Goji berries in water are not nutritious?

Goji berries in water is a method that many people, especially office workers, like to use to maintain their health. But, goji berries in water is not nutritious? Is this true? How to consume goji berries is the best way?

[Introduction to Goji berries]

Lycium barbarum L. is a perennial dicotyledonous deciduous shrub belonging to Lycium barbarum L., family Solanaceae. Lycium barbarum L. is a perennial dicotyledonous leafy shrub. Lycium barbarum L. is an infinite inflorescence often heterogamous pollinated plant, with light-loving, saline and alkali resistance, wind and sand resistance, barrenness resistance and other biological characteristics. Chinese wolfberry has a long history of cultivation, Ningxia, Hebei, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi and other places are planted, especially in Ningxia area cultivation area is extensive [1].

The fruit of the goji berry plant - goji berries that we use to make water - is also one of the items that is deeply popular as a medicinal food.

[Goji berries in water are not sufficiently nutritious]

1. Essential nutrients

Each 100 g of goji berries contains 4.49 g of crude protein, 2.33 g of crude fat, 9.12 g of carbohydrates, 96.00 mg of carotenoids, 0.053 mg of thiamine, 0.137 mg of riboflavin, 19.80 mg of ascorbic acid, and is also rich in minerals, and the total number of amino acids in the dried fruits is 9.5%, with the essential amino acids accounting for 24.74% of the total [ 1].

These essential nutrients that goji berries have are also found in other fruits and vegetables. The point is that we usually soak goji berries in hot water.Water-soluble B vitamins and vitamin C are easily destroyed when encountering high temperature. And crude protein, crude fat, fat-soluble carotenoids, amino acids, etc. Dissolved amount is small, basically are stored in the flesh of wolfberry last to be poured out!. So it's not as bad as eating fresh fruits and vegetables to get more of these nutrients.

If you still want a brightening effect, then it is recommended to wash and eat goji berries (daily intake of 20g or less is appropriate) as a snack, it will be more useful than soaking water to drink.

2, wolfberry in the real pharmacological effect of the main substances

Lycium barbarum polysaccharideIt is the conjugate formed by polysaccharide and polypeptide or protein, which is the main active ingredient in the flesh of wolfberry. The research results show that the polysaccharide of wolfberry can not only enhance the immunity of human body and regulate the immune function of human body, but also has the functions of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, protecting liver, anti-aging and anti-tumor;flavonoidIt is the most widely distributed class of compounds in the pulp of wolfberry, with the expansion of coronary arteries and lower cholesterol, enhance heart contraction, reduce the number of heart beats and obvious antioxidant effects;betaineIt is a quaternary alkaloid, the effect of LBP on lipid metabolism or fatty liver is mainly caused by betaine, which acts as a methyl supply in the body [2].

Doesn't it seem to make sense to talk about these substances with pharmacological effects in goji berries above? It doesn't! After careful scrutiny, it was found that although these kinds of nutrients are soluble in water, theBut the amount of goji berries we use in our daily infusion is too small to get the desired dosage effect.For example, experimental animals were given 5-10 mg/kg of lycium barbarum polysaccharide per day, and an increase in the activity of T-cell natural killer cells was found after 1 week [3]. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide accounts for 5% to 8% of the dried fruit of wolfberry, if the dose of experimental animals to calculate the amount of wolfberry that people need to consume every day will have to be calculated in kilograms, so want to drink water made of wolfberry to achieve certain effects is not possible.

summarizeThe goji berry soak water nutrition is not sufficient, goji berry it contains some nutrients, other foods also have. Want to be healthy a little more, it is necessary to dietary balance plus exercise is the hard truth.

Hope is a white-collar worker in an office. Every day, she either stares at the computer and taps on the paperwork, or writes and calculates on the densely arranged reports, and loves to shop online on her cell phone during her breaks, so she often feels her eyes are dry and sore, and sometimes she even feels dizzy, which affects her normal work and life.

In fact, this phenomenon has occurred in many office workers, long-term on the computer, cell phone and other electronic devices, it is easy to cause visual fatigue. And there is a kind of food can precisely play the role of bright eyes, today we will talk about it.

