Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "radish is eaten in winter and ginger is eaten in summer". Ginger contains volatile oils such as gingerol, gingerol, phellandrene, citral and aroma, as well as gingerol, resin, starch and fiber. In hot season, it has the functions of excitement, perspiration, cooling and refreshing, and can relieve fatigue, fatigue, anorexia, insomnia, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms.
Pregnant mothers have a good appetite for ginger in summer.
Eating ginger in summer for pregnant women also has the function of strengthening stomach and stimulating appetite. Because of the hot summer climate, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice will be reduced, which will affect people's appetite, especially for pregnant mothers in the early pregnancy. If they eat a few slices of ginger at dinner, they will increase their appetite. However, pregnant women should pay attention not to eat too much ginger at a time, so as not to absorb a large amount of gingerol, which will lead to * * kidneys in the process of renal excretion, and produce symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat and constipation.
There are many ways to eat ginger, such as drinking ginger soup, eating ginger porridge, adding shredded ginger when cooking hot oil, adding ginger slices to stewed meat and fried fish, and adding shredded ginger when making flat food and dumpling stuffing, which can not only make the taste delicious, but also help to wake up the stomach and spleen, refresh the mind, promote appetite, help digestion and help gastrointestinal absorption of nutrients. However, since ginger has pharmacological effects, we should pay attention to some of its usage and taboos, and the following questions should be paid attention to:
1, do not peel. Some people like to peel ginger, which can't give full play to the overall effect of ginger. Ordinary fresh ginger can be shredded and sliced after it is washed.
2. Anyone who suffers from excessive fire due to yin deficiency, red eyes and internal heat, or who suffers from carbuncle, swelling, furuncle, pneumonia, lung abscess, tuberculosis, gastric ulcer, cholecystitis, pyelonephritis, diabetes and hemorrhoids should not eat ginger for a long time.
3. From the point of view of treatment, ginger brown sugar water is only suitable for patients with cold stomach and fever after cold or rain, but it can't be used for patients with summer cold or wind-heat cold, but it can't be used to treat heatstroke. Taking fresh ginger juice can cure vomiting caused by cold, but not for other types of vomiting.
4. Don't eat rotten ginger. Rotten ginger will produce a very toxic substance, which can denature and necrosis liver cells, thus inducing liver cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. The saying that "rotten ginger doesn't stink" is wrong.
5, eating ginger is not the more the better. In hot summer, people are prone to dry mouth, polydipsia, sore throat and excessive sweating. Ginger is pungent and warm, and it is a hot food. According to the principle of "heat is cold", it is not advisable to eat more. You can put a few slices of ginger when cooking or making soup.
When is it good for pregnant mothers to eat ginger in summer?
In fact, when to eat Jiang Ye in a day is very particular. There is an old saying: "Eat ginger early and tonify the soup. Eat ginger in the afternoon, and you will be ill with consumption (qiāng). Eat ginger at night and see the king of hell. " Why?
"Eat ginger early and tonic soup"
If you eat ginger for daily health care, you must eat it at breakfast. Because the morning is the time when qi and blood flow into Yangming's stomach meridian, eating ginger at this time just produces stomach qi and promotes digestion. Moreover, ginger is pungent and warm, which can speed up blood flow and has refreshing effect.
How to eat? It's best to prepare a dish of soaked ginger at breakfast (usually sold in big supermarkets, of course, it's ok to cook it yourself) and eat it with millet porridge. The soaked ginger tastes crisp and tender, with a little bit of sour, spicy and sweet at the entrance, and the fragrance of porridge is simple and refreshing ~ ~ ~ This is the most nourishing diet, and its effect is far better than that of tonic soup.
"Eat ginger in the afternoon, and you will be sick."
Many people know that ginger should not be eaten at night. In fact, not only at night, but after noon, you should not eat ginger.
Don't eat ginger after noon, or you will easily hurt your lungs. China people keep in good health and pay special attention to adapting to the weather. The yang of nature reaches its peak at noon. Prosperity will decline, yin qi will begin to rise in the afternoon, and yang qi will begin to converge. Ginger is yang-generating, so it is naturally inappropriate to eat it in the afternoon. At noon, the blood in the heart meridian is the most abundant. Eating ginger at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for those who are angry. If the heart fire is too strong, the lungs will suffer, which will cause various symptoms such as cough, asthma and phlegm heat.
"Eat ginger late and die."
Why can't I eat ginger at night? Ginger is the sun's spirit. At night, the human body should nourish yin and restrain the sun's spirit. Eating ginger is counterproductive and goes against the weather. Eating ginger at this time has several major hazards:
First, it makes people excited and can't sleep well.
Second, the * * * nerve affects the heart function.
Third, stagnation of internal fire consumes lung yin and hurts kidney water.
How do pregnant mothers choose ginger that suits them?
When picking ginger, you need to pay attention to three points:
1, don't pick the appearance is too clean, the surface is flat.
2, pinch by hand, buy a firm meat, not tender, fresh ginger buds.
3, you can also smell it with your nose. If there is a faint smell of sulfur, don't buy it.
Why do you want tender ginger to stir-fry and old ginger to make soup?
1, tender ginger has a small spicy taste and a crisp taste, which can generally be used for cooking and pickling into sugar ginger and other foods. For example, fried shredded beef with ginger makes the beef tender and smooth, and the light spicy taste of tender ginger is just right.
2. Ginger tastes spicy and is generally used as a condiment. Ginger is more suitable for soup and stew. Ginger has high medicinal value. If you prevent colds, you must use ginger, which is why it is said that "ginger is still old and spicy".
