It is an exaggeration to say that it is like "arsenic", but it is really bad for sleep. Therefore, eating ginger in the morning has many benefits to the body, and it is not advisable to eat it in large quantities at night. But eating a small amount of ginger at night, such as cooking with ginger as seasoning, will not bring harm to health.
Extended data:
When people are in the morning, the gas in their stomachs needs to rise. Ginger is pungent and warm, and contains active ingredients such as gingerol. Eating ginger can strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, paving the way for the digestion and absorption of food in a day, and the volatile oil in ginger can speed up blood circulation, excite nerves and make the whole body warm. In addition, if you have a cold, drinking ginger soup will also slow down the symptoms of the cold. However, at night, the human body should have a convergence of yang and an excess of yin, so you should eat more food that clears away heat and helps digestion, which is more conducive to rest at night.
The general principle of eating ginger is that cold disease is suitable, hot disease is not suitable, cold constitution is suitable, and hot constitution is not suitable. The biggest role of ginger is to prevent colds. On the contrary, if the symptoms are fever, dry mouth and sore throat, then don't "add fuel to the fire". In addition, people with constipation should eat less ginger, because constipation is mostly intestinal heat. At this time, if you overeat ginger, it will also aggravate the symptoms. I especially remind everyone not to eat rotten ginger, which contains toxic substances and can induce liver cancer.