Little red fruits have big effects:

Mention of Chinese wolfberry, has always been good at health care of the country is not unfamiliar with. Chinese wolfberry, this seemingly ordinary red fruit has a variety of health effects, since ancient times is a good medicine and food. Chinese wolfberry taste sweet, sex flat, its sweet tonic and calm, the quality of wet more liquid, into the kidney can benefit the essence of the marrow to help Yang; go to the liver can replenish the blood and eyesight; return to the lung to moisten the lung to stop coughing.

It can be applied to all diseases caused by deficiency of liver and kidney and yin deficiency of lung and kidney. It is a good medicine for nourishing yin and helping yang, benefiting essence and replenishing blood. Modern medical experiments have proved that Chinese wolfberry has the pharmacological effects of relieving visual fatigue, promoting the regulation of immune function, liver function, anti-aging function and anti-fatigue. In addition, winter is a good season to tonify the kidney, and the wolfberry is a good tonic for the kidney, often eat has a good health effect.

How to eat for the best health:

In life, many people like to use goji berries in water, soup or porridge, but in fact, this is not a good way to eat goji berries. Myth - the eye protection effect of wolfberry depends on the zeaxanthin in it. But zeaxanthin is not soluble in water, just soak in water or soup, and can not be fully released. We usually soak in hot water, and some of the vitamins in wolfberries will be destroyed when they encounter high temperature. At the same time soaking for a long time, will also make it denatured and lead to reduced efficacy.

What's more, many people are used to pouring out the wolfberries after soaking them in water, which is a waste of the nutritious part into the garbage can. Usage - the wolfberry after cleaning, without any processing directly chewing, so that the absorption of nutrients will be more fully. Many people like to do congee or make soybean milk add goji berries, it is recommended to add after the pot, you can maximize the retention of its nutrients.

Wolfberries are rich in a variety of trace elements and vitamins, can nourish yin, enhance immunity, but only in the case of persistent consumption of medicinal value, occasionally eat once or twice the effect is not obvious.

There are also contraindications to eating goji berries:

The number of wolfberries eaten every day should not be too much, otherwise it is easy to nourish excessive. In general, healthy adults eat about 20 grams of wolfberries per day is appropriate; if it is dry chewing wolfberries, the number of food should be halved.

In addition, goji berries are not suitable for everyone, because it warms up the body's effect is strong, is a cold and fever, body inflammation, diarrhea, as well as suffering from high blood pressure, temperament is too impatient people are best not to eat. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the wolfberry also has a "shelf life", there is a wine flavor of the wolfberry has deteriorated, can not eat again.

Nowadays, many people often on the computer and cell phone, in order to protect the eyes and eyesight, many office workers will often soak goji berry water to drink, a little more sophisticated on the use of goji berries in soup. But most of the office workers in order to save time, are taking it directly to drink water. But recently there are statements that the wolfberry water is not nutritious, this is how it is?

Drinking water with goji berries is the most common, but most of the vitamins contained in goji berries are water-soluble, easily destroyed by heat, and contains carotene and other carotenoids are difficult to be completely absorbed. And soak for a long time, easy to lead to its denaturation, the efficacy will decline. Wolfberry eye protection mainly rely on its rich in zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin is not soluble in water, so soak or soup, can not make it completely released. Most people will pour out the goji berries after soaking, throwing away the nutritious ones.

From the consumption method, directly chewing goji berries on the absorption of nutrients will be more fully, more conducive to play its health effects. Chewing directly with the mouth, the absorption of nutrients in goji berries will be more fully, more conducive to the health effects of goji berries. But chewing goji berries should pay attention to, in the number of eating the best halved, otherwise it is easy to nourish excessive.

Goji berries are not all people can eat, goji berries nourishing at the same time have the effect of warming the body, so the body has dampness and heat and phlegm-dampness in the obstruction of people, manifested in high blood pressure, irritability and temperament, usually eat a lot of meat and red people, as well as colds and fevers, body inflammation, diarrhea of the people, it is best to do not eat, or not only to achieve the effect of health, but also aggravate the condition.

Chewing goji berries is indeed more than goji berries soaked in water can best play the role of goji berries, it should be noted that the use of goji berries to nourish is not the more you eat the better, everything more than this degree is not good, we must control.

