It was a cold night and the wind was blowing, and the persimmons were hung with lanterns.
Late autumn has arrived, and when the persimmon leaves are gradually knocked down by the autumn rain, the branches become the "world" of persimmons.
There are numerous golden persimmons hanging on the branches, and there seems to be a vast orange ocean between the earth and the sky, swaying in the wind, and it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
From a distance, the scenery is picturesque and breathtaking;
Look closer... You are so close, what else are you looking at! Eat! picture
Eating persimmons in the golden autumn not only satisfies the appetite, but also nourishes the body and is a wonderful experience given by nature.
Today, let’s talk about persimmons.
Produce fluid and quench thirst
Wang Mengying recorded this about fresh persimmons in "Suixiju Food Spectrum": "It nourishes the yin of the lungs and stomach, and is suitable for a body with dryness due to fire and dry body."
If you have problems such as stomach heat hurting yin, lack of stomach yin, dry mouth, polydipsia, etc., it is beneficial to eat some persimmons appropriately.
We all know that the normal metabolism of body fluid is very important to the life activities of the human body.
The metabolic process of body fluid involves many organs and tissues.
The stomach is an important part of it.
"Su Wen: Different Treatises on Meridians" tells this: "Drinking into the stomach, the essence and qi swim overflowing, passing upward to the spleen, spleen and dispersing essence, returning to the lungs, unblocking the water channels, descending to the bladder, and the water and essence are spread around. The Five Classics go hand in hand.”
In other words, body fluids "move" in our body, and the body fluids in the body are often in a state of dynamic balance.
If you imagine the movement of body fluids in the body as a branched "assembly line", it is "processed and transported" "link by link" and then distributed throughout the body.
Then, the stomach is upstream of this "assembly line".
If there is insufficient body fluid at the "stomach" step, it will be really difficult to proceed with the next "process".
Persimmon helps us replenish stomach yin and relieve problems such as dryness and fire.
How does Persimmon do it?
Let us turn our attention back to the "assembly line" just now.
After the food and drink enters this "assembly line", it must first be accepted and decomposed by the stomach.
If the stomach "goes on strike" at this moment, it will be difficult for this "assembly line" to continue.
Persimmons can help us soothe our "strike" stomach and persuade it to continue working.
Studies have shown that certain components in persimmons help nourish stomach cells and regulate the digestive ability of the stomach.
Huh? The stomach here is "resuming work", why is the assembly line still not "flowing"?
When I turned around, I saw that my intestines were "rotting".
After the food and water grains are accepted and decomposed by the stomach, a series of "operations" such as the secretion of the small intestine, the main liquid in the small intestine, and the main fluid in the large intestine are required before the water and grain essence can be absorbed.
It's not okay to have a rotten intestine.
Fortunately, persimmons can also solve this problem.
Research shows that persimmons help regulate intestinal movement and improve intestinal status.
Persimmons are rich in pectin, which is a water-soluble dietary fiber and has good intestinal moisturizing ability. Moreover, scholars have found that persimmon extract is very helpful in maintaining the growth of normal intestinal flora.
When the intestinal flora is normal, the intestines "work effortlessly" and gradually stop being "rotten".
If you want to use fresh persimmons to relieve thirst and relieve problems such as dry mouth, polydipsia, and insufficient stomach yin, you can choose sweet persimmons when choosing persimmons.
Persimmons can be divided into two categories: sweet persimmons and astringent persimmons according to their fruit deastringency process.
Sweet persimmon fruits deastringify themselves on the tree and can be eaten after autumn and winter. The astringent persimmon pulp has an astringent taste and needs to be artificially removed before it can be eaten.
Completely sweet persimmons can naturally and completely remove astringency on the tree regardless of whether there are seeds in the fruit. They can be peeled and eaten like apples, pears, and peaches. This kind of persimmon is crisp, sweet, and delicious, with no astringent taste.
The method of consumption is also very simple. You can eat it directly, or you can chop it into juice and drink it with boiled water. It is very helpful for regulating polydipsia and dry mouth caused by stomach heat and yin damage.
Anti-arteriosclerosis and prevention of cardiovascular disease
After entering autumn and winter, the heat slowly recedes and the cold gradually sets in.
The seasons change, the weather gets cooler, and the temperature difference between morning and evening increases. At this time of year, there seem to be more patients in the cardiovascular-related departments of the hospital than usual.
When the temperature is low, the human body's oxygen consumption is greater than when it is warm. In order to maintain normal body temperature, blood vessels constrict, blood pressure increases, and the heart rate increases, which increases the burden on the heart.
Moreover, when the weather gets cold, blood flow is relatively slower than when it is warm. If the blood viscosity is high, it is easy to develop problems such as blood clots.
If you want to survive the cold season smoothly, it is very important to pay attention to cardiovascular protection.
If you are taking care of yourself from the perspective of diet, persimmons can be placed on the selection list.
Scholars have compared the dietary fiber, polyphenols, and mineral contents in persimmons and apples, and found that the dietary fiber, total polyphenols, gallic acid, β-coumaric acid, and sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, The content of iron and manganese is much higher than that of apples. All these substances have an important impact on preventing cerebral artery and coronary artery blockage.
