The Benefits of Eating Black Fungus
1. Nourishing Qi and Blood
Black fungus is known as the "king of vegetarian food" and "king of nutrition". Every 100g of black fungus contains 185mg of iron, which is 20 times higher than the iron content in spinach, the green leafy vegetable with the highest iron content, and about 7 times higher than the iron content in animal foods such as pig liver. It is the food with the highest iron content among various meat and vegetable products. It can nourish blood, make the skin rosy, and prevent and treat iron-deficiency anemia. It can also reduce platelet aggregation, prevent thrombosis, and prevent atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
2. Weight Loss, Cancer Prevention, and Treatment of Constipation
Black fungus can promote gastrointestinal motility, facilitate the excretion of fat in the intestines, reduce fat absorption, and prevent obesity. At the same time, it can prevent constipation by promoting gastrointestinal motility, which is beneficial for the timely elimination and excretion of toxic substances in the feces, thereby preventing colorectal cancer and other digestive system cancers. Therefore, elderly people, especially those with a habit of constipation, should insist on eating black fungus and frequently consume black fungus porridge to prevent various diseases in the elderly, resist cancer, prevent cancer, and delay aging.
3. Cleansing the Stomach and Intestines
Black fungus can adsorb and concentrate dust and impurities remaining in the digestive system of the human body and excrete them, thereby cleansing the stomach and intestines. It also has a significant resolving effect on endogenous foreign bodies such as gallstones and kidney stones.
Taboos for Women During Menstruation
1. Women should avoid salty food before menstruation. Because salty food can increase the body's salt and water storage. Before menstruation, there is an increase in progesterone, which is prone to edema, headaches, and other symptoms.
2. Many women who like to drink carbonated drinks may experience fatigue, weakness, and low spirits during their menstrual period, which is a manifestation of iron deficiency. Carbonated drinks mostly contain phosphates, which react with iron in the body, making it difficult for the body to absorb iron. In addition, excessive consumption of carbonated drinks neutralizes gastric acid, reduces digestive capacity, sterilization, and also affects appetite.
3. Avoid eating spicy foods and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fatty meat, animal oil, and sweets.
4. Spicy and cold foods are irritating and can cause pelvic blood vessel constriction, resulting in too little menstrual flow or even sudden cessation. In addition, stimulating substances such as tobacco and alcohol also have a certain impact on menstruation. If not avoided for a long time, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders may occur.