Chinese wolfberry, also called wolfberry, white thorn, dog milk, is a traditional food of China. Wolfberry is rich in a variety of nutrients and biologically active ingredients, including vitamins, proteins, minerals, polysaccharides of wolfberry, polyphenols, carotenoids, etc., which has a good nutritional value and health effects. Lycium barbarum soak is a common way to consume Chinese wolfberry in daily life, only in the use of Chinese wolfberry soak should pay attention to the method.

Hello, I'm Dr. Xiao Xing, MD, welcome to follow me and share interesting health tips every day.

Why the water goji berry infusion no nutrition? Let's take a look at what nutrition in wolfberry, wolfberry in the play nutrition and health care function is mainly in the vitamins and bioactive components. Vitamin C is easy to be destroyed at high temperatures, so if boiling water to brew goji berries may cause some of the vitamin C loss. What's more, wolfberry is very important in the wolfberry polysaccharides, alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols and other biologically active ingredients, through simple soaking and can not be completely dissolved in water, and these are the key ingredients of wolfberry nourishment and nourishing the body.

So it's not that goji berries are not nutritious, but simply drinking a little goji berry infused water doesn't allow for good absorption of the nutrients in goji berries. Therefore, we have the following small precautions when drinking goji berry water. First, don't use boiling rinse hot soak goji berries, first use flowing water to rinse goji berries, and then use warm water for brewing, you can cover the lid to simmer for a while. Second, drink goji berry water more to eat goji berries, because as mentioned before, the key active ingredients in goji berries are not well dissolved in water, most of them are still retained in goji berries fruit, so compared to drinking water, eat goji berries is more critical. Third, eat goji berries do not greed more, goji berry sugar content is relatively high, it is recommended that you do not intake more than 10 grains per day, but be sure to insist on taking goji berries every day, so as to achieve the effect of nourishment.

In addition to the thermos soak goji berries, you can also use more goji berries in cooking, such as cooking soup, sprinkle a small handful of goji berries at the end, both to increase the flavor of the food, can enrich the nutrition in it. If you have the conditions of friends, eat fresh goji berries is also a good choice Oh.

Wolfberry bubble water to drink, is a lot of people, especially office workers like to use to maintain health. Plus chrysanthemum is to clear the liver and eyesight, dry chewing water to make soup can tonic kidney, goji berries in water has no nutritional value? Is this true? How to eat wolfberry is the best way?

For the wolfberry, we really are no strangers, but for its understanding as well as consumption methods, many people are not too understand, just know that it is our traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, is a good tonic, has a significant anti-aging, nourishing the liver and kidney, benefit the essence of the eyes and other effects. In the way of consumption, many people in order to save trouble, just use it to soak water to drink, think this is more convenient, but do not know, simply drink goji berries soaked water, nutrition can not be fully absorbed. Lycium contains riboflavin, carbohydrates, crude fiber and other such basic nutrients, other fruits and vegetables also have. In all seriousness, it's not that goji berry infused water is not nutritious, it's just that the nutrients may not be as full. The point is that we generally use hot water to soak goji berries, water-soluble B vitamins and vitamin C meet high temperature veggies are easily destroyed. And crude protein, crude fat, fat-soluble carotenoids, amino acids, etc. Dissolved amount is small, basically are stored in the flesh of wolfberries in the last to be poured, so it is better to eat fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement these nutrients to more. To say that the wolfberry has nutritional value is the polysaccharide of wolfberry, polysaccharide of wolfberry is polysaccharide and peptide or protein formed by the conjugate, is the main active ingredient in the flesh of wolfberry. Relevant research results show that the polysaccharide of wolfberry can not only enhance the human immune system, regulate the immune function of the human body, but also has the role of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, protect the liver, anti-aging and anti-tumor, that is not to say that the Chinese wolfberry has these important role, and not, because the amount of Chinese wolfberry we eat is too small, and most of them are used to soak, soak over the Chinese wolfberry are poured, so if you want to have a good effect. Then it is recommended to wash the goji berries and eat them as a snack, it will be more useful than soaking and drinking.

Therefore, goji berries in water nutrition is not sufficient, goji berries it contains some nutrients, other foods also have, scientific dietary patterns plus a moderate amount of exercise will make our body healthier.

