Tan Chao, an associate professor of internal medicine in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, gave a detailed science popularization on how to eat boiled eggs scientifically. Ground vegetables, also called "shepherd's purse", are very common in spring. Chinese medicine believes that shepherd's purse is sweet and cool, enters the liver, spleen and lung meridians, and has the effects of clearing heat and stopping bleeding, clearing liver and improving eyesight, strengthening spleen and promoting diuresis, and reducing swelling. Shepherd's shepherd's purse can be used as medicine, so when picking it, it must be rooted together, because the root of shepherd's purse can "cure eye pain" and make the effect of ground vegetables more comprehensive.
In spring, bacteria and viruses are easy to breed. Pharmacological research shows that hesperidin contained in shepherd's purse has the functions of anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria, anti-virus and increasing the content of vitamin C in the body. In addition, shepherd's purse contains shepherd's purse acid, which can shorten the clotting time and help stop bleeding. People who often have bleeding gums and nose are suitable for eating, but friends who need anticoagulation after surgery are not suitable for eating.
Shepherd's purse Shepherd's purse stems are slender and rich in crude fiber, which can enhance the peristalsis of human large intestine and promote fecal excretion, thus improving constipation and metabolism.
In addition, shepherd's purse extract can effectively dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure, which is beneficial to people with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but friends with low blood pressure are not suitable for eating more vegetables and boiled eggs, so be careful not to cause dizziness because of low blood pressure.
In addition, shepherd's purse contains ergot, which has similar effect to oxytocin and may cause obvious uterine contraction, so pregnant women should try not to eat ground vegetables and boiled eggs.
Associate Professor Tan Chao reminded that boiled eggs with local dishes vary from place to place, and sometimes other ingredients are added. Special attention should be paid here: when making eggs with local dishes, remember not to add salt, because salty taste enters the kidney, and local dishes already enter the liver, spleen and lungs. Adding salt will greatly reduce its medicinal effect.
Since you can't add salt, in order to make the vegetable soup more delicious, you can put a few red dates or a little brown sugar when cooking, which is delicious and into the spleen. You can also add a little "spicy" food such as ginger, which can increase liver qi and better improve the discomfort of "spring sleep".
In order to strengthen the function of expelling wind and relieving pain, many people will put maple sugar balls (Passepartout) when cooking local dishes and eggs. Some people will pick up maple syrup balls by the roadside and cook them together. In fact, the maple ball that fell to the ground and was picked up is dead, and its medicinal value is greatly reduced. In winter, it is best to pick Passepartout who is still hanging on the tree.
Passepartout's fruit-bearing time is particularly long. It ripens in autumn and will not fall until next spring. Because of its wind resistance, Passepartout has a good effect on dispelling wind and dredging collaterals. Moreover, it can pass menstruation, so it is best not to put passepartout when women eat vegetables and boiled eggs during menstruation, otherwise it may cause more menstrual flow and even leakage.
