What are the benefits of drinking ginkgo biloba and lotus seed every day?

What are the benefits of drinking ginkgo biloba and lotus seed every day?

Every day drink silver ear lotus seed soup, the benefits are obvious, but "bad" should not be ignored Oh.

Because silver ear lotus seed is very suitable for my constitution, usually I did not eat a lot of silver ear lotus seed soup. However, as a nutritionist, it is still necessary to objectively evaluate the role of lotus seed, eat the right benefits, eat the wrong can be a little trouble.

white fungus (Tremella fuciformis)

Silver fungus, known as "civilian bird's nest", its taste, nature, role and bird's nest are very similar, but the price difference can be far.

One of the more prominent nutritional aspects of silver fungus is silver fungus polysaccharide, which accounts for 60-70% of the dry weight of silver fungus. Ginkgo polysaccharides improve immune function and boost white blood cells, and also protect the gastric mucosa.

Ginkgo is not low in protein either, at about 6-10%, and contains 17 amino acids.

It is also rich in dietary fiber, which cleanses and lubricates the intestines.

According to Chinese medicine, silver fungus has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, and can provide relief for all kinds of dryness problems.

Spring is a love fire season, because in spring, the liver is in season, the liver is the main hair, yang qi hair excess, there will be liver fire problem. But spring is not suitable for cold and hot things to fire, although the fire was "extinguished", but the yang is also inhibited.

"Water suppresses fire. If the fire is not very serious, nourish the yin to replenish the water, and when the water and fire are balanced, there will be no fire.

Therefore, in spring, besides being able to eat foods that generate yang energy, it is also important to eat foods that nourish yin to balance it out. Silver fungus is a very good food.

lotus seed

Raw lotus seed is cool in nature and dried lotus seed is flat in nature. People with hot constitution or acute fire are suitable to eat raw lotus seed, but it is more suitable to use dried lotus seed in daily diet.

Lotus seed has the effect of clearing the heart and tranquilizing the mind, and a strong liver fire in spring will lead to a strong heart fire as well, because the liver belongs to wood and the heart belongs to fire, and wood produces fire. When the heart is on fire, you will become upset and irritable. Tongue is the seedling of the heart, heart fire is easy to mouth ulcers. Inner corner of the eye is the heart, the heart fire people may also "involve" the eyes, so, spring is very easy to outbreak of eye redness, granuloma and other problems.

Silver fungus can complement the "water", water can contain wood; lotus seed can clear the heart, clear the heart can calm the spirit. Therefore, spring is quite suitable for eating silver ear lotus seed soup.

How to cook silver ear lotus seed soup

Often asked by netizens, how to cook the silver ear soup to cook sticky and sticky, rather than eating crunchy? In fact, the key does not lie in the method of cooking, but the variety of silver ear.

Just like foods like potatoes, groundnuts and lotus roots, some varieties taste powdery and sticky, while others taste crunchy - it's not a matter of quality, but a difference in variety. Ginkgo ear also has such a difference.

Generally common ugly ears, Tongjiang silver ear, Qingchuan silver ear, etc., are rich in gelatin, and are cooked out sticky.

Foods like jujubes and goji berries will affect the gelatinization of the silver fungus and take longer to cook. In order to shorten the gelatinization time, you can cook the silver fungus first, wait for the silver fungus to gelatinize, and then add other ingredients to cook. Moreover, jujube, wolfberry, lotus seed, lily and other common food and silver ear with, do not need to be cooked for a long time, first boil silver ear is also appropriate.

There are also many varieties of lotus seeds with different textures and flavors. I prefer Hunan white lotus, which is powdery and glutinous. You don't need to soak them in advance, just cook them directly, so that the cooked texture is more powdery and glutinous.

Cooking silver ear soup is time-consuming, so if you have to drink silver ear and lotus seed soup every day, you can try this new way.

Soak the fungus and tear it into small pieces, dry lotus seeds softened, and then put into the soybean milk machine or wall-breaker, according to the water level line with water, choose "soybean milk" button can be. After playing well and then add some rock sugar on it. Played out of the silver ear soup and sticky and slippery, both convenient and delicious.

Can I eat silver ear and lotus seed soup overnight?

The saying "overnight fungus is toxic" persists, but it's generally not a cause for concern. The fungus itself contains nitrates, non-toxic and harmless. But in the role of microorganisms, nitrate will be transformed into nitrite, can lead to acute poisoning or chronic poisoning, but a bowl of silver ear containing nitrite is minimal, not a threat.

Nitrite in the role of stomach acid, can be converted into nitrosamines, this guy is a little powerful, is a carcinogen, but again there is a dose of the problem, a bowl of silver fungus soup contains nitrites is not much, can be converted into nitrosamines are also basically no threat.

As long as the silver fungus soup is stored properly, in time to serve, put in the refrigerator, overnight silver fungus can also be eaten without fear. But eat before you have to thoroughly heat it again, one is in order to sterilize, the refrigerator's low temperature just inhibit the growth of bacteria, but there is no sterilizing effect, placed for a long time, the number of bacteria will still grow; two is to avoid the cold hurt the spleen and stomach, from the refrigerator out of the food, the temperature is relatively low, often eat cold food, on the stomach is not good.

But watch out for spoiled fungus, which is really poisonous. The spoiled fungus will produce a "rice fermentation bacterial acid" toxin, its power is not small. The culprit of the Heilongjiang family of nine "toppled" to death is this toxin, which not only exists in the spoiled fermented rice and noodle products, but also appears in the spoiled fungus, black fungus.

Who is not suitable to drink silver ear and lotus seed soup every day?

Although the silver ear and lotus seed soup has benefits, but not everyone is suitable. Although the silver fungus soup complement "water", but "water" more will be flooded. Drinking too much silver fungus soup, easy to produce phlegm dampness. Therefore, if itself is a phlegm-damp body people, not suitable for often drink silver ear lotus seed soup, if not divided into body, but also drink every day, not only do not get the expected health effects, but even the body.

Throughout the year, changes in climate and environment will bring about different effects on the body; influenced by emotions, living habits, work and rest, and other factors, the body will also experience different changes.
