Many people buy Maca. Many friends buy Maca as a supplement. But most people don’t know how to eat maca. There is a famous saying in traditional Chinese medicine: "Rhubarb is a tonic when used properly, but ginseng is poison when used improperly." Blindly tonic will often break the balance of yin and yang in qi, blood, and yin and yang. Do not fall into the following four misunderstandings when eating maca:
1. Not allowed to be consumed by minors
Consuming Maca too early by minors will lead to excessive secretion of hormones, excessive secretion of sex hormones, premature puberty, and premature cessation of bone growth. Among the indigenous tribes in the jungles of South America, there is a rule that teenagers under the age of 16 are not allowed to eat maca.
2. Don’t eat too much
The sterols and saponins in Maca are precursors of various hormones and can stimulate hormone synthesis in the body. However, excessive consumption will lead to excessive hormone synthesis in a short period of time, which will lead to excessive desire, excessive sexual desire and damage to the kidneys. Soldiers of the ancient Inca Empire in South America consumed large amounts of Maca before the war to increase hormone secretion and increase the soldiers' combat effectiveness. However, once the city was captured, the soldiers were prohibited from eating Maca to prevent sexual excitement from harming women.
3. Not suitable for consumption alone
The most important thing about dietary supplements is to pay attention to the combination. The main and auxiliary phase formula can enhance the effect of the main prescription, which is the king and minister in Chinese medicine. In particular, modern people's lifestyles are diversified, and the movement of essence in the body is also constantly changing. It is not enough to rely solely on one recipe to maintain health. It is necessary to diversify the ingredients and coordinate them to get twice the result with half the effort.
4. It is not advisable to consume it at inappropriate times
Many people are accustomed to consuming Maca when they wake up early in the morning. In fact, this habit is not scientific. People are in a state of hunger during sleep. In order to conserve energy, each gland rarely secretes hormones in the morning. Therefore, taking Maca in the morning is not easy to be absorbed. The best time to take Maca should be after lunch or dinner, especially after lunch or dinner. The human body's hormone secretion is at its strongest at 9 p.m., so the best time to take Maca is after dinner.
So how to consume Maca is the most healthy and scientific way? Maca is known as a hormonal engine, stimulating people's vitality. A good engine must be equipped with good fuel. The most important thing in traditional Chinese medicine’s health care is to store essence, and the kidney is the place where essence is stored. The essence in the kidney is the basic substance for maintaining the human body. It is the foundation of innateness and the source of life. Modern people, regardless of gender, are very prone to kidney deficiency and do not pay attention to it. Maintenance can easily lead to insufficient kidney qi, leading to a series of diseases and aging phenomena. Therefore, everyone must remember that maintaining health requires nourishing the kidneys. Maca must be taken with kidney-nourishing foods at the same time in order to achieve the purpose of helping the emperor and his ministers.
Many people keep their health blindly and buy whatever products they hear are popular to replenish their health. In fact, this is unscientific.
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the five internal organs of a person correspond to the five colors, and black food is the most nourishing to the kidneys. This Maca Eight Black Guyuan Powder specially selects eight kinds of black foods, including black beans, blood glutinous rice, rye, black sesame, tartary buckwheat, black dates, black fungus, and mulberry, to match with Maca. Each of the ingredients is selected. and ingredients are selected by nutrition experts based on repeated demonstrations and content of different black foods. Using Maka as the "lord" to quickly activate the body's functions, and using Bahei as the "minister" to store essence and nourish the kidneys, it also acts on the human body to provide a steady stream of energy for the "hormonal engine" of Maka.
