Can ice cream with Chinese medicine really be delicious and healthy?
Jin Hui, director of the Department of Clinical Nutrition at Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University, affirmed that traditional Chinese medicine ice cream has no health preservation effect. First of all, TCM believes that human health is closely related to the balance of yin and yang in the human body, and cold food is cold in nature, which can easily lead to damage of yang qi in the human body, which will affect the function of the spleen and stomach. In other words, eating cold foods like ice cream is not healthy in itself. Secondly, Chinese medicine is first and foremost a medicinal material, and it is not allowed to add any other medicinal materials to ordinary food except for ingredients with the same origin as medicine and food. Thirdly, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment of syndromes, syndrome differentiation treatment, whether the Chinese medicine formula in ice cream is suitable for the individual's physique, needs to be judged by professional doctors, if it is not suitable, not only will it not work, but it may also hurt the body. Finally, even medicated diet therapy requires long-term consumption to be effective, but from a nutritional point of view, it is not recommended for people to consume all kinds of ice cream for a long time.
Although ice cream has the effect of relieving heat and cooling down, it is still necessary to grasp the "three suitable principles" when eating.
1. Appropriate amount: Cold drinks are sugary, not suitable for daily consumption, and should not be consumed too much each time, it is best to limit it to less than 80 grams.
2. Timely: It should not be eaten before and after meals; Not suitable for eating after sweating or exercising; Waking up at night is not suitable for eating; Hot food just eaten is not suitable for eating; Generally, it is advisable to eat 1 hour after meals, half an hour after napping, and at noon.
3. Suitability: Young children should eat less; People with gastrointestinal diseases or the elderly with digestive decline should be cautious; People with cardiovascular disease should eat with caution; Diabetics should also be cautious about eating, even if it is labeled as "0 sucrose", they should beware of all kinds of invisible sugars.
In fact
The majority of consumers have a sober attitude towards TCM catering
They don't believe it either
Eat Chinese herbal bread and drink a cup of Chinese herbal coffee once in a while
can achieve the purpose of health preservation
Rather, it is to express their "punk regimen" attitude
——
No matter how hard and tiring life is
Take time to take care of your body as well
