The Health Benefits of Ginger 姜




古人云:“早上吃姜,胜过吃参汤;晚上吃姜,等于吃砒霜(早上吃姜有益,晚上吃姜有害)。”
    生姜味辛性温,含有挥发油、姜辣素、树脂及淀粉等。姜能增强和加速血液循环,刺激胃液分泌,兴奋肠胃,促进消化,还有抗菌作用。早上吃一点姜,对健康有利. 但晚上吃,因为姜本来属热,会让人上火,劳命伤身,所以不宜吃。
    生姜,它含挥发油,可加速血液循环;同时含有姜辣素,具有刺激胃液分泌、兴奋肠道、促使消化的功能;生姜还含有姜酚,可减少胆结石的发生。所以它既有利亦有弊,民间也因此留下了"上床萝卜下床姜"一说,说明姜可吃,但不可多吃。特别是秋天,最好别吃,因为秋天气候干燥、燥气伤肺,加上再吃辛辣的生姜,更容易伤害肺部,加剧人体失水、干燥。在古代医书中也出现这样的"警示":"一年之内,秋不食姜;一日之内,夜不食姜。"看来,秋天不食或少食生姜以及其它辛辣的食物,早已引起古人的重视,这是很有道理的。(新华网重庆频道)
