Function: Drinking ginger soup is a popular folk method to dispel cold and prevent colds. Speaking of the benefits of ginger soup, Professor Yu Kang, director of the Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said: "In fact, the wonderful use of ginger soup goes far beyond this. In the first winter, patients with hypertension are prone to high blood pressure due to physical discomfort. When their blood pressure rises, they can soak their feet with hot Jiang Shui for about 15 minutes, which is helpful for blood circulation and blood pressure control. " Soaking feet with hot ginger soup can not only dispel cold and promote blood circulation, but also help people with smelly feet: add some salt and vinegar when soaking feet, dry them after soaking, and then apply some talcum powder to eliminate the odor.

Apart from catching a cold, sore throat is also a common problem in winter. If you drink hot Jiang Shui with a little salt as tea, drink it 2 ~ 3 times a day, and take it often to help resolve inflammation. For people with neurasthenia, Chinese medicine believes that drinking 1 bowl of hot ginger soup on an empty stomach every morning and evening can achieve the effect of invigorating qi, refreshing and improving sleep. If people with oral ulcers insist on gargling with hot ginger soup 2 ~ 3 times a day, long-term persistence will help to converge the ulcer surface.

Prepare ginger soup for your family in winter. It is best to buy fresh ginger, and don't freeze it before freezing. Ginger is taken from rhizome. Generally, we should choose fresh ginger with bright color, soft swelling and black skin without cracks. Don't choose ginger with wrinkles and dry hair. Washing ginger, removing water, sealing it with fresh-keeping bags or wrapping paper, refrigerating it in the refrigerator, or putting it in a vegetable basket at room temperature are all good ways to preserve ginger. If the surface is dry and the skin is slightly thick, it can be used after peeling. The epidermis of ginger has many nutrients. When cooking soup, you should cut it less or not to avoid the loss of nutrients.

Generally, you should choose fresh ginger with bright, soft and full appearance and no cracks on the epidermis, and don't choose wrinkled, dry and black hair. There are many nutrients in ginger skin. When cooking soup, cut it less or not to avoid the loss of nutrients. However, ginger is pungent and warm, and it is not suitable for long-term consumption for people with yin deficiency and excessive fire. Chinese medicine believes that ginger is warm and pungent, which can dispel wind, relieve exterior syndrome and dispel cold. Its unique "gingerol" can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, make the gastrointestinal tract congested, enhance digestion ability, and can effectively treat abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by eating too much cold food.

2 Effect and curative effect

have a poor appetite

If you drink ginger soup before meals, you can increase your appetite and promote nutrient absorption. [2]

air-condition disease

In the hot summer, many families and offices are air-conditioned, and people are prone to "air conditioning disease" while enjoying the cool breeze. Often manifested as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, cold, waist and shoulder pain and other symptoms. Chinese medicine believes that ginger has three functions: sweating, relieving exterior syndrome, warming stomach, stopping vomiting and detoxifying. People who have been in air-conditioned environment for a long time often drink ginger soup, which can effectively prevent and treat "air-conditioned diseases". If it is inconvenient to bring ginger soup to work, you can also bring some shredded ginger and brew it with boiling water, which can also resist the invasion of "air conditioning disease". Friends who like to drink tea add some green tea, which not only tastes good, but also is more conducive to health. In addition, ginger soup should not be too light or too strong, and drinking a bowl every day can play a role. You can also add a proper amount of brown sugar to ginger soup, because brown sugar has the functions of warming the middle warmer, soothing the liver, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating menstruation. Patients with severe symptoms can drink ginger soup as water. [3]

Treat abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

High temperature in midsummer, all kinds of germs are active in reproduction. If you are not careful, you will get sick from your mouth, which is easy to cause acute gastrointestinal inflammation such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking some ginger soup properly can play a preventive role. Ginger can play the role of some antibiotics, especially against salmonella.

cold

In summer, in order to escape the heat, people are used to blowing fans, turning on air conditioners and even sleeping outdoors, which can easily cause exogenous cold. If you can drink 1 bowl of brown sugar ginger soup in time, it will help to dispel cold and reduce fever, or you can get the same effect by soaking your feet with ginger soup (adding some salt and vinegar). However, for the wind-heat cold, the human body has already felt the heat evil. If we take warm ginger medicine at this time, it's like adding fuel to the fire, which is counterproductive. Therefore, the treatment of colds must be based on syndrome differentiation, and the method of "ginger soup covering sweat" cannot be used. [4]

The most important thing when catching a cold is to "eat according to your own constitution and time". Liao Guisheng, a Taiwanese doctor of traditional Chinese and western medicine who has studied dietotherapy, thinks that cold dietotherapy should change with the course of disease. Some foods are suitable for aftercare at ordinary times, but it is best not to eat when you are infected with inflammation or flu.

