The content of vitamin C in most fruits is not high, and the content of other vitamins is even more limited. There are 13 kinds of vitamins, which come from many kinds of foods. It is extremely unwise to provide all vitamins by fruit alone. For example, to meet the recommended amount of vitamin C in human body for one day, it is absolutely impossible to consume 5 kilograms of Fuji apples.
Fruits rich in vitamin c
Fruits rich in vitamin C include fresh dates, kiwis, hawthorn, grapefruit, strawberries, oranges, etc., while apples, pears, peaches, apricots, bananas, grapes and other fruits that are often eaten at ordinary times have very low vitamin C content.
Carotene-rich fruit
Mango is the fruit with the most carotene. Yellow fruits such as citrus, apricot and pineapple also contain a small amount of carotene.
Introduction of all kinds of fruits by traditional Chinese medicine
An apple a day
Chinese medicine believes that it can "promote fluid production and moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite"; Nutritional analysis shows that apple contains the most fructose, and contains a variety of organic acids, pectin and trace elements. Apple pectin belongs to soluble fiber, which can not only promote cholesterol metabolism, effectively reduce cholesterol level, but also promote fat excretion. The French did an experiment in which a group of healthy middle-aged men and women ate two or three apples a day. After one month, their cholesterol levels were measured, and it was found that 80% of people's low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, also called bad cholesterol) was reduced. At the same time, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL is good cholesterol) has increased. Apple's help to the cardiovascular system can be seen. Potassium, a trace element contained in apples, can dilate blood vessels, which is beneficial to patients with hypertension, and zinc is also necessary for human body. When it is lacking, it will lead to disorder of blood sugar metabolism and decline of sexual function.
Eating apples raw can not only get the above benefits, but also regulate the stomach, because it is rich in fiber and helps to excrete. On the other hand, it is good for people with diarrhea to eat it, because malic acid has astringent effect, but it should be noted that if it is chronic diarrhea of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, the apple must be wrapped in tin foil and cooked or simmered before eating. Apples are rich in nutrition and low in calories, so they are very popular with dieters. In dietotherapy, boiling water with apple peel and ginger slices can stop vomiting. Using apples with pears can reduce the cold of pears, and it has the effect of strengthening and moistening the lungs and stomach. In autumn syrup, use several apples and pears, add lily 1 2 (30g), Dendrobium 5 yuan (15g) and apricot 3 yuan (9g) to moisten the lungs and relieve cough.
Eating papaya helps digestion.
Papaya is actually very beneficial, but some people insist on not eating it because it tastes bad. Papaya is known as "Chaenomeles" in China. As the name implies, eating more can prolong life. As for the reason, the ancient books are not explicit, but it is estimated that it is related to the enzymes contained in it.
It is reported that papaya contains enzymes similar to human growth hormone, and eating more can keep people young. Yeah, yeah, it needs to be verified. The only certainty is that the proteolytic enzymes contained in papaya help to decompose protein and starch, which is of great benefit to the digestive system.
As the medical book says, "Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow", eating fruit can help digestion and absorption, thus consolidating the spleen and stomach, which is really cost-effective. According to medical analysis, papaya is sweet, flat and slightly cold, which can help digestion, relieve summer heat and thirst, moisten the lungs and relieve cough.
There are also some traditional Chinese medicines, but this papaya is Sichuan papaya, also known as Xuan papaya, and it is not a papaya sold in fruit stalls. Sichuan Chaenomeles is sour in taste and slightly warm in nature, and its main function is to dispel dampness and arthralgia, relax muscles and tendons and activate collaterals, which is most suitable for patients with rheumatic pain. As for papaya, eating it raw can relieve throat discomfort, and it is also helpful for colds, expectoration, constipation and chronic bronchitis. In diet therapy, cooked papaya and persimmon can be decocted with water to cure asthmatic cough; Peeling cooked papaya and adding honey after steaming can cure lung dryness and cough; Squeeze raw papaya or dry it in the sun and grind it into powder to repel insects. The most well-known thing is that papaya boiled fish tail or stewed pig's trotters can promote milk secretion.
