Are bird's nest effects really as good as advertised?

? Not that good, the role of bird's nest is over exaggerated through hype to achieve the purpose of sales. Bird's nest has high nutritional value, but it is not irreplaceable.

? Bird's nest is the saliva secreted by the swiftlet and other substances cast into the bird's nest. Its main nutrient is protein, and one of them, lysine, is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Since it contains high quality protein, bird's nest has a very good effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, it can clear heat and remove fire, resolve phlegm and stop coughing, and it is very effective in benefiting qi and replenishing blood, and it can improve human immunity, especially for those who have recovered from serious illnesses. So the nourishing effect on women is very good, often after giving birth to a child women need a lot of nutrients, so the effect of bird's nest is fully amplified, and bird's nest has a very good cosmetic effect, so it is touted by more and more women.

But in fact, the nutrients contained in bird's nests (rich in proteins) are very close to the nutrient content of the food we usually eat. For example, we often eat tofu, which contains almost the same nutrients as bird's nest, and silver fungus, which can completely replace bird's nest in terms of nutrients. So if our economic conditions do not allow it, we can completely at home in the silver fungus, jujube and other stewed soup, will also achieve good results.

? And because the nutritional value of bird's nest is known and recognized by many people, the price of bird's nest has risen, and many unscrupulous merchants have begun to sell fake bird's nest or substandard bird's nest abound. For example, replacing the netted nesting strips with the strips of low-priced Hairy Bird's Nest, or increasing the weight of bird's nests by filling them with seaweed threads, or dyeing the bird's nests and selling them as expensive and rare Blood Bird's Nests. So when we buy bird's nests, we must pay attention to identify them. If we do not have an effective way to identify them, these fake bird's nests will also cause some damage to our body. So I suggest you can eat more food with high protein content to achieve the same effect.
