Mention of "eating placenta", presumably everyone is not unfamiliar, in the traditional concept of many parts of China, "eating placenta" can be greatly supplemented, there are many benefits to the body, although as early as 2005, the former Ministry of Health banned the sale of placenta in the form of approval, but the situation of the human placenta that was resold on the market is still forbidden, and there are still many people who are keen to eat placenta.
What is the allure of the placenta? Let's take a look!
What is the placenta
The placenta is an organ that connects the mother and the fetus, through which the mother transports nutrients to the fetus, while gas exchange and excreting waste matter of fetal metabolism.
In addition, the placenta is also a barrier that isolates most of the bacteria and viruses in the mother's blood from the fetus to protect the fetus from congenital infection with the mother's disease.
To put it bluntly, the placenta is like a garbage transfer station: the mother's blood reaches the placenta, and the placenta filters out the garbage and toxins in the mother's blood, and delivers the nutrition to the placenta, and the garbage after the placenta is used up is returned to the mother through the placenta.
Can that placenta be eaten?
Eating, of course, can be eaten, the placenta is actually a piece of meat, as long as you want to eat, as long as you eat.
The placenta is also called Zihe Che in Chinese medicine, and in the Chinese medicine classic "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is said that it "replenishes qi and nourishes blood, warms the kidneys and improves refinement." Cure weakness and weakness, hot bone steaming, coughing and coughing, night sweats, sperm impotence, infertility, insufficient blood gas in women, less milk."
Indeed, the components of the placenta are protein, sugar, calcium, chorionic gonadotropin, estrogen, progesterone, and some immune proteins and iron. These nutrients are not only easily absorbed by the human body, but also enhance physical fitness. Placenta in Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years.
In this way, the placenta is indeed a good thing. But does it really make up for it?
Although the Purple River Car has good medicinal value, the application of the drug also changes with the change of time. In the long process of development of Traditional Chinese medicine culture, many once good Chinese herbal medicines have been eliminated, Ziheche is no exception, the continuous development of modern medicine, many drugs have been able to completely replace the efficacy of the placenta, and the effect is very good.
And when you cook it, the placental nutrients are broken, and there may not be much you can harvest.
The most important thing is that the infectious virus in the placenta is not damaged at high temperatures, and if the mother has AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis B virus, etc., eating the placenta may be infected with such diseases.
