Reporter Of this newspaper, Yan Sheng

People often say that "eat turnips in winter and eat ginger in summer, without a doctor prescribing medicine". This theoretical basis comes from the medical classic Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. There is an article in the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" called "The Great Theory of The Four Qi Toning Gods", which is about the changing law of the climate in the four seasons of the year, and a basic rule that is very important for health maintenance is to "conform to the four times". This theory was concretized by the ancients in their practical lives, so there is a saying that "eat turnips in winter and eat ginger in summer".

So, is winter really suitable for eating turnips?

Radish is both a delicacy and a medicinal herb

Radish has been used as a dish and medicinal herb in China for thousands of years. In the Tang Dynasty's book "New Cultivation of Materia Medica", it is clearly recorded that radish loose service or cannon boiling and serving has the effect of "lower qi, clearing the valley, removing phlegm, and taking the juice of raw mashing to quench the thirst", which can "benefit the five internal organs, light body, make people white, and have fine muscles". In this way, radish also has the effect of weight loss, beauty and skin care.

Li Shizhen also has this description of radish in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Roots and leaves can be raw or cooked, can be sauced, can be soy and vinegar, can be sugar and wax, can be rice, is the most beneficial among vegetables." "Modern research shows that radish contains a variety of vitamins and calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, often eat radish can reduce blood lipids, soften blood vessels, prevent coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis." In the folk, radish has the reputation of "little ginseng".

Radish cooked to eat sweet taste, raw eating crisp taste, can be burned, fried, stewed, mixed, stuffed, made soup, etc., but also pickled, sauce, soaked, dried, made into a variety of radish products. In winter, the white radish after frost beating is an indispensable dish on the table.

Radish is clear and digested, which can solve the accumulation of food in winter

Why do you say that you eat turnips in winter?

The Treatise on Typhoid Fever records: "In November, the yang qi was in it, and the stomach was hot, and the yin qi was weak and could not overcome the heat, so it wanted to be naked." "November here refers to the lunar calendar, which is during the harsh winter season.

Huang Huang of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine introduced in his article that this is because of the depression and heat of winter people. Cold and frozen, people's texture is tightly closed, pores shrink, coupled with people's good appetite in winter, chicken, duck and fish meat or stew or pot, and winter less than exercise, so the yang is not easy to vent, phlegm is easy to become hot, food accumulation is often there. In winter, people with sore throat, constipation and bloating, headaches and dizziness, sores on the mouth and tongue, red-faced night sweats, and people who die in the middle of the storm are often several times higher than in summer. At this time, it is very appropriate to eat more turnips. Radish can clear heat and laxative, dissolve phlegm, sober up wine and detoxify, and is indeed a good health product in winter.

People with spleen and stomach deficiency should not eat more white radish

It is suitable for eating white radish in winter, but also pay attention to some taboos. Wu Liqiang of Taicang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Jiangsu Province introduced in his article that people with cold radish, cold constitution or spleen and stomach deficiency, and loose stool should not eat more.

In addition, radish is rich in dietary fiber, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcer patients will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract after eating, so it is not advisable to eat too much. White radish and some vegetables and fruits should not be eaten together. For example, radish and oranges are best not to eat together. After eating radish, it is not advisable to eat persimmons, pears, apples, grapes, mustard greens and other fruits and vegetables for a short period of time.

Finally, it is best not to eat turnips during the period of taking the cream. Winter cream side contains ginseng and other tonics, Chinese medicine believes that taking ginseng can not eat radish at the same time, because the radish is down, and the tonic effect of ginseng is just the opposite
