Eating radish in winter not only tastes sweet and juicy, crisp and no residue, but also radish has the effect of dissipating internal heat, dissipating accumulation and stagnation, and having the effect of wide air, which can alleviate the discomfort caused by "yang heat in the stomach and heat in the stomach" in winter, which is a good product for winter health preservation.
Although radish is good, there are many "rumors" about it.
Let's first talk about "eating radish in winter and ginger in summer", many people will have doubts after seeing this sentence: since eating radish in winter and ginger in summer is good for the body, does it mean that eating radish in summer and ginger in winter will not be beneficial to the body?Some people even think that radish in summer and ginger in winter are poisonous and cannot be eaten!In fact, these are all wrong statements, whether it is radish or ginger, it is safe to eat all year round, and it will not be beneficial to the body, but eating radish in winter and ginger in summer has a better health and prevention effect.
There is also a "rumor" that radish cannot be taken with ginseng traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise the radish that breaks the qi will cancel out its qi-replenishing effect. Later, it was passed down and "upgraded" to that radish has the effect of "solving traditional Chinese medicine", but after drinking traditional Chinese medicine, you can't eat radish, otherwise the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine will be weakened or canceled.
In order to give the radish a fair and avoid it from being misunderstood, we should treat the above "rumors" in this way. Indeed, radish has the effect of breaking qi, the so-called breaking qi, simply put, is the power of qi is relatively strong, for people with qi prostration or qi deficiency after taking ginseng Chinese medicine to replenish qi, and then eat radish, it will indeed cancel their qi tonic effect to a certain extent;However, for people with weak spleen qi and food blockage, the combination of ginseng Chinese medicine and radish can not only tonify the spleen and invigorate qi, but also reduce qi accumulation and stagnation. Therefore, we cannot assume that turnips should never be used in conjunction with qi tonics.
As for saying that radish can "solve traditional Chinese medicine", throughout the medical books of the past dynasties, there is no such statement, only the Qing Dynasty "Materia Medica" has recorded: "Take Rehmannia and Polygonum multiflorum, and avoid eating radish." Therefore, it should not be generalized that radishes should not be consumed after taking Chinese medicine.
