What are the benefits of eating ginger? Can I eat it in winter?

Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, without a doctor's prescription. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine and folk have said that "ginger can cure all diseases". Because ginger contains gingerol, gingerol, phellandrene, citral, spices and other oily volatile oils; There are also gingerol, resin, starch and fiber. Therefore, ginger has the functions of excitement, perspiration, coolness and refreshing in hot season; Can relieve fatigue, fatigue, anorexia, insomnia, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms; Ginger also has the function of strengthening the stomach and appetizing. In hot summer, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice will be reduced, which will affect people's appetite. If you eat a few slices of ginger for dinner, it will increase your appetite; Ginger can also relieve or relieve stomach pain. The pain, vomiting, pantothenic acid and hunger caused by gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcer can be quickly eliminated by drinking 50 grams of ginger water.

In summer, the growth and reproduction of bacteria are extremely active, which easily pollutes food and causes acute gastroenteritis. But eating some ginger or taking it with dried ginger and tea in boiling water can play a preventive role. Scientists have found through research that ginger can play the role of some antibiotics, especially for salmonella. Ginger also has the function of killing oral pathogens and intestinal pathogens. Washing with Jiang Shui is effective in treating halitosis and periodontitis.

In summer, people are greedy for coolness and like to use electric fans and air conditioners. It is easy to feel cold and cause a cold. At this time, drinking ginger syrup in time will help to discharge the cold in the body. Chinese medicine believes that ginger can "connect the mind", that is, refresh the mind. When heatstroke faints in summer, a glass of ginger juice can make patients wake up quickly. For patients with general summer heat, which is manifested as dizziness, palpitation, chest tightness and nausea, it is of great benefit to eat ginger soup properly.

There are many ways to eat ginger. Drinking ginger soup, eating ginger porridge, adding shredded ginger when heating oil, adding shredded ginger when stewing meat, frying fish, adding shredded ginger when making flat food and stuffing dumplings can not only make the taste delicious, but also help to wake up the stomach and strengthen the spleen, refresh the mind, promote appetite, help digestion and help the stomach absorb nutrients. However, since ginger has pharmacological effects, we should pay attention to some of its usages and taboos, and pay attention to the following issues:

1. Don't peel it. Some people like to peel ginger, which can't give full play to the overall effect of ginger. Ordinary fresh ginger can be shredded and sliced after washing.

2. Anyone suffering from excessive fire due to yin deficiency, red eyes and internal heat, or carbuncle, furuncle, pneumonia, lung abscess, tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, cholecystitis, pyelonephritis, diabetes and hemorrhoids should not eat ginger for a long time.

3. From the point of view of treatment, ginger brown sugar water is only suitable for patients with cold stomach and fever after a cold or rain, but not for patients with cold or wind-heat cold in summer, let alone for treating heatstroke. Taking fresh ginger juice can cure vomiting caused by cold, but it is ineffective for other types of vomiting.

4. Don't eat rotten ginger. Rotten ginger will produce a very toxic substance, which can denature and necrosis liver cells, thus inducing liver cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. The saying that "rotten ginger doesn't stink" is wrong.

Eating ginger is not the more the better. In hot summer, people are prone to dry mouth, polydipsia, sore throat and sweating. Ginger is spicy and warm, and belongs to hot food. According to the principle of "heat is cold", it is not advisable to eat more. You can put a few slices of ginger when cooking or making soup.
