I believe that both rural areas and cities are familiar with hawthorn, because it is something that we can often see and eat in our lives. The Sugar-Coated Berry we eat in winter, the canned hawthorn we eat, and the hawthorn cake are all made of hawthorn. Even when we cook or drink tea, we put some hawthorn for seasoning. But how much do we know about the efficacy and function of hawthorn? Let's find out now!

1, Jianwei Xiaoshi, this effect is basically known to everyone. Hawthorn tastes sweet and sour, which can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, improve the acidity of gastric acid, strengthen the activity of pepsin and promote the decomposition and digestion of protein. And hawthorn contains vitamin C, which can improve people's appetite, and contains lipase, which can promote human body's digestion of fat.

2. Hypolipidemic effect: Hawthorn flavonoids in Hawthorn has a very significant effect on reducing the synthesis of cholesterol in people's liver, and at the same time, it can strengthen the intake of plasma cholesterol by the liver, thus achieving the effect of reducing blood lipids.

3. It has obvious protective effect on myocardial ischemia. Hawthorn flavonoids and hydrolysate of hawthorn can increase the nutritional blood flow of ischemic myocardium, especially the effect of hydrolysate is very significant. At the same time, it can also reduce the oxygen consumption of myocardium and improve the utilization rate of oxygen.

4, hawthorn has a certain antibacterial effect, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus and so on!

However, hawthorn is good, but there are also some precautions:

1, pregnant women are forbidden to eat, so as not to induce abortion. 2. People with low blood sugar can't eat hawthorn. 3, you can't eat hawthorn on an empty stomach, because hawthorn will promote the secretion of gastric acid and increase people's hunger. 4, raw hawthorn can not be eaten, easy to produce stomach stones.
