After the summer, the high temperature is hot, and there will be a rainstorm from time to time, so the hot and humid weather is not only easy to be tired and sleepy, but also easy to be "entangled" by moisture. In summer, the humid climate, eating too much meat, staying up late to sleep, irregular work and rest, etc., are all sources of moisture, and excessive dampness is easy to hurt yang energy. Many people think that spring is the key period to get rid of dampness, but it is not. Compared with spring, summer is easy to sweat, and the moisture in the body is discharged with sweat, which is the best time to remove dampness.
In the traditional food culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, people have always paid attention to eating according to the season. Under the premise of moderate amount, you can eat more dampness in summer, and the most important thing to eat at this time is not bitter gourd and cucumber, but the inconspicuous one. There is some truth to the old saying "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer without a doctor's prescription". Summer is the best time to eat ginger, and the period from the beginning of summer to the dog days is the harvest period for young ginger. At this time, the young ginger tastes better and is not as spicy as the old ginger.
Like old ginger, young ginger contains protein, polysaccharides, vitamins and a variety of trace elements. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger has the effect of dissipating cold in the warmth, relieving surface sweating, dispelling wind and dehumidifying, and eating some ginger regularly can promote the discharge of moisture from the body, and has a good relieving effect on cold, cough and other symptoms caused by cold. In addition, ginger can also promote appetite, aid digestion, and have a good effect on relieving stomach discomfort, indigestion and other problems.
The efficacy of young ginger and old ginger is basically the same, but the side effects of young ginger are small, and it is suitable for daily dietary conditioning. The common practice of young ginger is to cook, but eating too much at one time may cause irritation. If you want to eat ginger to regulate your body, you can try to make young ginger into ginger candy snacks, insist on eating a few slices a day, after a period of time, the moisture in the body is discharged, and the whole body becomes relaxed.
