Ginger soup is often used to treat colds and dispel cold. In fact, drinking ginger soup is not only these benefits, but also has many benefits. The following small series will introduce it to you. 1, increase appetite If you have a bad appetite, you can drink some ginger soup before meals, which will increase your appetite and promote nutrient absorption. 2, to prevent air-conditioning disease in hot summer, many families and offices are open air conditioning, people enjoy the cool breeze, but also easy to suffer from "air-conditioning disease." Often manifested as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, colds, waist and shoulder pain and other symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger has three functions: sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, warming stomach and stopping vomiting, and detoxifying. People in air-conditioned environment often drink ginger soup, which can effectively prevent and treat "air-conditioned diseases". If you want to prevent "air conditioning disease", you can bring some shredded ginger before going to work and soak it in water, so you don't have to worry about the invasion of "air conditioning disease". Friends who like tea can add some green tea, which not only tastes good, but also is more beneficial to their health. If you want to alleviate the "air conditioning disease", ginger soup should not be too light or too strong, and drinking a bowl a day can play a role. You can also add a proper amount of brown sugar to ginger soup, because brown sugar has the functions of tonifying the middle warmer, slowing the liver, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating menstruation. For patients with severe symptoms, you can drink ginger soup as water. 3, treatment of abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, high temperature in midsummer, all kinds of bacteria are active, a little careless, it will be sick from the mouth, easy to cause acute gastrointestinal inflammation such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking some ginger soup properly can play a preventive role. Ginger can play the role of some antibiotics, especially against salmonella. 4. Treating colds and colds In summer, in order to avoid the heat, people are used to blowing fans, turning on air conditioners, and even sleeping outdoors, which can easily cause exogenous cold. If you can drink 1 bowl of brown sugar ginger soup in time, it will help to drive away cold and fever, or you can get the same effect by soaking your feet with ginger soup (adding some salt and vinegar). However, for the wind-heat cold, the human body has already felt the heat evil. If we take warm ginger medicine at this time, it will be like adding fuel to the fire, which is counterproductive. Therefore, to treat a cold, we must treat it according to syndrome differentiation, and we must not adopt the method of "covering sweat with ginger soup". The most important thing when catching a cold is to "eat according to your constitution and time". Liao Guisheng, a doctor of Chinese and Western medicine in Taiwan Province who has studied dietotherapy, thinks that cold dietotherapy should change with the course of disease. Some foods are suitable for aftercare at ordinary times, but it is best not to eat them when they are infected with inflammation or influenza. The gingerol and gingerol in ginger can sweat and drive away the accumulated heat in the body, especially the ginger with less water, which can promote blood circulation better. Adding brown sugar can supplement calories. However, ginger soup is only suitable for people with exogenous wind and cold, but it is not suitable for drinking. Moreover, ginger can promote blood circulation. If there is inflammation or bleeding, don't eat it. Some people think that you should eat more fruits during a cold. Liu Jianhui, a physician at Taiwan Province Taian Hospital, said that it depends on the individual situation. Eating more fruits can supplement vitamin C, but whether vitamin C can treat or prevent colds is still controversial. Moreover, fruit juice or fruit is mostly cold, which may cause bronchial contraction and aggravate cough. Except for fever, it is not suitable for eating during a cold. In particular, fruits with more water, such as watermelons and pears, are colder. If you have cough, runny nose, loose bowels and cold hands and feet, it is easier to make your condition worse. Inflammation or influenza: pears, watermelons, sugar cane, coconut juice, onion and black bean soup, etc. Generally, when there are inflammatory reactions such as sore throat, runny nose or thick yellow sputum, fever and high fever, it is not advisable to take tonics, such as ginseng, angelica, astragalus and sesame oil, so as to avoid adding fuel to the fire and make the condition worse. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold fruits such as watermelon and pear have antipyretic effect and can be used to "turn off the fire". In addition, the onion and black bean soup recorded in the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine can not only relieve headache and stuffy nose, but also help people with fever. The practice is to take the green onion and add lobster sauce to make soup. Scallion has the effect of sweating, in which malic acid and phosphoric acid can stimulate blood circulation, and the effect of sweating is faster than that of ginger soup; Fermented lobster sauce can supplement protein in the body. 5, prevent colds white radish, tea white radish has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and diuretic effects, is a good natural anti-inflammatory drugs. In daily life, adding honey to raw radish juice can relieve sore throat after drinking it. Recently, Harvard University in the United States also found in a study that people who drink five cups of black tea or green tea every day for two weeks will greatly enhance their immune ability, and can drive away more than 10 times of cold and influenza viruses than those who don't drink tea.
