Uncle Liu is a well-known health care expert in the community, but recently, this expert "turned over the car".
It turns out that Uncle Liu grabs a handful of wolfberry soaked in water every morning and puts a few chrysanthemums on it. It is called "clearing heat and detoxifying". Unexpectedly, after drinking wolfberry and chrysanthemum water for a period of time, Uncle Liu developed oral ulcers, and after using watermelon frost for several days, he did not get better. Helpless, Uncle Liu had to go to the Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment.
After inquiring about Uncle Liu, the doctor was dumbfounded and explained to Uncle Liu: " You have a constitution with deficiency of Yin, but wolfberry has a certain warming effect. Excessive consumption will cause body heat and sores on the mouth.
In life, many people know that goji berries are good things, but because they don’t know their physique, they don’t know how to eat goji berries, which often backfires in the end.
Today, let’s talk about how to eat wolfberry.
1. What is good about wolfberry with the same medicine and food?
Traditional Chinese medicine in my country believes that wolfberry has the effects of nourishing yin and eyesight, improving physical fitness, nourishing qi and blood, which are recorded in many ancient medical books:
"Materia Medica" "Shen is full of essence", it can also "make Qi can be filled, blood can be nourished, yang can be produced, yin can be grown, fire can be reduced, and rheumatism can be eliminated", and it has many effects. "Materia Medica" regards wolfberry as "the essential medicine for the deficiency of the true Yin of liver and kidney, fatigue and internal heat".
In addition, in the ancient medical classics, wolfberry was also used to treat " diabetes ", which is what we now call diabetes. "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" records that wolfberry can be used for "internal heat to reduce thirst", "New Edition of Materia Medica" also said that wolfberry "more relieves thirst, especially invigorates fatigue."
Not only that, " Shennong's Materia Medica " also said that wolfberry "long service, strong muscles and bones, light body, not old, cold and heat resistant", can prolong life. "New Materia Medica Preparations" also called Chinese wolfberry "Xiandi fruit".
Modern pharmacological studies also show that in addition to rich nutrition, lycium barbarum contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, there are lycium barbarum polysaccharides, lyciic acid, zeaxanthin dipalmitate, etc. Special ingredients.
such as Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from Lycium barbarum. It can affect the immune regulation function in many ways and has an immunostimulatory effect. At the same time, Lycium barbarum polysaccharides also have antioxidant effects, which can help prevent aging and protect the reproductive system. In addition, it has a certain effect on lowering blood fat and blood sugar.
2. Of course, wolfberry is not suitable for everyone.
The medicinal value of wolfberry is very high. However, because wolfberry has a very strong warming effect and has a good nourishing effect, has a cold, fever, and body People with inflammation, high blood pressure, impatient temperament, diarrhea, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should not be consumed to avoid aggravating symptoms.
3. I heard that wolfberry can nourish the kidney, is it true?
According to "Compendium of Materia Medica", wolfberry can "tonify the kidney and produce essence, nourish the liver and improve eyesight". Since ancient times, wolfberry has been a good kidney-tonifying medicine in Chinese medicine . In the Tang Dynasty's "Introduction to Medicine", Li Bang's "Introduction to Medicine" records that honey pills made of goji berries and dodder seeds, together with light salt water, can treat male sexual dysfunction, infertility, and early gray hair.
Modern medicine has also shown through experiments on white rats that the Lycium barbarum polysaccharides contained in Lycium barbarum can increase the serum sex hormone levels in rats with damaged testicles. does not yet have more clinical data.
Li Hongzhu, an associate researcher at the Tianjin Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, said that although wolfberry has good kidney function, , people with kidney deficiency cannot achieve the purpose of nourishing the kidney by eating a large amount of wolfberry. and kidney deficiency is divided into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Lycium barbarum is mainly used to treat vision loss caused by kidney yin deficiency, weak waist and knees, nocturnal emission and thirst, etc. It is not suitable for people with kidney yang deficiency . Therefore, Li Hongzhu reminded: should not blindly consume wolfberry to invigorate the kidney, so as not to backfire.
4. If you want to really invigorate the kidney, you have to do this
There is a saying in the folks that "ten men have nine deficiencies". Although the statement is exaggerated, it has to be said that with the development of society, many people are under more and more pressure The bigger it is, it will lead to irregular life and more and more people will have kidney deficiency. Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the innate foundation, and the kidney affects various vital functions of the human body. As soon as the kidney is weak, it can easily lead to premature aging, memory loss, mood disorders, and sexual dysfunction. If you want to really nourish the kidney, you can’t just eat wolfberry, you have to do this:
1. Develop healthy eating habits, choose foods rich in high-quality protein, avoid eating foods with high purine content, and reduce salt intake .
2. Drink plenty of water to maintain the body's water balance, and don't hold back your urine to ensure that wastes are discharged in time.
3. Work well and intercourse with discipline, so as not to hurt the energy, blood, and essence.
4. Don't stay up late, work regularly, ensure adequate sleep, go to bed early and get up early, which is conducive to the maintenance of the kidneys.

However, health preservation also requires science, especially in the use of Chinese medicinal materials.We must learn more to see if our physique is suitable, so as not to harm our body.