Gingerol and gingerol in ginger can sweat and drive away accumulated heat in the body, especially ginger with less water, which can better promote blood circulation. Adding brown sugar can supplement calories. But ginger soup is only suitable for people with exogenous cold, not suitable for drinking. Moreover, ginger can promote blood circulation. If there is inflammation or bleeding, don't eat it.

Some people think that you should eat more fruits during a cold. Liu Jianhui, a doctor at Tai 'an Hospital in Taiwan Province Province, said that it depends on personal circumstances. Eating more fruits can supplement vitamin C, but whether vitamin C can treat or prevent colds is still controversial.

Moreover, fruit juice or fruit is mostly cold, which may cause bronchial contraction and aggravate cough. Except for fever, it is not suitable for eating during a cold. In particular, fruits with more water, such as watermelons and pears, are cooler. If you cough, have a runny nose, have loose bowels, and your hands and feet are cold, it is easier to make your condition worse.

Inflammation or flu: pears, watermelons, sugar cane, coconut milk, onions, black bean soup, etc.

Generally, when there are inflammatory reactions such as sore throat, runny nose or thick yellow sputum, fever and high fever, it is not advisable to take tonics, such as ginseng, angelica, astragalus and sesame oil, so as to avoid adding fuel to the fire and aggravating the condition. Chinese medicine believes that cold fruits such as watermelons and pears have antipyretic effects and can be used to "reduce fire".

In addition, the onion and black bean soup recorded in ancient Chinese medicine books can not only relieve headache and stuffy nose, but also help people with fever. The practice is to take green onions and black beans to make soup. Scallion has the effect of sweating, in which malic acid and phosphoric acid can stimulate blood circulation, and the effect of sweating is faster than ginger soup; Fermented douchi can replenish protein in the body.

Prevent a cold

White radish and tea white radish have anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and diuretic effects, and are good natural anti-inflammatory drugs. In daily life, adding honey to raw radish juice can relieve sore throat after drinking. Harvard University in the United States also found in a study that people who drink five cups of black tea or green tea every day for two weeks will greatly enhance their immunity and drive away more than 10 times of cold and influenza viruses than people who don't drink tea. [5]

relieve the summer hea

Chinese medicine believes that ginger can "refresh the mind" (that is, refresh the mind). When fainting due to heatstroke in summer, drinking 1 cup of ginger juice can make patients wake up quickly. For patients with fever, dizziness, palpitation, chest tightness and nausea, it is also beneficial to eat ginger properly every day. [2]

Waist and shoulder pain

Summer heat is tough, some people like to take a bath or sleep outdoors, and their shoulders and backs will suffer from diseases such as wind, cold and dampness, especially the elderly are prone to scapulohumeral periarthritis. In this case, you can burn some hot ginger soup. First add a little salt and vinegar to the hot ginger soup, then dip the towel in water and wring it out. Hot compress the affected area several times. This method can relax muscles, promote blood circulation and greatly relieve pain.

Prevention of arteriosclerosis: gargling with hot ginger soup every morning and evening and drinking 1 bowl of hot ginger soup before going to bed every day can promote blood circulation and prevent arteriosclerosis.

Maternal health care

It is understandable for lying-in women to drink ginger soup in confinement, but the methods must be correct, otherwise it will bring some negative effects.

Chinese medicine believes that ginger is warm and pungent, which can dispel wind and relieve exterior syndrome, dispel cold and promote lochia discharge. But because ginger is pungent and warm, it can promote blood circulation. Eating too much will increase bloody lochia, make lochia endless, and the endometrium can not be well repaired, leading to anemia and postpartum weakness, so you can't eat ginger or ginger products immediately after childbirth. It should be timely, appropriate and moderate.

Maternal women can observe for themselves. If lochia turns pale yellow or white, it is an ideal time to eat ginger soup. But you can't drink a big bowl every day. Usually you can drink less than half a bowl of ginger soup every other day, not thick ginger juice. At the same time, the time to drink ginger soup should not be too long, generally lasting about 10 days. If lochia suddenly increases or the color turns bright red, you should temporarily stop using or reduce the amount of ginger soup.
