Carrots are not a cooling food, but a neutral food, neither hot nor cold.
Carrots, used as daily food, are distributed all over the world. They are cultivated in both north and south China, and their output ranks second among root vegetables. Carrot is an umbrella-shaped biennial herbaceous plant whose fleshy stems are eaten as a vegetable. It can fight cancer and is known as the underground "little ginseng".
First of all, carrots are not a cold food, but a neutral food, neither hot nor cold. For example, bitter melon, watermelon, tomatoes, etc. are cold foods, carrots are neutral, and celery is cool. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it can replenish qi, strengthen the stomach and digestion, strengthen yang, calm the five internal organs, and has good curative effects in treating indigestion, chronic dysentery, cough, night blindness, etc.
Second, radish is rich in nutritional value. According to measurements, the carotene contained in carrots is more than 30-40 times higher than that of white radish and other vegetables. (This is to say that white radish is a cold food.) After carotene enters the human body, it can be converted into rich vitamin A under the action of a series of enzymes, and then absorbed and utilized by the body, thus making up for the lack of vitamin A.
Finally, carrots can also enhance human immunity, have anti-cancer effects, reduce the chemotherapy response of cancer patients, and have protective effects on various organs. Women eating carrots can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer. At the same time, it also has a good effect on intestinal peristalsis.
