Ginger, as a common condiment in the kitchen, can not only deodorize, but also be a homologous ingredient of medicine and food in our lives. Soaking feet with ginger can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; Washing your hair with ginger can alleviate the serious symptoms of hair loss; Boiling sugar water with ginger, red dates and brown sugar can be used as a drink to promote blood gas ... Generally speaking, the benefits of ginger are really numerous.

I remember once in dog days, I cooked Jiang Shui and drank it every day, and I got up and had a drink every day. Although the taste was really bad, I persisted for more than two months, and then I didn't feel cold all winter that year. Although I don't know whether it's right to drink Jiang Shui every day, I believe that Jiang Shui has something to do with not having cold hands and feet in winter. There is a saying handed down from the ancients that you can't eat ginger at night. "Three slices of ginger in the morning are better than drinking ginseng chicken soup; Eating ginger at night is equivalent to eating arsenic. "

So why not eat ginger at night?

Ginger is a spicy food, which can enhance and accelerate blood circulation, stimulate gastric juice secretion and promote digestion. However, Jiang Ye is a divergent food. Night belongs to the time when people's yang is gathering and yin is overflowing. If you eat ginger at night, it will cause a sense of dryness and heat, damage the internal organs of the human body, not only make the human body excited, affect sleep, but also affect the body's anabolism, which is not conducive to the body's self-repair. In severe cases, it may stagnate the heart, consume lung yin and hurt kidney water.

Although "eating arsenic" is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that eating ginger at night is not helpful to people's health, so it is not recommended for people who want to improve their physique by eating ginger at night.
