There has always been a saying of loofah "sunset" among the people, which is almost unknown among men. Mr. Zhu, the marketing manager of a cultural company, said that he used to like loofah very much, but after knowing its terrible consequences, he began to draw a clear line with it. He doesn't quite believe that eating loofah will be "no good", but he doesn't think it is necessary to take risks in such a thing. "If it all turns, the consequences will be very serious!"

Nutritionist (Li Jian, Department of Nutrition, West China Hospital): According to the sexual taste of loofah, some ancient Chinese medicine books say that loofah can reduce yang. In fact, from the perspective of modern medicine, there is no need to avoid taboos. Because towel gourd is harmful to yang, but it also occurs on the basis of a certain amount, which has a very obvious nourishing effect on yin, and has a good therapeutic effect on dysmenorrhea, fear of cold and breast lump in women. We advocate a balanced diet, not that you only eat loofah, but that all kinds of food must be reasonably matched. Many foods have bisexual effects, that is, the effects and functions are often very different when the amount is small and the amount is large. There is also a folk prescription to treat impotence, that is, 200 grams of old loofah, which can be taken twice with sweet water at the end of grinding to induce aphrodisiac and treat premature ejaculation. Therefore, there is no need to avoid taboos to prevent impotence and premature ejaculation, and it is forbidden to use tonics everywhere, increase psychological burden, and avoid malnutrition and physical weakness.