Advantages and disadvantages of eating more watermelon
Watermelon, also known as "natural white tiger soup", is cold in nature, and it is not suitable for pregnant women with cold stomach. Although the body is slightly hot and dry, people with weak foundation should not eat more. Otherwise, it is dizzy and stuffy, and it is as serious as a blood collapse. What really needs to eat watermelon to clear away heat and purge fire is a strong and real hot person. Those who are really hot are generally loud, jealous and have a breath. On the contrary, people who are deficient in heat like MISS ZHOU are prone to fatigue and dizziness, so it is not advisable to eat too much watermelon. If you accidentally eat too much, you will feel dizzy, but you can save it with a piece of ginger. If you are not too strong and want to use watermelon to relieve summer heat, you can use Cuiyi (namely watermelon skin), lotus leaves and lotus leaves as the main materials, with lentils, raw coix seed, etc., to make a bowl of heat-clearing and fire-purging soup. If the spleen and stomach are not good, cooked coix seed can be used to strengthen the spleen-strengthening effect.
Pears with good heat-clearing properties
Pears have been honored as the "Sect of Hundred Fruits" since ancient times, which can cure cough and moisten the lungs. It's a pity that everyone only knows its efficacy and ignores whether its nature is suitable for their own physique. Pears are good for clearing the heart and moistening the lungs, but they are cold in nature. People with deficiency cold and cold cough should not eat them raw. They must be steamed through water, or put in soup, or stewed with herbs. The pear we often eat is cold, which is similar to the small and exquisite fragrant pear and the larger tribute pear, while the thick-skinned pear and imported pear are even colder.
The most popular pear diet can be regarded as boiling sugar water or soup with apricot, pear and tremella, which is quite effective for dry mouth. However, it should be noted that the pears in this recipe are cold and the snow ears are cold, which is more suitable for people who have real heat or need to clear away heat due to deficiency fire. In case of body deficiency and cold, you don't need snow ear. If this recipe is slightly changed, it can strengthen the effect of tonifying lung qi with 3 yuan (9 grams) of Fritillaria cirrhosa. If matched with lily, it can nourish yin and soothe the nerves.
Deficiency cold tonic eating durian
Durian is hot and stagnant in nature, so cancer patients or recovered people should not be greedy for a moment to eat delicious food and cause their condition to deteriorate. People suffering from skin diseases or liver heat due to yin deficiency should also abstain from eating durian to avoid trouble. The heat of durian is just enough to strengthen yang and help fire. If postpartum deficiency is cold. Might as well use this as a tonic. However, some people are sweating profusely, their limbs are weak, and some people are too weak to sleep, and their faces are red and their mouths are dry. In the latter case, it is better to eat cherries instead. If you accidentally eat too much durian, you will be trapped in the hot phlegm, have difficulty breathing, have a red face and have a bloated stomach. You should eat a few mangosteen immediately, because mangosteen is a cold thing, which can restrain the heat of durian.
Medicinal value of mango
Mango, one of the few fruits rich in protein, is easy to get full if you eat more. Traditionally, it can benefit the eyes and moisturize the skin, which should be the reason for containing carotene. Its nucleus can also be used as medicine, which can detoxify, eliminate stagnation and lower blood pressure. According to the analysis of Chinese medicine dietotherapy, mango belongs to the fruit which is flat and sweet, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production. Raw food can stop vomiting and cure seasickness, and its effect is the same as sour plum. Those who are not used to sailing, suffering from bumps and chest tightness, might as well take mango as "medicine." When pregnant women feel bored, they can eat mango meat or eat it with mango decoction. The only thing to note is that mango is wet and toxic. If you have skin diseases or tumors, you should remember to avoid eating.
