"Dandelion, detoxification, stagnation of qi, clear heat and poison, poison food, eliminate swelling. ”
This herb, which was praised by the ancients, is now also known as the "Queen of Herbs".
However, everything in the world has its two sides, and although dandelions are good, long-term consumption may bring unexpected "troubles".
So, how should we make good use of this "double-edged sword" and let it protect our health?
When it comes to dandelions, most of the first things that come to everyone's mind are white floc flying in the sky.
Dandelion, a common weed on the roadside, not only has ornamental value, but also is regarded as a good health product because of its rich protein, vitamins and more than 60 kinds of trace elements.
Especially in spring, soaking dandelion in water has become a popular way to maintain health. However, although dandelions are good, they should not be greedy.
Long-term consumption of large amounts of dandelion may bring the following four "troubles":
01
Dandelion has a certain blood pressure-lowering effect, which may be good news for people with high blood pressure.
However, for people with normal or low blood pressure, long-term consumption of large amounts of dandelion may lead to low blood pressure;
This can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as palpitations, palpitations, dizziness, and even fainting in severe cases.
Therefore, people with normal or low blood pressure should consume dandelions in moderation and pay close attention to their own blood pressure changes.
02
Dandelion is a cold food, for people with spleen and stomach deficiency, long-term consumption of dandelion may aggravate the symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency, leading to diarrhea, indigestion and other problems.
Especially for women, eating too much dandelion during menstruation may also aggravate uterine cold and cause menstrual cramps.
Therefore, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should be cautious when eating dandelion to avoid the above uncomfortable symptoms.
03
Dandelion contains some special substances, and for people with allergies, long-term consumption of dandelion may trigger allergic reactions, such as itchy skin, redness, urticaria, etc.
Therefore, people with allergies should do an allergy test before eating dandelion to ensure that they have no allergic reaction to dandelion before eating.
04
For people with pre-existing gastrointestinal diseases, such as chronic enteritis, long-term consumption of large amounts of dandelion may aggravate diarrhea, abdominal pain and other uncomfortable symptoms.
05
In the face of these potential "troubles", how should we consume dandelions scientifically and reasonably?
First of all, you should be clear about your physical condition and needs, consume dandelion in moderation, and avoid overdose.
We need to realize that dandelion is not a panacea, and although it has certain medicinal properties, it cannot completely replace drug treatment.
While consuming dandelions, we should also maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat reasonably, exercise moderately, and maintain a good attitude.
To sum up, although dandelion is good, long-term consumption of large amounts may bring a lot of "trouble".
Now it's your turn! Do you also have a habit of eating dandelions, or do you have any unique insights and experiences with dandelions?
