The name of the Emperor of South Song Guangzong was Zhao Dun, and the year number was "Shao Xi". During the reign of Shao Xi, Huang Guifei, the favorite of Song Guangzong, fell ill. She is sallow and emaciated and doesn't want to eat or drink. The doctor used many expensive drugs, but it didn't have any effect. When the emperor saw his beloved princess getting haggard, he was also sad all day. Finally, he had no choice but to post a list of doctors.
A quack revealed the list and entered the palace. After feeling Huang Guifei's pulse, he said, "As long as you use rock sugar and red fruits (that is, hawthorn), you will be fine within half a month after eating five to ten tablets before meals." At first, everyone was skeptical, but fortunately, this diet was also to the taste of the imperial concubine. After taking it in this way, the imperial concubine recovered as scheduled. Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people strung it together and sold it, which became a sugar-coated gourd.
Taboos in sugar-coated haws
1. Many people often have no taboos when eating candied haws. They usually eat when they want, which is also very wrong. Especially some people who like to eat candied haws before meals should pay special attention. Although sugar-coated haws are sour and sweet, they can increase appetite, but they can't increase appetite, but will lead to impaired gastrointestinal function. Experts remind that it is best not to eat hawthorn on an empty stomach, so as not to affect the normal digestion and absorption function of the stomach.
2. If there is something wrong with your teeth, you should also pay attention to eating less candied haws in your daily life. Especially for young children, if you eat too many candied haws, it will easily lead to symptoms such as tooth decay and dental caries. Therefore, for children, parents should try to avoid letting them eat too much hawthorn.
3. Patients with spleen and stomach weakness should also pay attention to eating sugar-coated haws as little as possible in daily life. There is a record in Materia Medica: "Eating more hawthorn is not good for the spleen and stomach." Therefore, people with digestive disorders should try to eat less of this kind of food.
