Radish and wolfberry are “affordable health food”. They have been highly respected by doctors since ancient times. Why can’t some people eat them?
1
Radishes are good for laxatives
Not suitable for people with qi deficiency
Radish, known as “little ginseng” in the folk, is not only rich in a large amount of plant protein, vitamin C, folic acid and other nutrients, but also induces the human body to produce interferon, inhibits the synthesis of melanin, and prevents fat deposition… It is indeed rare!
But a large number of people eat radish because it contains B vitamins and minerals such as potassium and magnesium, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help the excretion of waste from the body; it is also rich in dietary fiber, which is good for bowel movements. Qi can have a very good effect, especially when you are constipated, after eating it a few times, the whole person will feel much more comfortable.
It should be noted that radishes are good for generalization, but they are not suitable for everyone. Eating it incorrectly will not only fail to relieve constipation, but will aggravate symptoms such as fatigue and epigastric discomfort.
The reason is that, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, radish has the effect of depressing qi. If you are middle-aged and elderly people, the qi deficiency is very serious. If you eat more radishes, it will not be good for constipation.
Constipation can be divided into virtual and real, and the symptomatic improvement effect is good
Many people suffer from constipation, but they have tried many methods, but they are not getting better. In fact, to remove constipation, score physical fitness, such as:
◎People with gastrointestinal heat, often have dry stools, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, dry mouth, bad breath, and sores on the tongue. If they have diarrhea and heat and moisten the intestines, they can take 3 grams of cloves, 6 grams of fried radish seeds, and 6 grams of Coptis chinensis Decoct in water for 15 minutes, 1 dose a day, divided into 2 times for 1-2 weeks.
◎People with stagnant liver and spleen qi often have dry stools but unpleasant bowel movements, loss of appetite, and bowel sounds and qi. , add 250 grams of hot water to make a substitute for tea.
There are other types such as cold secret, virtual secret, etc. It is necessary to distinguish the constitution, and follow the doctor’s advice to use rational drugs for conditioning.

As a last resort in middle age, I put wolfberry in a thermos cup
“Compendium of Materia Medica” records that “Lycium barbarum is sweet and moisturizing, and nourishing… It can invigorate the kidney, moisten the lung, generate essence, and invigorate qi. A good product for health preservation, it is also a daily tea drink for many middle-aged and elderly people.
More studies have found that the wolfberry polysaccharide contained in wolfberry can improve the body’s immunity and help fight tumors; β-carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which is helpful for brightening eyes, protecting respiratory mucosa, and preventing colds… …
But goji berries are warm, people with a hot constitution must pay attention to the amount of consumption, and people who are suffering from a cold, fever, inflammation, and diarrhea are best not to eat it.
In addition, people who are too impatient, or people who consume too much nutrients on weekdays and cause their face to turn red are best not to eat it, otherwise not only will they not achieve the effect of health preservation, but also may aggravate the disease.
So, how to eat wolfberry?
First of all, it is best not to exceed 20 grams a day for one person. Excessive consumption of wolfberry will make people angry, nosebleed, and even cause red and swollen eyes.
Secondly, wolfberry can be eaten raw and dry, and can also be soaked in water alone or combined with other ingredients to soak in water and make soup. However, for people who are prone to getting angry, they can drink fresh wolfberry juice properly, which is more peaceful in nature and taste.
