Extended information:
Three groups of people should not eat arrowroot:
1, people with severe body cold and dampness: Pueraria lobata powder is a cooling food. People with cold body and severe dampness will aggravate the accumulation of cold air in the body and easily cause physical discomfort. Eating and drinking some hot food and tea can dispel the cold in the body, such as longan, hawthorn, walnut, peanut, almond, black tea, oolong tea, etc.
2. Patients with hypotension: Because the puerarin component contained in Pueraria lobata powder can dredge blood vessels and lower blood pressure, patients with hypotension are not suitable to eat Pueraria lobata powder.
3. Patients with hypoglycemia: This is also the reason for puerarin. Since it can lower blood sugar while lowering blood pressure, patients with hypoglycemia should not eat puerarin powder. Eating more brown rice, vegetables, konjac, lean meat and cereals can greatly increase blood sugar levels. It is best to quit smoking and drinking, which can quickly restore blood sugar levels.