Dampness is one of the six pathogenic factors in traditional Chinese medicine. Skin diseases such as eczema, abscess and pus discharge, gynecological diseases such as leucorrhea, and internal diseases such as edema and beriberi can all be described as "wet". People with wet constitution may worsen the situation if they eat wet and poisonous food such as mango.
When mango is not ripe, white juice will ooze from the pedicel, which may be the cause of sensitization. In any case, people with cough due to deficiency-cold (itchy throat with white phlegm) should avoid eating, so as not to make the throat itch. Asthma patients should also follow the doctor's instructions to abstain from eating. In fact, not only Chinese medicine has this charge, but also western medicine has included mango in the list of taboos for asthma. According to my personal experience, even if I don't have sensitive person, eating a few mangoes at a time will make me lose my voice instantly. Fortunately, the sequelae of dry throat and swollen lips can be immediately solved by gargling with light salt water. Those who are both sensitive and addicted to mangoes can eat dried mangoes to relieve their cravings, which is both appetizing and stagnation.
Kiwi fruit has a good way to prevent cancer
Kiwifruit, which many people think is a special product of New Zealand, actually originated from China, and was originally named Xianhoutao, which was introduced into New Zealand only a century ago. Today, kiwi fruit suppliers vigorously promote kiwi fruit is rich in vitamin C, which is true. According to the analysis, every 100g of fresh exotic pulp contains 100 to 300 mg (even more than 400 mg) of vitamin C, which is 20 to 80 times higher than that of apples and 5 to10 times higher than that of oranges.
No wonder Kiwifruit is listed as an anti-cancer fruit in Food Anti-Cancer Classic, because vitamin C, an antioxidant, can effectively prevent the carcinogen ammonium nitrite from forming in human body. Scientists in Henan once did an experiment: taking 900 mg of vitamin C every day, the content of ammonium nitrite in urine decreased by 60%.
The medicinal value of Monkey Peach has been recorded in medical books of China in past dynasties, and it is believed that it can "regulate middle-jiao and lower qi" and has the functions of nourishing and strengthening the body, clearing away heat and diuresis, invigorating the stomach and moistening dryness. Folk prescription, with 60 grams of monkey peach peeled and eaten raw, can cure internal heat upset, and prevent scurvy, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer and so on. The pharmacological action is that its vitamin C can prevent the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines, and its pulp can reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride. It is said that the monkey peach has a unique skill in treating digestive tract cancer and lung cancer. The root of the monkey peach also has medicinal effects. For some people, kiwi fruit seems to be a bit fruity and bitter after eating. Eating when coughing may aggravate the condition, but it is not known whether this is allergic.
Don't eat mangosteen with cold food such as watermelon, soybean milk, beer, cabbage, mustard, bitter gourd, melon and lotus leaf soup. If you accidentally eat too much, you can cook ginger tea with brown sugar to solve it.
Pineapple can promote body fluid and stomach.
It is said that pineapple was introduced to South China of China from Brazil in the 16th century. Its pulp is soft, sweet and sour, which can stimulate appetite. In addition, it is rich in nutrients such as fructose, glucose, protein, citric acid and vitamins, and it is very popular.
Rumor has it that pineapple is hot and humid, and eating too much will cause diarrhea. In fact, I think it is wrong. Because pineapple is rich in fiber, it can stimulate the intestine and accelerate peristalsis, so some people go to the toilet soon after eating pineapple. From the medical analysis, this fragrant fruit has astringent effect. Eating it in moderation will not only prevent diarrhea, but also help to stop diarrhea.
Li Shizhen, an ancient physician, even thought that pineapple can "strengthen the spleen and stomach and strengthen the vitality". This view is the same as modern scientific analysis. Pineapple is rich in pineapple cups, which can decompose protein in the stomach and help digestion. However, it should be noted that some people are allergic to pineapple, so some western doctors will advise patients with sensitive trachea or bronchus to give up eating pineapple. Even ordinary people have to soak the peeled pineapple in salt water to decompose some organic acids, reduce their toxicity and make the pulp more delicious. If you feel throat discomfort after eating pineapple, it is an allergic symptom. You should stop eating immediately and drink a cup of light salt water to dilute the allergic components.