Hello, everyone! I'm Blessed Dad, a licensed physician. Specializing in weight management and nutritional treatment of disease for twenty years. I hope my answer is useful to you.

Chinese wolfberry is a traditional Chinese tonic herbs, and is a medicinal herb. Now popular health, many people like to use Chinese wolfberry tea to drink, said to be able to lower blood lipids, lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, tonifying the kidney and Yang, liver and eyesight, anyway, health care is very much. But in reality, many people find, drink a period of time of Chinese wolfberry tea, did not find any special effects. So wolfberry tea drink in the end there is no nutrition?

Objectively speaking, the nutritional and health care value of goji berries in tea is very limited. The reason is very simple: the amount is too small.

Let's start by analyzing it from a nutritional point of view. Goji berries contain small amounts of protein and fat, which are completely negligible in a tea made with only ten or twenty grams of goji berries per day. Goji berries contain a variety of vitamins, but no particularly high content. The only thing that stands out is the relatively high content of carotenoids, which is why goji berries are able to brighten the eyes. When the body vitamin A deficiency, night vision will decline. And carotene in the body can be converted to vitamin A, can play a role in improving night vision. So for people with vitamin A deficiency, eating goji berries really has a brightening effect. But drinking water with goji berries is not useful, because carotene is fat-soluble and insoluble in water. Only eating goji berries directly is useful.

Analyze it again from a medicinal point of view. Let's remember a rule: but all medicines are weak in medicinal properties. The same is true of the wolfberry. Modern botanical and pharmacological studies have found that there are many beneficial plant compounds such as lycium berry polysaccharides, betaine, flavonoids and so on in goji berries. Pharmacology has also found that these plant compounds have the effect of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, improving immunity, anti-tumor, anti-aging and so on. However, we should not be too happy too early, the vast majority of these effects are only seen in the results of animal experiments, human clinical verification information is still very little. What's more, these plant compounds have to reach a certain dose to be effective. Take the role of goji berry polysaccharide to enhance immunity, if you rely on eating goji berries, to reach the dose to take effect, almost every day to eat a few kilograms of goji berries to do. Drinking a little bit of water is not enough at all.

Therefore, the role of drinking water with goji berries is really not much, rather than directly as a snack to eat a handful of dried goji berries, maybe also a little use. In my opinion, goji berries is a dried fruit snacks, occasionally eat can, but do not put the health of goji berries on.

Chinese wolfberry is a popular health food, but also has long been recorded in the national pharmacopoeia of medicine and food with food, "Compendium of Materia Medica" for the Chinese wolfberry also has a record. Chinese wolfberry soak water and drink is most people eat Chinese wolfberry one of the way, especially the office family more like Chinese wolfberry soak water health way. Goji berries in water, this way of consuming goji berries is good?

The most prominent nutrient in goji berries is lycopene, and it is lycopene that gives goji berries their beautiful color. Lycopene is a very powerful antioxidant nutrients, its antioxidant capacity is beta-carotene 3.2 times, vitamin E 100 times. It is also because of this powerful antioxidant capacity of lycopene that it can lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Lycopene can block the sun's ultraviolet damage to the skin, so that the skin more radiant. Lycopene also has a good protective effect on the male prostate, and can reduce the damage of smoking on the lungs.

Lycium contains not only lycopene, which contains polysaccharides for the human body also has benefits. But these nutrients and goji berries compared to a little difference, after all, lycopene is the most prominent nutrients of goji berries. But in the way of consuming goji berries, goji berries soak water to drink this way is not the best way to consume, the reason is that goji berries contain lycopene.

Lycopene is a fat-soluble vitamin, soluble in fat and organic solvents. It is difficult to dissolve the lycopene contained in goji berries into water. Most people tend to pour out the goji berries directly after drinking goji berry water, which is a really unfortunate way to do it. If you want to continue to use the way of drinking goji berries in water, it is recommended that you finally eat the goji berries so that you can get the lycopene in goji berries.

Goji berries in water, high temperature destroys nutrients

Soak goji berries with hot water, will lead to which is rich in certain vitamins due to high temperature and was destroyed, and soak for a longer time, the more likely to lead to its denaturation, the more pronounced decline in efficacy.

Instead of making tea, why not make soup?
