Ginger has so much nutritional value, but we must pay attention to eating time, the ancients said: "Eating ginger at night is better than eating arsenic."
This should be explained by the yin and yang of Chinese medicine: There is yin and yang in the day. From midnight onwards, the natural yang gradually rises. At noon, the yang is the most prosperous and the temperature is the highest; in the afternoon, the yang gradually weakens until the middle of the night. Weak, yin is the worst at this time; after midnight, yang gradually recovers. The activity of life is positive, and the quietness of life is yin. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that people in heaven and man should respond accordingly. During the day when the yang is vigorous, they should have more activities. The supplement of the nature-warming drugs can help the yang hair growth and can take appropriate positive (warm) foods such as ginger. When the second yin gradually prospered in the evening, the yang would converge and could no longer be as excited as during the day. At this time, if you take too much warm food or supplements, it will affect sleep and affect the body's anabolism, which is not conducive to the body after exertion. Self-healing is harmful to the body.
Therefore, tonic drugs, warm supplement (such as pilose antler, red ginseng, etc.) should be eaten in the morning, during the day, so that the spirit during the day; Yin supplements should be afternoon, eat at night, the body is more easy to absorb, use, and conducive to sleep. Therefore, in a general sense, it is beneficial to eat ginger in the daytime and not to eat ginger in the evening.
What I would like to add here is that during the day when the yang is vigorous, we cannot rely on the bed. We should be busy outside; when we do too late, it is easy to damage the yang. Therefore, humans invented the house and the quilt to avoid the yin. Housekeeping. This is the law of keeping in harmony with Heaven. Everything is the same, and vice versa.
Ginger is warm and spicy. It contains essential oils, gingerol, resins and starch. Ginger can enhance and accelerate blood circulation, stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, stimulate the stomach, promote digestion, and have antibacterial effects. Eating a little ginger in the morning is good for health, but at night, because ginger is hot, it can make people get angry and lose their lives. Therefore, it should not be eaten.
Ginger, it contains volatile oil, can accelerate blood circulation; also contains gingerol, has the function of stimulating gastric secretion, excitement of the intestines, and promote digestion; ginger also contains gingerol, can reduce the occurrence of gallstones. Therefore, it has both advantages and disadvantages. As a result, the private sector has left a saying "Go to bed, turn radishes out of bed, ginger," and say that ginger can be eaten but not eat more. Especially in the fall, it is best not to eat, because the autumn climate is dry, dry lungs hurt the lungs, plus eat spicy ginger, it is more likely to harm the lungs, exacerbating the body's water loss and dryness. In ancient medical books, such "warnings" also appeared: "In a year, autumn does not eat ginger; within one day, no ginger is eaten at night." It seems that autumn does not eat or eat less ginger and other spicy foods. It is very reasonable for the ancients to pay attention.