Researchers also found that persimmons contain a certain component that can reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis in the human body. In addition, persimmons can inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
Other studies have shown that persimmon flavonoid glycosides extracted from astringent persimmon juice have the ability to lower blood pressure, enhance coronary artery flow, and prevent heart disease.
When we want to use persimmons to fight arteriosclerosis and prevent cardiovascular diseases, we can choose astringent persimmons.
Astringent intestines and hemostasis
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that persimmons can astringent the intestines and stop bleeding.
If you have problems such as hemorrhoid bleeding, dysentery, and bloody stools, you can also eat some persimmons appropriately.
Modern scientific research has also confirmed this ability of persimmons.
Research shows that the active substances in persimmons can directly affect blood vessels and have the ability to temporarily regulate vasoconstriction.
Some scholars have found that persimmons have a relatively weak ability to regulate platelet aggregation. In addition, when a wound occurs, persimmon can regulate platelets and "mechanically" block the wound to stop bleeding.
Oral ulcers
If we "dry" persimmons, we will get a "cake"-shaped ingredient: persimmon cake.
After persimmons are made into persimmons, a white pink frost will form on the surface: persimmon frost.
This persimmon cream is a good thing for treating oral ulcers.
Especially for the elderly who are prone to recurrent oral ulcers, a little persimmon frost can often solve big problems.
Recurrent oral ulcers are a very common disease among oral mucosal diseases. The cause of this disease is not clear, but the scope of the disease is very wide. It is possible to develop regardless of age and gender.
Once the disease develops, you are likely to face problems such as recurrence and periodic recurrence.
Although mouth ulcers don’t sound like a fatal problem, the pain is really painful.
With the occurrence of oral ulcers, there will be a "burning" pain in the ulcer area, whether eating or drinking. These things that are "enjoyment" for ordinary people have now become "enjoyment". Torture".
It is even more disturbing if it happens to the elderly.
The elderly tend to have slower metabolism, reduced ability of tissues and organs, and reduced immunity. Therefore, the degree of keratosis of the oral mucosa is poor, the mucosa becomes thinner, and ulcers are prone to ulcers that are difficult to heal.
In addition, the elderly may have other problems and need to consider their medication. Faced with this kind of recurrent oral ulcer whose pathogenesis is not yet clear, it is really helpless.
The existence of persimmon frost solves this problem very well.
Regarding the treatment of recurrent oral ulcers by persimmon frost, medical staff have done such a clinical verification.
Research
Medical staff randomly divided more than 100 elderly people into two groups, one group was treated with persimmon frost, and the other group was treated with a certain drug for control.
The results showed that more than 95% of the patients treated with persimmon frost improved.
One day after topical application of persimmon frost, the pain was relieved. There was no obvious spontaneous pain except for touch, and the ulcer surface was reduced. Two days after topical application, the pain was almost gone, and the ulcer surface continued to decrease.
usage
The specific usage is as follows:
Take an appropriate amount of persimmon frost, grind it into fine powder and set aside.
Before using persimmon cream, rinse your mouth with light salt water to clean the mucous membrane of local lesions in the oral cavity.
Spray persimmon frost on the affected area with a thickness of about 1mm, and the area is slightly larger than the ulcer surface. Let the persimmon frost stay on the damaged mucosa for 30 to 60 minutes, 3 to 5 times a day, and use it for 3 to 7 days.
Although persimmons are good, don’t be greedy.
You know, there are some things to pay attention to when eating persimmons.
For example, when eating persimmons, try not to eat them with foods with high protein content such as crabs to avoid the formation of "stomach persimmon stones".
"Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Persimmons should not be eaten with crabs, as they can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea."
There are some other things to note. Yiru has told you before, but you may not remember them very clearly, so Yiru will repeat them again.
Things to note when eating persimmons:
1. Don’t be greedy and eat too much, just take 1-2 pills a day.
2. Do not eat persimmons on an empty stomach or with the skin on.
3. It is not recommended to eat it with crabs, sweet potatoes, and seafood (seafood).
4. People with diabetes should not eat it.
5. People with weak spleen and stomach should not eat it.
6. Patients with malaria and those suffering from gastritis, hyperacidity, high gastric dilatation, gastric bleeding or obstruction should avoid eating or eat less.
7. People with cough caused by external factors and cough with internal accumulation of phlegm and dampness should not eat this product.
Things to note when eating persimmons~
The soft and juicy persimmon meat slides on the tip of the tongue, and the sweetness that explodes in an instant makes Yiru stunned.
In a daze, Yiru seemed to have entered a wonderful world where words cannot express her feelings.
As far as the eye can see, it looks like a sea of persimmon trees.
Yiru seemed to be standing on the palette and accidentally spilled the orange-red dye bucket.
Breeze picked up a handful playfully and applied a handful to the east and a touch to the west. In the blink of an eye, the orange-red color had soaked into the mountains and water. It was so spectacular.
When the sweetness entered her stomach, Yiru gradually came back to her senses and realized that delicious food can take us to thousands of mountains and rivers without leaving home.
Eat three meals a day and travel through thousands of rivers and mountains.
Eat well, stay calm in the evening, and stay cool in the cold, making every ordinary day overflow with joy.
