioxidants such as protein and carotene, vitamins A and C, minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron, and catechins. It is not only nutritious, but also helps the human body to resist the invasion of carcinogens and free radicals. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, apricot is mild, sweet and sour, and dried fruit eaten raw has the effect of moistening lung and quenching thirst. However, Compendium of Materia Medica refers to its seeds. Bitter almonds (that is, northern apricots) contain hydrocyanic acid, which may be toxic or even fatal as long as you eat twenty or thirty pills, but this ingredient will decompose after heating, so there is absolutely no problem in putting soup or boiling sugar water.
Sweet apricot also contains hydrocyanic acid, but the amount is small, and its ability to relieve asthma and cough is also weak. Almond paste made from North and South apricots can help defecate, relieve cough and moisten the lungs. Almonds, which we use as snacks every day, have similar effects, but they are less effective.
In addition to hydrocyanic acid in apricot, Ginkgo biloba also contains a small amount of hydrocyanic acid, so it is not suitable to eat it raw in large quantities. But raw food has the effect of clearing away heat. If you want to try, you should limit yourself to eating more than ten pills. Ginkgo biloba leaves have the effects of lowering cholesterol (that is, dredging blood vessels), strengthening kidney and relieving cough. Those with deficiency cold can be decocted with slow fire, those with nocturnal urination can be decocted with slow fire and eaten with honey, and those with leucorrhea can be boiled with egg syrup. However, it should be noted that although yuba and ginkgo egg syrup are widely used now, they are not suitable for people with deficiency cold.
Peaches for nourishing blood and caring skin
Flat peaches or peaches are rich in meat, sweet juice and iron, which can increase the amount of hemoglobin in human body. Ancient legend has it that eating peaches often can "benefit color", which may be the reason behind it. However, although peaches are rich in nutrition and contain more fat and protein, the Compendium of Materia Medica has long stated that "it is not advisable to eat more". One is because peaches are warm, and eating too much will make people feel too hot inside. Second, it is nutritious, and if you eat too much, you will have bloating and chest tightness. Peach kernel also has the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving asthma and relieving cough. There is a prescription in Chinese medicine called Wuren decoction, which can moisten the intestines and relax the bowels and promote blood circulation. Ingredients include peach kernel, hemp seed, Prunus mume kernel, Platycladus orientalis kernel and almond, which is especially helpful for people with dry stool, stagnation of liver blood and amenorrhea. It should be noted that peach kernel can promote blood circulation and is not suitable for menorrhagia or menstrual period.
The gum from peach trees is a panacea for diabetes, which can not only strengthen the body, but also regulate the blood sugar level. But you can try fresh peach skin care products yourself. The secret recipe in the palace is to use peach blossom to boil water, wash your face, bathe and drink water. You can also use peach juice and rice washing water to moisturize your skin.
Grapefruit moistens lung and relieves cough.
It makes sense to say that grapefruit can help excretion, because this Mid-Autumn fruit is rich in fiber (natural laxative), vitamin C (natural laxative) and vitamin P, which can promote intestinal peristalsis. People who have diarrhea after eating grapefruit are mostly people with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency. Because their ability to absorb and transform food nutrition is weak, crude fiber grapefruit is in the stomach? It may be discharged before digestion, which will cause the illusion of so-called "damp heat".
In fact, grapefruit is peaceful in nature, and its main function is to moisten the lungs and relieve cough. Shatian pomelo produced in Guangxi and Xishi pomelo produced in Thailand have similar effects. Grapefruit is very popular, mainly because it is sweet and sour, fragrant and refreshing. Pectin contained in grapefruit can lower cholesterol, vitamin P can increase vascular elasticity, and vitamin C can relieve constipation and fight against aging free radicals. It is said that its juice also contains substances similar to insulin, which can lower blood sugar.
Pomelo peel, a famous dish in Guangdong, is effective in relieving depression and stagnation. People who often catch a cold, cough and have sensitive trachea can use a fresh pomelo to keep the skin and remove the core, one or two (30g) of Zhengbei apricot, Fritillaria and unbleached tremella (or yellow ear) each, and add a few bottles of honey (preferably honey that can moisten the lungs and relieve cough) for one day. Regular maintenance can enhance lung function.
Orange anticancer food
Oranges are almost synonymous with vitamin C. In fact, they are rich in vitamin C, which can enhance the body's resistance and expel fat-soluble harmful substances. It is a veritable anti-oxidant of Baoankang. However, in the eyes of Chinese medicine, this rutaceae fragrant wood plant is different? /
