It is best not to eat or eat less at night

The reason why eating ginger at night is better than eating arsenic

1. This should be explained from the yin and yang of traditional Chinese medicine: There are yin and yang in a day. Starting from midnight, the yang energy in nature gradually rises. At noon, the yang energy is the strongest and the temperature is the highest. In the afternoon, the yang energy gradually weakens until the yang energy is at its weakest in the middle of the night. At this time, the yin energy is at its highest. ; After midnight, Yang Qi gradually recovers. The activity of life belongs to Yang, and the quiet expression of life belongs to Yin.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is a correspondence between nature and man. During the day, when Yang Qi is strong, you should be more active. Taking warm and tonic medicine can help Yang Qi grow. You can eat appropriate positive (warm) foods, such as Ginger etc. When the Yin Qi gradually becomes stronger at night, the Yang Qi will converge and will no longer be as excited as during the day. At this time, if you consume too much warm food or supplements, it will affect sleep and the body's anabolism, which is not conducive to the body after fatigue. self-healing, harmful to the body.

Therefore, among the tonic medicines, those that are warm and tonic (such as velvet antler, red ginseng, etc.) should be taken in the morning and during the day, so that you will be energetic during the day; those that nourish yin should be taken in the afternoon and evening, so that the body can absorb them more easily. Use it to help you sleep. Therefore, in a general sense, eating ginger during the day is beneficial, but it is not advisable to eat ginger at night.

Ginger can enhance and accelerate blood circulation, stimulate gastric juice secretion, stimulate the intestines and stomach, promote digestion, and has antibacterial effects. Eating a little ginger in the morning is good for your health, but eating it at night is not suitable because ginger is inherently hot and can cause internal heat and harm the body.

3. Ginger contains volatile oil, which can accelerate blood circulation; it also contains gingerol, which has the function of stimulating gastric juice secretion, exciting the intestines, and promoting digestion; ginger also contains gingerol, which can reduce the occurrence of gallstones. . Therefore, it has both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "go to bed with radish and get out of bed with ginger", which means that ginger can be eaten, but not too much. Especially in autumn, it is best not to eat it, because the dry climate in autumn can damage the lungs, and eating spicy ginger is more likely to damage the lungs and aggravate the body's dehydration and dryness. There is also such a "warning" in ancient medical books: "Within one year, do not eat ginger in autumn; within one day, do not eat ginger at night." It seems that not eating or eating less ginger and other spicy foods in autumn has long been a problem. It is very reasonable to attract the attention of the ancients
