As a tonic, Astragalus membranaceus can not only help to lose weight, but also treat constipation due to qi deficiency. Some people are often constipated, but the stool is shapeless and soft. This kind of person should never drink anything like detoxification and laxative tea on the market, but should take medicine that tonifies qi. Because this situation is often insufficient lung qi, resulting in slow intestinal peristalsis. Such people, drinking some astragalus porridge will have a laxative effect. For ordinary people, it doesn't matter if you can't tell whether you can eat astragalus. Tell you a simple way: touch your abdomen. Some people's stomachs are always bloated, and when they feel a little hard, such people can't eat astragalus. However, some people's stomachs look bulging, but they sink when pressed, which is very soft. Such people are qi-deficient, so they are very suitable for eating Astragalus. Physically speaking, Astragalus membranaceus is most suitable for people with qi deficiency and spleen dampness, who tend to be puffy and have soft muscles, especially abdominal muscles. People who are very thin and strong are not suitable. From the physical condition, don't eat astragalus when you have a cold or menstrual period. In terms of season, ordinary people should not eat astragalus in spring. Why can't you drink astragalus porridge for a cold? Because Astragalus membranaceus is exterior-strengthening, it helps the body to close the door and prevent foreign evils from invading. However, when the body has already felt the external evil, it will become a closed door and keep the disease in the body, and there is no way to vent it. In the same way, spring is the season of hair growth, and the human body needs to declare hair, so it is not appropriate to eat astragalus. Friends who really don't know their physical condition can go to the supermarket to buy some shepherd's purse or houttuynia cordata, eat one or two meals and search for Chen Han. You can drink astragalus porridge the next day. (Source: "Encyclopedia" Chen Yunbin: "The Wisdom of Going Home to Eat")