Invite you to eat lemon.
Lemon can also expectorate, and the expectorant effect is stronger than orange and mandarin. Add warm water and salt to lemon juice and drink it to cough up the thick phlegm accumulated in the throat, which is very effective. At the beginning of a cold, you might as well use lemon and honey to flush, which can relieve sore throat and reduce the discomfort of dry throat.
Both lemon drinks, lemon juice and lemon honey have their own curative effects, but lemon tea is almost the same. It's not that lemon tea is invalid, but that black tea is made at high temperature. The active ingredient catechin in tea is destroyed, but the harmful substances are increased. Moreover, tannic acid and citric acid in tea are quite acidic, so it's best to avoid drinking it for people with stomach problems, but for those with stomach problems, a cup of lemon tea after meals can really help digestion.
Lemon can also give birth, so it is called "mother and child". It can also beautify the face, because its citric acid can remove spots and prevent pigmentation, and it is effective both orally and externally. More research in China pointed out that lemon has the effect of improving uterine anteversion, uterine ligament sagging and even amenorrhea. Lime, which is sour, can lower blood pressure and cholesterol and improve cardiovascular disease. Like grapefruit, it contains an ingredient similar to insulin, so eating it can lower blood sugar, which can be said to be a wonderful "medicine" for fruit.
Litchi when it's hot.
It should be noted that litchi is a thing that nourishes blood, strengthens yang and fires. In the face of this beautiful fruit like white jade, people with fever can only bear it. Patients with gout and diabetes should not eat more. If you eat too much litchi, you can take one of the following teas to reduce the fire. Use 3 yuan (9g) of Scrophularia, 3 yuan (9g) of Ophiopogon japonicus and 3 corduroy flowers, and fry them into a bowl with 3 bowls of water. Or eat cold watermelon and drink a bowl of lotus leaf and melon water, or you can slightly lower the fire.
It is said that boiling water in litchi shell can cure the physical discomfort caused by eating litchi. Yang Guifei used this one-step method to eliminate the sequelae of litchi, such as nausea, limb weakness and dizziness. People with excess heat or liver fire due to yin deficiency should remember that eating less litchi is better than eating more litchi. Those who are peaceful or deficient in cold can enjoy the fruits of Lingnan without worries.
Coconut is pure and pure misunderstanding
Coconut is the treasure of tropical places, with a lot of fat and protein. Picking the ripe coconut from the tree at will can provide a good meal. Coconut meat is warm, can tonify yang fire, and can strengthen the body. It is most suitable for people who are weak, weak in limbs and easy to get tired, especially the stewed chicken with coconut glutinous rice, which has a particularly good effect, because coconut meat, glutinous rice and chicken are nourishing, and the tonic effect is more obvious when treated in stew.
However, people with high body heat should not eat coconuts often. If you sleep at night for a long time, love to eat fragrant fried food, and easily lose your temper and get thirsty, remember not to eat more coconuts. In addition, the sea coconut, which has always been known as clear and moist, is actually the same as temperate zone. If you really love coconut fragrance, you can choose cool coconut water to cool off the heat, or when making coconut dessert, add other ingredients to balance it, such as Radix Adenophorae, Lily and Dendrobium, which can clear away heat and nourish yin; Adding winter melon seeds can purge lung fire; Adding cool snow ear or clear yellow ear can neutralize the dryness of coconut.
When suffering from cold cough, you might as well eat some coconut meat, which can relieve cough, eliminate phlegm and replenish fire. If you don't know what a cold cough is, ignore the symptoms such as physical weakness, itchy throat and no phlegm, and happen to drink cabbage soup, and the cold is aggravated by cold and coughing incessantly, coconut meat or coconut stewed chicken can effectively relieve these symptoms.
Longan tonic is not suitable for everyone.
