Traditional Chinese Medicine: It turns out that skin is black, but Chinese medicine teaches you how to "eat" white skin again

When I was in college, there was a elder sister who was older than me. She was very beautiful and had very white skin, but she had severe chloasma. She was 30 years old at that time. Later I found out that she went to the hospital every once in a while and went to the hospital several times in a row. When she came back, she seemed energetic. After a closer look, she found that the chloasma on her face had faded. After further questioning, she found out that she went to the hospital to get a drip and injected vitamin C directly into the vein! It turned out that vitamin C helped her whiten.

Because vitamin C itself is a strong reducing agent, and the formation of melanin in skin cells is an oxidation reaction. Melanin is the product of cell oxidation. Using vitamin C is equivalent to reducing melanin and making it lighter in color. , So vitamin C is one of the most reliable whitening drugs. It's just that its whitening process is relatively slow, because it needs to wait for it to complete the reduction reaction, so it is impossible to eat it today and turn white tomorrow.

In the dermatology department of major hospitals, vitamin C is often used for whitening. The doctor's recommended dose for this is more than 1 gram a day. The vitamin C we buy in the pharmacy is 0.1 grams per tablet, so you have to take at least 10 tablets to have the whitening effect. Sometimes, doctors will choose to give intravenous injections according to the patient’s condition. In that case, the amount is 2 to 3 grams per day. This time should also be long-term. It takes more than 3 weeks, or 2 months, 3 months, or even more. It takes a long time to take effect on stains.

However, such long-term use of a large amount of vitamin C cannot be stopped suddenly. Because in the process of injection, your body is already very dependent on it. Vitamin C also has a name called "ascorbic acid". If it is lacking, scurvy may occur and bleeding may occur easily. Therefore, you can't stop suddenly when you stop using it, but slowly reduce it. From the initial intravenous treatment, gradually reduce to oral administration, and maintain it for a week or two, and finally take 0.2 grams a day to make the body have a process of adapting.

Many girls who were thin and dark skinned when they were young have become plump and fair after giving birth. The reason for this effect is that after pregnancy and childbirth, in addition to the changes in hormone levels, women have a special opportunity to recuperate and rest, diet and sleep are guaranteed, and the previously weak Qi and blood just seize this opportunity to be supplemented. , Gradually showing the charm of a mature woman. visible,If you want to whiten, you must not only do superficial work such as sunscreen, but also the fullness of qi and blood can ensure the "basic color" of the skin. On this basis, eating more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C is also a necessary "homework."

Among fruits, fresh dates, kiwis, and oranges have the highest vitamin C content; peppers and green leafy vegetables are among vegetables. The most effective way to eat these foods is to eat them raw, and do not squeeze the juice, because vitamin C is particularly easy to lose efficacy after processing and heating. If you want to maintain the effect of vitamin C, cold dishes are the best. You can also make a fruit salad. Mix the vitamin C-rich vegetables or fruits together and make sure to eat them once a day. In the long run, it will be the healthiest vitamin C supplementation method. It is more natural to inject after vitamin C deficiency causes stains.

In addition to vitamin C, another substance that can inhibit the formation of melanin is vitamin E. For a long time in the past, fashionable women in Beijing liked to go to the hospital to prescribe a kind of "vitamin EC mixture" health care product. This medicine tastes very good, sour and sweet. After getting up early in the morning, if you take a bag, it is easy for people to be Accept it and keep the skin fair. This method really makes sense, because vitamin E also has the effect of inhibiting oxidation. Together with vitamin C, it reduces the production of melanin, an oxidation product, and the skin naturally turns white.

However, it should be noted that under normal circumstances, Chinese people are not lacking in vitamin E, because Chinese people eat the highest amount of vegetable oil in the world, and their vitamin E intake is much higher than in the West. If it is necessary to supplement, generally supplementing 10 mg per day can achieve the purpose of delaying aging, diminishing stains, and whitening the skin. But generally not more than 100 mg, otherwise it is not good for health. Under normal circumstances, the vitamin EC mixture on the market contains 100 mg of vitamin E and 200 mg of vitamin C. Generally, one bag per day is enough.

In fact, nuts in food are rich in vitamin E, and nuts contain vegetable oils and fats. The human body needs a certain amount of fat, which can help the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. But from the perspective of beauty and skin care, if you eat too much animal fat, it will aggravate the overflow of sebum, make the skin rough and accelerate skin aging, but vegetable fat does not have this problem, it can make the skin soft. Therefore, as long as the conditions permit, it is best to develop the habit of eating nuts every day.The method is also simple. You can eat a handful of hazelnuts, almonds or two walnuts at breakfast every day. I have contacted many nutrition experts, and their breakfast is very rich, usually a cup of milk, two slices of bread with an egg or a slice of beef with sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables in it, and finally a handful of nuts, because Only in this way can it be the most reasonable and healthy breakfast, and it is also a beautiful breakfast.

Since skin dark spots are related to the deposition of melanin, and the formation of melanin depends on the supply of tyrosine, then if you want to whiten, eat less foods rich in tyrosine. So far, the foods confirmed by nutrition experts to make people black are potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as crustaceans, such as clams, crabs, river snails, oysters and other aquatic products. People living by the sea have darker skin, not only because of the sun, but also because they eat more aquatic products. But it does not mean that potatoes will turn black as long as they are eaten. First of all, it is a matter of quantity. As long as they are not eaten in large quantities for a long time, it is generally not a problem. There is also the problem of your physique. If your tyrosinase conversion ability is super strong, you may be a person who is prone to spots. At this time, you have to pay attention. Many people like to eat potatoes, but their skin is still very white, maybe because their tyrosinase is not so "skilled", they can still "ignore" in the rich tyrosine environment. If you have the physique of the former, but you are not satisfied with the skin of the latter, you will be a little "excited" by talking about others' whiteness.
