Why do some people say that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer is to compete with arsenic in winter?
The principle of eating more ginger in summer is that gingerol in fresh ginger can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food, has a certain stimulating effect on the heart and blood vessels, can accelerate the heartbeat, accelerate blood circulation, open sweat pores, and take away the residual heat in the body with sweat excretion, which is beneficial to heatstroke prevention and cooling. In addition, eating ginger in summer has many benefits, such as sterilization and detoxification, anti-motion sickness and vomiting, anti-oxidation and anti-cancer. Phoenix Chinese medicine reminds everyone that ginger is healthy, but it needs to be eaten correctly! "Eating ginger at night is equal to eating arsenic" is correct. Every day is cloudy and sunny. From midnight, the yang in nature gradually rises, and it is the most vigorous at noon. In the afternoon, the yang gradually weakened, until midnight, the yang was the weakest and the yin was the heaviest. After midnight, Yang gradually came to his senses. Chinese medicine believes that man corresponds to nature, and when the sun is strong during the day, people should be more active. Eating warming drugs can help yang to grow hair, and you can take positive (warming) foods, such as ginger. At night, the yin will gradually flourish, and the yang will converge, and I can no longer be as excited as during the day. At this time, if you eat too much warm food or supplements, it will affect your sleep and the body's anabolism, which is not conducive to self-repair after physical fatigue and is harmful to your body. Therefore, in general, it is beneficial to eat ginger during the day, but it is not suitable for eating ginger at night. In addition, people's physique is different from that of cold and heat. People who are full of heat often feel that their bodies have various manifestations of heat. This kind of people should not eat ginger during the day and night, but should eat more raw and cold food. People who have a cold often feel cold all over or are afraid of cold. If drinking ginger soup at night can drive away the cold, they will be warm and sleep well, and they are also suitable for eating more warm food at ordinary times. Therefore, the so-called "eating ginger at night is equal to eating arsenic" is not completely accurate. The use of food and drugs has corresponding indications. Proper use is good medicine, and improper use is like arsenic.