After longan is dried in the sun, the effect of nourishing blood and calming the nerves is greatly increased, which has great therapeutic benefits for insomnia caused by insufficient blood. However, longan is not suitable for everyone, whether it is eaten fresh or dried to cook soup. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the combination of food taste and personal physique, and anyone with internal heat and phlegm fire should not eat more of it. According to experience, gout patients who eat too much longan may cause joint swelling and pain, and asthma patients with fever themselves may cause lung heat cough. Those who are hot and dry, have phlegm fire, suffer from skin diseases and bloating (excessive liver fire), please remember not to eat more longan.
If you have a peaceful constitution, it is no problem to eat a handful of longan, and people with blood deficiency can even use longan stewed with brown sugar to replenish their bodies. However, when you are suffering from exogenous diseases, you should avoid eating, because this kind of warm and sweet fruit may trap internal heat and delay your illness. When you cough, whether it is cold cough or hot cough, please avoid eating, because the characteristics of longan can make the internal heat more abundant and the deficiency cold upgrade. Although longan has the effect of nourishing blood and calming the nerves, only those who have insufficient blood, that is, those who are flustered, heartbroken and tired easily, can enjoy longan as a diet therapy. Those who are too angry and thirsty should not cross the line, otherwise they will just wait for dawn.
Persimmons are all treasures.
According to modern nutritional analysis, persimmons contain one or two times more vitamins and sugar than ordinary fruits. Ancient medical books think that persimmons can make up for fatigue, and this may be the reason. According to Compendium of Materia Medica: Persimmon tastes sweet and cold, which can relieve heat and vexation, quench thirst, promote fluid production, moisten lung and resolve phlegm, and treat heat cough.
Persimmon can also be used as medicine to treat hiccups and nocturia. Persimmon leaves are more respected in Japan, and persimmon leaf tea made from them contains a lot of vitamin C necessary for human body. It is said that it can lower blood pressure, protect cardiovascular system and treat insomnia. It really deserves further study.
Fresh persimmons are generally cold, so don't eat when you are weak, cold due to spleen and kidney deficiency, and cold due to exogenous cold. More importantly, persimmons are rich in tannins, so they taste astringent. It is best to eat without skin, so as not to affect the absorption of iron, or coagulate when it comes to protein food, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. On the contrary, persimmon is peaceful in nature, can moisten lung and regulate qi, and can be used as fruit food or boiled papaya syrup. The thin layer of icing on persimmon is a specific medicine for sore throat, dry throat and stomatitis.
Tomatoes are appetizing but wet and poisonous.
There is a saying in medical books: "Tomatoes are sweet and cool, which can produce saliva to quench thirst, strengthen the stomach and help digestion." However, what is not recorded in the medical books is that tomatoes are wet and poisonous, which is not suitable for patients with gout, rheumatic bone pain, eczema and other types of skin diseases. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C. One gram of tomatoes contains about 25 milligrams of vitamin C. This vitamin C is protected by organic acids and is not easily destroyed when cooked, so it is easily absorbed by the human body. In addition, tomatoes can reduce blood pressure and can be used as an auxiliary diet for patients with hypertension; Tomatoes can stimulate appetite, especially in summer, which can stimulate children's appetite.
However, it must be kept in mind that people with stomach deficiency and cold (easy to diarrhea) and those suffering from cold cough (itchy throat and white phlegm) should not eat more raw tomatoes, and it is best to cook them before eating. As for patients with rheumatism and skin diseases, it is better to eat less even cooked tomatoes. I have personally seen a patient with benign tumor in clinic, who was cured by traditional Chinese medicine, but after eating a lot of tomatoes once, the tumor recurred the next day? [like. Although this is only an individual case, and it is limited to folk observation for the time being, as long as this problem may occur, it is not appropriate to take risks with your body.
Figs can cure ulcers.
