The ancients said: Eating ginger in the morning is better than drinking ginseng water; eating ginger in the evening is equivalent to eating arsenic.

Ginger contains volatile essential oils, which can increase blood circulation; at the same time, it contains gingerose, which can stimulate gastric secretion, stimulate the intestines, and promote digestion. In addition, ginger also contains gingerol, which can reduce the occurrence of gallstones.

Ginger has both benefits and harms. In Chinese folklore, there is a saying: "Go to bed with radish, wake up with ginger", which means you can eat ginger but should not eat too much at night.

Ancient medical books also "warned": "Within a year, do not eat ginger in the fall; within a day, do not eat ginger at night."

Especially in autumn, it is best not to eat, because autumn weather is dry, dry air damages the lungs, plus eating spicy ginger, it is even easier to damage the lungs, causing increased dehydration and dryness in the body.

It seems that the ancients have long considered it important not to eat or eat less ginger and other spicy foods in the fall, and this has been analyzed very scientifically.

Also related to this issue, the ancients have a saying: Eating ginger in the morning is better than drinking ginseng water; eating ginger in the evening is equivalent to eating arsenic.

The reason is that ginger can enhance and promote blood circulation, stimulate gastric secretion, excite the intestines and stomach, promote digestion, and also has antibacterial effects.

In the morning, the stomach is full of gas. Eating a little ginger will strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, encouraging the yang energy to rise. At midnight, the yang energy in the body is withdrawn and the yin energy is strong. Eating ginger at this time will violate the physiological laws.

In contrast to ginger, radish is cold, reduces heat, clears heat, and reduces gas and indigestion (eliminates bloating). After a tiring day, eating a little radish will help moisten the throat and aid digestion, clear heat, and promote rest.