Figs are also called Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, Milk Berry and Impatiens. According to the medical books, they have many uses. Herbal Medicine in Southern Yunnan states that it "governs clearing throat, opening chest and diaphragm, clearing phlegm and resolving stagnation". "Supplement to Materia Medica" refers to its "five hemorrhoids swelling and pain, decoction frequently fumigated and washed, effective. According to research, figs can accelerate wound healing and are quite effective for digestive tract ulcers. In addition, figs are rich in antioxidants and have anti-aging effects.
Ficus carica is also commonly used in folk prescriptions. Ficus carica can cure hemorrhoid bleeding if eaten fresh. Patients with colorectal cancer can also use this prescription as an auxiliary medical treatment, because the pectin and fiber contained in figs will swell when exposed to water and can absorb toxic substances in the intestines. People who are disease-free and painless eat it, and it also has the health care function of detoxification.
Similar to apples, figs also have the effect of regulating the intestines and stomach in two directions. People who have diarrhea due to spleen deficiency can stop diarrhea. On the contrary, people who have constipation can moisten the intestines and relax the bowels. Fresh fruit or dried fruit works just as well. Bake figs and grind them into powder, and take them often to help the gastric ulcer heal. Moreover, the pulp contains many essential minerals and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc and boron. Next time you cook soup, don't forget this "health ambassador".
Banana lowers blood pressure and relaxes bowels.
From the nutritional point of view, banana is a beneficial fruit rich in starch, but from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, banana tastes sweet and cold, can clear away heat and moisten intestines, and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, but it is not suitable for people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea. There is always a reasonable explanation for everything. Bananas are cold, and according to the principle of "those who are hot are cold", they are most suitable for people who are hot and dry. People who suffer from hemorrhoid bleeding, and those who have restless fetal movement due to dryness and heat can eat banana meat raw.
However, it is precisely because bananas are cold, and those who are prone to deficiency and cold have better avoid them. For example, people with stomach cold (light mouth and bloating), deficiency cold (diarrhea and dizziness), nephritis (also deficiency cold) and swollen feet during pregnancy, it is best not to eat bananas raw. You can't eat banana meat unless it is cooked and its coldness decreases. As for cold cough, bananas should not be eaten, but it is acceptable to steam bananas before eating.
Folk prescriptions are more useful for stewing rock sugar with bananas to treat chronic cough; Boil wine with bananas as a diet. Modern medicine suggests that banana can cure hypertension, because it is rich in potassium, which can balance the adverse effects of sodium and promote the growth of cells and tissues. Banana can be used to treat constipation, because it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. The most interesting thing is that German researchers say that bananas can cure depression and emotional anxiety because they can promote the secretion of endorphins in the brain. In short, people who are hot and dry can have a banana a day, but if they are afraid of banana cold, they can choose to eat plantain (with stronger laxative power), imperial banana and other varieties.
Guava for removing dampness and relieving diarrhea
Guava is commonly known as "chicken excrement fruit" and is also available in fruit stalls in Hong Kong. Medical books say that it is "sweet and flat in taste", which can quench thirst, promote fluid production, relieve annoyance, stop diarrhea and kill worms. In fact, another kind of pomegranate with the same name, Anpomegranate, has similar properties. The younger generation may not know what an pomegranate is, but it is actually a fruit pomegranate (with at least one or two hundred seeds per pomegranate) used by men and women for gifts in the past.
Boiling water with pomegranate peel and brown sugar can remove dampness and stop diarrhea, which is very effective for chronic diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency. Collecting the roots of pomegranate, and then adding pomegranate peel and betel nut tablets is a common prescription for treating parasites in clinic. After taking it, parasites can be paralyzed and their muscles stiff and excreted. This prescription is superior to chemical anthelmintics in that it does not contain toxicity, and parasites are discharged only after being poisoned, so adults and children can use it with peace of mind.
There is another prescription, which is to mix pomegranate peel with Xanthium sibiricum, bake it with charcoal, mash it and grind it into powder, add cooking oil and drip it into the inner ear to treat suppurative otitis media. An pomegranate can quench thirst, relieve annoyance, strengthen essence and tonify kidney, and regulate diabetes. Guava also has the same effect, but the effect of Duchong is weak. It should be noted that the formula of guava leaves and fruits (or pomegranates) can only control the blood sugar level, but can not cure diabetes.
Prescriptions for lowering blood sugar mainly based on guava are as follows: (1) Boiling water with immature guava fruits, leaves and oil oranges; (2) Boil guava with water or mix it with pig's pancreas to make soup; (3) decoct guava leaves with more than ten pieces of sweet potato leaves. If guava is eaten as a fruit, people with liver heat should be careful to prevent constipation, because it has astringent and antidiarrheal effects, and it is more appropriate to eat it by removing the core; Another feasible method is to eat it with other fiber-rich fruits (such as grapefruit).
Clearing heart and moistening lung sugarcane
Sugarcane is used medicinally, and it can really relieve the annoyance of heart and chest, dry mouth and thirst, and even the injury of body fluid caused by fever can be solved by sugarcane.
However, remember to distinguish between two kinds of sugarcane. Sugarcane with dark purple skin, commonly known as black-skinned sugarcane, is mild and nourishing, and it is not suitable for those with sore throat and fever. Green-skinned cane, commonly known as bamboo cane, is sweet and cool, has the effect of clearing away heat, and can relieve lung heat and gastrointestinal heat.
People who cough due to lung heat and have a lot of phlegm with yellow and thick sputum can use bamboo cane juice with pear juice to enhance the effect of moistening dryness and clearing lung heat. Bamboo cane and raw lotus root juice also have the same effect. As for people who cough with lung heat until they vomit blood, they can be relieved after drinking. In addition, it is said that this prescription is also effective for urinary system infection, commonly known as hematuria.
Sugarcane juice itself is cold, so people with deficiency and cold constitution should not drink more. If people with cold cough (white and thin phlegm) drink it by mistake, their condition may be aggravated immediately. According to legend, this drawback can be avoided by steaming sugarcane before juicing, but the exact effect remains to be verified. On the contrary, bamboo cane with cogongrass rhizome and carrot boiled water does have the effect of clearing away heat, which is most suitable for children with watery eyes and bad temper. If water chestnut (water chestnut) is added, it can be drunk often when children have chickenpox or measles, which can not only help the virus to penetrate, but also speed up recovery. As the main source of sugar, there is no doubt about the rich nutritional value of sugarcane. If sugarcane juice is too monotonous, you can cook with sugarcane juice, which can be in harmony with your stomach and make your appetite big.
Melon coughs and causes cough
At present, the new strong cantaloupe, Lanzhou dense melon, American dense melon and wrinkled melon we ate were collectively called "melons" in ancient times. According to the ancient medical books, melon is sweet and cold, and the Compendium of Materia Medica points out that it can "quench thirst, get rid of annoying heat and facilitate urination". When it comes to the function of benefiting water, melon is not as good as watermelon, but the degree of coldness is not equal.
However, the degree of coldness of various melons is different. Hami melon is less cold than wrinkled melon, but it is not suitable for people with cold cough (itching and thin phlegm). However, because they can clear away lung heat, people with a hot cough (sore throat, sand and yellow phlegm) are most suitable to eat, which can relieve cough and promote lung qi.
As for Lanzhou honeydew melon and American honeydew melon, it is colder than Hami melon and wrinkled melon, and it is absolutely not suitable for women who are prone to dizziness, menstruation and leucorrhea. Even if it is a dessert made of honeydew melon, people with deficiency-cold constitution and asthma should not eat more. These two kinds of honeydew melons have a characteristic, which will make people warm up when they are hot, or add cold when they are cold. People who are hot and dry may lose their voice and cough if they eat honeydew melon. The reason is that the "great cold" of honeydew melon meets the "great heat" in the body, and the two collide with each other, making the dry fire suddenly? B liters. As for people with deficiency and cold constitution, if they eat dense melons, it is
